TOM NOOK IS A GOD DAMN SLUM LORD
Tom Book is the kind of slumlord who treats his tenants like walking rent checks rather than human beings. His properties are barely livable, with leaky ceilings, faulty wiring, and infestations that he conveniently ignores until the city forces his hand. Even then, he finds ways to cut corners, patching over mold with a fresh coat of paint instead of fixing the source of the problem. He jacks up rent whenever possible, preys on low-income tenants who can’t afford to fight back, and pockets their security deposits by blaming them for the damage his own neglect caused. To him, maintenance requests are just an inconvenience, and eviction threats are his go-to method for keeping people quiet.
