Well, he's paying $350/month. You won't find an apartment for that price in any city in the US.
The conditions aren't "horrid" ---- it's not like his walls are falling down or there is a rat/roach infestation. It's merely a construction zone and is dirty and noisy.

Well, that and his water/utilities were turned off at one point. He was bringing water up in buckets.
You wouldn't do that for a $350 apartment in a hot neighborhood in Manhattan? Honestly since the apartment is in prime downtown Manhattan I would've held out for a low 100k payout and find another apartment elsewhere, perhaps Brooklyn or Upper Manhattan. Most landlords won't turn down 1-2 years rent paid upfront.

even with a 100k payout, that money would be gone in 5-6 years with the rent he'd be paying elsewhere.
Maybe more like 3-4 years since the 100k would be taxed and he'd only see 60k or so.

No, I rather not be in the situation where living in a $350 apartment is that important to me.
Sheeeyit!.... He's not going to let that go without a fight. What a lot of people with family spend on groceries he is spending on monthly rent.
