This show is about the lengths one woman will go to live rent free in NYC. After her brother-in-law made an offhand comment that he would pay her rent in exchange for a podcast, Nancy knew she had no choice but to take this joke to its logical end point. Begun in 2016 and completed during the isolated days of covid-19 quarantine, David Pays My Rent is a limited run series about all of the crazy stuff that happens when you rent an apartment and the cast of characters you meet along the way.

Episode 2 - Landlords (part I)

There is no such thing as a good landlord, but god-awful landlords are available in abundance. We've all been without hot water at one point or played the "ground-is-hot-lava-so-your-couch-is-your-new-home" game upon discovering a family of cockroaches under the kitchen sink. In all these times, we are beholden to our landlords, however unreliable they may be.
