Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. WHOA!

You guys have to also think about the fact that the dude never got one complaint from anybody around him to rouse the Landlord to even drop by once in a while!!!!!!!!!!!! Think about THAT!
The dude lived there for 3 years without even a sniff or a hint of trouble from the neighbors.
The dude lived so quietly and peacefully that the Landlord didn't even have any clue as to what the guy was doing to his property!!!!!
The place must have never had any plumbing, electrical, roofing, tiling, window, cable, mail problems?????????????????????????????????????????

FOR 3 YEARS????????????????????

If you owned a property, wouldn't you just drop by to check in and see how the place is doing, if it needs any sort of touching up at all?
The Landlord didn't even suspect for a minute that there was nothing wrong, just because he didn't hear from the tenant?

That is absolute stupidity, all around.

The Landlord is also to blame to let this happen to his own place.

I can understand not liking to clean, as in scrubbing with a brush on your hands and knees. But I don't get not being able to get a trash bag and throw crap away. I mean decaying food, paper trash, just STUFF. If you ever watch Clean House on the Style Network, it seems like 50% of the clutter is clothes. GET SOME LAUNDRY HAMPERS, throw things in the closet and quickly shut the door. ANYTHING would be better than just leaving your clothes on the floor to walk on.

This picture is actually my previous downstairs neighbor. Let us just say that there were more than a few cockroaches living here. I snapped the picture and sent it to my mom, to fool her into thinking it was my kitchen (the layout being identical). I know, mean.

Imagine this place, garbage and rotting food stacked to the ceiling. I'm going to go vomit now, just thinking about it.

Good lord. That's why I refuse to rent out my condo.

I have a friend whose family rents out properties. They have maybe 100 houses for rent in one town alone. When they have to evict people (which does happen, unfortunately), those people tend to not clean up after themselves. They have a photo album of those examples (yeah, weird, right?), and some of that stuff is just nasty. Of course, they've also gotten pieces of antique furniture the people left behind, so it's not a total loss. None of that really matches up to that mess, however.

Mental illness, exactly. There is even a survivors group for people with squalor issues.

Mental illness comes in many forms, this is just one of them.

Man, That's supremely nasty.

I've lived with people that were nasty, but my god, can just image the rest of the house.

I can't believe it. There is another one of these slobs on the planet. My wife's ex-husband ifs the exact same way. I can't stand to even go in his house.
