Worked for me. And it sounds like that is a situation that will end up on the National news before it is over since they are refusing to leave.

Hmmm. I can see both sides of this. If it were my hotel. I think I may have had enough as well. These people have had 5 months to try and find places to go. And the other side of this being they may have no where else to go. But it comes down to this to me, if these folks are nice enough to give you a place to stay for months on end you should show them a little more respect.

There is no excuse for criminal activity. The drug abuse and prostitution claims have yet to be proven; but if there's vandalism, it will be evident once the owners get the people out of their establishment and enter the units to assess damages.

Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.

These folks need to be slapped around, a lot. Trashing a place you've been staying for free for FIVE MONTHS while migrant workers sleep in tents to help rebuild things? Grrr.
