Yay for Grace! And happy birthday Olivia!
ION, our landlord has just noticed that we've been withholding a small portion of our rent for four months now. This despite the fact that we've enclosed a note every month with our check, saying "Here's a list of the repairs we need you to make [which we have repeatedly asked him to make for well over a year now]. We will happily pay you the money we owe you once those repairs are underway." SHOCKING that in the voicemail he left for M, he didn't mention the repairs. Grr.
Thanks for the info, folks!
Huh. Now they are letting us go at 3:30. I'm not sure what to do about that, since I'm sure my shuttle will be on its regular schedule.
I'm glad to hear Grace's surgery went well.
I've gotten those Shop it to me invitations before, one from a former student intern (whom I was pretty sure wouldn't be sending one to me) and one from a person whose name I didn't recognize. I assumed they were spam.
Kate, I swear your landlord must be perpetually stoned.
I am going to try and be a good role-model for mac today and not just sit around, so I am calling chore day, not necessarily onerous, but I may hit some of those. Thus far:
made pumpkin muffins
washed dishes
cleaned up clutter in livingroom
Now:
cleaning off the desk
Kate, I swear your landlord must be perpetually stoned.
It's really the most likely explanation, isn't it?
Man, now I want some pumpkin muffins.
Kate, did you look into local landlord/tenant law before you withheld that portion of the rent? Generally, it's not allowed unless the repairs are needed make the place habitable.
Heh. If only *we* were perpetually stoned, it would be so much easier to deal with him!
