Lorne ,'Smile Time'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
That's such crap. Whether they thought she'd be able to sell it or not, they still should've disclosed that little tidbit of information. Jerks.
The part I'm most disgruntled about, on your behalf, is that she'll want to show the place and that is such a PITA for you and Dave. Grrr.
Did you and Dave pay a fee to this rental agent?
We each paid a $25 background check fee, but other than that I assume they make their money off the property owners. Which I guess means that all of their loyalty is to them, and we get screwed over.

The agent also claims she never showed it once in the 6 months the last renters were there. If she does start showing it on a regular basis, we are out of there.
Is there a professional organization you can report them to for withholding information? That's just wrong, there ought to be some sort of consequences for them.
I have already given away the clerical level work I did - so a temp is not an option. I work in some very specialized programs that require special permissions within the company. My main beef is that I've been told to delegate, so fine, I'm trying - but it takes two to tango - ya know?
Ahh, then I just shake my fist in their general direction on your behalf.
sj, that sucks. Best-possible-outcome-for-you-and-Dave (owner and Agent can bite me) -ma.

I suppose we can call the Better Business Bureau or the Realtors Association. We're going to see if they can get a 6 month lease first; then at least we know that if she sells it in that time we are safe until then and she can't just suddenly raise the rent on us. Dave is going to call Joe tonight.

I'm still a fan of
Spike's Bitches 30: going on 13
(...and I'd like to put in a special request for the apostrophe, this time. I don't know whether we never had an apostrophe, or if it was just this time around we didn't get one, but every time I see the apostrophelessness I get twitchy. I have issues.)
Popping into the end of this lovely thread to say:
Happy Birthday Twin Beth. It's my natal day too...and a grand day it is. I'm really enjoying mine and hope yours is your best ever.
Bless bt and the Wallybee and their delightful love. How precious are they?! Which reminds me I should get a photo of the Fella and me to share. (thanks for the fever wisdom the other week y'all. I really was completely out of my mind. Back now.)
Extra strength, high-powered ~ma to all who need/want it. I've got plenty to spare today!
Happy Birthday, Beej!

Well... okay then. I don't hate them *quite* as much as I did before.
Happy Birthday, Beej!! I'm glad things are going well with the Fella!
