I know ya'll have some bad landlord stories! SPILL THAT ☕👇
I don't have any but I have a good friend that gave her landlord a notice she was leaving by the end of the month and the landlord let herself in, a couple days before my friend had to leave(she moved most of her stuff out by this time) and the landlord literally stole the remaining things she had in there (an expensive vacuum and some pots) and lied saying there was nothing left and wouldn't let her inside from that moment. So bitter that one 🙄
i didn't till an old lady crashed in the rental i was in. idk why to this day why they where made at me to this day.
I had a Philippine landlady that absolutely hate everyone who was white. Every day for 3 -4 years we got a knock on our door asking us stupid questions or accusing us of something ridiculous. Giving her our notice was a pleasure!
I had a landlord that tried to raise the rent by 50% mid-lease because a new, more expensive apartment complex was being built about a mile down the road.
Oooo... ✋I have. So the house was having all kinds of issues from the stove and oven not being functional to the drainage problems. We had to wait a week to be able to use water from our kitchen sink and not to mention the shower. Everything was just problem after problem. We called him to let him know and he would say oh, yes I'll be there next week. And continued to do that until we had enough of the bs and decided to leave, shortly after we get paperwork through the mail that he is suing us for the problems of the house. Basically trying to blame us for the issues and asked us to pay to get them fixed. We later found out by neighbors that he would charge other tenants $300 for rent and because we were out of towners he charged us $1100.. I still very so dislike him till this day.
my landlord bugged me about cleaning up, cleaning my car, came into my flat whenever she wanted, expected me to come for dinner and coffee, would talk to me every time she got a hold of me. Moved out to my own house, but I still have a good relationship with my mom :)
That was hilarious. Thank you! 😹
😂😂😂😂👍 That's great
😁😁
Hé hé hé
😆😆😆
Worst landlord I ever had was the house I live in now. Older guy, not too smart, inherited the house from his mother. Got a super good deal on rent because he didn't know the going rate and lived here 4 years until I saw my house in the paper was going up for auction for unpaid property taxes. I called him and he had literally never heard of property taxes. I felt bad he was going to lose the house and I didn't want to move so I paid the taxes for him but didn't pay him monthly rent again until the property tax was paid off. We have a discussion about paying it the next couple of years and he promises he will take care of it. During this time I repair the hvac unit and buy a new water heater once again myself and don't pay rent until those are paid off. Then finally I see the house is going up for auction AGAIN for unpaid taxes. So I got a loan, went to the courthouse and was the only bidder on the house that is now mine 🤷
Wahoo I love a happy ending
I think this is my guys fantasy lol
Dang! Nice! What amount were you able to get the house for?
Does the landlord now pay you rent tho?
Your a queen 👑
I had a great landlord. We bought our rental house from her after 12 years of renting. She is still a good friend! We were very lucky. She kept our rent a steal, just because she knew we had special needs children. Who does that? She was amazing.
I had a landlord a few years ago who was just an awful man. I got into an accident and required a service dog to help with everyday tasks. The property was “no pets allowed”, but as most people know, you can always have a service animal. This wasn’t even an ESA, but a trained service dog lol. I sent him all the info while recuperating at my moms house and the day before we got the dog he called me SCREAMING that I wasn’t allowed to have an animal. That it was going to have accidents and destroy the floor- and that I was being “dramatic and just wanted a puppy”. ????? When I explained to him (which was not necessary for me to do) exactly what happened to me and the responsibilities the dog would be taking over for- he said that he had a fear of dogs and I was infringing on his rights. I told him that since he has to give me 24 hours notice before coming inside ANYWAY, I would try to be out of the house while he was around. He straight up just said “do NOT bring a mutt into my house. I’ll call my lawyer in the morning. I’d rather PAY you the rest of your rent for the lease period than have an animal there.”
So I said okay- and he really paid ME the remaining 3 months of rent- I moved in with mom and found a new place a few weeks later. New landlord love the dog, and always brings him treats when she visits.
Perfect example of everything happening for a reason- we are much happier now!!
How's that awful? He didn't want animals in his property and paid you to break the lease. Sounds like a win-win to me.
