first, $20 extra month for cat, thats just strange. second

Posted by tRuMaN (aka Truman) Feb 18 '09, 06:47

its a premium of around $100 to live within 5-10 mins of my work.

The cat smell stays when the tenant leave and us landlords have to get rid of it somehow. That costs money. -- nm - lileve Feb 18, 07:09
Back when I rented I think it was $25 a month, plus a $250 deposit. *NM* - Ender Feb 18, 06:54
very common here and usually more than that - plus an extra deposit (as a pet fee) -- nm - decline Feb 18, 06:50 11
- yeah, there is any additional deposit amount, usually which only 1/2 is refundable. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 18, 06:51 10
  - what, you don't get your whole deposit back? that's crap (and, not a deposit.) -- nm - Andie Feb 18, 06:52
  - look at it this way, when you move out they have to replace the carpet because of dander. - loosilu Feb 18, 06:52 8
    - which is one reason I'm glad I have hardwood floors. -- nm - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 18, 06:52 7
      - see that is the thing, I think one of them is hardwood floors. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 18, 06:56 6
        
        I lost part of a deposit because my cat scratched the walls and ripped the wallpaper. - kelly Feb 18, 06:58 3
        
        ze cat has no front clawz. ze cat better not be scratching things. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 18, 06:59 1
        
        This was actually what led to my cat losing his front claws. :) - kelly Feb 18, 07:01
        
        some cats scratch up doors pretty bad. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 06:59
        
        kitty rent is normal. suck it up. :) -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 06:56 1
        
        stupid cat, costing me more money. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 18, 06:57
Only $20 extra? Wow, that's not bad at all. -- nm - kelly Feb 18, 06:49
i'd pay $100 more a month to live close to work. you save gas, and *time*. your time has value. -- nm - Andie Feb 18, 06:48 19
- I wouldn't mind living closer to work, but I certainly wouldn't want to live close to where my work is located. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 18, 06:51 2
  - the two places I need to go visit are about 5 mins away - tRuMaN Feb 18, 06:53
  - I live next door to our headquarters, and so do dozens of my cow orkers, and it's 100% awesome. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 06:52
- Housing close to work is often priced at a premium to being with though, so an extra $100 is kinda insulting. -- nm - ty97 Feb 18, 06:49 6
  - well, its close to downtown kc, so that is the premium over places further out. - tRuMaN Feb 18, 06:50
  - what do you mean? it's not like they said "oh, your office is close by? that's an extra $100!" -- nm - Andie Feb 18, 06:50 3
    - (I misread) - ty97 Feb 18, 06:52 2
      - you need to wake up or something. - tRuMaN Feb 18, 06:56
      - ahhh! :) -- nm - Andie Feb 18, 06:55
  - $100 is nothing around here. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 06:50
- and I bet he'd save more than $100 in gas alone. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 06:49 8
  - probably around $100 to $150 - tRuMaN Feb 18, 06:50 7
    - plus you have two new hours per day. there's no issue. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 06:50 6
      - true true. - tRuMaN Feb 18, 06:51 5
        
        but you just said you'd save it in gas. it's NOT more expensive. -- nm - Andie Feb 18, 06:53 3
        
        Plus you can go home for nooners! -- nm - oblique, better than nubby Feb 18, 06:54 2
        
        umm, sure kilbo (backs away slowly). -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 18, 06:57
        
        when I worked at HQ I walked hom for lunch every day. another savings. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 06:54
        
        sounds like there's a higher cost to living farther. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 06:52
not strange, a cat messes up the apartment. it's standard in this area. often $50 a month. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 06:47
