He did and I did. I thought about not telling, and avoided actually volunteering my justifiably jaded opinion for a couple of volleys. But then... he made points for being persistent and prudent in his inquiries. I do admire that. The clincher was that he had a family.
If the roles were reversed, I would have appreciated an honest response.
Mustering all the diplomacy I could, I informed him that I had an application before the Tribunal regarding lack of maintenance. And that I hoped things would improve eventually.
At the beginning of our encounter he had mistaken me for the landlord with whom he had an appointment to view the vacant apartment. Judging from the presence of the landlord's pickup outside my office, it didn't take very long.