If he paid YOU the remaining rent it sounds like he had a very REAL fear of dogs. He may have had a VERY TRAUMATIC incident as a child. Don't be judgmental.
He wasn't going to live there anyway so why was he so adamant about not wanting dogs??
Why are there comments defending the landlord… what is wrong with you people-
Service dogs are medical equipment. Trying to deny one into the rental is the same as trying to deny someone an oxygen tank or epi pens. Glad it all worked put in the end but the landlord needs therapy to not endanger the safety of others or themselves if their fear is that bad.
I've worked at Airbnb and just to clarify, you can't have cameras inside the unit, doesn't matter if it's a common area. You can only have cameras on the outside of the property (for example, at the door or driveway) and it has to be disclosed. There were a few scandals with survailace cameras inside Airbnbs and I'm pretty sure those people went to jail for it! This is a really serious matter.
Someone commented above that a landlord must disclose that there are cameras inside of the air BnB....you might want to respond and let them know that it's illegal for a camera to be inside to watch the renters, they think it's ok if the landlord "let's them know". Lol
@@TrackerRoo no. It is indeed a HUUGE worry. There's no relationship between fake listings, and having to deal with fucking creepy renters. but nice segue.
@@jordnoshaugnessy5129 Yeah I mean getting ripped off versus a camera in the living room, surely the camera in the living room is the biggest and only real issue here and the fake listings should just be ignored. Thanks dude now we know who the jackass ripping people off is
@@TrackerRoo the fake listings only mentioned in a vaguely unrelated comment section on a youtube video that doesnt mention fake listings...once? You right, though. I forget the news companies read youtube comments about unrelated topics to decide on what to report. maybe YOU should make a youtube channel about fake airbnb listings, my dude! do some actual good instead of....whatever this is. lmaooo
@@jordnoshaugnessy5129 A news story was just released not that long ago about a Boy Scout troop that went on a trip to a place that was a fake listing. But okay dude, go off I guess. I mean the bare minimum for research on it would have brought that one up in an instant.
💩I called my landlord and told them my dishwasher was broken. They told me that the dishwasher was my responsibility and that I had pay to get it fixed. I told them that if I bought a new dishwasher, I would take it with me when I left. They sent someone to repair my dishwasher the next day.
👏 well done!
Mine came to fix it and made it worse. Roomate and I ended up fixing it ourselves. The same man wanted to fix my desk by putting books under the legs.
I did that with the fridge. I paid it, I bought it. I took it with me when moving out. Now I have 2 fridges (one is mine, the other is of my current landlord). Mine is in the living room just full of beer cans. I'm living a dream 😂😂
A friend of mine rented a flat from a 'family friend'. The 'landlord' invited herself over all the time, forced my friend to host her birthday and new years eve parties, was really slow at fixing anything, gave my friend permission to re-decorate (at my friends expense) then told her to put it back the way it was (also at my friends expense) because she didnt like it etc. Whenever my friend tried to refuse the landlord would turn to her family and manipulate them into taking the landlords side so my friend would end up being guilt tripped into saying yes.
The worst part was when my friend left the flat. She was moving in with her boyfriend and, as the nice person that she is, gave the landlord 6 months notice! As opposed to the 1 month in her contract. And after that she still continued to pay half the rent until her roomate moved out another 3 months later so the landlord wouldn't be out of pocket.
This wasn't good enough. As far as the landlord was concerned my friend should be staying there forever! She refused to give her deposit back, saying my friend should consider it a 'betrayal fee' (that is literally what she called it) for leaving her and her kids with no money (even though her husband was rich). And turned half of my friends family against her! It's been 2 years and a lot of them still won't speak to her.
Moral of the story, NEVER rent from someone you know!
Agree.. I rented from a friend who did not disclose the property was in foreclosure!! Went to court for fraud against her!!!
I'd say moral of this story is don't have assholes for family members or cut contact with those idiots who would rather believe some landlord friend ....and don't rent from friends or family without a signed contract.
