Getting to the bottom of things

One commenter wanted to get more details and asked her why she signed the contract if the place would turn out like this, to which the TikTokker said:

"Darling trust me it was a very nice clean place when I signed the contract then boom it was something I never imagined."

In another comment, the lady renting out the place stated that she signed a one year contract with the landlord and now she's stuck. She added that she has been living in poor conditions for three to four months now.
