Greetings, apartment owners. Today we bring you a special feature on bolstering your income. It's a must-read for those find their incomes lamentably stagnant even after upgrading their apartments and charging accordingly. First, it's vital to keep your tenants' income in mind. The swankiest apartment won't recoup your investment if its occupant can't afford the rent. Tenants grow and develop by using a variety of furnishings.

Resident Romance
(Y5 Summer Weekend, 3:00 PM)
| “
|
Greetings, apartment owners. Our topic today is romance for residents. We asked love specialist R. Jelly for a few tips. "People with a lot of charisma, like me, have no trouble attracting the ladies, but the rest of you can improve your prospects through fashion," he said, adjusting several layers of gold chains. "Read magazines and learn to dress with style." Whether your building's residents find that helpful remains to be seen, but if all goes well they may end up proposing to the girl or boy next door. Keep an eye on them and see. But, you know, don't get creepy about it.

Attendees included the apartment manager, who said, "It was such a beautiful ceremony, and the happy couple's joy was infectious! The dinner was sooo amazing, too! Especially the roast beef..." She went on to tearfully all nine courses in great detail. We wish the happy couple a long and blissful life together!

Golden Years

A longtime resident of [name of your apartment] has just retired and is evidently looking forward to quiet days ahead. "I've always worked so hard, so it'll be nice to worry about my own happiness for a change," said the tenant. "I'm jealous," the building's manager commented later. "I wish I had time for tea and cards, but my boss is such a... Um, never mind." Retirees make less money than they did while working full-time, which can impact a building's finances significantly. In any case, we wish the new retiree a well-deserved rest.

No sooner had we learned that a very famous company had appointed a new CEO when we discovered that they actually lived in [name of your apartment]!