Rented an apartment that suddenly developed an ungodly smell in the master bedroom one day. Called the landlord a few days a week for a month, no response. Finally told my hubby to call and tell him he wasn’t getting the rent until they addressed the smell. He finally sent the maintenance man. He checked it out and told me it was moldy insulation. Water had been getting through due to a missing vent cover in the roof that I told the maintenance man had blown off a year and a half before. So he took out the moldy insulation and that was it. But it still smelled… My hubby and I had to sleep in the living room for 5 months until we were able to find a house and have closing. In that time, my hubby, 2 small kids and I were all sick (I was the worst). We sued the landlord and lost… I’m still pissed about that all these years later. We had to throw out almost everything that was in the bedroom because the smell was stuck in it and made me sick all over again if I happened to smell it. If I ever see that jackass again, I can guarantee I’ll be spending the night in jail for assault. I’m kicking the shit out of him.
When I was young and rented I told all my landlords to never come in unannounced and call and give me a couple of days notice.I was home sick from work one day and heard someone messing with the door so I grabbed my gun and went out and almost shot someone in my living room.I didn't recognize him for a second,it was my landlord.He never came unannounced again.
Damn right! Good job, some landlords are so disrespectful.
That makes you wonder if he had done it before when you were gone.
That will do it
Nailed it! 👍🏻
---That is the law, they are not allowed to enter w/o notice. I had a few of those ‘Barge In Busybodies’ land ladies. Once at an apartment complex, I came home and the front door was 1/2 open, scaring me to death. I had a 3 month old and froze--pre-cellphone old days- trying to decide what to do, and out came three guys with pesticides. The front office apologized ‘that we called your apartment and you didn’t answer’. 🤯
When I was 11, we lived in an apartment with terrible landlords. They liked to randomly go into the apartments. And they’d come up with stupid reasons why. One time when I was home by myself, there was a knock at the door. I looked through the peephole and saw the male landlord. I, being the good kid, didn’t answer it. Then I heard his keys and I knew he was gonna open the door to me standing there awkwardly. So I opened it. He asked for my parents. I told him they were in the bathroom busy and he needed to come back later. He started hollering for them while pushing past me. I admitted they weren’t home. He claimed a screen wasn’t closed on a window in my parents’ room in the back room of the apartment was why he needed to come in. He messed with the window and then left. My dad immediately changed the locks and told them if either one of them ever entered the house while his daughter was home alone, he (my dad) would be going to jail and they could get the new key when we moved out. It was terrifying to me.
Your dad sounds like me lol
The same happened to us when I was 12. It was exam time and I was home alone. Next moment I hear a car and keys rattling, so I go to make coffee as I usually would when my mum gets home and the next moment the landlady starts yelling at me and is basically like, “you don’t pay the rent so you shouldn’t be here without your parents as they pay the rent”. She also legit stole my toothpaste. She must have been high or something thinking back...
As horrible as that landlord was, I'm pretty sure changing the locks to a property you don't own is illegal in most places. However, most places ALSO have laws against unannounced arrivals/inspections. So your folks probably could'a pressed charges against him for that.
@@hauntedshadowslegacy2826 they would do it to the other neighbors too. They woke up and terrified our downstairs neighbor who worked thirds. They were lucky he didn’t attack them since he was sleeping when they let themselves into the apartment thinking no one was home.
Awesome Dad!
I got SUPER lucky with the couple landlords I was stuck with... One liked to hang out and drink beers while she did yard work. The other backed me up IN COURT because my ex cleaned out out bank account, causing ME to write a bad rent check... That guy was cool AF
I had a landlord, or I guess I should say my mom had a landlord I was in high school still. Anyway, our landlord had been asked multiple times to put a railing leading down to the basement. The stairs were rickety and scary enough as it was but with all the elderly people in the building not having railings was kind of an issue. We learned later that after we moved out, he died by falling down the stairs. Those exact stairs.
Building codes require railings, of course, and for good reason! Most of these landlords are breaking the law and some should be in prison.
Irony!
Damn if it aint the consequences of his own actions
Our hot water heater stopped working. We called the landlord and he sent his “guy”... a man who seemed to be approximately 187 years old and could barely get up the stairs to check it out. He had to replace something that also required him to replace the pipe connected the hot water heater to the natural gas.
Fast forward to him finally getting it done a week later. I walk in to the OVERWHELMING smell of gas.
