Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 01, 2019

Yeah, and the landlord has thing for you called an eviction notice.

Worth a try! Maybe the Landlord has a sense of humor.

That’s telling your landlord who allowed the property to be a Rat infested Pig sty.

The landlord is willing to give them time out doors.

Good luck with that.

Appa-rent-ly, Pig doesn’t know a thing about lease agreements.

Silly Pig. It is you who will be forced to spend your time outside the house.

If you don’t pay up or else vacate the house, Pig, your landlord Mr. Mc Wolf is gonna huff n puff you out!

Pig if you want to play you got to pay . Some items are beyond a landlord’s control, such as taxes . …….. Croc Power !

The only thing that will be out is PIG AND RAT from their abode. Lol

I wish.

Stephan, just wanted to say you’re one of the best cartoonists I’ve ever read. Consistently funny humor (even the puns). Never stop cartooning. You’re almost as good as Bill Amend. snickers

Welcome to San Francisco… where family-owned businesses that have been open over a century are closing because they can not longer afford the rent.

Don’t worry. By tomorrow this will all be forgotten anyway.

Why the change from all-caps?

The landlord is going to tell you to shove that paper where the sun don’t shine, Pig

Landlords are not Lord Almighty. It often works to “play poker and call them” to negotiate. The landlord thinks the tenant won’t bother with the hassle to move, and go along with whatever increase the landlord requested. But the tenant should know that the landlord does not want the apartment to be vacant until they can rent it to someone else. If you research the neighborhood for comparable rates and know you are being screwed then be firm on your fair counter-offer.

Next comes the renoviction.

I remember when the peons called it “Usury.” Ha, ha, ha, tee-hee, roar, choke…. (And I remember when Credit Card companies existed in Wisconsin.)

Wish that would work for my greedy guts landlord here in Boise, Idaho where they raise the rent Every six months!

You’re dreaming Pig if you think life is fair. The Landlord will gouge you for as much as he can get away with. If you don’t want to pay the bill there’s always someone out there who will.

Now, that’ll show that landlord the error of his ways!

Funnily enough, today marks the one year anniversary of us moving into our apartment, and our rent increased as a result.

GET OUT OF MY HEAD, PASTIS!

Pig, what you need to do is tell the landlord’s mother. Then she will give him a time-out.

Well, if you have to be homeless, at least the weather’s warm right now.

Okayyyyyyyy

Sweet naive Pig and his roomie, Rat, will soon be sitting on the curb, experiencing their own “time out” (out of their house)….

Put a contract on his head and call the guard duck!
