Calling All Property Managers...
We're booking signings and appearances for the upcoming release of FOR RENT. I had an idea, I thought it would be fun (and fitting) to host a book signing in an actual apartment building. However, the building would need a rec room and parking. If you happened to have something like this at your building, and would want to host a signing, send me a PM.Thanks!-Erin
Adios!
Raise your hand if you've ever had one of those days where you wish you could speak your mind? Write an email telling your co-workers exactly what you think of them and STILL keep your job? I did thisonce.Of course, I posted it to social media anonymously. But still...I felt better :)This reader had the same idea..."I was in charge of the newsletter once upon a time, and this was one issue that I *almost* got away with publishing on my last day. It was a tough property so I decided to voice my frustrations. Even though it stayed in the "proof" stage, it still lives on and gives me a good chuckle when I read it."

Why?
Can someone explain why you would wrap your entire stove in foil?I see this in apartments a lot.Nice kitchen with a foiled-covered stove.I mean, I'm not a complete idiot, I get that you don't want to get your stovetop dirty.But don't you have to clean the foil?Or do you replace the foil every time?So you never have to clean anything....K, never mind. I get it.*goes and wraps stove in foil.

Bartering
A resident tried to pay rent in cash, coins, lottery tickets and a nice gold watch worth "thousands" but looked like she bought it at Forever 21.

Why I Always Smell Mayonnaise
Showed a man a two-bedroom apartment.He asked for an application but first wanted give me the story as to why his credit wasn't going to be great.So, once upon a time, he ate bad mayonnaise from a food truck.He said he knew it was the mayonnaise that made him sick because it smelled weird and was a yellowish hue.Not that it stopped him from eating it.The smelly yellow mayonnaise made him sick.(ya think?)He didn't think I was grasping the severity of the bad mayonnaise situation.(because I wasn't)So he lifted up his shirt and showed me his colostomy bag.(point proven)Ran his credit and, as promised, it wasn't great.But it wasn't terrible either.Approved with higher deposit.But mayonnaise has forever been ruined for me.
