Rent Rant

/rant on

Sometimes renting is great. When the air conditioning springs a leak, and it costs $300 to fix it, you call the warranty people and they take care of it. That's awesome.

Sometimes renting sucks pygmy marmoset balls. Sure, their tiny and they get stuck in your teeth, but that's the point. It not only sucks, it is annoying as feck.


I mentioned previously that we were being kicked to the curb by our current landlords. It's cool. They have been really good to us for almost two years. And they must have their reasons for needing to sell. But does that mean that when the electricity goes out in half the house and Loving Wife has to blow dry her hair in our son's bedroom because their is no power in either bathroom, that they will find every way possible NOT to fix the issue? Why yes it does, AA, yes it does!

The wiring isn't covered under the warranty. Not our fault. Fix it. Your house. You get the right to kick me the curb, I get the right to say fix the damn power so my son can use his waterpik. He's got braces you know! (Okay, not any more, but that's not the point!)

We are going on week three of not having power in a bunch of outlets and all the garage (no garage door opener -- guess what! No handle on the outside of the garage!). Now, because of the holiday, we have to wait until Monday. Oooh goodie, five more days of running the extension cord across the house so we can use the dryer.

Aspiring Author isn't happy. Feck it. We are moving out early and they can dine on pygmy marmoset balls all they want.
