Living on the Edge
In any kind of living situation there may be problems, and they may not always be what you assume. We’ve already seen that trying to DIY fix some problems can backfire and have some pretty disastrous results, so it’s better to leave some things to the professionals. This person should just be happy that they didn’t try to fix it themselves, because who knows what might have happened!
This takes the term “living dangerously” to an entirely new level. They are lucky that nothing serious happened while they were there! At least they were able to save a little on rent for some time. Note to self: always check the status of any building before you move in. It’s not something we always consider, but you never know. A simple inquiry can go a long way!
