This is eerily similar to what I endured as a tenant in Providence some years ago. These men dont give a fuck. They want their money even if their houses are dilapidated and hazardous. He won't pay up and fix a thing until he is forced to do so with a series of lawsuits, which are expensive to fund and time consuming. This guy isn't the only one doing this to Prov tenants. My slumlord was from MA, too. Collected 5 grand a month from a house filled with mold and lead. Wish the state would get involved. I'm glad their voices are being heard. I dont miss living in Providence.
