housing

People that assume other people aren't carrying on with meaningful and incredibly helpful professions just because they didn't go get that college education are something else, man. This particular roommate got a swift reality check after making some disrespectful remarks pointed toward the fee that the plumber charged to come through and clean up their literal sh*t. The moral judges of Reddit's AITA in this thread are in agreement that the classist roommate was the one who was out of bounds in this scenario. 

If you're not prioritizing your own needs, then people are bound to take advantage of that and walk all over you. When it comes to maintaining the balance in the fragile ecosystem that can be an apartment/house with younger roomies, it can end up being a bit of a struggle. Dramas can break out at a moment's notice, and if people aren't committed to playing nice with one another, you can find yourself in some real hot water. In terms of the scenario we have here, it seems like the woman's decision to move on out of the place was totally warranted. 

An unfortunate many of us have ended up in the middle of a nerve-racking scenario, where we're hearing strange, unnerving noises come from some part of the home, with no idea what could be causing it. Or, even worse, the rampant imagination runs along at a maddening pace, and dreams up some terrible hypothetical situation that you end up believing. We're just glad that it all worked out for this person. 

Anyone who has ever moved into a new place knows that the experience can be marked by a bit of stress over what your new neighbors are going to be like. It can be a bit of a gamble. Sometimes, you think you're moving into a place next to a perfectly reasonable human being, and then come to find out that they're nothing short of a waking nightmare. The folks that are featured in this collection of ridiculous posts on the infamous Nextdoorneighbor app seem like they could be quite the handful. 

There are way too many sleazy landlords trying to pull a fast one on unsuspecting tenants out there. It seems like we're regularly coming across revenge stories involving one tenant taking their righteous revenge on a landlord who misplaced their moral compass. Enough is enough. Maybe if more people approach their sketchy landlords like the dude in this post, other landlords would be inspired to change their ways. Check out another landlord revenge story with this property manager who wouldn't return a security deposit, and then the pro revenge that ensued. 

Nothing quite warms our hearts like a tyrannical, shady, and genuinely mean Karen getting it in the end. This particular Karen was enforcing the rules while she wasn't abiding by the most important ones herself. This ultimately manifests in Karen's self destruction. Sounds like she lost everything. This revenge is borderline nuclear. 

This landlord thought they'd get away with trying to sell their tenants' equipment to their competitors, but they ended up failing miserably. Good on the business for fighting back, managing to get rid of everything in seven days. There's just a strange kind of joy that comes from knowing that landlord must've been absolutely miserable. 

Man oh man, the entitlement is out in full form in this scenario. We have a boyfriend who expects to be able to pay less on bills just because he proceeded to make an irrational purchase. Well, it seems as if a wakeup call was in order for this guy. The moral judges of Reddit's AITA community were in collective agreement that the boyfriend was out of line. 

Some landlords are way worse than others. Honestly, all these stories about tyrannical and shady landlords that we're seeing should serve as a collective reminder to always figure out your landlord's vibe before you move into a new place. This tenant sounds like they were dealing with just a bit of an invasive landlord situation. Fortunately, they kept their wits about them, and were able to carry out a successful, hilarious little petty revenge.

Um, so this feels like it's right out of a horror movie. It somehow gets creepier as the storyline progresses, and we get a taste of what's behind the bathroom mirror in this New Yorker's apartment. You're not alone if you're feeling inspired to inspect the space behind your bathroom mirror(s) now. 

We're all about this surge in ridiculous housing listings. We were just celebrating what might be one of the worst listings we've come across in a long time, but now we have this gem that's brimming with promise. You've got to love the time and effort that this dude put into spicing up an otherwise uneventful housing listing. Hopefully mom was sold on the place. 

This isn't the first time that we've seen some neighbors end up acting like inconsiderate human beings, and we're certain that it won't be the last. You just never really know if you're going to end up living next to a waking nightmare or not. Or, if you don't end up with some terrible neighbors, maybe you'll end up having to deal with a lousy landlord. From there, the ball can end up being in your court, and it's your decision whether or not it's time for the pro revenge. 

Just when we thought we'd seen it all, we come across a listing for a "home" that looks anything but hospitable to its residents. We can only imagine what kind of gauntlet the realtor tasked with trying to sell this place has had to run. Like, what about this place, literally anything at all, would inspire a human being to put the offer down? I guess it could be a wonderfully difficult project if you wanted to try and flip it? The monstrous abode clearly needs some tender loving care. 

It's stories like this that serve as a solid reminder in the importance of knowing your rights as a tenant. There are an unfortunate amount of landlords out there that either have no idea what they're doing when it comes to playing by the rules of the law, or they're just shady and trying to pull a fast one on an unsuspecting tenant. Fortunately, this landlord tale ends well for the tenant involved. 

Check out some more juicy landlord drama with this landlord who tried to scam their tenants for $80 and ended up paying $6K. 

Unfortunately many of us have had the unfortunate experience of realizing that we're living with a complete animal. Some people are terribly talented at hiding their crappy behavior from the world, and you can end up learning you're living with a waking nightmare when it's already too late. Hopefully none of these gnarly moments from people's worst roommates remind you of any of your experiences.
