When looking for a place, my mom's coworker mentioned she had a place. All original from the 70s. Wood panel walls, original kitchen appliances and linoleum, and... yup, carpeted bathroom. Complete with the 30+ years of mystery stains throughout. The place was one of the most awful ones I had seen, and she was renting it out easily for a high price due to location. My mom was all mad I wouldn't rent it, because she wanted her friend to have a good tenant. I flat out told her that place did not DESERVE a good tenant. It deserved the revolving door of don't-give-a-shit college kids that it was getting. That's what happens when you rent out a hole without bothering to renovate a damned thing. Even some new carpet (EXCEPT IN THE FUCKING BATHROOM) or something would help. Sheesh.
Oh, gross!! Old carpeting with endless college parties and goddess knows what diseases, etc through there. It's fucking criminal what some landlords get away with!
