This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

For a long time, Richard was the luckiest man in town, renting a flat for next-to-nothing from an old lady who had no idea what her house was worth. But the free-ride comes to an end when the old gal is forced to sell the house, and the new owners don't want a renter. Richard searches for months to find a new place, and with days left before his eviction, he becomes desperate, accepting a deal that he can't afford, in a quaint little house in a quiet little neighborhood. 

He begs the new landlord to let him in early, even though the landlord insists that it will be weeks before the suite is fully ready. "You can work in here while I live here. I'll stay out of your way," Richard promises. He doesn't even mind sharing the space with the old tenant's stuff: piles of women's clothes that were left behind when she moved out. 

It's not long before Richard's lack of finances puts him in an awkward position with his new landlord. It doesn't help that he didn't know about the expensive deposit that was due on move-in day... But the landlord is willing to make a special deal, because Richard just happens to be the right size.
