Chris is the acquaintance who introduced me and Francois to each other. He seemed very concerned with Francois' "furnitures" and at one point called me to tell me that Francois has left Toronto, his base was Quebec anyway, and he has no plans to come back except to visit.

Chris Richin: Hey buddy, it's Chris the French guy. I talked to my friend Francois for the flat and he's going to call the landlord to make sure that you're not going 5:24 PM
Chris Richin: When do u move out? We have to take some furnitures before u leave. Or at least when u move can u give the keys to Jeff or Angie? 5:25 PM
Me: Hi Chris. I'm not entirely sure, things are a bit difficult. I got a termination date earlier than what I agreed with Francois. Francois is a bit uncooperative. It looks like I need to get legal advice. We'll be in touch. 11:26 PM
Me: (The biggest problem is that I have very little time and a lot of things to do..) 11:27 PM

[I ended up selling Chris a Canadian Whiskey bottle aged 20 y + glasses gift set as well as a "Small Furnace" brand new electrical heater, all for $20]
Me: Enjoy the heater and the whiskey-sante! :-) 7:50 PM
Chris Richin: Merci! See u later buddy. I'll talk around about ur stuff, hope u will get rid off what u want 7:55 PM
I was thus quite surprised when, after forcing his way into my room and leaving with some items I had not given him (some of which he later on returned), Chris came back to my door to call me "a**hole" (with a delicious French accent) and accuse me that I like to "take people's stuff."
