Last week, during the New York gubernatorial debate, Jimmy McMillan of the “Rent Is Too Damn High” party stole the show in a bizarre debate. What was even more interesting than his appearance at the debate was the fact that the press believes his rent isn’t “Too Damn High”. He has been paying $800 for a 1 bedroom apartment since 2005 which they consider inexpensive for rent in New York. According to reports, he missed a few payments and eventually worked out a deal with his landlord which would allow him to have set rent in exchange for providing maintenance on the apt.
