New neighbor refuses farmer's trade offer, then gets a surprise when his taxes skyrocket

'City attorney...refuses to work with farmer neighbor': New neighbor refuses farmer's trade offer, becomes infuriated when his taxes skyrocket

This attorney moved from the city to the country without considering the consequences. It's a major life change, as u/USPO-222 writes. Social media often glamorizes life on a farm. On Instagram or Tiktok, people who act “trad” (meaning traditional) show off their relaxing, low-technology life. Some people will share their days of baking fresh bread, doing household chores, or feeding chickens. Farm life is all that stuff, but there's so much more that goes into it, especially for those who have…

'I left the lid open for good measure': Resident gets even with neighbor who kept using their trash can, placing bin by their patio

Every apartment/home comes with a unique set of problems, unless you're Bill Gates, of course. Either your boiler keeps breaking down, your roof is leaking, or a pipe burst. Perhaps you don't have any of the above issues, but your neighbors are an absolute pain to deal with. Well, in that case, join the club… See, I've had a neighbor or two who made it their mission to make my life as miserable as possible, so I can definitely relate to OP, who was fed up with his own neighbor's rude antics. Ye…

‘You pay for what you don’t fix': Landlord refuses to fix mold infestation for college student, leading to $50,000 in fines due to discounting code enforcement citations

Your landlord either constantly pesters you, or you see them once a year when they come to collect the checks; there is no in-between. This landlord in particular was renting out a room to OP (who was in college at the time) among a few others, which happened to be in a wooden house. I'm purposely describing the material of said house, as it becomes an important factor later in the story. Now, when OP initially toured the house, she didn't find anything out of the ordinary. After OP moved in th…

‘You rented out my home’: Landlord Airbnb's tenant's home while he's on vacation, refuses to cover costs of missing items

‘You rented out my home’: Landlord Airbnb's tenant's home while he's on vacation, refuses to cover costs of missing items

When you're on vacation, the last thing you'd imagine happening back in your home is other people living in it, as you continue to pay rent according to your lease. OP went on vacation for a couple of months to spend some time with their family, and when they arrived back home, they immediately realized that someone else had been there… a lot of OP's things were missing, which struck OP as odd, as there was no sign of forced entry. After filing a claim with the police, OP asked around, searchin…

'What do you mean she doesn't pay rent?': Woman goes on rent strike after finding out sister doesn't pay a cent

These parents had a great arrangement with their kids regarding rent, until they actually talked about their financial situation .

But these days, it's more common than ever to live with your parents well into adulthood. Millennials and Gen Z know this all too well, since both generations are living with their parents way longer than previous generations. Whi…

'Get off my property!': Delusional Karen breaks into a military family's garden, threatening to run them out of town to acquire their property; police remove her, justice ensues, and the family lives happily ever after in their forever home

Military kids can all agree that moving sucks. After packing up your belongings for the 15th time before you even hit 8 years of age, the whole process starts to become numbing and the idea of a forever home becomes more of a fantastical dream than a reality. However, for some army brats, their dreams come true when their parents get stationed in a long term, or even forever, location.

Top Landlordiest Landlords Leeching Their Tenants This Week (June 16, 2023)

Landlords are the worst. Those monopolizers that took over entire neighborhoods to exploit us poor folks keep taking two-week vacations instead of fixing the dang toilet seat like we asked them to a month ago. Obviously for most landlords, renters and their well-being is an afterthought. It doesn't matter if there's paint over the door hinges or mold growing in the bathroom, as long as they get that check every month.

'A literal fistfight almost broke out': Man puts a $31 lien on his HOA president's $20 million dollar mansion as petty revenge, preventing him from selling it until his 'debt' is paid

HOA's are a pain in the rear. The idea of an HOA is great– have a collection of live-in leaders get together once a month to improve the building and the property they live in– but nowadays they rarely operate like that. In fact, HOA's are so useless that they can't even do simple upkeep without first lining their pockets for profit. One man decided to take a stand against a crummy HOA board by taking the most epic petty revenge of all time.
