The Landlord's Battle with ADDICTS!!!!

I never thought I would get the third degree over the alcohol problem that struggled with 40 years ago.

I was looking for a place to rent until I can build my own tiny dome house. I answered an ad and mention that I worked at the local women's transitional house.

Are you an ADDICT!!! He demanded to know. Actually, I am an alcoholic but non practicing. Frequently but not always recovered addicts work at Transitional Houses. We agreed to an appointment.

The first thing he asked as I walked in the door, "Have you ever relapsed?" Absolutely, 38 years ago.

"Do You have a Criminal Record?" My 1982 Disturbing the Peace Conviction, I confessed.

That must have been a protest? No I was an exotic dancer. Oh That's Cool," he replies""

He advised me that he was a Prosecuting Attorney and he put Addicts in Jail. I told him that I get them out of jail and try to keep them out of jail

He said that he doesn't have trouble with any of the other apartment with drug and alcohol users except the one that I was looking to rent.

That will be the least of his problems with me as a tenant

Nevertheless I did have to Sage the place out to get rid of previous tenant cooties.

I hope he doesn't think the Sage is something illegal and freaks when he sees the dancing pole in my living room.
