In a new episode of real life in Venezuela I found an office I love for my studies; it's even close to my house and for a good price, $150 a month according to the owner. But here's the thing: the owner's real estate agent is adding $50 to the monthly rent without the owner's knowledge. Basically, she's trying to pocket an extra $50 every month and is hindering the process for the owner who really wants to rent it out.
