Wow, for this being a “friendly” athiest’s blog, there sure are a lot of UNfriendly ones here. I think it’s pretty clear this is a joke, ya’ll. It starts off sounding quasi normal then builds to a frenzy and you realize he’s describing a detention center. The line about not understanding why it’s been taken down was the sarcasm icing on the cake. Those who jumped to the conclusion that this is a legit religious wacko either have no sense of humor, or are just looking for some group to hate on. Lighten up, friends.

OH hahaha, okay I read the rest of it, it’s OBVIOUSLY a joke. Lights all turn on at 5:30am? You’re required to wear a wristband with your photo on it at all times? “No alternative lifestyles”? Hahhahahah wow

I’m currently rental-hunting in Vancouver. I’ve also lived here all my life, and I can tell you that the price says it all: $480 a month for a place at Broadway & Commercial.. That’s a SCAM! Write to them and I bet you’ll receive an automated response about this guy moving to Africa for missionary work, and asking for sensitive, personal details.

These are my favourite sections!

WAKE-UP: Wake up will be at 5:30am each morning. All ceiling lights in
the suite will be turned on automatically.
LIGHTS OUT: Ceiling lights in the suite will be turned off at 11:30pm.

INSPECTIONS: The Landlord will conduct unannounced inspections to ensure
that these rules and regulations are being followed.

(I’m so glad I’m in australia. This is illegal here!)

VISITATION: Visitation periods will be on Saturdays and Sundays from
1:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m. All visitors and their vehicles are subject
to search while on landlord property. Refusal to allow a search can
result in their being barred from all future visitation privileges. All
visitors must sign the Visitor’s Log. Unauthorized visitors will be
escorted from the property, and the tenant will be fined $250.00.

I.D. BRACELETS: Each tenant will be issued an I.D. bracelet with his/her
photograph. It must be worn at all times. If you lose your I.D.
bracelet or it is broken, you will be required to purchase a new one at
the nominal cost of $5.00.
EXERCISE YARD: The tenant will have access to the exercise yard in the
area to the back of the property for 2 hours per day from 4:00 pm to
6:00 pm. The tenant is not allowed to bring any personal property to
the exercise yard. Once the tenant leaves the exercise yard on a
particular day, he or she may not return. No boisterous behavior is
allowed in the exercise yard. There is no smoking allowed in the
exercise yard. Minimum fine for exercise yard infractions is $50.00.

Sounds like a prison! I certainly wouldn’t be caught paying that much a month for THIS

Most basement apartments are illegal anyway. These people don’t give a frick what the law is, they are sure they “answer to a higher authority.”

Wow. That’s so illegal it’s not even funny >_>

But, it doesn’t matter. Obviously this is a joke.

Seriously, though, when I was an Orthodox Jewish college student and lived in the frum parts of Brooklyn, a typical basement apartment landlord behaved about 80% of the way up this loony scale.
