Grisly discovery in Phoenix

In a scene that could have been snatched right out of a horror movie,a corpse was discovered "buried" in a dirt-filled bathtub in an apartment building unit.After the rent stopped coming in august,the owners assumed it had been abandoned and they recently hired other tenants to clean the unit.They discovered it filled with rotting garbage and buckets with human waste in them,and then as they removed dirt from the bathroom tub,they find a partially mummified skeleton.The Maricopa County ME says the body has been there at least several years.The body is believed to be that of the lessee of apartment,who moved in back in 1995 and disappeared in 2001.Another man was seen in his apartment and reported by other tenants but the landlord said that the man identified himself as the original tenant and the rent was paid every month up until August of 2008.
What kind of psychopath could live in an apartment for YEARS,going about their business and living in a place where a dead guy is in the bathroom.Hope the killer had another bathroom to wash up in-then again he shat in buckets and left it there,so he isn't the epitome of good hygiene.It reminds me of 2 or 3 different thriller type movies I have seen!
I have one nagging question though...how did his neighbors not smell the odor of a decomposing body not once and report it?
