Its smaller than the laundry room in my 2000 sqft 4 bedroom house that I pay $1100 a month for.

(In methtown, OH... and the house is over 120 years old, still has knob and tube wiring, the plaster ceilings in the bedrooms are threating to fall down at any moment, and it's lined with asbestos and lead paint, but at least i have my own bathrooms and kitchen!)

Your 120 year old house has asbestos?

Yeah, why would a house built before 1930 - 1977 need any updates during that period, seems sus?

Ita often easier to just cover up asbestos than remove

The lead paint keeps the asbestos in place.
