can see Snappy sprinkling glitter all over the dude’s bleeding wounds and trash talking him “this is so you’ll remember me and other know that you guy whooped by a glitter princess – ie have fun in jail”
hear ya (awesome that you’d eat the cost rather than make them pay) – but oftentimes douchebagginess doesn’t show up on background checks.
True, but if they get past the usual employment, credit, criminal, last three landlords check…..and I meet them…..then that is what I pick up. I have a pretty good sense of douchibagginess.
I am really proud of my relationship with the two different tenants. I told them basically — this is how I live. This is an old brownstone. I take good care of it. I’ll take good care of your apartment. I want you to be warm, comfortable, happy here. I want good vibes because this is where I live. I won’t bother you at all. You tell me if anything leaks or sparks, if wildlife gets in, or if you have any problems and I will take care of it right away. You don’t put stuff in the hall and pay me on the 1st. Everybody is happy.
M4L – I did not use the lawyer court route. My method has not been mentioned on the board, but it was effective. Three months back rent paid within 4 hours of my conversation with the tenant. I had the conversation without back-up.
Ha!
I would never waste my precious glitter on a would-be burglar. But I will sacrifice my wok upside his cabesa.
“Shall we hit up the Today Show first? LOLâ€
For sure. We’ll have that lock jawed Jenna Bush Hager do the interview.
“You don’t put stuff in the hall and pay me on the 1st. Everybody is happy.”

Blackmail?
Knife to the throat?
Dead fish on the doorstep?
A kneecap breaking visit by Vinnie “The Enforcer”?
Kidnapping of the pets/children?
