The Super
Originally aired 01.05.2007

VAct Three. Please Re-lease Me.

A man we're calling "Dennis" inherits his father's job as a landlord of a big apartment building. His dad had warned him that bad tenants could drive even a good man to become heartless, but Dennis vowed that would never happen to him. He's tested on this point when he tries to help a couple that falls behind in their rent. He sets up a payment plan for them, teaches them how to make a budget, helps them with their personal problems. For six years, he stops himself from kicking them out. (17 minutes)




This American Life, with Ira Glass on WBEZ, is produced by Chicago Public Radio and distributed by Public Radio International.
