This is probably the only time anyone has ever actually been happy to pay their rent.

A woman in Kansas was held captive for months in her apartment and repeatedly raped by her boyfriend. So, when it came time to drop off her rent check, she also put a note pleading for help in the envelope. After reading the note, her apartment manager called police and a maintenance worker went to get the poor lady. The maintenance worker, Mychael Reyes, said:

When I said 'Go downstairs' and she just went, like that. She was quick, she didn't even hesitate. We got downstairs and that's when she finally, like, looked so relieved, but at the same time, was shaking really bad and like, started crying."

After a standoff with the police, the boyfriend was arrested. He has been charged with rape and kidnapping.
