This Online Group Is Dedicated To Shaming Greedy And Delusional Landlords, And Here Are Their 40 Best Posts
If you've ever lived in a rented apartment, you know the drill. Mold is sneaking out from the corner of your bedroom? Call the landlord. Your only hot water source for the past week has been a kettle? Call the proprietor. But often, it sounds easier said than done.
Not only are landladies and landlords notorious offenders in not picking up the phone when you need them the most, they are also sometimes known for “look at all these property problems, I don’t give a damn.” Spoilers: zero damns given.
So no wonder many tenants are taking photo evidence as their last resort in a fight to make their houses somewhat more livable. And the corner of Reddit called LandlordLove [sarcasm detected] documents the most troubling cases of "leeching landlords" in hopes to "abolish the archaic practice of landlording where housing is not considered a right but a privilege to be paid for."
Of course, troublesome tenant and landlord dynamics don’t end there. Sometimes, the former are not innocent either when refusing to pay rent or subletting their couch to some random dude at uni. And although we may never find the truth, we can at least take a glimpse into what it takes.
Psst! More examples of how some landlords neglect their tenants can be find in our previous post right here.

But they're your pets, you take care of them and if you don't like them anymore it's your responsibility to get them out of the house to a good new home! -- Landlord
As if the communication between landlords and tenants wasn’t hard enough already, the worldwide pandemic has put an extra strain on it. In a previous in-depth interview with Bored Panda, Joshua Browder, the CEO of DoNotPay, which is the world’s first robot lawyer, explained more about the current situation in the US.
“Landlords are straining their relationship because they are desperate. Across the world, there are laws in place that prevent evictions and allow tenants to get an extension on their rent.” According to Joshua, “landlords are using extraordinary tactics, including even checking a tenant's tax refund with the IRS, to get a payment.”

"The hot water is broken" may also mean that the piping is broken and hot water is running everywhere. "How" is a legit question. Also, a better way to describe the situation with words is, "there's no hot water, it's running but it's cold".
𝔎𝔯𝔯𝔶𝔭𝔱𝔬𝔫 4 years ago
This doesn't belong here. This is not an example of "landlord being a jerk"; rather, a case of "tenant expresses himself poorly". If you say "hot water is broken" the natural interpretation is that some part of the installation (the tap, some tube or valve, etc.) is broken. If you mean that the hot water isn't hot, say something to that sense, like in the last line ("the hot water is not hot" or "there's no hot water").
Gerry Higgins 4 years ago
My tenants do this crap all the time. "My {insert} is broke" ... How about some info? Is it the hot water handle that broke? Is the hot water dripping and won't shut off ? Or is there no hot water coming through? Information Sharing is key.
In addition to common property problems that don’t always get sorted with one phone call, many tenants are feeling pressured to pay up during quarantine. However, Joshua suggested that tenants ignore the pressure since “There is nothing the landlord can do and they are best by not responding.”
“If the landlord keeps messaging or visiting the tenant, then they should document these actions and may even have the basis for a harassment claim.”

This was a shared house, he rented a room in the house that the landlord lived in. The landlord knew he was high risk because of his job. He hid he was sick from his landlord and landlord locked him out because he did not want to get sick. Same laws to not apply for lodger situations like this and eviction bans do not apply either.

I've only been lucky with one tenant who get her full deposit back. The most troublesome one was the family that sub-let the rooms and duplicated the keys but "cannot remember" where they are. The husband even tried to argue it was within his right to do so when the tenancy contract clearly stated otherwise. I had to change every lock to make sure the next tenant don't get robbed because there were keys out there. Their deposit barely covered that.

The job comment was rude and uncalled for. For most small landlords who own investment properties (houses) or rent space in their own house, this is their job or a major source of income! They still have to pay the mortgage, insurance, taxes, utilities and maintenance of the space isn't rented. Most lease's allow for a landlord to show the space three months prior to the termination of the lease so that the place has a better chance of being rented quicker. It can be quite costly to have an unrented apartment. I understand situations change, but the renter in this case should be apologetic not snarky.
King Joffrey 4 years ago
To be honest, this is not as clear cut as the other ones. You usually have a notice period in which you have to notify the landlord you will not be extending the lease, if the renter left it right until the last minute, this isn't fair on the landlord.

Josh expects landlords to be much more compliant in order to “keep the tenant for the longer term.” This may change some of their common tactics like charging a late fee if the tenant was unable to pay their rent on time. However, these are just forecasts and the overall dynamics may well stay just as problematic.

I used to have electric heating in the apartment I lived in and had to pay the hydro bill. The landlord ran a business in the bottom part of the building.

