‘You rented out my home’: Landlord Airbnb's tenant's home while he's on vacation, refuses to cover costs of missing items

‘You rented out my home’: Landlord Airbnb's tenant's home while he's on vacation, refuses to cover costs of missing items

When you're on vacation, the last thing you'd imagine happening back in your home is other people living in it, as you continue to pay rent according to your lease. OP went on vacation for a couple of months to spend some time with their family, and when they arrived back home, they immediately realized that someone else had been there… a lot of OP's things were missing, which struck OP as odd, as there was no sign of forced entry. After filing a claim with the police, OP asked around, searchin…

'I took detailed pictures and videos of the apartment when I moved in': Landlord demands extra month's rent on move out, tenant shuts them down

It's unacceptable for landlords, or anyone really, to behave dishonestly in order to extort others from their hard earn cash. Unfortunately, the tenancy and leasing process leaves a lot of grey areas where landlords can do exactly that. Seriously, who thought it was a good idea for there to be a part of the tenancy process where the landlord gets to hold onto a sizable chunk of the tenant’s change and then gets to decide whether or not they want to keep it at the end of the tenancy? That’s like…

'What do you mean she doesn't pay rent?': Woman goes on rent strike after finding out sister doesn't pay a cent

These parents had a great arrangement with their kids regarding rent, until they actually talked about their financial situation . Living with your parents used to be the kind of thing that lots of people only did until they were in their late teens or early twenties. But these days, it's more common than ever to live with your parents well into adulthood. Millennials and Gen Z know this all too well, since both generations are living with their parents way longer than previous generations. Whi…

'Send us a check': Landlord refuses to take $0.02 payment in cash, tenant maliciously complies

Insisting on adherence to process when it does nothing but create an inconvenient obstacle is a tactic that the power-hungry love to wield like a fork at Sunday dinner—and I'm not saying they only use it once a week, but rather that they do so with ravenous vigor. It's silly, really, that someone should make such a big deal out of nothing—but trust anyone who is desperate to justify their existence in this world to do so. When this couple moved from their apartment complex, they received a foll…

Top Landlordiest Landlords Leeching Their Tenants This Week (June 16, 2023)

Landlords are the worst. Those monopolizers that took over entire neighborhoods to exploit us poor folks keep taking two-week vacations instead of fixing the dang toilet seat like we asked them to a month ago. Obviously for most landlords, renters and their well-being is an afterthought. It doesn't matter if there's paint over the door hinges or mold growing in the bathroom, as long as they get that check every month.

A mom is sure she's teaching her daughter the right way to budget money, but her husband and daughter disagree.

'I'm moving out': Woman demands 50% rent payment from roommate despite setting her bed up in living room, roommate moves out

When signing a lease for an apartment, it seems a reasonable ask and a fundamental part of the contract to receive an actual room with a door for basic privacy reasons. Apparently, this is not always the case, and some people settle for living conditions that you wouldn't wish upon your Karen coworker. OP convinced her friend to come live with her in a 'cheap' apartment and to pay 50% of the rent, despite giving her friend a bed in the living room. OP said that a divider was a good enough means…

'This is pretty much theft, so I don't plan on just sitting back with my arms crossed': Tenant gets revenge on shady landlord by planning to boobytrap his apartment before moving

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…

'I'm not feeling safe in my own apartment': Cheapskate landlord gets fined $10,000 for jerry-rigging electrical instead of replacing a faulty stove after endangered tenant reported it to the fire department

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.

There's a reason that people wear stupid masks to cover their identity when they accept lottery winnings on public broadcast. It's simple– they don't want their family knowing that they're overnight billionaires. For some reason, people think that they're entitled to a portion of any family member's financial success just because you're related.

One of the best parts about renting is when you wind up trapped in a terrible house with a useless slug-like landlord, contractually obligated to continue paying a real-life Jabba the Hutt a (significant) portion of your paycheck. At the same time, they do little to ensure they're delivering you a marketable and inhabitable product. In most places, there's only an escape from this entrapment with arduous process or extreme circumstances. Since the landlord often holds a hefty security deposit o…
