After the Travis Heaton bad check fiasco when we rented our house for Derby last year we weren’t sure we’d try again. But I see airplane tickets where there are dollar signs so when the RentMyHouse4Derby people contacted me with an offer to handle all the financial arrangements (in exchange for a steep commission), I saw two tickets to Bucharest next fall. We signed up.
Their description of my house cracks me up. They say cottage so many times they may as well just put in 24 point font: This is an itty bitty house!
Let’s cross our fingers that someone even worse than Mr. Heaton and Ms. Condrat don’t rent it this time. Plenty of things could be worse than a bad check — thieves, arsonists or identity-stealers to name a few. Now I’m going to make myself paranoid. I must go back to thinking about those plane tickets.
