Abstract
Relationships between elderly men and women in the slum hotel are sharply delimited and colored by mutual suspicion and fear of exploitation. For the elderly men, the prostitute is an alternative to intimacy. An impoverishment of social relationships is also characteristic of interaction among the elderly women tenants.Keywords
