“Unfortunately, I’h I own this place, I never once made a profit There are countless repairs that need to be done everywhere, and everything I get is just enough to allowthe area and place Do you kno et broken in an area like this? Especially after what happened with that attack
“I wanted to ive people another chance, but because of s ask for more, I have no choice but to increase rent… it’s the first time in ten years I had to make a decision that I was uncooodbills a few ti iret in the old h schooler was even more assured that their landlord was a decent o he hadould pester a normal worker because he was frustrated with his job, when there were people like Mr Morten in the world
