So tell me again why we're standing outside. I wanna watch American Idol.
Remember when we told that colored guy who asked about the "For Rent" sign out front that "it would be a cold day in hell before we rent to black people?" He filed a HUD Complaint against us.
Yeah, so?
Well, HUD has a rule that states if the Respondent cannot be located within ten minutes after a Complaint is handed to the investigator, the Complaint must be dismissed.
But our apartment building is right over there, and the HUD office is across the street.
That's OK, they don't look too hard. Besides, the ten-minute time limit usually expires before the investigator can figure out how to hole-punch the Complaint.
