apartment

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.

It's little recaps from rightfully disgruntled tenants like these that end up giving the landlords of the world a bad rap. It could be gnarly cases of landlords going on power trips, thinking that they can get away with just about anything; or just genuinely immoral people being put in a position of power. We're not sure. Probably a bit of both. Hopefully none of these frustrating stories from tenants ring a bell. 

It's entitled human beings like this that give the rest of the world's hard working landlords a bad rap. This landlord was pulling all kinds of criminal stunts. Not only that, but he refused to pay for the building's electricity during the icy heart of winter. That's just wrong, man. Fortunately, there was a moral enforcer around who was ready to do the research necessary to take this landlord down. By the end of it, the dude ended up owing thousands, and it sounds like that was completely justified. 

Man, it's stories of pro revenge like this one that end up giving landlords a truly bad rap. This particular landlord decided to get real shady when it came time to pay back their tenant's security deposit. They tried to pull the old ghosting move. Well, that certainly backfired completely for the landlord. After a little research the tenant was able to determine that there was no way their landlord would come out on top in the situation. Must've been real sweet getting to triple that original security deposit. Check out some more landlord drama with this man who took a nuclear revenge on a Karen landlord.

This landlord thought they'd just go and keep another unprepared tenant's security deposit. Apparently, mean landlord's tactic was to just hire a lawyer, and then proceed to bump up tenant's claim to a higher court. Unfortunately, this strategy proved successful for them for far too long. Fortunately, we've got this petty revenge success story from a tenant who beat them at their own game.

Man, nothing is worse than realizing you've ended up sharing a roof with a completely terrible roommate. In this case, we've got a horribly smug roommate who simply refused to pay their rent. Well, they clearly didn't anticipate the fallout that'd eventually ensue back in court. Hopefully they learned their lesson, and won't go and try to pull this ridiculous stunt again.

Enough of all the landlords in the world trying to take advantage of their kindhearted tenants just trying to plant their roots. Seriously, this landlord thought they'd be able to pull a fast one on the tenant and raise their rent by $500 just because they knew the tenant had the money to pay that. Fortunately, the landlord was stopped in their tracks. 

At its core this whole dramatic scenario sound like the sloppy manifestation of a nasty breakup. One person ends up moving out and the other ex-boyfriend swings low by having a ton of people move in that basically pay his way, while his ex has to make full payments on the rent. So, his ex reported him to the landlord, and he was screwed from there. Just a textbook petty revenge between a bitter couple of ex lovers.

Man, any time we see a landlord try to pull a fast one on a tenant, and then the tenant proceeds to teach them a lesson, it warms our hearts. In this case, it really just seems like the landlord didn't expect the tenant to do their research. From there, soon as the truth came to light, you can pick up the clear scent of resignation from the landlord trying to continue onward with their antics. Check out another time a shady landlord was defeated by a moral enforcer.

Nothing melts our hearts like seeing an evil and maniacal landlord get righteously taken down by a tenant who simply had enough of their BS. It sounds like this particular landlord was a waking nightmare. Like, my dude, you cannot walk into a tenant's apartment without giving notice. There are laws in this strange existence that we call our own. 

Man oh man, inconsiderate neighbors are just the kind of thing that can drive the most rational, even keeled folks over the edge. Especially if you approach their antics with kindness and try to play nice, and they throw it right back in your face. Fortunately, this tenant was able to take the kind of successful petty revenge that resulted in their neighbors getting penalized with a righteous fine. Job well done. 

Sometimes, the best course of action when you realize that a landlord or real estate agent is going shady on you, and trying to pull the bait and switch, is to do nothing at all. This couple certainly got their vengeance, and we're glad to see that everything worked out for them on their housing hunt. The only way that they could've made this revenge any sweeter would've been to have sent a couple friends in their place to "sign the lease", only to back out at the last second. 

Man, we're not even sure who is worse in this equation: Wendy or the scumbag property management company. They let that place devolve into a complete mess of a housing situation. At least Wendy learned her lesson in the value of playing nice with everyone, and not doing something terrible like trying to scam a tenant out of thousands of dollars. 

This Twitter thread from @calebsaysthings captures that unforgettable, teeth-grinding frustration that many tenants have had with trying to navigate apartment problems with landlords that are terrible communicators. It's just the worst. 

Freeloaders are swinging way outside of their weight class when they try to take on the hard working people of this world. These folks clearly had some grit, and were not going to get pushed around by a tenant who was just trying to squat on their property for as long as she could milk it. Fortunately, the court system provided a smooth resolution to the infuriating predicament. 

We have no idea what dark force compels the scummy landlords of the world to walk around stirring up trouble, and acting like they don't have to play the rules like the rest of us. Especially when it comes to respecting tenants' rights. So, any time we see the tenant pull through with the righteous victory our hearts melt in satisfaction.
