have you done White Collar?

I have not! I actually only know about that one peripherally, but it does look good! I will add it to my to-watch list!

Try the librarians? Another Dean Devlin project that's funny and cheesy.

That’s got Christian Kane again too, right? I remember when that one first aired, there was a lot of buzz around the library school about it! I’ll check it out!

AFAIK most of the time they can only confirm that you a) lived there and b) weren’t evicted so I don’t think a lot of places bother if your other stuff comes back ok. We had to do personal references instead, here.

That would make sense. The applications usually have personal reference sections too, but I don’t know if they actually contact the people or not.

I mean, because everybody’s been telling searchers to apply if they’re even kinda close? But I can imagine it also being very tedious from the other side too.

Yeah, that is the kind of well-meaning advice that makes me want to tear my hair out because it is wrong in like 99.9% of all cases. In case the reasons why for this are not self-evident I can expand on them.

I would also have included “All private guided tours carry a fee of [$$]” to be clear that the offer of a bribe was ridiculously ineffective.

Yeah, I usually include the guided tour fees when I respond to tour requests, but typically once you let someone know that there’s a minimum limit on the amount of people required for a tour they back off, so I don’t always include it when I know that there aren’t going to be enough people. Maybe I should start...

I know certain segments of Pinterest love to insist it’s legal to rip music out of YouTube videos using third-party plug-ins, so I think that’s possible, but I don’t know about pulling whole videos and then burning them to be readable by a DVD pl. =/

Yeah, I know there are ways to get the music off of a YouTube video, and I’m sure that there are ways of getting videos off too, I just don’t know how she would go about doing it! I feel like it would involve downloading some stuff to her computer that she probably doesn’t want on there. She’ll survive without it, she wants to show a clip in a class she’s teaching at her church, but they don’t have a computer hookup because it’s not a real classroom. It seems like a lot of work for a short clip that she probably doesn’t need to begin with.

One of those times I’m so glad LLs in Toronto are really restricted on what they can charge. No security deposits, no app fees. First & last is all they can ask for up-front or really ever.

That would be so nice! I get the whole security deposit thing, and you (usually) get that all back after you move out, but it’s definitely a strain when you’re first paying and you have to pay essentially 3 months worth of rent at once! In Boston there was also a realtor fee equal to one month’s rent if you found a place through a realtor, which was ridiculous and why the Craigslist apartment scene is so popular up there. I don’t think DC has that, but they get you in other ways!

I feel like the rental market everywhere is just insane.
