Brew and Board

An Australian property owner has hit upon a dubious theory. In order for him to secure occupants who are responsible and reliable he is offering beach front property and he is going to pick up the utilities. Reasonable enough. But the landlord is also going to kick in pay-television and free beer for the desireable renters. This cannot be a good idea.

He may initially have an ideal tenant, but give them "The Real Cancun" on pay-per-view and drop a pony keg in the living room and your prim resident will transform your property before your eyes. Suddenly it will be the end of the month and they will stage K-Y Wrestling nights just to make rent. The only thing left is to call the authorities to come and clear the neighborhood.
