I'm not really looking to invest, but I want an apartment
to live in, and I'm not happy with the leases I'm encountering

2009/3/17-23 [Reference/Law/Court, Reference/RealEstate] UID:52724 Activity:moderate | 3/17 I posted on 2/10 about a landlord that stiffed me $600 on
my deposit. I wrote him a "strongly worded letter" and followed it up

portion of the bonus that pushes you over, for individuals, total AGI
> $125K ($250K married) working at an entity which took >= $5B in TARP
