Ok so what prevents everyone in the apartment doing this with a “cousin”. If you’re stuffing more people into the building then costs go up. Maintenance isn’t free.
Looks like it might be a building that has students in it. A lot of us probably had that college roommate that decided that their high school friend or the new person they were dating was going to visit and never leave.
They didn’t need sanctuary, they just had zero boundaries and respect for the other people in the home. And young people aren’t always the best at resolving those situations with candor, so they fester.
Compared to rent, maintenance is basically free, typically about 1-2%. If we think that cost would double, for some reason, by adding another person, it still wouldn’t be that much. But it’s ridiculous to think that would even be the case, given that a sizeable portion of maintenance is not related to tenants at all.
