2 daysThey charged me 800.00 a month in Durant Oklahoma. The RAT'S was bigger than my Chawawa. The day we moved, the city tore it down. We tried to get help.

3 daysI'm guessing the pests and problems were there when these people moved in 12 years ago. At least 8 years, he even says so. So why is it a problem now? Why move into the place to begin with? Why not move out? Why no job? Mechanics are essential workers. Terrible conditions to be sure, but too many unnecessary gaps here for me to feel sorry. 🤔

3 daysSin intención de ofender a nadie x q no se mudan si ustedes pagan renta y pueden pagar en otro lugar y vivir decentemente yo se q hay dueños de casas irresponsables pera así mismo mucha veces no da ganancia ni para cubrir el pago al banco y lo básico como luz agua y arreglos no estoy a favor de nadie es solo un comentario

4 daysFirst thing to do is move the hell out of NYC. It’s people’s fault to live in conditions like that for 12 years. There’s plenty of jobs in US, a specially for mechanic. 12 years he is been living there and doesn’t speak English? I’m not sorry for him.

4 daysIt's not just New York. This is happening all over the USA. And they keep raising the rent.
