Rent exceeding $2,000 a month doesn’t always mean cleanliness, as noted by an American influencer who was disgusted with the state of her building.
Lexie Firment pays $2,000 a month (CAN$2,675) to live in her “luxurious” South Carolina abode.
In a video recently posted on TikTok, the American shows her followers the sad state of affairs around her building’s swimming pool.
“There are cigarettes all over the floor […] There is toilet paper everywhere, there are also beer cans lying around that are not thrown in the garbage,” she says right at the beginning.
“There is literally feces [dans la piscine] […] Even on the way to the pool it’s absolutely gross.”
The latter isn’t necessarily a criticism of the building’s tenants for waste.
She blames the maintenance crews, who she says are slow at doing their job.
“The garbage cans haven’t been emptied for weeks,” she complains.
The woman, who even claims excrement is littering the bottom of the pool, can’t believe she has to pay so much to stay in the building on top of the rent increases.
In the comments section of the excerpt, which was viewed more than 350,000 times, the reactions of outraged netizens multiplied.
“I’m sorry that the residents and their guests are not picking up their rubbish. However, I think maintenance teams need to catch up,” said one user.
“You have to call the owners and denounce the work of these maintenance teams,” adds another netizen.
