Union County Homes

This has NEVER happened to me, until today...

Closet doorEarlier this evening I was showing a rental listing of ours, a small one bedroom apartment.  I met the tenant at 6pm.  As per our instructions, I had confirmed with the tenant through our showing center, giving 24 hours notice for the showing.

When we arrived I knocked on the door, opened it up, and called out, "Hello!"  Hearing no reply I went in with the prospective tenant.  

First we looked at the kitchen and bath.  We then went into the bedroom.  I pointed out the large closet.  But then I noticed something odd.  A waxy looking hand sticking out of the closet, honestly I thought it was a prop of some sort.  As I said, "Let's look in the closet," a voice called out from inside the closet!

"It's me, the tenant.  I'm not dressed and I'm hiding in here until you're gone!"

The prospective tenant and I couldn't have gotten out of there any faster!

This is definitely a story to remember.
