Damn woman....
It's that time again...my tenant has been lurned away by his involvement with a woman! The apartment just isn't big enough for cohabitation..they always move out when he/she wants to become a they. Rats.
Coincidentally, last evening someone stopped by in answer to an ad in the Free Press from someone looking for a roommate...the house he was looking for was further up the street. However, at first glance this would appear to be beneficial to all. He would rather have a place of his own...he is a transplant from Germany working for a Canadian firm up the interstate..no girlfriend as yet. My tenant won't be leaving until May...this prospective tenant has a paid hotel room from his company for 3 months......sounds like a match ..right?
Hold on big fella...first of all...why on earth would anyone drive into our driveway in the dark looking for an address that is 7 houses further down the street? Then when no one answered the door (we have no doorbell and we are watching TV in the livingroom) he proceeded to wander along the side of the house and tap on the window in the living room. Let me tell you I was less than thrilled to figure out someone was actually tapping on the window out there in the dark..." Is someone tapping ont he window? ...ummm Greg..I hear tapping...is someone tapping on the window? GREG! Go look and see if someone is out there!!!" " yup..there is someone out there..." Now there's an understatement...I was about to stroke out as it was...I can't imagine what I would have done if I had been alone...yes I do..."Hello, 911?"
This is hardly the good old American Welcome mat but on the other hand, do I really need to rent to someone who would do something like that??? Noooooooooooooooooooo, I don't think so.

Maybe that's a common thing in Germany?
But still, I'd be a tad freaked as welL!

I would be very cautious with the guy. Is it common for a person to tap windows if answering the door doesn't work?
