| Jun 2, 2014 at 1:42 | comment | added | littleadv | @gerrit you just came in from the street and said "please give me your apartment with all the stuff in it" and they just went and said "sure, why not, here are the keys"? I mean Canadians, OK, but I'm sure there's more there than just "with no deposit at all". From your other questions, I'm guessing your employer had something to do with that. | |
