30 Unapologetic ‘Vent Your Rent’ Tweets That Expose Some Of The Worst Landlords

This exact same thing happened to me. They assumed i was at work, but i had the night shift and was sleeping when someone was viewing the apartment

Yep something similar for me. My landlord was really shitter I had water dripping from the ceiling right on my stove! I called him many times to have it repared. 1 week later a plumber got inside my appartment without knocking, without any advice, without the landlord himself... The plumber had the keys to my door!! I was naked in my bedroom sleeping. Me and my cat we had a really rough wokeup when I saw a f*****g dude drilling in my kitchen ceiling.

So very wrong.

Why would they even have a key to your apartment?

Barricade the door or put a screw through the door into the jamb.

Why would anyone expect you to be mowing the lawn in December? And, under a foot of snow yet!

SMALL CLAIMS COURT! Surely England has an equivalent.

It happened the same with me in Telford, I was renting a property under housing association and moved out when it was snowing. Got charged for not cutting the grass, under the snow. It's just non sense and there should be tougher regulations in place.

C-R-E-E-P-Y

this happened to me! i had been working at night, and was sleeping in the morning and woke up to him and his wife INSIDE my bedroom because they wanted to talk to me!

My landlady lived on the top floor of a 5 flat. She had keys to everyones apartment. She would go in & root around when no one was home. She also told us we couldn't open windows or have the heater on at certain temperatures or times in the day. Chicago Il USA, 2004.

We have experienced the same, he just drops in for various repairs, and if you dont answer the door for whatever reason, he just uses his key, not my favorite thing.

We had one do that! She showed up when she wanted and looked at what we got mailed and inside our refrigerator and freezer and felt we needed her comments/approval or her choices of products and would question our choices. She would tell us how clean or amount of cleaning in her opinion and other ways and tips on ways to clean and was shocked when the “chemical cabinet” had hardly any chemicals since I used or made them b/c of toddlers. After CPS left we located a new rental property and was able to speak with the tenets and immediately moved, during court she tried justifying her actions b/c we are young and dumb and she didn’t want us to ruin or destroy her property and she had the right until we turned 40 our voices didn’t matter and got pissed at judge’s decision and information given on her illegal behavior. Her husband removed her access to houses after we won the case

That was either a death threat or a suicide suggestion...

Some people are just cruel

Mine said I shouldn't dry clothes inside. Yet they have provided me with just a washer. At one point there were mushrooms growing

Yeah...he really doesn't understand science, does he?

Ok first of all, he is talking you to not breathe, which is insanely stupid. Second of all, in your SLEEP. 3rd of all, HE NEEDS TO FIX THE MOLD

I'm beginning to think that the health care system in america is not the only thing that's broken. Why on earth would you pay full rent for this!?

When it is a dangerous or unhealthy situation, 1) document with text,email, photos, especially photos 2) pay a few bucks to an attorney, have him write a letter detailing the issue, stating that no rent will be paid until the issue is fixed 3) set aside each months rent into a trust fund at your bank, DO NOT give it to your landlord yet 4) Only after the issue is fixed pay rent 5) Hang onto ALL documentation. If it took more than 2-4 weeks, or less, depending on the issue, you should be able to take them to small claims for a portion or all of that rent back. Above all DOCUMENT. Even if you move, you may need it if he decides to sue you for anything such as breaking lease, or to get your security deposit back. The attorney fee should run between $50-$200, depending on where you live/who you go to

Can we tag some #probono #lawfirm for this? That is utterly insane and I am so sorry you had to experience this!!

Move.

I'm sorry things got this bad - but you are a pushover.

This landlord is a complete a*****e.

It looks like it ate its way out!

Y'all are making me hungry. Does anyone know if Branston pickles and Snowdonia cheese are available in the states? I don't recall seeing them anywhere

Damn, that's the stuff of nightmares- ate through the fridge??

Killer rat

Haley, collecting more rent than the mortgage is the whole idea of having a rental property. That said, the other part sucks.

"Rent costs more than the mortgage." Um, NSS. Landlord not running a charity. Plus income tax, property tax, maintenance, etc.

If your paying more rent than a mortgage cost it might be wise to buy a house.

Command Strips.

This is about correct everywhere. Except that you have to ask permission to alter the residence.

Yet this is so much more than most can obtain in NYC lol!

Does it have a private entrance? Small, but not uncommon in highly congested cities.

What an asshat! Should be illegal.

I think it looks cozy...

London is crazy. There are people renting out a bed in a shared a room. (Yes, room, not flat or house).
