I slept many a night on an aluminum frame pool chair. I don't know what the hell the hangup with furniture is.

Hang in there. With what's about to hit them, they're going to be a lot less fussy in a month or two, desperate for tenants that can pay and that voucher is going to look too good to pass up.

Right now, their priorities are backward. First, the roof over your head. Next is scouting thrift shops and castoffs for something to sit on and a table to eat at and a mattress to sleep on, you can call it minimalist these days and get away with it.
