So As I stayed before, I currently share a room with this. Tenant does not pay rent and twice. Now I've left to go do a job. In northern Nevada and the first time I left for * weeks and still panguine. I came back and. My property has been grand sacked and a bunch of my personal property and money was stolen. I told the owner about this problem and ask her if she can remove the tenant from my room. Since you're not paying rent and I am getting my stuff stolen. She basically ignored my request. I had to go work again this time. I was gone for about * weeks and I came back and now all my property in my room. Basically has is missing from the stolen ran through ransacked. I told the owner about this and I told her that I addressed this problem months ago and she never fixed it. And that I didn't think it was right to pay rent for a place where my property is being kept if it's not being safe when I go leave to do a job
