Sharon, just because you’re ignorant to the facts and have no industry experience does
not make your uninformed assumption correct. Are you so myopic and dense to believe that
every lease dispute winds up in court?

Intentional negligence, as it is commonly referred to in the multi-family industry, is a
common practice in order to break leases. Turn off the HVAC system, run the shower for a
few days, buildup relative humidity, let the mold take off, start coughing and hacking,
call in the city inspectors and health inspectors and presto, you’re out of your lease.

Rather than regurgitating your uninformed opinion on all matters, you should first gain
a modicum of knowledge. Your title of village idiot is not attractive my dear.