Turns out Methuselah didn’t thread the pipe correctly OR tighten it completely. So the natural gas just FLOWED into the house. Gas company said we were incredibly close to a real tragedy.
We tell the landlord... he sent someone back to fix it.
It was Methuselah.
LOL! My dad yells "Move it Methuselah!" Whenever there's an elderly person driving super slow and is in his way, like when they turn so slow you're barely moving LOL.
Unrelated: In my native language the guy is written Methusalem with the e and a replaced.
@@ngotemna8875 same. Never heard/seen it spelled metusaleh
Don’t know if you are in the U.S., but there are strict laws about gas lines being repaired/installed in houses. The work has to be done by a certified technician. It’s the law, so Methuselah really wasn’t qualified.
@@notitasdeldia to make the water hot? 🤣
My landlord talked me into getting a kitten (which was a great idea, I love him) then invited me to her sons grad party. I sat with the grandma and we were chatting. She mentioned how cute my kitten was. I said “oh did you see pictures?” She said “no they brought him over to play with my cats”
😱 she went in my apartment and stole my newborn baby kitten while I was at work. I demanded my deposit and moved out.
Did you get your kitten back??
@@cindypicadomolina7814 i think he/she did.
That's awful! Glad you moved out.
Oh wow. Thought i had some psycho landlords, this is weird!
what do you mean 'newborn baby kitten', where did you get that and why??
I have the worst landlord right now. My upstairs neighbor piled boxes in their closet on top of an exposed heater pipe which leaked into my apartment that my landlord tried to fix on the second day but that night his "repair" busted open and flooded my living room and it took 3 days and half of my living room ceiling collapsing in before my landlord came back to finally fix it, and my neighbor upstairs refused to stop turning his heat on when it was like 60° during the day and maybe 50 at night when this was happening and he has electric heaters that he could have used instead. And, my next door neighbor on the same property with the same landlord robbed my previous upstairs neighbor who was in her seventies by stealing her identity and getting a secondary debit card on her account, transferring thousands into her checking from savings, and running around town to multiple ATMs to steal thousands of dollars out of her account. That was over 2 years ago and she hasn't been evicted. She also dumps her garbage in other people's garbage cans and dumpsters even though the cops have told her repeatedly to stop doing that because it is theft of services, she does drug deals in our shared driveway every night even though she knows there are security cameras and that the police are watching her because she is on probation for the next five years for stealing my elderly upstairs neighbors identity and money. Oh, and she threatened me with a shotgun because I wouldn't bring my garbage can up from the road after pickup day. She still lives next door. And I still have only half a living room ceiling. As of february, I will have had half a living room ceiling for two full years.
Oh, and the thermostat one reminded me of when I was getting Wi-Fi installed by a different company in this same apartment, the installer came in and said "oh you already have an ethernet port so let's see if I can connect to that". He plugs his router into it and as he's pushing the ethernet cable into the plug, the whole thing comes off the wall and we both see that it was just glued on and there's not even a hole in the wall behind it for the wires to go through. It was just glued on to the wall and not connected to anything at all....
You need to take your landlord to court and force repairs as well as rebate money to you for living in terrible conditions, as well as replacement costs for everything destroyed or damaged.
Please go before it get worse
Bro a you're basically living in a bando. You'd do better just finding a house to squat in with landlords like that
A friend of mine used to live in a rented house that was quite literally falling apart. They tried to blame her dog for mold on the ceiling among other things. Their idea of fixing a plumbing problem was sending a guy over with a plunger. They also accused her of lying when she said she had rats, roaches, and a raccoon in the walls and ceiling. I tried to get her to report them to the county, but she didn’t think it was worth it to cause a fuss. 😒
I've had a few bad landlords. One, I rented when I was about 20.. He'd always let himself in if he heard the water running because my bathroom was beside the entrance so you could hear it from the hall. Thankfully, I tend to run the water for a few mins to get super hot before I get in so I caught him both times he attempted. I called the police, they said unless I have it on video, they cannot help but I'm welcome to defend myself my reasonable means.. So after an attack with my baseball bat it never happened again. Wish it hadn't happened that way, but a young, single girl with a dominant streak being told by law enforcement to handle shit myself is just begging for a disaster.
