Relationships with landlords are often rocky, unstable, and riddled with undertones of ego, making it difficult to solve issues when they inevitably arise. In this case, OP was living in a large old Victorian house that was converted into about 4-5 individual apartments. The issue that arose was an exhaust pipe that was melting away thanks to the landlord's incompetence when he was installing the HVAC system. The landlord hadn't called a professional, opting instead to do it all by himself. Whe…

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

Tenant and landlord relationships can be strained, but when there is a third party involved, the simplest of predicaments can get ugly. OP was renting a house in Northern Europe, and his landlord was living abroad at the time, meaning that any mishaps were to be discussed with his landlord's lawyer, who was in charge of legalities. One day, OP's boiler broke, so OP contacted his landlord, but to his avail, there was no answer. After the temperature dropped to 7 degrees Celcius in his house, OP…

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

Landlords can be pretty shady and as a renter, it's frustrating when their sketchiness goes unnoticed. Tenants almost always take losses when moving from apartment to apartment because landlords refuse to take responsibility for their properties. Well, one man finally stood up to his landlord who was stealing security deposits from everyone in the building, planning to plant traps to create as much damage as possible in his apartment before moving out. If he can't get his deposit back, he's goi…

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

This guy is lucky to have a girlfriend with this kind of initiative! She discovered that four adjacent units in their building were being used as an AirBnB ring against management rules. Speaking of management, how did the leasing office not figure this out on its own? Especially when these four units were rented under the same name and there was a constant flow of guests coming and going. Do your jobs, people!

It doesn't get more satisfying than shutting down your landlord.

Dealing with a roommate can sometimes be the most difficult part of navigating college life. On top of that, you're constantly battling internal struggles like taking the right classes for your major, eating enough dinner before hitting the bars, and the tried and true favorite– grappling with the daily pressures of putting a stripper pole in your living room.

Imagine this being your long-awaited family vacation.

Proving your landlord wrong is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As we all know, the rental market is ruthless right now, and this apartment manager tried to take advantage of their tenants as a result. What they didn't realize was that this one tenant was thorough and precise about what they signed in their initial agreement. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/Apartmentliving subreddit by u/Mundane_Tension369 , and let the original poster's email correspondence serve as evidence that you too…

I can't imagine having to share a thermostat with crazy neighbors.

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.

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…

Some people's pursuit of unchecked control and profit causes them to make shortsighted blunders. At least their own greed and stupidity are holding them back because these people's constant manipulation of legal loopholes and leeching off societal virtue means that they otherwise are getting a leg up on the rest of us. Enter stage right: Landlords—a group infamous for their corner-cutting, profit-seeking, and below-the-belt tactics. It should be no surprise that a landlord made such a decidedly…

A landlord turned wannabe-influencer is getting backlash for trying to double his tenants rent, then posting it for views.
