The man who ran for New York governor under the slogan the “Rent Is Too Damn High” claims he is being kicked out of his Manhattan apartment — because the “rent is too damn low,” the New York Post reported Friday.
Jimmy McMillan, recognizable by his Imperial-style white mustache, sideburns and goatee, says he pays $872.96 for a rent-controlled ground-floor apartment on St. Marks Place in the East Village, which he’s had since the late 1970s, when the rent was about $275.
