Contracts and Coats (2/7)

Whitney quickly found Elizabeth and Adele in the coffeeshop. Whitney read through the provisions in the renter's agreement, taking her time to scroll through the agreement on Adele's notepad.

Adele: "As you'll see, this is a standard renter's agreement for six months. Elizabeth as the landlord reserves the right to inspect the property, and --"

 

Whitney: "I don't see anything about adding a wall so cars don't drive through my living room or a railing so I don't fall out of my bed. Either I wait to sign the agreement until these items are addressed, or the rent is too expensive."

 

Elizabeth was visibly getting irritated: "I said Bobby and his crew will inspect the property and repair any safety hazards for you."

 

Whitney: "Including adding a wall so Don Buzzle doesn't mow us down with his car in our own living room?"

 

Elizabeth: [sternly] "Of course."

 

Whitney: "Great! Just notify me when the lease is ready to be signed. I'm now going to go tell my cousin the good news. We're moving!"

 

Whitney left.....

Elizabeth: "This is going to be a nightmare, isn't it?"

 

Adele: "Being a landlord isn't for everyone. Are you sure you wouldn't rather just sell her the property?"

 

Elizabeth:"No, that's not an option. That's my home."

 

Adele excuses herself to begin amending the lease, remarking to herself, great -- stubborn client, stubborn renter.
