Disgusting Apartment Manchester, New Hampshire

[@janemartinow8109]

I feel sorry for the kids and she's pregnant again. People try to help people give them a place to live and they don't give a Damm.

[@manchesterexplorer8519]

Very sad. The new landlord is actually a really nice guy, as we rent from him, but he won't tolerate this.

[@manchesterexplorer8519]

People wonder why landlord's charge a lot of money for rent these days. There's a lot of apartments in Manchester that are like this or worse, due to the modern day scumbag. It costs $6-$8000 to renovate something like this between materials and labor. Then you hope the new tenants won't trash it again as society is in a downward spiral.

[@BangkokPaul]

@@manchesterexplorer8519 how much was the rent in that place?

[@manchesterexplorer8519]

I'm not sure what it was , but it'll likely be $1800-$1900 after its renovated is my guess. The new owners paid $498k for it.

[@FirstLast-yw2wu]

I feel bad for the kids having to live like that. The apartment is disgusting. Hopefully their mother will get some help for the kids and herself. Looking at this in my opinion Mom must have serious depression. The landlord could have done a better job with the upkeep of the property.

Look at one apartment when I first moved to NH in 2017 and it was so gross I ended up staying with a friend and bought a house the following year…

So that refrigerator can be saved for cheap, when the freezer works and the fridge doesn’t, it’s because of ice, that one needs a new “thermistor” it’s a cheap part and very easy to replace. The door dispenser parts are also cheap. Just keep in mind when it melts there’s going to be a pretty big puddle on the floor. Don’t unplug it unless you have a bunch of towels ready. Or put it into a plastic kid’s pool.

[@manchesterexplorer8519]

@10minutenewhampshirebreak77 It'll get replaced , this isn't my job . A friend of mine is renovating it.

[@10minutenewhampshirebreak77]

@ you must inform your friend about the ice melting which will cause water damage to the unit below.

My dad used to do maintainance on a few apartment buildings around Lake Ave & Lincoln/Wilson Streets area, I helped him out when I could.. I've seen worse, lol

[@manchesterexplorer8519]

I'm sure 🤮🤮

[@lindsaymartin9870]

You can't even open that stove with where the fridge is placed, and that was likely on the last landlord not the tenant

[@manchesterexplorer8519]

@lindsaymartin9870 Yes, the kitchen needs to be rearranged.

[@manchesterexplorer8519]

You can hear my shoes sticking to the floor 🤮. Also, the resident did manage to find a new place to move into, so they're not homeless. That being said, there is no excuse for anyone, rich or poor, to live this way.

[@BangkokPaul]

That’s right the Department of Social Services will just put them in another house so get to work painting that house so you can pay some income taxes to pay for their section 8 rental

[@manchesterexplorer8519]

@BangkokPaul This isn't section 8.

[@jkccarpentry]

Dear Lord, where does the person like that go after they’ve been evicted? Or should I say where does that whole family go?

[@manchesterexplorer8519]

@jkccarpentry I'm not sure , but the new owners fealt bad for the kids . Gave them 90 days, and they did find a place .

[@mthivier]

How does ANYONE let their stove top get to that point? Short of letting pans just boil completely over, and then not even making even the most basic effort to wipe around the burners, you'd have to really try to let things become that filthy. Also, hopefully the owner will either purchase a smaller refrigerator, or more the stove a few inches to the left so that the new tenants can actually open their oven.

[@manchesterexplorer8519]

@mthivier Yes, I noticed the stove issue lol. The setup needs to be rearranged.

[@moraimanicole1609]

You can tell they never took out the drip pans out of the stove. I clean mines but change them once a month.

[@manchesterexplorer8519]

[@jkccarpentry]

I’m not too familiar with section 8. But from what I understand is that the state or whoever it is that pays the rent for the tenant obviously some type of social service this being said can’t the landlord contact section 8, especially when there’s children involved to tell him that the children might be in some type of crisis Sounds like the mothers mentally ill I figured there might’ve been some type of caseworker that landlords can contact when their section 8 to discuss the welfare of their tenants. Maybe there would be some type of intervention. Before it gets to this. This is sad poor kids

[@manchesterexplorer8519]

@jkccarpentry I'm not sure, the place was sold to a new owner and my friend is renovating . As far as I know , this wasn't a section 8 apartment. What's scary is that hellholes like this are very common, and many are much worse.....I just feel bad for any child that's being raised in a place like that. It would literally take 1 hour per week to keep a small apartment like this clean as there's no excuse.

[@JD-sr3ie]
