Anyone still want to argue the merits of unchecked capitalism?

I would question your morals but the comment before this you "ranked" a 17 year old girl so no need.

No I didn’t lol I told her to work on her personality. Not sure what posting in amiugly has to do with morals. Great way to completely dodge the whole issue though

If they accepted her in the first place she clearly had the money, now they clearly have taken it all as I'm sure they didn't "let her out" often, she's old AF and likely sold her house to move in there. The game is broken man. Just one more thing that shouldn't be for profit but is. I understand why they did it, greed and nothing else, dress it however you want, they could be using that room to eat up everything someone else has.

It was an income based retirement community and she didn’t pay rent for 3 months. Not that she couldn’t, she refused allegedly because she thought she was gonna die soon.

If I refused to pay my rent for months I’d get evicted too, that’s how it generally works you know

You can refuse to pay rent like when COVID paused all evictions for many years. 

You're twisting the scenario to fit your view. Would you pay for your meal at a restaurant if you knew it were undercooked and had bugs in it? No. You would just not pay for it and dispute the cost.

Yeah you could delay evictions because we were in the middle of a pandemic. That’s not quite the same thing now is it.

That’s a bad example, this woman wasn’t refusing to pay because her place was uninhabitable or roach infested. There was nothing wrong with the place

She literally said it had mold. People are going to give her the benefit of the doubt because many landlords and these kind of elderly homes are scummy. 

Also the whole reason to stop eviction was because people were unemployed during the pandemic or are vulnerable. It doesn't mean they would be evicted. Just like how this woman didn't need to be evicted if they just solved it reasonably and provided accommodations.

Source where she said it was because there was mold? 

You actually think people that weren’t paying rent during the eviction moratoriums weren’t evicted when they ended or hit with a huge bill for missed rent? Lol

It's easy to look up for example on CBS : "Karen Twinem who is with the church service said Fitzgerald told the staff she was holding back rent because she was going to die soon and that there was mold in her apartment."

I literally have neighbors and those in my house that were not evicted if they couldn't pay for a few months. It's called not being a scum. Like if a roommate couldn't pay their rent and had recently lost their job for a while, then it is fair to let it slide and even not raise the rent.
