A family-oriented, gated community sounds like a perfect fit for Chantal and Peetz.
The way I see it, the rental agent is thinking thusly: Hmmm... We have that nice couple with the baby. Dad is an accountant, mom stays at home. Both have good credit. There's the young, working couple; husband is a teacher, wife is a social worker. Both have good credit. Or, there's the couple with the elementary school age daughter. The dad works for the post office and the mom is going to nursing school. They have some debt on their credit, but they pay their bills on time. Or, there was that couple with the guy who wore his sunglasses indoors and spoke in monosyllables and his girlfriend, a 400-pound, wheezing, balding weirdo. He makes just a hair above minimum wage, and she claims to be a "celebrity" on YouTube. He has no credit or driver's license. She has poor credit...
I don't think too many will decide "the choice is clear! Our family community needs a very large YouTube celebrity living here!" If there are multiple applicants for a single apartment, I can't see Chantal and Peetz being anybody's first or second pick.
Also, if she wheezes and howls in pain from walking a block, the landlord might fear a lawsuit if she keels over. Being able to walk is one way to impress a potential landlord.
This video was pure fantasyland; she was living like the influencers of her dreams for a moment there, if only in her eggplant head. Reality is usually harsher.
If grandma co-signs on the apartment, then maybe they have a shot at a lesser place. Don't do it, grandma!
Not only that, she's not seriously thinking about her future and income. She's in a conundrum where she wants to eat better due to her health and maybe she wants to lose weight. If she does, she has to give up mukbangs or at best shitty food. Which means her viewership will go down since it's well established her "WLJ" videos lack in numbers, she bores of them, and the content level is shit though some good LOLZ have come out of them. BInding herself into a rent level that demands she make a $xx minimum per month, she's fucked since she doesn't know what the fuck she'll be doing in a week from now - and include the "Fuck you hayders, mkaybai Youtube, For realz" radio silences that range from overnight to several weeks.
She will HAVE To do mukbangs, daily or regularly. She'll not be able to just flake on and off the YewTubes when the hayders come after her...
And I would imagine a gated community is going to do a background check including.... a basic internet search. We all know the top Google result for her is... (Hello community rental property management people! We're here to confirm any contract with Chantal is a high risk one. She's not reliable, inconsistent, and her self employment is not stable. That is all.)
My stance as to Chantal getting a cosigner? If, if, if, if Chantal does reach out to her family? I hope they all say "eh, no, sorry... find a different apartment" because it would suck to be them if these two adults with arrested development, emotional issues and generally lacking in general simply can't figure out basic income vs expenses. The two of them are not worth getting into any financial and legal jeopardy because they can't fucking adults. They may be 35 (and she's going on 36 in March) but they're stuck at 17 and Peetz sounding like a 10-year-old "I don't eat veg-a-tables" manchild.
Let's face it, Chantal is getting excited to cook french cuisine when she can't even make any dinner that isn't 6 ingredients or less and even in this video when cleaning out the fridge mentions "pots" of food. Like she doesn't even put leftovers into any sort of container. Just fucking pots of food in the fridge. That's okay in some cases but not as a general rule. She's never going to be a cooking channel no matter how kick-ass the kitchen is. An indicator, like Jackal said.. she's described fucking cooked ground beef as being 'tender' and the best way to scoop food is using a spoon. Fucking mental gymnast we have here.
BUT--- what I do look forward is no matter where they wind up - I want to see the whole kitchen appliance collection on the counters. The rotating cheese grater. The Vitamix blender, the zoodler, the mini-griddle, the air fryer, the slow cooker, the juicer, the standing cuisinart mixer (not sure if she has one...yet?). Maybe she'll get a breadmaker too! Then she might go nuts and eventually get recipes!
And to those of you who pointed out the roach crawling on the wall. I can't fucking unsee it and it's just tremendously amazing after a full fumigation not even a month ago. That's just fucking nasty.
