Someone on AskReddit asked for people to discuss the most interesting things that they've left behind. As it turns out, some people leave behind some real gems. There's that, and then more sinister things that you'd probably wish you never crossed paths with in the first place.

This tenant decided to take matters into their own hands, regarding a busted A/C situation. As it turns out, their research ended up resulting in a satisfying tidal wave of fines that came crashing back down on the very people that wouldn't fix the thing to begin with. Addressing the concerns of tenants can end up sparing these cheap landlords and property managers in the long run.
Twitter user @calebsaysthings ignited a passionate discussion about just how terrible landlords can be when it comes to addressing tenants' concerns. Nothing quite gets the blood boiling like the experience of trying to navigate a landlord who is a terrible communicator, and never follows through on fixing sh*t that needs fixing in apartments.
As far as pro revenge cases go, this one right here is the perfect combination of someone getting their comeuppance, and the other person getting to right a wrong. In this case, the phony and sketchy lady trying to run the apartment scam got what was coming to her. Apparently she even made it into the local news at one point.
Twitter users are sharing their worst experiences with crappy landlords. Landlords have undoubtedly accumulated a notorious reputation for being shady, and taking advantage of renters that aren't ready for their mind games. At least we all have a place like Twitter to bond over the BS landlords put renters through.
After this guy's horrible subletter tried to stick him and his dog with an absolutely absurd cost of the damages to their apartment, this guy decided to fight back. Sounds like Bob is a complete bastard who's just now realizing he's in over his head. For another rent based drama, here's a tenant who beat their crazy landlord at their game.
Someone on AskReddit asked for landlords to share the dumbest ways they had foolish tenants get evicted. Things like using the fire sprinkler line as a clothesline would seem to be an obvious failure waiting to happen. Unfortunately, some folks are truly clueless as they come. These particular morons got evicted, and they're lucky if that's all they got.
Exes can make life difficult. In some cases, desperate times call for desperate, meticulously timed measures. When this guy's ex-girlfriend was intent on making him pay for most of a year's worth of rent, he struck back in a way that couldn't get him away faster.

It’s no secret that it’s both hard to find and pay for an apartment in New York City. The space gets tighter and the prices get higher.
Which is why is shouldn’t faze anyone that a woman found her neighbor in her wall. That makes sense for New York. What should surprise you is that “inside the wall” isn’t his apartment, it was his access to the roof.
This New York woman, Gyste Margilaj, heard a crash in her kitchen late one evening. When she came to investigate, she could hear a man panting in pain near the vent.
According to Gothamist, “The unnamed man is, according to police sources, Margilaj's new neighbor, who recently moved into an apartment on the fourth floor of the building at East 26th Street. Cops say had been "hanging out" with friends on the roof, as one does on a delightfully frigid January night, when he decided to return to his apartment via an air duct. "Turns out that’s not the way for him to go," a police source dryly told the News.”
Apparently, this guy fell six stories down their shaft only to get stuck in the wall. Like I said, New York City apartments can be hard to find.
