Ugh, Mrs. Porktura, I'm sick of your crap
My landlady is being a real brat. Her name is actually Mrs. Ventura, but Allison and I like to call everyone some kind of variation of pork, so Porktura it is. (A side note on that, Nabil's last name is Bachounda but Allison and I call him Nabil Porkshounda and laugh at ourselves every single time. It's more funny if you knew him because he is 6 feet tall and weighs approximately 95 pounds.)
Anyway, Porktura found out Allison was staying with me and jacked my rent up by $100 a month for no reason (I pay my own utilities) so now my rent is really high, considering the location, which is nowhere near a metro stop. And she holds the only key to the stupid storage room and is never in the office so whenever I need something out of there it's like a 4 day expedition trying to track her down. Then of course she wants the key back immediately so you better not forget anything.
However, today's gripe is about the bathtub. It hasn't drained a drop since last night and is so slimy and nasty. Allison had to take a shower in it today and it was my slimy filth. Yuck, that is making my scalp tingle to just think of it. So I called Porktura and she's like, "I'll try to get the handyman in there on Monday." Dude, it is THURSDAY, you expect us to go all weekend showering in each other's filth? UGH.

maybe you should look into the renter laws there and see what you can do about that. what does your lease say about hiking up the rent??? if theres no clause i dont think you have to obide by it-check!
"welcome to arlington" The only place where you can live in a half a million dollar slum house
Read your lease, if she changes your rent she's probably broken it, unless you are month to month.
D'oh - i messed up my name!
One time when my tub wasn't draining I bought this really heavy duty drain opener that was guaranteed to work - and it did!
I know a plumber who would be happy for an excuse to come visit you.
Porkscar! That's gonna stick, you know.
Anyway, Porktura just called me and said she called a plumber and I'M going to have to pay the bill AND that she's sending over an addendum to my lease that both my sister and I have to sign. I do not trust this woman.
if you pay, you have to take if off the rent!! you need to M O V E .
Mrs. Buntz is a lawyer and she says this is I.L.L.E.G.A.L.
No kidding Buntz, you snagged a lawyer? Wow, I'm impressed. Ginger don't sign anything. I think your friends are right. K, talk to you tomorrow.
Glad to know an Anonymous person is impressed with me.
When I snagged her, she was a college student
Buntz, thank you so much for asking your wife! Last night I was just at my wits' end thinking about it, I really feel like she's trying to take advantage of me. When it arrives in the mail, I'll post it on here and you can all weigh in on whether or not I should sign it.
She said it all depends on wha t your original lease said.
IF you signed a lease saying you would be the only person living there at X dollars, then she has a right to change the lease since you were in voilation.
If it says "I can raise or lower your rent at any time" and you signed it, again, she's doing nothing wrong.
All depends (this is all from Mrs. Buntz, by the way)
Wow, ginger is having rental problems. She is getting into trouble with her lease and the person living with her. Who would have thought.

Hey Ginger, you said you would post the "porktura"--that's the wonderful and endearing name you invented for you landlord right (wonder if she googled your name yet and reads your blog) lease change when you got it. It's too bad about all that bad luck. Dude I hope "Porktura" doesn't read your blog.
