¶ The record indicates that on October 17, 1991, Grenfell sent a notice of default via certified
mail to Anderson’s address at 1937 Ernest Avenue in Missoula. The notice stated that Anderson
was in default for failure to pay October rent, and past-due utility bills, and Anderson had until
October 28, 1991, to bring the balance current or Grenfell would "take possession of the building
and its leases." Although not listed specifically, the record indicates that Grenfell’s calculations
included May through September utilities, late penalties, and interest. The record further
indicates that it was undisputed at the time that Anderson owed May, June and August utilities.
Anderson would later claim he did not receive a notice for July utilities, and that September
utilities had not yet been invoiced, and therefore he was not in default for these amounts. The
certified letter was returned to Grenfell "unclaimed." The record provides no evidence that a
person at the Ernest Avenue address actually rejected the letter.
