Landlords and cockroaches.

I am a walking dictionary on the real estate market in Sydney. It's become one of my biggest obsessions. I was able to pull a statistic (!) out of my head in conversation that I'd read somewhere this week: When someone was complaining that their landlord was stingey and wouldn't pay for fumigation, I said "they don't have to be nice, there is a less than 2% vacancy rate in Sydney right now. They don't have to suck up to renters". To which this person amusingly replied "I know, but what about integrity! It makes me want to let loose a host of cockroaches when we leave!" I love a strong turn of phrase.
