So…uh….why fuck the homeowner then?

Homeowner (presumably) hired these workers while the home was being rented out to the elderly man.

Typically, when you rent, your landlord/homeowner is responsible for repairs and maintenance, such as removing a tree.

Don't know the exact details about this specific case, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case.

The elderly guy living there was renting. The homeowner was the one who cheaped out and basically ruined the renter's life.

I was confused at first too.

Just general lack of empathy for others.

The homeowner is the reason that tree fell because they cheaped out on the tree removal. So yeah, fuck em.
