We clearly need to lighten up this board today. And my Catholic roots often bring me to confession.
The last time I rented was in 2006. I had been in this ghetto house in the Houston Heights for 3 years and had a new landlord. I knew he wanted us out so he could tear it down and build his own, and we were building a house outside of the Beltway.
So he comes in to look at the house and the first thing he wanted to talk about was the $1k deposit and how I probably wasnt getting it back because of the damage my dog had done to the yard and the fence. Fair enough I said.
He then saw the carpet and wasnt impressed. But it was the freezer that got the most attention.
Landlord 'Agsalaska, whats wrong with the freezer?'
Agsalaska 'what are you talking about. Freezer works good'
Landlord 'It looks like someone may have shot it with a shotgun'
Agsalaska, 'Does it?'
Landlord 'What are all of those little holes in it'
Agsalaska 'Not sure' I then proceeded to open the freezer and put ice in a glass. 'See, works just fine'
He was not impressed. He tried to get more money out of me but I told him to sue me. It was a short conversation. I moved a month later and never heard from him. I am guessing he figured someone who would shoot his freezer, with a Mossberg 18 inch 20 gauge,' wasn't worth chasing down.
