One Rental At A Time Novels & Stories

Elena I looked around the rental apartment within walking distance of the campus. It was a three-bedroom unit with a final-year student already occupying the other rooms. I wanted to opt for an on-campus accommodation, but currently, there are no rooms available. “I’ll take it. When can I move in?” Mr. Gates, the landlord, smiled with relief. “Right away if you pay the rent and security deposit.” So, we completed the formalities, and I was ready to move in.

I'll be putting everything aside to go see Wale and right now, if he shuts me out, I don’t know what will become of me. I nod at Tessy as I leave her office. I wait at the gate for a taxi, and as soon as one stop by I quickly rush into it. I have never considered entering a taxi before not when I’m aware of how much it cost, I’ll rather take a bus. But, there are days when we have to make exceptions and today happen to be one of those days. Thank God for Uber.

DAMON No one knew we had gotten into town. We had expected to arrive earlier but car troubles had other things in mind. “Why the f*ck should a rental have any issue? That's f*cking annoying, I should sue their f*cking asses!” Mason ranted.

Chapter 9 “There’s the car rental place the guy told me about. Let’s see what they have to rent.” The car rental man saw them coming in, they were a mess. He stared at them and reluctantly asks, “What can I do for you?” “We are looking for a luxury car.” His stare got intense, like he was wasting his time talking to them. Quite rudely he informs them. “There is an SUV available and a Mercedes.” “Give me the SUV. I need something with leg room.”

Damn, I have to come up with some rules. "Yeah, sure." He shrugs, acting as if my fine lines are nothing. "Rule one," he reads aloud as he writes. "Don't fall in love with me." I snort. "I don't think that will be a problem." Love, what a stupid notion. "Yeah, that's what they all say," he replies seriously. I give him a double take. All? He really is an asshole. "No sleeping in the same bed," I point at him. He reluctantly writes it down.

"That sounds ridiculous. Four month’s worth of rent payments as a lump sum? This building only requires two! And how could it possibly take five hundred dollars to clean such a tiny unit?" "I heard it's to target alphas. The theory is that alphas tend to make more money, and would be willing to pay it if they happened to be mated with one of the tenants. It's a shitty practice, but the building's security is top-notch, and at the time, that's what I needed. And apparently they do some kind of special cleaning that gets rid of all the pheromones from the previous tenant." "When's your lease up?" "December..." Rayan yawned.

It must be said that a lot of the unscrupulous people who walked the gray areas of the law were indeed very street-smart. They didn't dare to risk their lives fighting mechanical creatures, but they could make good money by renting out mechs. While they wouldn't be living in luxury, they'd certainly have enough to stay above the poverty line with some leftovers. "How does renting work?" Victor asked with great interest. "Since you're a familiar face, I'll give you a good rate. If you pay a deposit of 30 Ordinary Source Crystals, I'll rent you a four-meter lightweight mech, ranged. It'll keep you safe. I definitely offer the best rates around here. The rental period is seven days, and the ren

Janiya insisted, voice trembling. "Yes, you rent already, for one year. Now you must sign the lease." "I need to see it first. I haven’t even moved in yet. Is that a problem?" Janiya inquired. “Yes, impossible. You make mistakes with your problem, not mine. They said you sign a one-year lease.” The woman’s accent clipped the words. “I can give you rent back, but not the deposit. That’s the best I can do.” "My job arranged this, not me. I want to see it first," Janiya protested.

Larissa's talent was that she insisted on opening a bar opposite ONE. Previously, an oriental restaurant, crowded with customers, and with expensive rent. Only ONE bar can attract so many customers. The restaurant has been open for five years, and this year the contract has expired. Due to the rent increase, the landlord decided to stop doing business. After knowing the story, Larissa immediately rented it out. The rent is more than 6 million a year, and the rent paid every 5 years is 30 million. If Larissa is not reckless, who else is reckless?

"W-Why do you ask?" "Answer me please," Nathan said. "N-no," Willow couldn't help but stutter. Then he smiled. "Be my girlfriend and I'll pay you," he said and her eyes widened the more. "I beg your pardon?" He pulled her towards him, making her stumble on to his chest. Heat crawled across her cheeks in embarrassment. He was so tall and she was so short. "Let me rent you as a girlfriend. I'll pay you $500 per week," he said and her jaw dropped. "What?" she gaped. He nodded, "Just be my girlfriend for as long as I want and I'll keep paying you."
