Roscoe's Revenge

We had a bed bug crisis in my apartment building last year. I was impressed that the apartment management rose so quickly to the crisis and utilized the services of a professional bed bug service. The service employed a bed bug sniffing beagle named Roscoe who quickly sussed out problem areas that were immediately treated. In a course of a few months, the building was deemed clean. Thank you, intrepid Roscoe, for your skills in helping a 222 unit building eradicate this crisis.

Roscoe had his revenge today.

A note was slid under my apartment door from the building Board of Directors. Apparently, the cost to resolve this problem was nearly $80K and our current maintenance payments aren't exactly going to cover it. The Board had apparently voted to impose an easement for three months to all tenants to cover this incremental cost. So, hello, please add an additional $800 a month to your current maintenance to cover our costs and with our thanks.

If I get so much as an ankle itch in the next weeks, there will be hell to pay.
