‘Rent’ guy damn liar

He says the “rent is too damn high,” but gubernatorial candidate Jimmy McMillan becomes damn evasive when asked how much rent he pays for his own Brooklyn apartment.

McMillan, the man with the mutton chops running on The Rent is Too Damn High Party line, became an Internet sensation after delivering funny one-liners during Monday night’s debate.

He told The Post on Tuesday he pays about $800 in monthly rent for his Flatbush home.

And his building superintendent said she hadn’t raised the rent in at least five years.

But he also told The New York Times he’s lived there rent-free for 10 years.

Asked about the discrepancy by The Associated Press, McMillan said he lied to both newspapers.

“I just made stuff up and told them. None of that is true. I’m not a politician. This isn’t about my personal life,” he said.

The lies continued yesterday.

“How much is your rent?” Don Imus asked McMillan on his Fox Business show.

“My rent is about $900 a month — plus my son’s rent,” McMillan, 64, said.

He then backpedaled:

“I’m not telling them the real story about rent.”

The median rent for a one-bedroom in Flatbush is $1,350, according to StreetEasy.com.
