comment
Jason, Don and Ferguson are spending their first summer in the city, with Jason's brother Joe going out of town for the summer and letting them use his coveted downtown apartment. Joe ends up leaving early, before he can tell them everything that they need to know, leaving the boys scrambling to hold down jobs, appease the tight-fisted landlord, and deal with Joe's friend Rootbeer and the antics he keeps getting them into, all the while trying to keep from losing the apartment (as the title suggests, they don't succeednote and it isn't even a spoiler, as the story begins with this having happened).

Ambiguously Jewish: Unappeasable landlord Plotnick's surname, speech patterns and mannerisms fit certain Jewish stereotypes, but his ethnic and religious background are never discussed.

Figure It Out Yourself in real life doesn't work. It's often better to know about a situation ahead of time so that you can handle it. A lot of the problems with the apartment could have been avoided if Joe had given Jason a full rundown about Plotnick charging renters for any repairs, that Rootbeer will take the car for joy rides, and that their landlord can hear everything in their apartment. Jason even notes this.
