I worry about why I forgot to charge them before they left. ---

If someone slipped anything paper under our door, chances are the dog or cat would destroy it before either of us saw it. Especially the cat - he loved to tear up paper. ---

I would take the $20 and slide a note back outside the door saying “Thank you, the curse has been lifted”. ---

In a big apartment building like this I’d probably be a little paranoid and wonder if there is something on the bill. Pick it up with tongs and wash it before I touched it. ---
