Hi Marilyn,

First of all I'm sorry the apartment was a disaster when you moved in. Unfortunately, we didn't own the place at that time. There is no way Michelle or I would ever rent a place out that isn't spotless let alone as filthy as you said it was.

As for the rent increase I will drop it to $5 month so it will be $405 for yourself and Becky. Someone will have to take responsibility for the hydro bill and we will need to set that up later (in Aug).

I appreciate you girls are clean and considerate tenants, I hope we can have another good year. Maybe you guys should think about hiding a spare key.

Thanks,
Scott
