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.

A landlord I had like 10 years ago tried to charge me like $300 for toilet seat wear. Like, dude, that's normal wear and tear, we paid for that with the RENT.

It's especially egregious in the US, but it's common also elsewhere. In most of Europe the renters have some legal protection or recourse, so it's less blatant.

My sister used to be an inspector for a rental agency. During her training at one company, her boss told her to always carry a screw driver with her during final inspections. If the rental property was in perfect condition, she was to unscrew a door handle and claim it “fell off” when she turned it. The company’s unspoken policy was to never return a clients deposit.

Landlord Turned Off Electricity In Middle Of Winter Last Year. My Daughter Was 3 Months Old And Wife Was Sick. Tribunal Hit Her With An $11k Bill

How? I mean, you rent a place, you pay your bills.How has a landlord any saying in it? The companies have contract with you, personally, not your landlord. At least, in normal countries.
Bi.Felicia 6 months ago
Because some landlords include the utilities in your rent amount. I live in a popular tourist destination and many people rent out their house seasonally. Usually from May-October is a summer rental and is rented out at a premium, whereas in the remaining winter months the rent is much less. So with short term rentals it's much easier to keep all the utilities as they are, in the homeowner's name. I hope this helps to explain how something like this could happen, in any country whether normal or not.

The experiences seen in these images are universal. Nearly 3 in 5 (58%) renters have disliked a landlord at some point, according to a 2024 LendingTree survey of more than 2,000 respondents.
Gen X, ages 44 to 59, were the most likely generation to say so, at 61%, while Gen Z, ages 18 to 27, fell on the opposite end of the spectrum, with only 51% having one they didn’t like. (Perhaps because they've simply spent less time out and about.)
The top reasons were maintenance issues (68%), poor communication (53%), and a lack of respect or professionalism (42%), along with issues like rent increases (38%) and privacy violations (22%).

Kabuki Kitsune 6 months ago
In my state in the US, Landlords must itemize and prove EVERYTHING that they keep security deposits for, and it can't just be some random "cleaning", or "painting." They have to provide receipts from reputable companies with an established, and tracible work history. Furthermore, they have to show, down to the last red cent, everything they were charged for the various repairs, or cleaning. They are also legally required to return any excess (so say deposit is 1200, and their cleaning and repairs came to 200 dollars) to the former tenant. Failure to do so within the state specified timeframe of 15 days, the tenant can sue for actual and consequential damages or three months' rent, whichever is greater, plus court costs and attorney's fees. The landlord also forfeits the right to keep any portion of the deposit if they fail to provide an itemized list of deductions within 30 days.
Sue User 6 months ago
When I rented in Oregon, got a move in document ststing sll the existing damage ( small chip in counter, etc ) When moving out two years later, they tried to charge us for several things on the list. Produced the move in list and they were upset. Guess most people lose theirs.

My daughter's landlord wasn't happy to return her deposit. She had rented a house for 10 years before we bought one together. Landlord wants more renters like her.
Niamh_ie 6 months ago
Grateful I live in Scotland where the landlords have a legal duty to pay any tenancy deposit they receive into an approved tenancy deposit scheme to protect deposits until they are due to be repaid. The landlord then has to apply to take any of the deposit and the tenant has the option to refute the claim. This meant the landlord tried to take £400 deposit off my and only succeeded in £50 which I was happy about in the grand scheme of things.

Many many years ago my boss and I were looking for a new place for our small company. We saw an apartment in a great location with, no exageration, an inch of dust. It's been in a brotherly dispute for about 10 years until tgings got settled out. And wenhad an arragement: $100 a minth for a year if we did the renovations. We made our calculations and it was way cheaper than renting another place. So we did it, and in a month had a new place. Deepncleaning took a week, then some renovations like the bathroom (was the biggest expense) Wall painting, floors scrubbing and voilá. After that she gave us a still good deal until we moved somewhere else. We Got a great deal and she got a fine space to rent for a bigger price afterwards. Win-win.

While the vast majority of renters — 82% — say they've never been evicted, 18% have, and of the latter group, more than two-thirds, or 68%, say they were evicted unfairly.
The most common cause of eviction among the survey respondents was not paying rent on time (30%), though almost a quarter (24%) said they were evicted because the landlord wanted to reclaim the property for their own use. Disturbingly, 18% believe they were kicked out due to discrimination.

"If the store owner cannot afford to run the store without you paying for stuff, you are the one providing income to them". This sort of claim is usually from people who have no idea how a business operates. Of course the landlords needs an income to pay for all the costs of buying and operating the building, plus to live on since being a landlord is their job.

If there were no landlords renting homes to people, there'd be fewer homes for people to rent. This does not automatically translate to all people will then buy their own house. I think the real issue is affordability, homes must be fit to live in and tenancy security.

