He wanted to know if we had any houses for rent. I reminded him about the qualifications for non-married room mate situations and asked him if was getting married. Normally this is none of my business but for the sake of the conversation reviewing our rental qualifications I needed to ask. In the past, if a couple is engaged and has applied for a marriage license with a tentative date we\u2019ve counted them as a married couple combining their incomes to satisfy our qualifications.   <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:bold\">His reply to my question is worthy of note: I asked \u201care you getting married?\u201d and he replied \u201cNo. I don\u2019t have to.

In what bass ackward world is this thinking logical? I can tell you exactly what will happen to this couple\u2026 in four months she will be pregnant and he will be calling to ask me how he can get signed off the lease.  <\/p>\n<p>I would like to take a moment here and thank feminism for destroying the courtship process.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/18613340-3359103656767593279?l=thecrescat.blogspot.com\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2026 Today at work one of our long time residents called to tell me he was moving in with his girlfriend and needed to vacate his current apartment.
