This show is about the lengths one woman will go to live rent free in NYC. After her brother-in-law made an offhand comment that he would pay her rent in exchange for a podcast, Nancy knew she had no choice but to take this joke to its logical end point. Begun in 2016 and completed during the isolated days of covid-19 quarantine, David Pays My Rent is a limited run series about all of the crazy stuff that happens when you rent an apartment and the cast of characters you meet along the way.
Four years after this idea was conceived and two years after episode one was completed, we’ve come to the end of the line. What separates the fourth and final episode of David Pays My Rent from the rest is that it was written and recorded in 2020 - and not just in 2020, but also within the past two weeks. This finale episode takes a look at how the absurdities of renting an apartment wait for no person and no pandemic. Back in April, everyone thought that the Covid pandemic would put life on pause. But in these uncertain times, the one thing you can be certain of is that the New York City rental market will always reach unprecedented heights. In today’s episode, we hear a harrowing story of how life and death in the time of Corona can uncover mysteries that were just on the other side of our paper-thin apartment walls.

Episode 3 - Landlords (part II)
When we last left off, our heroines were about to brave the labyrinth of the Philadelphia Small Claims Court system. To wrap up this tale, we follow them through their legal proceedings, a settlement that isn’t too much to write home about and a well-earned victory taco.

Episode 2 - Landlords (part I)
There is no such thing as a good landlord, but god-awful landlords are available in abundance. We've all been without hot water at one point or played the "ground-is-hot-lava-so-your-couch-is-your-new-home" game upon discovering a family of cockroaches under the kitchen sink. In all these times, we are beholden to our landlords, however unreliable they may be. But if you want to feel better about whatever situation you've got going on, listen to the tale of an apartment that was too good to be true and the landlord who ruined it all. You'll want to call your landlord and say "thank you" at the end of this saga.
