Reporters visiting the condo on April 29 were shown the trash-laden room by Oil, a 22-year-old employee. Inside, they found piles of garbage, including food containers and clothes, covering the floor and furniture. Despite warnings, the tenant, previously incarcerated for drug charges, was evicted after failing to address the issue.
The tenant, who worked as a market laborer, had been quiet and sometimes brought food for staff. Initially punctual with rent, he later fell behind and resisted room inspections. After the leak incident, eviction was enforced, with a police complaint filed for damages.
Looking Ahead, the condo management seeks compensation while maintaining building standards. Further investigations may be conducted into similar incidents to prevent re-occurrence.
