Explode your head along with Jack & Diane as they humorously arm wrestle with other-world tenants inside a wild sucking vortex of transition from corporate life to land-lording. Pops gives his son Jack and Jack's wife, Diane seventeen well-honed rules after they agree to take over his rental property. He is hoping his experience will keep their over optimistic selves from imploding.
Rule Six: Always run a car check. Rule Fifteen: When faced with a crazy person, act like a crazy person.
That's just some of the advice Pops gives them. However, the rules aren't enough to prepare them for the shady characters they confront and the bizarre, amusing, and sad reality they discover while interacting with their new tenants.
Tenants, whom they give secret nicknames like Meth Mouth, Poopie, and Lolita, give them a lesson in the human condition-a lesson more epic than they ever imagined. The renters provide their share of humor and compassion but launch Jack and Diane into a social experiment gone awry.
Pops's Rules is a humorous account of being a landlord that was inspired by numerous conversations between author d.thompson and other rental-property owners. Follow along through Diane's perspective as she and her husband shed their corporate kneepads and seize the opportunity to take their lives in a new direction.
Can they navigate through the hell of being landlords? Or will it leave them as crazy as the tenants who live behind their walls?
