doesnt matter if there are rumors or not.  Its as much your business as it is our business how many you can afford to buy from him.

Im not trying to be a dick here, but this is a real issue in these conversations.  People seem to think that they are entitled to anything and everything.  Not you personally, but the conversation makes me crazy.

Its none of our business.

Not mine, not yours.

You are asking him what is basically a financial question, without wanting to answer one yourself.

At the risk of sounding dumb, I thought landlords could have additional tax burden on leases of less than 12 months. Anyone have the answer?

How many houses has the community been told we rent out, Dan?  From some of the e-mails Louise sent out, you would think we already have one per block.

Answer my question and I'll answer yours....call Louise if you need to....

The community has not been given any number. We all have had experiences with rooming/boarding/halfway houses that are not licensed as, but operate as such. There are two on Silver within two blocks of my home. Strider, why do you continue to make it all about you when it's not. The way you get defensive anytime the subject is brought up would make people think you own them all.

I guess no one knows about the tax on leases of less than 12 months?

Dan, PM me and I'll take you on a tour.  Then, you can buy me a cup of coffee. And a piece of cake.

Hmmm. Lisa, if that is true, can you explain why my name is on virtually every e-mail that Louise sent out about this issue? Louise seems to have made me her sacrifical goat....

Lisa, I believe it is a little more complicated.  Apartment complexes occasionally write leases for as little as 3 months, but you need to be careful as you can get caught up in the transient rental thing.  Six months is often the minimum I have seen.  Six months keeps you out of trouble - offered for rent less that three times a year, not transient, ETC.  It is intent as much as anything.  The state actually says that after 3 months, even with an “extended stay or rooming house” you can stop charging the transient room tax as the renter is no longer considered transient at that point.  At least it was that way as of last year.  In the chase for tax dollars, who knows today.

And I keep hearing this conflicting information about a list, then no list then a list and......Odd, actually.

No, that'd be her check-writing-developer-friend. And you can tell the difference, because yours are still standing.

I liked this so much, it deserved another 'round. Can you post the rest of this, Chris?

Sure thing:

Quote
1. Use Indian or Ceylonese tea

2. Brew tea in a china (ceramic) or earthenware pot

3. Warm the pot before adding the loose-leaf tea

4. Use strong tea

5. Place loose-leaf tea directly into the pot without a strainer, muslin bag, or other device to 'imprison the tea.' Take the teapot to the kettle to pour water that should be boiling

6. Stir or shake the pot

7. Drink the tea out of a cylindrical cup

8. Decant any cream off of the fresh milk before using

9. Pour tea into the cup, then pour in the milk

10. Drink tea without sugar

And it's a shame he stopped at 1984. The 21st century is really so much more horrifying.

I'll take the tour. I'm tired of the hearsay. I don't know about the coffe or cake though, haven't you heard I'm cheap and on a diet!

You can have the tour, but it will cost you cake.  PM me and we'll make arrangements.
