A teenager claims she accidentally moved into a retirement village after signing her tenancy agreement without viewing the property.
Madison Kohout, 19, was left puzzled when all of her neighbours appeared to be over the age of 65 after she moved into a flat in Arkansas.
A week later, she stumbled across a sign that explained everything – she is the only teenager living in a community of pensioners.
The nursing assistant, who had moved there from Oklahoma, filmed herself covering her face in embarrassment as she stood next to a ‘Senior Citizens Apartments’ sign.
However, while other teens may crave neighbours their own age, Madison is loving her new neighbourhood as she gets ‘to have extra sets of grandparents’.
In a video update, she said: ‘How is life at the old folks’ home you might ask? Let me show you. When I get home it’s usually always super quiet.
‘Because most of my neighbors are asleep by the time I get home. But one major perk is that I can play music whenever I want to, because some of them can’t hear.
‘Another fun thing about living in the old folks’ home is I can always hear about the tea in town.
‘Another fun thing is whenever I get to come home after a long day, everyone asks me how I’m doing.
‘Anyway that’s how my life is going here at the old folks’ home. And just remember if you’re struggling with rent, start your early retirement.’
When questioned on how a teenager was allowed to move into a retirement village, Madison explained it is equal-opportunity housing that doesn’t discriminate on age, despite being designed for senior citizens.
She told Newsweek the cheap rent was a ‘financial blessing, revealing she pays $350 (£251) a month for a two-bedroom flat.
She said: ‘I plan on staying for quite a while! I absolutely love my neighbors… Never in my entire life did I think I would be living in a retirement home.
‘This is something that I could have never imagined.’
Now there’s a sitcom waiting to happen...
Hopefully she gets evicted.
Yes, it would be quiet, probably quite safe, and also people would mostly be very friendly
I think that’s kinda cool in a way. She can write about all the wisdom the seniors have, the mistakes made, and as she stated, a lot of people caring about her. But some senior could probably use the flat.
That is cheap rent. She can use the money saved to get some treatment for her stupidity
what a maroon.
She says she is actually enjoying it. If she is smart, she’ll go ahead and become a good neighbor and see what she learns, who she meets, etc. This could be a blessing she can’t imagine.
That was undeserved....but funny🤣
There was one years ago called "Morning Star, Evening Star."
Normally these units are age restricted...nobody under 55.
Okay, maybe I’m a bit confused, but if it was really designated Senior Housing wouldn’t a prospective Renter be asked their Age on the Rental Application?
I see a career opportunities. She could drive/ run errands for her neighbors. I know of a couple people that make great money senior sitting in a Fl. retirement community.
“This could be a blessing she can’t imagine.”
Agreed.
Hopefully one of the smartest stupid mistakes she will ever make.
Bet her neighbors are thrilled to have a youngin around them.
I’ve seen where they allow a small percentage (5%) of people outside the targeted group to rent. I noticed the equal opportunity badging on the sign.
If anyone cannot see that this is satire and a lame attempt at copying the Babylon Bee, then...
Just dye your hair blue!
Thanks...
And it’s not the Bee?
