I've been out of pocket for a while here, cooking up some things involving BED BUGS. It's totally crazy how out of control the issue seems to be. But before I get into that...
Okay, I’ve been angry at Tenants before. I admit it. I’m human. And there’s never a time more typical for a Landlord/Tenant relationship to bubble-over with vitriol then right at the moment where it all ends, and it’s time to settle up. That’s when all the building irritation comes to light, and my, oh my is it unpleasant to look at.
I’ve never been so angry as to pursue any of my Tenants after the end of their lease, to date, as I’ve done my best to maintain a pleasant relationship with them through the course of our business together. But that doesn’t mean that everyone else has such healthy contractual relationships.
Gone Feral’s ex-Landlord is speculated to have
gone to some rather creepy extremes to express their displeasure at some of the Feral’s previous slights. Something about their cat, the male half of the Landlord-set, and some sort of stay in a medical facility. Sounds pretty messed up. But then things apparently spiraled further out of control, involving harassing emails, and perhaps even the dispatching of a computer virus. Intrigue indeed!
Speaking of intrigue, what the hell is up with Detroit? Is that economy ever going to pick up in any measurable way? Will Ford ever matter again? At least one decent Landlord there made an effort to be kind to the
Breakfast at Gigi’s couple, who were renting in some neighborhood plagued by crackheads and car theft. They requested that they be able to break their lease early to avoid certain tragedy, and the Landlord not only granted their wish without charging a break-lease fee, but even transferred their deposit to another of his properties in another, decidedly safer part of town.
It is a shame that their car didn’t make it out, though.
