The way he try’s to call her bougee because she wants an indoor bathroom? And it doesn’t sound like she was raised rich, more like she was raised better than Rob and he’s trying to make the leap bigger than what it is. “You’re used to apartments in Dubai and Spain, but in poor America, we use communal bathrooms…” He has no ambitions to better in his life and I hope she see’s that before it’s too late…
He is so weird. The hoodiest of poor hood apartments that I have ever been to all had indoor toilets.
I think he lives in someone’s converted garage since it’s all one room and a patio
That’s what I’m saying, I’ve never heard of anyone in a major US city without plumbing in the apartment. He looks like he’s in a storage closet….
Manhattan shoebox apartments with communal bathrooms would like to enter the chat 🤫
Listen those are still way better than Rob’s set up. I had a friend who lived in a room in Brooklyn and it was still better than Rob’s place.
Yeah, but you don’t have to go outside to get to it.
True, just replying to the part about Rob not having one in the unit 😊 either sound like a nightmare to me!
Yes. 😊. I have stayed in some military temporary family housing (prior barracks) and it was communal showers, completely open. Lol. That Rob is a smug little mf’er too.
Pretty sure whatever he is renting is illegal. I think you have to have a bathroom to rent it as a unit?
I live in LA and I know that there are legal SROs (single room occupancy), but they’re usually converted hotels or other legal dwellings. There’s usually shared bathrooms on the floor. But Rob’s situation feels illegal because the bathroom isn’t even attached to the dwelling. I work in law, so tomorrow I’m going to see if there’s a building code about this.
SRO=Standing room only in this case.
Oh please report back! I’d be interested to know as he is on tv if it is illegal, LOL. Feels illegal.
If he is not paying any rent it’s not illegal. And I don’t think he has a job. So how could he afford any rent.
Yeah there’s a lawyer in my office who knows about landlord tenant law so I’ll ask him tomorrow. It does feel illegal
I am pretty sure you can have a JADU without a bathroom in the unit as long as they have access to a bathroom elsewhere on the property
I just looked up JADU, and if it is that, there’s a problem still. It says that in a JADU, you can “share a bathroom with the single family home.” The bathroom Rob has is clearly not attached to another dwelling, right? It’s basically an outhouse.
Idk, I am not sure what the law considers shared, if it is on the same property it might count but a JADU is supposed to be attached to the house so maybe the bathroom must be too not sure
I don’t remember even seeing a kitchen
I think it is like a garage or storage unit
It has to be an illegal apartment. I live in LA in a questionable neighborhood and I’ve never seen that anywhere.
I was going to say this. At least in the state I live in - rentals have to have a working full bathroom and bedrooms have to have windows.
On another thread someone said it’s covered under the housing laws as a “habitable room” or “habitable space” no toilet, no individual utilities. Probably 5-700 a month
I swear it’s a converted garage. Is that even legal?
Yes I was thinking that too! It looks like a converted garage.
It’s probably not. LA has very strict rules about housing. I’m off to google the building codes
Definitely an illegal set up. I thought the bathroom would be down a hall but, this bathroom opens to the patio!!
It’s because he lives in a garage. He literally lives in a renovated garage/shed. I’m sure the rent is quite low. Rob the knob needs a better paying job.
I don’t think he has a job. I think that’s one of the reasons her mom thinks he’s a knob
Omg
I think he’s living in a renovated garage or something. It doesn’t even look apart of the house.
