Ok, landlord removes toilet while raising rent. Scummy landlord? Maybe. But I still question the tenant more. Why keep renting?

Because living in tent doesn't get you a toilet and loses a lot.

So build your own house! Or pay someone to build you a house. Or join forces with 10 others and build a hostel with decent toilets, or a tent campground with a bathhouse. Move to a different building with higher rent.

Or just sit in your dump apartment, keep paying rent, and complain about the toilet. Yeah, that's the best choice.

What's that? It's a 3-bath that still has 2 working toilets and a great kitchen? It's not a total dump? It's kind of a dump but close to awesome schools? Look, is it worth the rent or not? Stay and pay, or leave. What's that? It costs money and trouble for a moving van? Sigh. It sure does.



The problem is there is no option when all the landlords are scummy.