Girl I'm glad you're safe and were able to prevent more stuff from continuing with that baseball bat.
@@kendracampos8201 Thanks :) Just crazy the police wouldn't even help me! I live in Toronto. We aren't scarce for police. Oh just figure it out yourself.. Ok, I will do that :/
@Purple Citrine I know. It's pretty messed up. Unless you get it on video, we can't help you. wtf is that? I'm very bold and confident so I asserted myself at first but decided to do the right thing and report it before beating him to a pulp but that's how it ended up having to be, anyway. At least I was able to do that. Some people don't have the means to defend themselves and I'm sure he was count on that because I was young and small
disaster...? i'd say it was handled ju-u-ust right.
@@STScott-qo4pw I hope he thinks if it every day, and that's prevented it from happening to others
My last land lady was an awesome woman who cared for people and kept a wonderful low income neighborhood environment. She never wanted to be a land lord, her son had bought the neighborhood and ran it to the ground. He was rude, never fixed shit, and charged way to much. His mom saw what he was doing whooped his but and took over.
Way to go mom!
Aww I love her ❤
My dad and stepmom live in Las Vegas. They have rule that anything over $500 is paid by the landlord. They had a drainage issue and they called a plumber and he gave them an estimate of $550. The landlord was ON SPEAKER with the plumber and said “I’ll give you the fifty or so dollars if you tell them it’s less than $500” 😑
Had a landlady while in 2nd/3rd year at uni. Everything seemed great at first - she was super chill, and because we were quiet introverts, she basically gave us the rule of "do what you want, as long as the house is resellable when you leave": we could paint as long as it could be covered in white afterwards, have pets as long as there was no mess, throw out the (old) furniture and buy new stuff etc...
Great right? Until our bathroom fan broke. We didn't hear from her for weeks, and it took another two for it to get fixed (internal bathroom in a mid terrace, kind of important to have ventilation). Then a storm hit that winter, and both our fences blew down. No response. Then a few months later, a fuse blew in our kitchen, and the oven stopped working. Hob was fine, but the rest was gone. We texted, we called, we emailed. Nothing. 3 months later we sent another email threatening to withhold rent, and miraculously she responded immediately. It got fixed a little later on.
Second year we were there, fences still aren't fixed, and we discovered the seal in our patio door was gone (don't know if it had rotted away or what) so we couldn't lock our back door. This was at the height of that "killer clown" thing going on, and we had NO protection now against someone coming in through the garden and the back door. We texted, no response. Then our next door neighbours get evicted, and we find out it's cos they have wood rot and the agency need to fix it. Something we've been dealing with for the two years we were there - we kept quiet about that one because we didn't want to be evicted.
Every time she went quiet on us, it was because some big accident had happened. We all thought it was BS, and the one time we cast doubt on it, I said "either she's lying, or she has the MOST unlucky family in the world."
Why is it most landlords/managers don't take leaks seriously? Water damage is the most costly type of property damage.
They don't fix a tiny leak and a while later, when the whole wall is affected they be like "why didn't you inform me sooner? Why wasn't this fixed in the first place?!"
WhO cOULd hAve kNoWn?!
And then there is mold
@@lotstodo Oh god mold. I moved into my flat March 2019, 1 side of the bedroom wall was just half black. Smelt very earthy and there was a breeze coming in through the seperation in the.... two wooden/plywood/whatever blocks that make up the inside of that wall.
2020 October - FINALLY got people in to fix and paint over it. -_-
Only took a year and a half and a change in the management so the new person knew what they were doing, apparently-!
And at least my nose doesn't clog up every two weeks from whatever mystery allergy now.
My roommate literally just had to move out due to a leaky ceiling. There was a stream of water randomly pouring out of the ceiling into the room haha 😬
They’re lazy pieces of CRAP that’s why
Caught my landlord snooping around my apartment as I got dressed for work. He didn't know my cousin who loves to punch was there and magic.
Thank God for cousins who love to punch! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@michelleghazy7582 😂😂
I'm so happy your cousin who loves to punch was there! 💜
Yes Ma'am!!! Hope that cuz got em' good!!!!
