In this economy, many of us need years and years and years to save up for a down payment for our first home (some might not even get there at all). So, in the meantime, we rent. However, the market is full of overpriced shoeboxes and toxic landlords, swearing their crumbling walls are actually signs of "charming vintage character." To warn each other what to look out for, people are posting the nastiest practices and conditions they’ve encountered online. The subreddit 'Trash Rentals' (whose name we are paraphrasing a little to keep it safe for work) is one of the places that shines a light on just how bad things can get.
