It's easy to blame the landlord in any tenant-related dispute, but every so often, one comes across a story in which the tenant got exactly what he deserved. In this scenario , we have a landlord who rented out a room in his apartment to make some extra money. He covered all utilities and renovated the place so that there was some separation between him and his new tenant. However, after the first month, the tenant started bringing “lady friends” over five to six times a week and would make a t…

Getting in a squabble with your landlords or landladies can be so awkward… U/Corrid21 found that out firsthand when they had to move apartments . As if moving wasn't stressful enough, thanks to all the packing and cleaning you have to do, this person's landlady just can't stop showing up at her apartment to show the property to prospective buyers. This person was wondering if they were in the wrong here for their approach to getting back at the landlady. On the one hand, the landlady does have…

Moving out is a stressful process for anyone, but it can only be made worse when you're leaving on poor terms with your previous landlord. I remember having to leave my first New York apartment for a variety of reasons, one of which was the never-fully-resolved roach infestation issue along with the incessant leaking of our ceiling every time it rained. Despite doing everything in our power to get our property management to take the situation seriously, the conflict was never resolved and could…

Never underestimate your opponent

Imagine being stuck in a situation you have no idea how to get out of, only to have your friends ready to do whatever it takes to help you out. It must be nice knowing you have someone to count on, and someone to call whenever you need a hand. This story, despite being all about revenge on entitled landlords, shows how important it is to have friends who are ready to be at your side and fight for what is yours. OP (original poster) tells the tale of how their friends were supposed to buy a hous…

It's never a good sign when your errant and aloof landlord suddenly takes a keen interest in shaping the place up. In almost every instance, it's likely that this means you're going to be looking for a new place pretty soon as they're either aiming to move back in themselves, renting the place to a relative—or even selling the place and cashing up. They probably won't divulge this to you directly, fearing that advance notice will lose them their income (—you). In the meantime though, there will…

The problem with renting is that no matter how long you've lived somewhere, you never know when your landlord might ask you to leave or serve you a notice to vacate. Outside of maybe some mutual respect, there's really nothing giving you the security that you have when you live in your own home. At that point, only the bank will come after you if you default on your mortgage. Even if you've had a long-standing good relationship, there's no telling when your landlord might flip their switch—as i…

It's hard to respect thy neighbor when thy neighbor is asking for it. Here, we have two Karens living in the neighboring apartment who were practically begging for some petty revenge. Not only did they frequently park their car in such a way that blocked this Redditor's driveway, but also they ignored the numerous attempts and requests for them to amend their behavior. Things escalated pretty quickly when the Redditor found the notes they left for the Karen nuisances back on their doorstep. The…

This is what your rent money goes to

Don't mess with college kids–what they lack in financial resources, they make up for in social alliances.

Clearly, one does not want to mess with this dude's laundry. Anyone who has lived in a building with a shared laundry room knows that there is a certain etiquette that comes with using the laundry machines. On the one hand, one should not immediately remove a neighbor's clothes from the dryer as soon as the cycle is over. One should wait five minutes to see if the neighbor will come pick up their clothes themselves first. On the other hand, one should not leave one's clothes in there forever. T…

Having a fully grown adult crash on your couch for weeks on end can be wildly frustrating. Sure, it's fine for a night or two. Maybe it's even fine for a week if the circumstances behind the situation have been rough. But if you live in a tiny apartment as is and this person becomes nothing more than an inconvenience, then Houston, we have a problem. Now, what about a couch surfer who stays with you for months and repeatedly trashes your place, only to leave a ton of their belongings behind aft…

Let's face it, we're all getting a bit tired of tipping culture. The Girl Scouts at the grocery store want a tip, our cable guy wants a tip, and now it seems that even our landlords want a piece of the gratuity.

Would you rather your house always be too cold , or too hot? Depending on the way your house is heated or cooled, you probably already know your answer. It's hard to get your home to the perfect temperature for everyone, since some people are always wrapping themselves in sweaters, while others are sweating it out. However, these college kids had to experience the worst-case scenario: having a freezing house for a whole winter, and being ignored the whole time. These poor college students just…