Ohhhh my god
My first student flat when I was 18 was a loft conversion thing where skylights were the windows. The one in the bedroom developed a leak and my landlord "fixed" it by nailing a rubber sheet over the entire window, from the inside. This not only failed to work, but it also directed the leak onto the pillows of the bed and blocked out half of the natural light sources in the entire flat. As the window was still not water-tight, it wasn't air-tight either. This meant that the window would occasionally make wet fart sounds. When I complained about it he told me via text that if I felt it was an emergency, I should "pay to get it repaired myself out of my grant money", or, just wait until he can get around to doing it "at some point in a few weeks". Honestly surprising how fast someone can get round to doing a job after you cancel your rent payments, you get your accountant (well, my dads, technically) to make official enquiries about a refund on your deposit and the university stop promoting them to students on their websites after you send them pictures of the shitty repair job and accompanying text messages.
I had a landlord invite me and my roommates to a party once. He was a younger guy around our age and I thought, wow how friendly!
It was at our apartment. He invited us to a party at our apartment.
The pressure washed deck looks like little kids scribbled on it with sidewalk chalk.
That was my exact thought
Yes that is what I thought it was too. Lol
Some of this stuff is insane! Especially the one pretending to be his tenants on the IRS website. That's a federal offense and I hope they all pressed charges. 💩
I would love to know the outcome of THAT one
Off topic, but the dog in your pfp is adorable !
@@jzargo6359 Thank you! He's my giant lap dog lol.
I don't know what the outcome was, but in at least one case the tenant filed a lawsuit against the landlord.
In deffence of the hot faucet landlord: they could have missundetstood the situation and thought that the handle broke off or something. We all have our dum-dum moments, there is nothing shameful about that.
I've had a couple landlords. One I thought was fine, until something MAJOR happened in the house, and they wouldn't do anything about it. So we left. It wasn't liveable after that.
Another one was great and accommodating the whole almost 2 years we lived there. We did the walk through with the husband at the end, he said how nice it looked and no one had ever left it like that before. Then we get a voicemail from the wife sometime after screaming that she's keeping half our security deposit.
Back in the 80's we had a landlord couple. The husband came over to get the rent and said not to give his wife any money because they're getting a divorce. We gave him cash (before we knew better) for rent. In two weeks they both came over requesting the rent.
We argued that we had already given it to him. He denied it. Then they kicked us out and sued us for the rent money. I learned a valuable lesson. NEVER give cash in a business transaction and always get a receipt.
You can do cash just fine usually. To.cpver your ass buy a receipt booklet from the office supplies section of like any store and Use that and make sure they sign it too. Then you will both have a copy.
Yes, or also video record the transaction on your phone if possible
Some of these landlords are fully criminals.
unusually uninformed regarding tenancy laws, too.
and some of them swift as planks.
The "fire extinguisher" one, I'd be sending that photo to my nearest fire department!!
“No pets allowed”….Well maybe if you let cats in the building you wouldn’t have rats. 👀😅🤣🤣
Two weeks into hard core lock down at the beginning of the 'rona start in the US, my landlady said she wanted me out immediately so she could move a family member in. It was my 7th year living there and I had just signed a lease for another year. I have a good job and was paying her in full on the first of the month like clock work. At the time, that family member was living in an apartment also owned by my landlady. I tried to reason with her but she was so nasty that I had no choice but to call and file a formal complaint with the state dept of housing. She was cited by the state and then told me I had misunderstood her ... except I had all these awful voicemail messages and texts from her. Also, she would pull up in her car and sit across the street watching at all hours of the day and night. If I was out (I'm an essential), she would look through my mail and one of my neighbors caught her coming out of my home. I was scared enough to change the locks and filed a harassment report with the police. She wound up having to return my deposit in full before I even moved out of the place. 2 months after I moved out, she texted to tell me she was putting the place up on the market and wanted to give me first shot to buy it because "we had always had such a good relationship". Crazy biotch
Is her name Nancy?
WOW…. JUST WOW!!!!!!
Ahhh, nothing like the law to bond people together....
Saying with Charlotte's voice The Audacity!
