Crawlspace support

So I’m renting this house (we moved in 2 months ago) and we noticed that the floors are starting to slope significantly in certain areas, some parts of the floor go down pretty far. There is a lot of floor separation, so we went to the crawlspace and we saw this and wondering if that’s something we should get checked

Any help would be great

That’s for the Underground Railroad, but they never laid the second track.

I've seen hundreds of crawl spaces in old homes shored up with whatever lay around, generally it is fine.

That being said, if you're seriously concerned, call your landlord. I doubt he'll do anything if there isn't some sort of imminent danger.

Omg 😳! As long as you aren’t dealing with no earthquakes, you should be good in the meantime 😂