There were two other rooms that our landlord wanted to rent and she really did invite the tours just at any time without telling us. She also had some bit of repairs so random workers could be bangin at our door (to the room, already being inside the flat!) to get some info from us or to ask if they could have a coffee x'D At least our room had its own lock so we could be safely naked there x'D Well there weren't really that many tours since no student would need to rent a room in the summer holidays so it wasn't even as much as like 10 tours in all two months, so wasn't that bad and we had whole flat to ourselves ridiculously cheap. And were ready for a lease for another year. We were kinda poor back then so it worked.

Landlord Decided To Turn Down The Heat Today In My Mn Apartment As It Reached -40°. But The Idiot Must Have Forgotten He Pays My Electric And Doesn't Realize That I Value My Comfort Over Safety Or Energy Conservation

Any Tips On Making A Couple Homeless Before Christmas

Air Bnb has been devastating in many cities - these a**holes are buying up rental properties just to Air Bnb them and people who really need a rental home are being locked out of the market. Even apartments in big buildings/complexes can be rented & used for Air Bnb - pay 1k/month rent, figure the utility cost, divide by 4 weeks/month, add a bit for profit and bam - put it on Air Bnb. I have no sympany for these Air Bnb jacka**es.

There is actually a good and ethical way to go about this. Sometimes the need arises to empty out a rental for one reason or another. Buying them out of their lease agreement or just simply asking if they would want out of their current lease may have been an appropriate course of action. To do so for an air bnb is kind of nonsense though.

He's an asshole, but it's not short term profit. With long term tenants he can only raise the rent ever so often - renting to tourists he can charge whatever people are willing to pay at the moment. He has much more control over the property, and can change back when it's not working out. That's why landlords all over the world use this filthy tactic.

In the Uk if your property value goes up, it may put you in a different council tax band so if it was here, and the rental agreement included the landlord paying council tax/bills then its reasonable to expect the rent to go up a bit too.

You are correct. The tribe of Levi (the Levites) were assigned to work in the temple. The other tribes were to give a tithe of 10% to provide for their care since they were serving everyone and did not have an inheritance of land like the other tribes did. It has literally nothing to do with a landlord raising rents. Actually, the opposite is the case - the law had severe things to say about people who were lenders or landlords or in positions of power who abused those under their power.

Years ago my ex and I owned rental property. We were living almost paycheck to paycheck. Just two months without receiving rent would take every penny we had.

Yes, meaning if a tenant can not afford to pay rent, they can continue to occupy the apartment, cutting off a stream of revenue for the owner who must continue to pay the expenses of the unit. Income decreases, expenses stay the same

Hah! I Took Advantage Of A Woman In The Middle Of A Divorce By Overcharging For A Human Right Even More Exorbitantly Than I Usually Do
M O'Connell 4 years ago
This isn't 'taking advantage of someone.' Leases are usually year-long because of the almost automatic expenses of time and cash encountered when changing over tenants. Short-term leases cost more per-month for the convenience of a short term.

So, according to all the comments here, one side of the story is all we need to incite violence? Sounds legit. Now, I'm not saying Paige might not be completely right. I'm saying we don't know. There's no context. What if Paige had taken Mike's cute lil pug puppy and turned it in to the pound, and Mike's response is not to evict Puppy Pilfering Paige, but to leave a note reminding her about rent. And sure, adding a little flavor to express his feelings about his pooch. Maybe BP is getting a little too mob minded if we're all assuming guilt based on occupation.

Landlord Allows Tenant To Steal From Recently Evicted Neighbour
Spork420 4 years ago
It depends on the situation really. I'm pretty sure a certain amount of time has to pass, and then the landlord posts a public notice in like a newspaper. After that, your abandoned stuff can be thrown out, put outside, given away, etc.

In some places this is perfectly legal. Once the tenant is evicted, anything left behind belongs to the landlord. In some places, they have to wait a certain period of time before the abandoned property reverts to the landlord. If the law says these items belong to the landlord, the landlord has a right to give it to other tenants.

M O'Connell 4 years ago
Allowing that is part of a standard lease agreement. I never did though, except when they requested that I come and fix something. In hindsight I wish I did though, because people failed to tell me about problems which were damaging the property. If they told me the dishwasher leaked I would have come and fixed it, instead they didn't and let it leak for months and months which I only discovered when they moved out. Their deposit covered less than half of the damage.

This list is appalling. HOWEVER, I do think there should have been some thought put into rent freezes - were there also mortgage payment freezes? At least in the UK, few landlords own the rented property absolutely outright (look up buy-to-let mortgages). So the landlord still has expenses that need to be covered as well. It's no good to the tenant if the landlord cannot make the mortgage payment and the bank forecloses - the tenant still ends up homeless. Rent increases just to line a landlord's pocket should be outlawed, and if they don't look after the maintenance of the property (as contractually obligated) the tenant should be entitled to compensation for their rent. And security deposits should be returned if the property is still in a livable condition. There need to be protections in both directions - not for nothing are there shows about slum landlords and tenants from hell
