This week on Wednesday, me and my class went to The Tenement Museum. We were tenement inspectors and we were making sure the tenant and the landlady were not breaking any tenement laws. We got two points of view, one from the landlady named Dora and another from the tenant named Becky. They were breaking a lot of tenement laws, so we had to report them to the chief inspector. How would we do that? There were no cell phones, so we had to write letters. The letters were saying stuff that we recommend like to hire a housekeeper who cleans the house or maybe make more tenants pay their rent. This is some of what I wrote:

“Becky was breaking laws like making piles of rags on the floor and keeping urine and feces in her apartment. It also looks like Dora is fixing minor issues more than she is fixing really important issues like Dora put fancy surfaces on the stairs but did not fix Becky’s running water.” (Margaret)
