A 54-year-old Massachusetts man lost his home after neighbors petitioned the housing authority over the bad odor he emitted, according to a Local 6 News report.
The Boston Housing Authority told Jack Martin to move two weeks ago after neighbors complained that his body odor was offensive and the smell infested the building. 
"You live in a house and you take it for granted, when it's suddenly taken away from you it makes you feel very downhearted, at least it does me," Martin said.Not all neighbors agreed that Martin should have been told to leave."They kind of kicked him to the curb, that's just not what you're supposed to do," neighbor Judy Flashner said.If Martin cleans up, he will be allowed back into the multiapartment building, according to the report.
