Sometimes, when work is slow, I rent my apartment to make some extra cash. Yes that’s right—I allow strangers to have sex in my bed, and I am totally okay with it. I actually feel really good about my apartment getting some ass. So if you’re running low on money and you’re okay with strangers doing it where you lay your head, subletting your place is a great way to make a quick buck.
THINGS TO THINK ABOUT WHEN YOU SUBLET:
1. Close your blinds before you leave. Just because you let your creepy drug dealer neighbor watch you walk around naked so you feel sexy, doesn’t mean your sub-letters will feel the same way. Let them have the option of opening them if they want.
2. Do a thorough lesion and BED BUG check. Make sure you meet the people and check for bumps, rashes, ticks, itching, weird noises…anything really.
3. Lock your valuables in your closet. The three most important things I lock away are:
a. My Nintendo Wii (So someone doesn’t steal it.)
b. My Passport (So someone doesn’t steal my identity.)
c. My Vibrator (Because I don’t want them to find it, use it, or judge me for using it. I also don’t them to use my vibrator while playing Nintendo Wii and pretending they are me. If my creepy neighbor were to see that, he’d get confused.)
