Living with a landlord is like having an RA roommate in college. They’re probably gonna narc on you at some point. We all bend the rules every now and then, as is our right. We have to exercise our own selfishness sometimes, or else it’s going to come out in weird ways. Adults (at least …

‘They want her to pay $45,000 [for repairs]’: Clueless renter facing exorbitant repair fees after destroying the apartment with 1 can of chicken soup
When I went through high school, we didn’t have Home Economics as a required class. Apparently, kitchen etiquette, doing your taxes, and keeping the house under control weren’t things that the public school system still valued, so lo-and-behold, an entire generation went without baking cakes for a final grade. However, the Gen X woman in …

Ingenious tenant uproots garden after landlord increases rent, sweet revenge ensues: ‘Should salt the earth for good measure’
Everyone loves a good revenge story. There’s something so sweet about watching someone fall prey to their deserved comeuppance. Life is so often random and unjust that it’s rare that bad people get what they deserve. Also, how many times have we come up with the perfect comeback… only days later, in the shower? Usually, …

‘In 20 years that I own the property, have not seen such mess inside!!’: High-strung landlord scolds tenant for having a mildly messy apartment
There’s a vast difference between your apartment being mildly messy and being at risk for bugs and mice. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with leaving clean clothes in the laundry basket for a few days or leaving the book you’re reading on the ground.

They feel invincible like they can get away with anything. Tangled in …

If there’s one thing about landlords it’s this: they will attempt to get away with whatever they can. Because they often have nothing to lose.

‘Time to move, I guess’: Careless landlord empties tenant’s fridge, leaving everything to spoil
Your fridge is your sanctuary. It’s where you keep your most precious memories (leftovers) and where you plan your most ambitious visions for the future (fresh produce).

‘We called up our landlord’: Roommates Get Their New Neighbors Evicted in Less Than a Month
Imagine your neighbors are noisy. Not just any kind of noisy, but the vacuuming at 3 am, stomping, and yelling at odd hours kind of noisy. Starting to get the picture?
