I heard from my agent that if we want to renew our rental contral we would have to pay a fee to him again. Is this true??? We were planning to stay put and avoid further costs, but if I have to pay again, we may as well look for a new place. Also, I know most agents are professional, nice and have w...

I just received a reply from a playgroup in a very reputable institution that have a "Strictly no-maid policy".

Does anyone know of a Hea...

Hello, Well, I decided to go and visit the following infant daycare centers and here is what I found: 1. Babies Inc. In a scale of 1 to 10, I will give it a 6 at best! I was surprised to see how untidy the place was. Although the facilities are old, I think they could do with some serious cleaning a...

Any tips?
