Harold is a model tenant who pays his rent on time each month, despite barely making ends meet. He's suddenly reeling from a perfect storm of unfortunate events. He unexpectedly lost his job and is saddled with outstanding debts. Even worse, he's in frail condition after hospitalization for falling sick with Covid-19. It's bad enough that he's dealing with unemployment and recovering from a serious illness, the landlord evicts him for falling behind in rent payments. No sympathy given whatsoever.
