tenant

When confronted with the issue of people locking themselves out of their apartments on the weekends, this manager wanted to avoid paying overtime by passing the burden onto their own tenants. The policy was unpopular. As it so often happens with incompetent managers, their plan backfired.

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.

An unfortunate many of us have ended up in the middle of a nerve-racking scenario, where we're hearing strange, unnerving noises come from some part of the home, with no idea what could be causing it. Or, even worse, the rampant imagination runs along at a maddening pace, and dreams up some terrible hypothetical situation that you end up believing. We're just glad that it all worked out for this person. 

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, 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. 

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 little recaps from rightfully disgruntled tenants like these that end up giving the landlords of the world a bad rap. It could be gnarly cases of landlords going on power trips, thinking that they can get away with just about anything; or just genuinely immoral people being put in a position of power. We're not sure. Probably a bit of both. Hopefully none of these frustrating stories from tenants ring a bell. 

Karen's out for blood after her own kids drew all over her walls. Given a completely reasonable option, she chose to not listen and hound this building supervisor on vacation. That choice netted her nothing but the toddler. For some more outrageous Karen-ness, here's a bridezilla Karen who ended up looking like a Pauper at her own wedding and some more unfortunate times people went full Karen.

Nothing melts our hearts like seeing an evil and maniacal landlord get righteously taken down by a tenant who simply had enough of their BS. It sounds like this particular landlord was a waking nightmare. Like, my dude, you cannot walk into a tenant's apartment without giving notice. There are laws in this strange existence that we call our own. 

Man oh man, inconsiderate neighbors are just the kind of thing that can drive the most rational, even keeled folks over the edge. Especially if you approach their antics with kindness and try to play nice, and they throw it right back in your face. Fortunately, this tenant was able to take the kind of successful petty revenge that resulted in their neighbors getting penalized with a righteous fine. Job well done. 

Man, we're not even sure who is worse in this equation: Wendy or the scumbag property management company. They let that place devolve into a complete mess of a housing situation. At least Wendy learned her lesson in the value of playing nice with everyone, and not doing something terrible like trying to scam a tenant out of thousands of dollars. 

Freeloaders are swinging way outside of their weight class when they try to take on the hard working people of this world. These folks clearly had some grit, and were not going to get pushed around by a tenant who was just trying to squat on their property for as long as she could milk it. Fortunately, the court system provided a smooth resolution to the infuriating predicament. 

What a splendid little example of calling someone's bluff. This landlord was completely unhelpful and thought their threat would let them illegally keep their tenant's security deposit. After getting caught lying in court, this tenant had their ex-landlord eating their stupid words. People sometimes win against their landlords, like this guy who got contractual revenge on his landlord or this person who staged a coup d'etat on their terrible landlord.

There are too many landlords whose amoral ways get them in a heap of trouble. A lot of times their shenanigans is legally dubious and they dig their own grave like this dude who got contractual revenge on his lying landlord. For another landlord one, here's a tenant who staged a coup d'etat on their terrible landlord.
