Oh please. These idiots rented out an illegal shitty apartment to an illegal shitty tenant who knew exactly how to get over on them. Happens every day to people who rent their illegal shitty basements to people send a letter telling them to get a C of O and they stop paying rent knowing they will NEVER get a legal C of O for their shitty basement.

When you do something illegal as a slumlord and someone throws it back in your face....you get ZERO sympathy from me.
