Inspection Took Place February 17th, 2023

Inspection took place February 17th, 2023... At 1330 hours (indicated courtesy notification slipped under door less than twenty four hours) hence foretold ill fate by property (crooks and quade) management the head honcho zaftig, wanker, (who replaced the warden) and Rich (BOLD FACE text mode) the snitch at Highland Manor Apartments re: looming eviction implication cuz yours truly and the missus out of compliance namely unkempt living space within the walls of apartment b44. after residing within said low income facility going on six years July first two thousand and twenty three, we experienced ongoing contention here, which palpable tension crackles, pops, and snaps across the webbed wide world. Courtesy social media platforms in tandem with reputable poetry websites allows, enables and provides analogous soapbox to vent after above identified triumvirate done scrutinizing, interrogating, castigating... Me and the missus immediately sprung into action rather each of our separate nervous systems underwent uncontrollable bouts of expansion and contraction, (where we both made a beeline for the bathroom) analogous to severe toothache necessitating oral surgeon extraction. One month later - March seventeenth signals the re: visitation of inquisition (cue ominous music) obscure artificial illumination looming dark shadows presaging worse fate than death rivaling close encounters of the third kind outer limits of the twilight zone monstrous sinister forbidding shapes blotting sunlight plunging highland manor apartment in total darkness. Hence aforementioned feeble SOS cuz our rented one bedroom unit b44 not in ship shape, thus me and the wife not happy campers possibly forced to live in a tent among bunch of other homeless people along skidrow, thus fruitless effort to yield and appeal to top banana figuratively precariously perched on horns of dilemma spurred me to posit supposition, whereby sympathy for the devil witnesses greater likelihood versus wordsmith unsuccessfully, nevertheless creatively blindsiding anonymous readers spellbound to empty willy nilly bajillions of dollars from their pocketbooks and mail blank checks to yours truly before coming to their collective sense and sensibility bound with pride and prejudice. The following paragraphs yielded after Google search undertaken to elucidate reader with (our) low income housing facility. Section 515 Rural Rental Housing This property has received funding in part through the Section 515 Rural Rental Housing (Section 515) program. Very low, low, and moderate income families, elderly persons, and persons with disabilities are eligible to live at this property.

USDA Rural Development Rental Assistance may not be available for all units at this property.