London rent ads are a joke. Sadly this time next year I will be looking again as I took the £45pm hike this year because I had to move 3 times during covid and have just made my current room a really cool place. Apparently I got the smallest increase. Landlords don't realise housemates talk - the last one tried a £100pm hike (east hounslow!!) saying it was the price pre-covid. HMs got £20 - 30 each. Raised that with managing agent, said that's the way it is - would not allow me to speak directly to landlord. So f**k them. Walthamstow rocks.
Almost two-thirds of the surveyed renters 63% believe they're paying fair market value for their property. Still, 37% believe they aren’t — and most renters couldn’t afford much of a hike.
But despite how tight and sometimes unfair things are for renters, most of them — 60% — have never negotiated the terms of their lease.
Others have asked for price changes (22%), lease length changes (14%), or upfront discounts (7%).
As we can see from the pictures, they probably had a legitimate reason for it!

Median 2-bedroom house price for BB was $180k, current is $400k. Average rent for a 2-bedroom apartment (national average and average for high cost-of-living states): BB $1200-$1900, X: 1300-2100. Weekly grocery expense BB: $100 X $175. Annual tuition at public college (min-max): BB $2k-6k X:$10k-40k

Yet another one of these. Folks, not sure if you're aware, but this kind of 'investment' ad? It's not for a rental property. The name "Auction" should clue you in. It's a sale. The details are being presented as-is, with the expectation that a property investor will gut the building and remodel it. The fact that it's claiming it could make 530 in rent, is only after it's been remodeled.
The Goo King 6 months ago
That's how it works. The new owner has to put up all the capital to buy it, fix the leaks, get rid of the termites, repair the damage, replace the fixings and get it all up to a good standard, and then rents it out to make a return on that capital. Without that landlord, it either goes to an owner-occupier (so fewer properties to rent at higher prices) or it falls into disrepair, providing housing to no-one.

Sounds like they want to sell or demo the property and need to get rid of the tenants.

This Should Be Illegal

I think it's the price. $3,200 a month. If that's Australian, it's over $2,000 US a month and the place looks small.

In most places, the new owner would be required to honor the current lease until it expires.

And that folks is a snapshot of the housing situation in Australia. Think carefully before you decide to emigrate. Of course, these entries are from the main population centres which is where everyone wants to live and work. You can of course find cheaper rents in houses in the middle of the Simpson Desert for example

Are there rental properties, or any houses at all in the middle of the Simpson Desert ? I'm sure it would be peaceful there, but a bloody long way to the nearest Coles or Woollies.

The direct cause of why the world is in this situation are policies that funnel money to the wealthy. When America had a strong economic system in place where corporations and the wealthy paid their fair share, the economy and society were thriving. Once Reagan got into office, he reversed that. Money was and is being redistributed towards the 1%. If the tax brackets were the way they were before Reagan, we would have no homeless, everyone would go to college affordably, healthcare would be so much better and cheaper, everyone could afford a house and a car, crime would be far lower, the minimum wage would be at least $35/hour, and so much more in the positive. But things only keep getting worse.

I don't rent, but I sympathise massively with those who do. Most landlords are just leeches. What other "investment" has guaranteed income? Most investments carry risk; the market can go up or down, yet landlords expect their investment to be risk-free. Mortgage rates go up? Rent goes up. It shouldn't work like that. You took a risk on the mortgage, and that risk should be yours alone. The property is still an investment, it's still going to appreciate in value over the long term.

I don't know what your experience of renting is or what country you are in but much of what you have said is simply untrue. I rent two properties out and I resent being called a leech by someone who knows nothing about me. I rent 2, two bedroom houses out for £750 per month each, that is more than the mortgage on those properties but not by much. As well as the mortgage I have to pay estate agent fees, building insurance and landlord insurance to cover things like boiler replacement, structural maintenance and emergency repairs. The income from my properties is almost zero at the moment due to the sharp rise in interest rates. Contrary to what you wrote, I cannot increase the rent I charge when interest rates increase, I can only increase the rent at the end of each tenancy period and I can only raise it in line with the rent increase of social housing, which is set by the current CPI rate of inflation.

One of the rooms in my house is up for rent so I went to see the ad. Feel sorry for potentials when they see the reality, particularly the outside space... or the downstairs bathroom.

Years ago, I was a foreign exchange student in a small American college town, looking for accommodation. One place that I looked at: first of all, the entire house was smelling of cat p**s. One of my potential room mates was showing me around. When we came to my potential room, I found out that it was a mattress on the floor, in the hallway, behind a wall made of cardboard. They wanted a sizeable monthly rent for it.
