Are you referring to something like a dormitory or usual building with apartments in it? If it was only a bedsit...

What was the nature of that squalor? Only dirt and extreme untidiness or something more? Was it confined only to his bedsit (it means a room wiith bed, if I am not mistaken?), or he was spreading it to the corridors?

How convenient! He could have accused the agency owning the building also of squalorophobia.

The owner of the agency had a good sense of humour, obviously. Since those words had lost their original meaning long ago.

I doubt it would have been archived today (this happened in the nineties, I guess). Today there would be hordes of activists gathering before the building and hysterically shrieking, denouncing the "injustice" perpetrated against one person belonging to one among the several sacred minorities of the modern society.
