Hm. Wonder which city it is...<_<

Set out a bunch of the balloons, and when the inspector asks you about them, tell him they are mouse traps.  He won't question you, he'll just go "what the fuck" and move on with his business.

Meh, my apartment usually has inspections twice a year. Once in the spring to make sure there hasn't been any damage to the walls and windows from winter cold and settling. Once in the fall to make sure the windows especially can be closed properly to keep from causing blown pipes in the winter. They will usually give a week's notice [state law states they have to give at least a full 24 hours notice but a full week ensures no one can miss the signs] so people have time to write up any apartment repair issues they have for the inspectors to take. Between all the weird collectible nerd crap, an attack cat, and a human skull sitting on the DVD shelving, they kinda leave me alone for the most part. I think the last time they came through, there were latex prosthetics and reptile face molds all over the kitchen counters.

All they did was check the smoke detectors. I wish the notice hadn't lied. It said it was gonna be a full inspection. I moved a bunch of crap around and corralled all my balloons in the corner for nothing. >.< Next time they do an inspection, you should totally leave out the prosthetics and reptile faces, then add a whip or a flogger and a ballgag nearby.

There's a leather flog in the cat toy basket [all those leather bits make perfect teething toys for little kittens, the more you know ] and I have one of my cat suits hanging up on the bedroom door for lack of a better place to hang it and there's the bullwhip on one of the bedroom shelves right by the GameCube. The row of Tentacle Kitties perched on the head board is just icing on the cake. 1

Gyaos Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) My yearly inspection was done a week ago. My landlord gave me a thumbs up. My neighbors got the boot. In another thread, I mentioned my apartment had a mouse. It wasn't because of me, but apparently because my neighbors refused to clean up after themselves. Every time I walked by their fucking door, I smelled garbage. Not any more, though. Edited March 31, 2018 by Gyaos

They made the lobby area of the apartment building smell like rancid trash, and they gave everyone nearby bug problems (The bugs would literally crawl out from under their door and invade other peoples' apartments). Everyone was relieved when they were finally booted. 1
