Scotch and Water-Damaged Floors

By Mark Phillips, 9-25-06

Boulder landlord Doug Roberts recieved a comical apology last month after a hellish year with Colin and his roomates. The letter (see the larger photo below the fold) chronicles a year worth of waste, damage, depravity, general bad sense, and-I hate to admit it-extreme amounts of fun. As a consolation, his "favorite tenants" offered Doug the letter and a $30 bottle of Scotch to ease his pain. With a year's worth of late rent, over $3500 in major repairs, several parties attended by over 100 partygoers, cars parked on the lawn, a flaming couch on the roof, and a beer bottle dropped down a broken sewer vent which flooded the basement with sewage, Doug admitted to chuckling when he found the letter. "And you know," he continued, "the Scotch wasn't bad." [End of article]
