Be careful when you rent apartments
Posted by Ranjan Gunawardana on 8/24/2005

A businessman meets a beautiful girl and agrees to spend the night with her for $500.Before he leaves, he tells her that he does not have any cash with him, but he will have his secretary write a check and mail it to her, calling the payment 'RENT FOR APARTMENT.'

On the way to the office he regrets what he has done, realizing that the whole event was not worth the price. So he has his secretary send a check for $250 and enclosed the following typed note:

Dear Madam:
Enclosed you will find a check for $250 for rent of your apartment.
I am not sending the amount agreed upon, because when I rented the apartment, I was under the impression that;
1) it had never been occupied
2) that there was plenty of heat;
3) that it was small enough to make me feel cozy and at home.
However, I found out that it had been previously occupied, that there was not any heat, and that it was entirely too large.
Upon receipt of the note, the girl immediately returned the check for $250 with the following note:

Dear Sir:
Firstly, I cannot understand how you expect a beautiful apartment to remain unoccupied indefinitely. As for the heat, there is plenty of it, if you know how to turn it on.
Regarding the space, the apartment is indeed of regular size, but if you do not have enough furniture to fill it, please do not blame the landlady. Send the rent in full or we will be forced to contact your present landlady!
