For Rent

Once again one of my tenants is moving out, and I've had a parade of misfits, dead beats, and unsavory characters coming by to look at the available apartment. What the hell happened to all the nice people? If you have a job, have never been evicted, don't smoke, aren't an alcoholic who refuses to share, don't store food under the bed, don't flush your drugs down the toilet when you suspect the cops are out front when it is only me walking my dog (it clogs the sewer), the drug you do, do is only a little bit of marijuana, aren't a loud asshole, keep a clean home, have no easily communicable diseases that can penetrate a wall, and pay your rent every month, then you can rent this apartment. $1050 for strangers, or $995 for those who I deem worthy of whore rates. Being insane is not a barrier to renting as long as your insanity is a quiet insanity. Also, I not only allow dogs and cats, I encourage it, to a point. No cat hoarders or Iditarod dog teams. Two of each should be sufficient for anybody. One last thing, if you bring a dog or cat with you, please when you leave, take them with you.

  1. I fit all of those criteria (except I don't have a decent paying job and I live in England) but I'll tell you... I would love that apartment.

    Good luck.

  2. Such a nice looking place! Did you inherit Tuffy??

  3. Peggy, I brought Tuffy over yesterday to see how he got along with the two dogs. He and Chandler are already friends, and were fine. Bette attacked him. If she were seventy pounds heavier Tuffy would be dead. Honestly, she went all out with teeth bared. She was the Tasmanian Devil dog. I had to pull her off his back before she broke the skin. Tuffy just laid there and took it. I don't think I can take him in.

  4. That's a serious bummer about Tuffy. I sure hope he gets a home. I saw on the news that the "Humans of New York" blog has an internet campaign for older dogs looking for homes. Maybe Tuffy's owners could set up something thru that to get good exposure.
