My Rental Drama Continues

What would a week be without some Dave Lutman rental drama? Yesterday, after driving to Ikea, I parked the car in front of our temporary apartment. I glanced over in the right-hand side, lower corner, to make sure there was a parking permit. As I read the date to be the 9th, I didn't replace the sticker. Unfortunately, the parking permit noted the 6th. So, this morning, when Chris went to drive to his first day of work, he found a $60 parking ticket.

Now I'm sending a note to the city informing them that we just arrived in Chicago, that we're driving a temporary vehicle, that we've been placing parking permits in the window since December 18th, and that last night I incorrectly stated the date. Included with my letter will be documentation showing that we live in Chicago as well as the incorrect permit.

Here's to hoping they understand and show leniency. If not, I won't be eating out for lunch the rest of January.
