‘We made sure he didn't get anything’: Landlord declares tenants' company equipment as his own after evicting them

‘We made sure he didn't get anything’: Landlord declares tenants' company equipment as his own after evicting them

I wonder what goes on in landlords' heads when they evict somebody. Do they think about what the grueling process might be like for the evictees? Do they feel sorry for them? Or do they think that they deserved it? Whatever the case may be, I find it intriguing. This landlord attempted to take advantage of his tenants by evicting them with 7 days' notice. He reminded them that any and all equipment that they would be unable to bring with them in that time period would legally become his own. To…

'They say it's lowering property values': Homeowners share their worst HOA horror stories

No matter how gorgeous the house is, be careful getting a place where HOAs rule the land. These people are sharing their own cautionary tales in this video below. HOAs, which stands for Home Owner's Associations, are groups of elected individuals who make rules to keep a neighborhood looking its best. However, these can quickly get out of hand. Instead of making common sense rules or helping people in need, HOAs seem to basically exist to make a home owner's life a living nightmare. Once you se…

'You can't claim residence when you don't pay rent': Karen tenant refuses to pay rent, roommate submits paperwork to get her evicted

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…

'I got my neighbor evicted': Grad student snitches on his noisy neighbor to the HOA, getting him evicted as revenge for ruining his peace

Nobody likes an unreasonably noisy neighbor. Renters with thin walls and even thinner patience have struggled for millennia against inconsiderate neighbors and there's a point that they start to think that the neighborhood is simply improved with the surgical removal of disruptive folks. One grad student spent one too many sleepless nights with rage in his heart that he finally took (semi unethical) action against his neighbor...

'I'm not feeling safe in my own apartment': Cheapskate landlord gets fined $10,000 for jerry-rigging electrical instead of replacing a faulty stove after endangered tenant reported it to the fire department

'I'm not feeling safe in my own apartment': Cheapskate landlord gets fined $10,000 for jerry-rigging electrical instead of replacing a faulty stove after endangered tenant reported it to the fire department

One of the few benefits of being a renter is that you are not responsible for maintaining a property's upkeep. However, that is simultaneously a huge downside if you have a chintzy landlord. If your unskilled landlord is a cheap, do-it-yourself type, you might find yourself constantly smelling methane gas, putting putty over leaks, and watching him paint over holes in the wall.

AITA: 'I evicted them': Landlord evicts young couple with baby following noise complaints from neighbors, gives them 30 days to move

AITA: 'I evicted them': Landlord evicts young couple with baby following noise complaints from neighbors, gives them 30 days to move

A landlord took to Reddit, asking their opinion on the fact he evicted new parents, giving them only 30 days to skedaddle. His reasoning was that their new baby made a lot of noise, and the neighbors had begun to complain. Is it insensitive? Yes. Is it illegal? We would think so, but apparently, he doesn't live in the US, and stated that it was actually completely legal for him to do so, as it landed under some sort of ‘noise pollution’ category. Babies are noisy creatures, duh. They cry, babbl…

AITA: 'He found out when he was served an eviction notice': Immature brother expects family freebies after avoiding paying rent to his brother for months, older sibling sells the house in retaliation, family drama ensues

There's a reason that people wear stupid masks to cover their identity when they accept lottery winnings on public broadcast. It's simple– they don't want their family knowing that they're overnight billionaires. For some reason, people think that they're entitled to a portion of any family member's financial success just because you're related.

‘They Threatened Me With Eviction’ : Man Installs Personal Doorbell Cameras in Violation to (Hypocritical) Condo Board Rules, They Swiftly Come After Him, Neighborly Revenge Ensues

‘They Threatened Me With Eviction’ : Man Installs Personal Doorbell Cameras in Violation to (Hypocritical) Condo Board Rules, They Swiftly Come After Him, Neighborly Revenge Ensues

Dumb rules were meant to be broken. Everyone has a right to feel safe in their own home and going by that logic, it seems fair that whoever wants to install a personal doorbell camera should be allowed to do so. Unfortunately, some building boards don't have the brightest or most empathetic members, causing the tenants' lives to become somewhat difficult. If the Kens and Karens of the board refuse to listen to reason and adjust the bylaws…you can always try to make their life challenging. It ma…
