Surprise inspections?

That’s harsh.

That’s illegal in Canada.

This is some funny stuff! I laughed so hard it woke up the cockroaches who then wanted to see what was so damned funny on the webs. They, like Kevin and Nick made an unamused, pursed-lip, Auntie Em face and went back to snoozin’.

Surprise inspections in Australia?

G’day MJ,

Not in my section of Australia – VIC & NSW – they have to give *at least* 24 hrs notice – all the inspections I’ve had I’ve been given two week notice.

Wow, what an idiot.

It’s fairly standard as part of rental agreements in Australia for there to be surprise inspections, unfortunately.

There is never a nice thing to say about real estate agents. The one that we’re with, Nelson Alexander, are completely useless.

YOU READ THAT, GUYS? YOU’RE USELESS.

Flux, how can you call that a sweet deal? Is apartment inspection a common thing? Does this happen to anyone else?

I have never had my apartment inspected, ever, unless I have specifically asked for something to be done; ie: replace floor tiles.

I think Peter should clean the apartment to standard and then hang giant posters of the most extreme porn he can find. That’ll keep David from coming back.

Flux – it only takes you 24 hours to hide your bodies? What’s your secret?

I have a sweet deal with my landlord. Inspections are given 24 hour notice. Plenty of time to wash dirty dishes and do some laundry, hide bodies… whatever. Yay!

It’s too bad Peter didn’t have a sense of humour, that would have made this more amusing. I have a grudge against little men with Little Man Complexes, so… screw him, he needs to lighten up. HeeHeeHilarious!

I think we all need to remember that he is first and foremost, a writer.

David’s a bully, plain and simple. He didn’t HAVE to sign the lease.

I think the exchange is funny, but it confounds me that the manager is being made out as the villain. Yes, the inspections sound extreme, but you have to live with the conditions of the lease you sign. This guy was clearly just being mean and I’m not sure I understand why we encourage him.

This guy is definatly good at getting people to talk about the things that they dont wanna talk about. He kept on explaining the same thing no matter what the person on the other end said. I like the spider one too.

well… i dont think that was funny at all because the landlord wasn’t participating. it was just more of that one guy being a douche, to be honest, in my humble opinion.

^Peter, is that you?

that guy is such an asshole, I think, unless the responses are fake, that he’ll be homeless.
