Yup. I currently am renting a house built in the 60s. Hasn't been updated since the 70s, so not only is rent sky high, but so is our utility bill. My landlord doesn't give a shit enough to upgrade the house. Why should he? He's raking in the cash without having to spend a dime, and the fucking state I live in allows it to happen.
Used to live in a 110 year old house with paper thin wall, leaky roof, a basement that flooded at every drizzle, a shit claw tub"Shower" and the rent was stupid high for that crap box.
