if I had a nickel…
for every time we’ve been given a notice stating that there’d be an apartment inspection, I’d be rich – kinda. I’m so tired of these inspections, We get a week’s notice, typically – sometimes less, although the notice is always dated a week before. Sometimes they’ll be coming to every apartment – other times, just “some”. So you never know when they’re gonna show up at your place, so you have to go through this checklist of stuff that they’re looking for. Some of the things are pretty easy, basic – is your smoke detector chirping because the battery’s dying? Is there anything broken? Etc. etc. Oh – and you have to get rid of all clutter.
Clutter.
That’s like saying ‘getting rid of your kids’. When you have kids – in my case, 3 kids – you have clutter. You have toys, you have clothes, books, toys, clothes, books, drawings, small woodland creatures – E V E R Y W H E R E. We could clean for 7 days straight, 20 hours a day, we’d still have those things. In fact, the notice says, “including clothes”. So my friend Christine remarked, “well when they show up for the inspection, have your kids running around naked”. LOL
Clutter. Just in my room, there’s bank statements that need to be shredded, but of course, I can never shred because the noise attracts those small woodland creatures. and Zachary.
Toys – books – diapers – paper paper paper. Clothes.
Sure people, we’ll get rid of the clutter. When We Are Abducted By Aliens! no, huh?
