Is there one place that's been like the worst place you've seen in your hunt for a rental?

Yeah, I actually, one immediately came into my mind because it was traumatizing, like, walked into this place and

the line was out the door and this street was super narrow and there were so many cars.

It felt like people were in a panic because they wanted to make sure they could find a parking

spot to get to the viewing on time. I think the property was about 650, almost 700 a week. And for a price like that,

you'd expect it to have like fresh coat of paint at least or some sort of recent renovation or

maybe there's a dishwasher. Like something to sort of pull you in. But I walked in and it just felt like someone had died in there. It's the best way I can

explain it. Like it just felt like it was being haunted. Everything was dusty and dark. It was old

and had not been loved. This is long-term renter Maddie. And this house, they had a tiny, tiny

staircase to go upstairs and everyone

sort of just waiting at the bottom for an opportunity to go up and just folded arms and shared

glances and like you could feel the negativity. They would just see more and more and more people

lining up to go up the staircase. And you're like, this is never going to be my home. Like,

I have to compete with all of these people and this place sucks.

Like, this place is expensive and it sucks and I'm still going to fight with you guys to get it.

Yeah.

It's just insane.

What was at the top of the stairs?

Anything worth seeing in the end?

Like, the tiniest, cre creepiest bedroom you've ever seen.

It was so awful.
