This person rented a house from someone wearing a fedora. That should’ve been a BIG RED FLAG right away!

We were so rushed to find a rental house in this crazy Portland market that $1200 for a 2 bedroom house in SE sounded pretty great. We gave you money, signed the “lease” you wrote yourself and got some keys. This was all before we even got to see the house, trusting that everything was up to code and the house was in good shape.

It was not.

Best part about the rental, we got to fix all the things that were wrong with your house because you’re so considerate and made our rent really “cheap”. We re-caulked all the single-pained windows, and tried to figure out how to insulate a old non-insulated home. Burning it down would of helped.

Oh, but the fedora-wearing landlord didn’t stop there! READ THE REST HERE. And while you’re there, drop off your own rant, confession, or fedora-wearing landlord admonition in the I, Anonymous Blog—which is a great place to live! (If you don’t mind cockroaches.)

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)
