landlord

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. 

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. 

This old landlord refused to play nice and make some repairs for a tenant. They proceed to get reported to the environmental health team, have to sell all their equity, and eventually declare themselves bankrupt to pay for all the fines. Ouch. Should've just done the dang repairs! 

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. 

In all fairness, if you found yourself caught up in a scenario where your landlord was potentially trying to raise the rent with the bible as justification...you'd be a little peeved too. Fortunately, the landlord was in fact agnostic, and just messing around with a friend who was "way too easy to rile up." He got her good. 

Landlords always seem to promise things like working dishwashers and hot water, but sometimes fall short of their ability to provide an adequate living situation in exchange for your cash. Rent is expensive too, so paying a whole lot to live in a place with a terrible landlord who doesn't fix anything is an absolute nightmare. When this woman's boyfriend was being taken advantage of, she stepped in and made it too expensive for the landlord to NOT get the washing machine fixed.

When this shitty landlord refused to fix up some broken windows, it ended up costing him thousands of dollars and his job. This is quite literally a professional revenge. And if you don't know by now, we love a good old-fashioned revenge story here at Fail Blog. There's something so sweet and satisfying about someone getting it in the end, after being a proper asshole. 

This message board's going viral on Twitter, cause it does a brutal job at showing all the messed up ways landlords/property managers prey upon renters. These might confirm your darker suspicions about shady landlords and their true motivations. 

A powerful lesson in not taking a landlord's word for anything. Stand up for yourself! If you're looking for some more satisfying revenge against bully landlords, check out this piece. It is truly something else. 

This bully landlord got absolutely REKT by a tenant that the rest of the world would do well to NOT mess with. What we have here is nothing short of a sweet and satisfying, patient nuclear revenge. We don't anticipate that this scumbag landlord will be messing with anyone else in the future. 

Young people definitely get some interesting criticism in the news, like all the times Millennials have Killed an Industry, so this doesn't seem like much of a departure. In an interview on housing rights in Britain, a news anchor and landlord "reported" that young people don't have the skills to rent, since they don't know how to change lightbulbs or do basic tasks. This ruffled some feathers among young people and tenants.

"Landowner Dennis" has a history of trying to shut down parties, not following through on basic maintenance, and is generally a total buzzkill. After multiple incompetent acts and a final threat, it's time for Dylan to throw down the gauntlet on his annoying and lazy landlord.
