    Does the single mother in your story still not have AC? Please let me know. If she doesn't I will go buy her a window unit from Home Depot and give it to her. I can also put it in for her. Thanks. I'll be free tomorrow after 11am.

    all those kids and no father can step forward and do the right thing, they never asked about the father , A simple question , how does the father feel about the children going through this,. It looks like a woman wanting money,
    why would a doctor write such a sloppy recommendation that makes no sense. What doctor is going to put a note in for a landlord, She had him do that, hoping for a settlement.

And city official make it legal for slumlord to rent house with no acc. But don't be late for rent. Or pay extra late penalty and be late few time slumlord kicks out.
