Gamer doesn't understand why their loud late-night gaming sessions are upsetting their roommate

As a gamer myself, and having lived with other gamers, once that mechanical keyboard gets clacking and the team call-outs start rolling in intense moments, it's going to be noisy for everyone else around you. With absolute certainty, when you're intently focused on something, you underestimate the amount of noise you're making. In the early hours of the morning, these sounds are amplified by the relative quiet of the world around us. And when you add paper-thin walls to the equation, you're goi…

Entitled tenant gives a month's notice to homeowners, they arrive at the house at the due date, only to find out she hasn't left at all: ‘I pay rent, so I own this house’

Entitled tenant gives a month's notice to homeowners, they arrive at the house at the due date, only to find out she hasn't left at all: ‘I pay rent, so I own this house’

As much as society likes to push people to become homeowners, and keeps emphasizing how important it is to own a property, being a homeowner is also a lot of pain. Especially if you have to rent out the home you own to others. Here at FailBlog, as much as we enjoy judging landlords, we fully understand that being one cannot be easy. That is why sometimes when a dispute arises between a landlord and a tenant, we tend to agree more with the landlord. Take the homeowners in this Reddit story as an…

Karen tries to claim ownership of the place she has been renting for 20 years: 'I pay rent, so I own this house'

Let's face it: paying rent stinks. It's like setting a pile of money on fire every week just for the privilege of surviving and oddly reminiscent of paying mob dues. You have virtually no rights to the home, along with virtually no guarantees, and in a lot of places, you can basically be asked to leave or pay more arbitrarily at virtually any point. Still, if you're fortunate enough to have a place of your own, you'll come to find that you're basically still just renting from the bank anyway, p…

Tenants demand to stop paying rent after discovering their roommate is the landlord, leading to a dispute about how they found out: ‘They went through my mail’

Tenants demand to stop paying rent after discovering their roommate is the landlord, leading to a dispute about how they found out: ‘They went through my mail’

There is a big difference between living with roommates and having a landlord and living with your landlord as a roommate. Nobody wants to do the latter, for starters. Having roommates is hard enough, imagine how unbearable it would be to have your landlord as a roommate, watching over your every move. If you are a landlord, and you are looking for roommates, I would definitely recommend telling them what they are walking into, because they deserve to know. That is what I would tell the girl in…

Woman forced to move out of her apartment after unemployed roommate invited his brother to live with them, resulting in her paying rent and bills alone: ‘I'm done here’

Living with your best friends can go one of two ways – Either extremely great or terribly wrong, and you can assume that most people will tell you that it usually goes the latter way. There is something about sharing a space that is just so specific for everyone involved, that even if you love each other and enjoy each other's company, it does not mean that you will enjoy living together. The main problem is that you will not know until you try, and that is why most people would recommend simpl…

'Everything we did was wrong': Young homeowners get bombarded with HOA violations and fines after relocating for work

When buying a home, you face enough hassle without the HOA making it harder for you. But that's what HOAs are known for — making you miserable. This young couple relocated for work and rented the wife's father's vacation condo while settling in. They absolutely adored the place, and to their surprise, her father offered to sell it significantly below market value. While they suspected this generosity might be fueled by his desire for continued summer visits, they seized the chance to become hom…

While renting, it's generally up to your landlord to maintain the premises and repair anything that breaks. But if you've ever dealt with a landlord, you'll know that they're often reluctant to do so, regarding any such request with disdain and thinly veiled hostility and insinuation at the fact that you're somehow responsible for their 20-year-old dishwasher breaking a week after you moved in. So, over time, you get in the habit of just doing things yourself, even if they're not your responsib…

‘Your condolences don’t pay my rent': Job candidate left floored after hiring manager retracts job offer 1 week before starting date due to company ‘budget changes’

When you get a signed job offer, the last you would expect is that the company would retract it. After all, once you've signed, you put in your two week notice and get busy preparing for your new job. You say goodbye to your boss and coworkers and fully expect to begin on the date that was approved by your hiring manager. If things go wrong, you're going to have a problem… you have bills to pay.
