WHEEZE

Oh, you lost your sole source of income? Your tenants can't possibly imagine how that feels

should have put away 3 months worth of bills/etc for that inevitable rainy day, huh

32 units is quite the amount. To spend so much without having anything left for savings...

That's a ludicrous amount of monthly spending

I think the other thing is his immediate desire to act like a dictator or see himself as an "other" rather than thinking about how he and his tenants could get through this together

^ they could team up, pool resources or something

^^ The fact that OP's first reaction was "how do I squash this" is probably just the latest in a long string of behavior that's why the tenants banded together.

It's Nick : I'm trying to fathom how much income they must've been spending before now

holy fucking shit this goddamn idiot

IF YOU CAN because not everyone can

YOU SHOUL DBE MAKING AN EMERGENCY FUND

TO LAST YOU ABOUT 6 MONTHS

(but again not everyone can BUT THIS GUY CAN APPARENTLY?)

~vore the rich~

so, let's say each apartment is 1k a month to rent. x 32 apartments equals $32k a month income. even if 3/4 of that has to go to building expenses (taxes, mortgage, upkeep, etc.) that's still $8k a month they're making. and I don't think it's costing them 3/4 of the income to run the building and pay the staff, that's just me being generous

that's just me simplifying things since apartment sizes, floor it's on, location, etc can influence rent costs. I think the only places you can get an apartment for less than $1k a month are small towns or neighborhoods that are shoddy locations (environmental, distance from commerce, etc.) not counting subsidized/low income housing.

iirc he's in houston

And the AVERAGE RENT as of 1/2020 is $1,338
