Hoarders are pretty sick people and shouldn't be living in a comples but i suppose they lie about hoarding before they move in.

I can imagine there being a lot of hoarders around. It does seem to be something growing. I remember reading something that with COVID, hoarding has become worse. I imagine it's thrown a lot of minds out of whack.

Good morning
It's hard to tell sometimes what goes on in another person's household. Nobody should have to tolerate this type of filth due to the neglect of their neighbor's bizarre habits. Hoarders can cause an entire neighborhood real problems. They are nearly always a proverbial rat's nest. I deal with these homes more often than I care to when I am photographing them for up and coming sheriff's sales.

Oh, that can be unsettling to hear about the hoarders. I know you know that it manifests sometimes when people are mentally unwell and that it is an illness and it has nothing to do with education or wealth. We have seen on our local news some very pricey homes where the people were hoarders and the situation was so bad the neighbors had to get the Health Dept and police to do something. When house shopping several years ago we looked at a house out of our budget but a good buy, though still pricey. It was like something from the TV show inside! A horror! The owners: highly educated professionals.
