The search for rental housing in the United States has become a real challenge for many Cubans arriving in the country in pursuit of a better future.
This is even more evident when individuals lack legal documents and stable employment, a reality that affects many migrants trying to adapt to life in North America.
This complex scenario has been addressed with humor by Cuban creator Leo, who posted a video on his TikTok account @leoelmasalegre, where he comically portrays the difficulties and high costs that Cubans are facing in this situation.
In the video, available on TikTok, a Cuban is shown trying to find a place to live in the United States. With his characteristic humor, Leo outlines the demands often placed by landlords, who require, among other things, proof of stable employment, credit references, and, in some cases, residency documents—conditions that are difficult to meet for many Cubans newly arriving in the country.
"For Cubans without papers or a stable job, finding a rental here is almost an impossible mission," says one of the comments in the video, echoing the sentiments of a significant portion of the audience.
The humorous portrayal of the situation resonates with the reality faced by many migrants, who must confront rents exceeding a thousand dollars and restrictive clauses that hinder their access to decent housing.
Through this content, Leo uses humor to highlight the challenges faced by the Cuban community abroad, successfully capturing the attention of thousands of users on social media.
Although the tone is humorous, the video also reflects a concerning situation for many migrants, who face not only the challenge of adapting to a new country but also the economic and legal demands of the rental market in the United States.
