Not Gus please

Faults & faults Michel, Lindsay, Deb are the Most Ungrateful, Unlikeable interfering characters of QaF. Its Good to read fics like these Pointing out their evident manuplations through out show done to Brian & Justin.

Everyone has its limits. Good for Marlyn, Vic, Jen. Deb will fail try to load it on other. Lindsay should be doomed clearly.

Wonderful written, & update. Kudos to you. :-)

It's always fun to throw mysterious Marilyn in the mix. I really hope you were not hinting that Kind hurt that baby. How is a child going to fit in Brian and Justin's new life.

Debbie needs to hear about Michael's invasion of Justin's privacy in her home, even though she will undoubtedly try to excuse it.  What and who has Lindsay harmed now.  It better not be Gus.

You have officially killed me.....I hope she didn't hurt any of our boys to include Gus or Mel for that matter. Hopefully they can get to her in time before she can cause further damage.

p.s. update soon pretty please ☺️☺️☺️

If she hit Gus, Brian and Mel with Fry her ass, with Jennifer verbally flaying her skin off her.

Then Jennifer will make her name in the countryclub set so toxic that she and her family she so wants to empress are knocked down to the gutter where they belong.

And if it is Mel, both Vic and Brian will get Mel and Gus THE HELL OUT OF THE PITTS.

This cliff has to be resloved soon....PLEASE???  (sending a sensory-deprivation tent than only you, your computer, and a bottle of JD can access)

Goodie!!! It's on again! With MM in the mix.

Vic and Jennifer are really patient with Debbie. I'm not sure one session will be enough to get her to open her eyes.

What did MM feel? What did Lindsay do? Evil cliffhanger!

I'm surprised regarding the fact that one person can own a building and some other people can own flats within said building. Is it common practice in the US?

Author's Response:

Hey Claire! Thanks for your question. In the US, there are several ways to own a property. Of course, there is the standard purchase of a house or commercial building. There is renting with an option to buy (done sort of like leasing a car with that same option), and then there is a situation like the one which appears in this story.

From my experience with condos vs. apartments, the one thing that can happen- and does here- is where there is a sort of split ownership. That means although Brian owns his loft flat out, he still pays a homeowner's association fee and a portion of the property taxes to the owner of the building. It's the same with a condominium complex and is usually included in a seller's (be it a realtor/ property management company, or an independent homeowner who opted to negotiate privately) contract concerning the HOA fees to be signed by the buyer. The contract can (and usually does) include a list of maintenance costs, homeowner's insurance, facility fees and in some instances closing costs at the time of negotiation. In actuality if the option is available, it's good business sense to take advantage of it since you get all the rights and privleges of owning your place, but none of the key responsibilities like fixing the roof, etc that owning an actual house has.
