landlord

I mean, in all fairness an accidental professional revenge is better than no revenge at all. It seems as if the world's unfortunately never going to run out of shady landlords trying to pull fast ones on unsuspecting tenants. So, I guess it falls on us to read up on those tenant rights, and then clap right on back with pro revenges when the opportunities present themselves. For some more landlord drama check out this tenant who staged a coup d'état on a terrible landlord. 

Man, oh, man, this landlord sounds like they were a waking nightmare. Fortunately, the tenant knew their rights and was able to successfully overthrow the terrible landlord in court, to the tune of a six figure sum. On top of that, the tenant goes on to become the building manager. Talk about a fairytale ending. 

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.

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. 

What is with all these landlords and being so dang stubborn (and criminal) when it comes to returning tenants' rightful deposits? It's like, just do the right thing so that the rest of the antics don't need to occur in the first place. But alas, here we are. This guy successfully took the tyrannical property manager down by setting up a website that ended up getting a whole lot of traffic. Hopefully they kept that site up until the property manager made good on all of the payments. 

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. 

We love a good revenge tale of a shady, cheap landlord getting it in the end. In this case, the landlord tried to rip the tenant off for $400, and they end up having to pay over $6K. Now that is what I'm talking about. 

Man, oh, man, these tenants sound like a nightmare to deal with. The kudos definitely goes to the landlord here. The landlord handles the situation by listening to those malicious compliance chills, and using the very "professional" rules they asked the landlord to follow, to ultimately bring the tenants down. Even after the victory in the small claims court, the landlord exercises self control and doesn't rub it in their faces. Good for her. Love to see a situation where the landlord is actually being the nice human. 

This dude did his due diligence and followed the law to the letter, getting out of a bad deal with striking precision. Living situations can get to be a handful, like these nurses who took revenge on their roommate, or this woman who relocated her garden and upset her landlords.

Man oh man, you just never really know if you're going to end up in a living situation that's hopelessly bogged down by a tyrannical landlord who misplaced their moral compass. Sometimes the relationship between a tenant and their landlord can end up falling apart when it's least expected. This scenario certainly fits that mold. Mary seemed like she was great at the start, but that welcoming facade quickly gave way to the real monster that was hiding out inside. We're just glad everything worked out for the tenant by the end. The look on Mary's face must've been priceless too. 

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. For some more dramatic landlord content check out the time a low-life landlord was dealt justice by a tenant. 

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. 

Realizing that you've moved into a new space overseen by an incapable, wildly inconsiderate landlord is one of the worst realizations to have. You're out there paying all that money to live in a decent enough space, and when something goes wrong, you can't even get your landlord to help you out? No thank you. These dudes found themselves with a landlord who just couldn't seem to get around to replacing their busted mailbox key. So, when the tenant's final day of living in the apartment had arrived, and the landlord was nowhere to be found when it was time for the apartment inspection, the tenant put that house key right in the very mailbox that the landlord hadn't procured the new key for. A simple enough, yet brutally effective petty revenge. Plus, this story's been made all the better by those ridiculous typos. 

Anyone who enjoys seeing sweet justice getting dealt out will get a kick out of this. We have a low-life landlord, who quite simply, gets their comeuppance to the satisfying tune of having to pay up, then having assets at their place of business seized, and then having the same money returned. 

If this landlord revenge got you going, we recommend checking out this story of the landlord who refused to give the tenant back their deposit, so a court revenge followed. Similar in tone, and again, oh so satisfying. 

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. 

Sometimes we find ourselves in awkward situations, especially when it's over a finite resource like parking. There are plenty of times handicapped parking spot hogs need to be taught a lesson, but this situation has a more complex backstory than some rando just illegally occupying a handicapped parking space at the store. The most important thing to do in these situations is to take a step back and think "why am I in this situation?" In this case it seems like the apartment manager may be the one to blame for all this madness.
