That's a good question because I know there's been a lot of situations where tenants had had to put in a request for payments for furniture as being damaged.

Especially initially when the rehabs were taking place and still up to this day have not received the the monies from the excuse me, guys, monies from these particular developers.

So that's definitely problematic council member.
1:41:54
And then we'll definitely continue.

Hopefully, Brian Nightship can referee that situation.
