The pet bribes are a real swindle. Bill the Son had to pay $450 for his free cat to live in his new apartment.
He finally gave us his address.
I guess I was lucky when my kids moved into their own apartment after they got out of the military. They were very good about giving me their addresses.
But yes, the pet “deposits” are probably extortion, if I can use the word. I mean, if you’re not a good pet parent, then the pets will show it, and I think that should be the main criteria in whether or not to charge a fee. But it would seem that a security/cleaning deposit would take care of that instead of charging a king’s ransom for a pet.
Management knows what our income is — its LOW! So why do they think we can afford such blackmail?
