not drug related-We pay too much to rent these apartments-If you believe that you are a idiot
I pay a lot of money to rent my apartment (over $900 for a 1 bedroom) and I know for a fact that someone who was involved in dealing drugs lived in these complexes. I don’t know what the exact incident was here but you can’t rule out something because of the amount of rent.
