The first thing the landlord does when he finds out that the girl is poor is to ask her what she wants. The girl tells him that she wants a smart phone and a tablet. The landlord tells her that he found out about her previous life through a background check. She says that she used to have a cheap phone, but that it was not essential to her survival. She adds that the landlord doesn't understand how she feels when she counts the days to her next paycheck. He thinks that poverty is too far away, and that the worlds they live in are not too far apart
