Karen roommates are a dime a dozen, as almost everyone has had to deal with somebody who lacks basic practical skills and human decency. In this case, OP was sharing a two-bedroom with a roommate who he quickly found out was a Karen. Thriving on conflict, Karen always found something wrong to point out. She has given herself one hundred different labels, some of which include being a germaphobe, which she uses as an excuse to demand OP touch nothing… in his own home. OP said he was willing to t…

A $25 per month bill inspired this woman to get creative with her parking spot. It's great to have an apartment building where you can park your car in a garage or a parking lot. It saves you the hassle of having to fight for a spot, and if you can park indoors, you'll never have to wipe snow and ice off your vehicle again. And don't even get me started about having to move your car when the street cleaner comes around, which some cities make you do monthly. Yes, there's a lot of be gained from…

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.

We've all had a situation like this before but perhaps the results were less drastic.

This guy is unbelievable — he doesn't even know his neighbor's name , yet he wants her to cook for him? On the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit, there are dozens of posts each day where people try to ascertain if they're a jerk or not. While there's usually some nuance to these scenarios, this guy is just a massive jerk, and he ended up getting told as much by a bajillion commenters. As u/AwayPerformer wrote, he's a single 31 year old living in an apartment complex, and he recently got a new neighbor…

If the mooching friend is there more than someone who is actually on the lease, it's definitely a problem.

Three cats and one crazy cat lady is a big ask.

Every so often, you come across a landlord tale that actually turns out alright for the tenant in the end. This update was posted to Reddit's r/LandlordLove subreddit by u/Upbeat-Poem-1284 , who shared that after putting in several requests for almost a year and after several attempts at completing those repairs went wrong (see the original poster for details), the Redditor and their roommate decided to stop paying rent. According to OP, it is within the tenant's rights in their city to withhol…

We have all had to deal with having to deal with a roommate's significant other.

Well, if this tenant is pursuing a case, he certainly has enough evidence.

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.

There's nothing like having to work with your enemy!

When signing a lease for an apartment, it seems a reasonable ask and a fundamental part of the contract to receive an actual room with a door for basic privacy reasons. Apparently, this is not always the case, and some people settle for living conditions that you wouldn't wish upon your Karen coworker. OP convinced her friend to come live with her in a 'cheap' apartment and to pay 50% of the rent, despite giving her friend a bed in the living room. OP said that a divider was a good enough means…

There's nothing like reading about apartment drama to make you feel better about your situation.

Ah, the homes we come across on Zillow...

There is nothing more ridiculous than writing a check for two cents!
