The saga of Jimmy McMillan's $872-a-month St. Mark's Place apartment continues.
After a 4-year legal battle, the "Rent is Too Damn High" party founder was set to be evicted last Thursday from his apartment of 38 years. (The landlord has claimed that McMillan's primary address is in Brooklyn.)
However, as the Post reports, McMillan won an 11th-hour reprieve to stay for at least another week while the matter continues to get sorted out.
Meanwhile, McMillan invited the Post into his apartment for a grand tour.
Per the rather wacky piece:
The Post got a first tour of the downtown pad, which features a sunken living room and exposed brick — and piles of clothes littering the floor.
They’re there for a reason, McMillan explained, in case he has to “get out in a hurry.”
Also from the article:
He owes more than $18,000 in rent, the landlord claims.
McMillan claims he tried to pay his rent, but Judge Laurie Lau refused to accept his payments and Lisco Holdings returned his checks.
McMillan insists there is a conflict of interest because lawyers from the landlord’s law firm sit on a committee to select Housing Court judges.
