Grandpa Builds Tallest House in Town for Family, Only to Drain the Equity, Leading to Foreclosure

When buying a property and beginning to build on it, you need a bunch of permits, and the house needs to pass inspection, which won't be possible if you don't build according to country code. But sometimes, if you're smart enough, you can dodge the rules, and make up some of your own. It doesn't always work, but when it does, it's quite something. In this case, OP shared a story about his ‘shady’ grandpa, who according to OP, was a very smart man, but also, not the greatest person in the world.…

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…

property house home military moving military-family karen delusional insane entitled entitled-people reddit creepy neighborhood neighbors army navy kids parents story wholesome happy-ending

'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.

'Buy me a fridge, or I'll fine you': Resident pays neighbor $2,200 for new refrigerator in exchange for property line adjustment after he built a shed on neighbor's fence

Certain neighbors aren't especially keen on acting under your city's local zoning rules and regulations; often you find yourself in a bit of a pickle with people you have to see on a near-daily basis. This neighbor in particular built his shed that was supposed to be at least 10 ft from his OP's property line, right on his property line, a foot off his fence. OP approached this neighbor who had a ready excuse at the tip of his tongue, claiming that because of the slope of his yard and a drainag…

'Bro my rent is $2800, I ain't tipping': Audacious landlords suggest that their tenants should be tipping on top of their rent as a gratuity towards '24/7 services'

To landlords, there are a few easy solutions for every problem. Leak in the ceiling? Paint over it. Hole in the drywall? Paint. Are paint costs getting a little too high? Rent hike– it's time to charge your loyal tenants 15% more every month for nothing. If you've ever been a renter, you know that some landlords (most actually) can be huge jerks.
