If you’re a tenant, chances are that you've had to deal with at least one nightmarish landlord. Whether it’s charging for absurd things like elevator use, jacking up the rent, or ignoring countless requests for routine maintenance, it can be hard to cope with such less than honest property owners. Of course, not all renters are innocent and not all proprietors are unreasonable. But if yours is making your life a living hell, we know just the place where you can share your troubles.

A little corner of Reddit ironically called r/LandlordLove collects the most unsettling cases of grimy landlords and their cheap tricks. As the moderators put it, the subreddit “is a tenant-friendly space meant for posting about both the individual and systemic problems caused by landlordism”.

To tell you more about it, Bored Panda has compiled this list to show you some of the most preposterous stories. Scroll down and tell us in the comments below if you have experienced anything like this.

If you still can’t seem to get enough, be sure to check out our previous posts on landlords' neglect here and here.
