In the middle
Posted by Clifford under Housing
In the middle of all this, an email floated into my box.
The front house tenants decided to squeal on the back tenant.
"You know someone moved in, right?"
In my conversation with the back tenant, he took it upon himself to find a roommate. But not just any roommate . . .
An actress.
Um . . . ok . . .
But he personally vouches for her. After knowing her for three days, he has determined she’s a good person. And her child. And her dog.
Four people, sharing a two bedroom teenie, tiny house with one walk-in closet . . .
But I guess it’s alright. After all, if the acting career doesn’t take off she has other talents. Like her budding singing career . . .
ohmigod.
Aren’t people interesting? When you are a landlord, you meet all kinds.. I would get this person’s name on the lease so that she is also liable for rent if no one pays. I had a similar situation in a property I just bought – I found out there were two other people living there who were not on the lease.
Shaun, that’s exactly what I intend to do. She is filling out an application and she is on the lease.
To be honest, if he decides to have a roommate then that is his option. For the rent, he has been told that I only want ONE check. Not two. That is his responsibility.
