That's a jerk of a landlord. Think he was scared of the kid?
I do like the complex we're at now— we were on a six-month lease, and at the end of it the lease goes as a month-to-month thing. The company figures that if you're reliable enough to be good for six months, they don't have to lock you in thereafter. That's a good thing since there are a number of families in the complex and every so often, somebody has to move with little warning (and if we find a good house to rent, we'll do the same thing. Unfortunately, everyone in the area is trying to make up their mortgage so house rentals are WAY out of line.)