My last landlord sent me to collections 1 week after moving out for 400 and kept my security deposit for 450. I was so pissed that I spent 2 days in the law library and sued him for 850, what he wanted from me lol. I ended up wining and found out ALOT about renting and tenant laws. I won and ended up wining 810, because I threw a blind away so they kept 40. Everyone please go to your local library and research your states laws!! I was pretty impressed with myself. This was 2 years ago and I’m honestly still impressed with winning. He even had an attorney, I just had a bunch of folders with Ohio Revised Codes.💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
Sounds fun😂
Yes because they tend to count on people not showing up so they win by default. Same with collection's agencies. ALWAYS show up if you're sued. They have to prove you owe the damages & prove you owe the debt. So many of those collection's agencies just buy your name & the amount you owe so, if you show up, the debt is dropped because they literally cannot prove you owe it. They make all their money off the people who don't show up so they win by default. Once they win, they can do things like apply for garnishments.
No matter who sues you, ALWAYS show up, even if you don't think you have a defense. If they can't prove their case, you win without doing anything. Glad you got yours back.
I guess kind of like even I u can't pay the ticket show up to court bc in the US that's an automatic bench warrant and $500 fine. Or it was that much in the late 1990s.
I’m glad you won. I had an experience that didn’t turn out as well. I did go to court and I lost. 70 days before my lease expired they put a note that said no rent increases. I had to give sixty days notice to leave the lease which went month to month after one year. Since rent wasn’t changing I was like okay I’ll stay. 48 days before the lease expired they put a note that said rent was going up $150 a month. So I left. They kept my $1500 deposit and took me to court for another $530 and somehow won. Apparently I had to give 60 days notice but the landlord only had to give 30 days notice of a rent increase. So basically they could scam you into not saying you were leaving and then at 59 - 30 days they could then increase the rent and you were boned for an extra month. Told the guy well you won the case but you’ll never collect it so Buh bye.
Love the landlords uno reverse card by proclaiming a bathroom rat infestation as "NO PETS ALLOWED!"🤣
Worst landlord I had was he and his wife had converted their garage into a cottage and rented it out. They never had the front wall bolted down to the concrete driveway to keep the wall from moving. Needless to say, the door became impossible to close and lock when I had to go to work. Ended up having to crawl out the window after I locked the door. I kept telling them what was happening and they kept ignoring me. They finally evicted me because they wanted a happy home and I was making them unhappy.
Asked my landlord to install a deadbolt on the front door - which would literally blow open several times a day. He spent an hour trying to figure out how to get out of installing deadbolt and finally instructed me to inform repair guy that the deadbolt had to match the doorknob. Repair guy just grabbed a deadbolt at Ace, no effort to match antique brass doorknob. I like this repair guy.
Several great examples of why I do *NOT* trust people. At all.
I've lived in Brazil for 5 years and it was the best experience that I ever had with landlords.
You actually have control of everything, they never goes to your place, ever... unless you ask for it. They actually made me feel that I own the place, like home...
but here in canada in another hand tho... I cant stand my actual landlord, he sends me messages all the time, really annoying.
I had a landlord once. Lived in his house and rented a room. He would insist on doing things together "as a family" because I lived "in his house". He even took it so far as to climb into my bed when I didn't feel like waking up one morning. And refused to friggin get out, and leave me in peace until I literally got out of bed. I suffer from chronic all-over pain and sleeping in for me is as rare as unicorns. Worst. Roommate. Ever. He has a wife and a baby now. I feel so sorry for those poor people.
I noticed things in my house moved, so one day i parked my car around the corner and went to take a nap in my room 2 hours later someone came in with a key when i walked out my landlord was going threw my closet in the other room, when i saw her i told my pit bul, get bad guy and she ran like hell screaming lol..... she tried to take me to court and when i told her lawyer she came in with a key and was going threw my stuff and thats why my dogs went after her, HER lawyer looked at her and said "drop the charges now" lol....... she thought because i owned pitbulls she would get me in trouble for telling them get here ....lol.... she broke the law period
Hahaha. Pibbles are the best. She doesn't get to just go through your stuff!

But then we should have landlords with terrible tenants
Ditto
My landlord was a property management company in college.
They said they would be replacing the windows in all the units and would notify me with the date... woke up one morning and one of my f'in walls was gone. It was an A-frame, so the "bedroom" was basically just a loft that overlooked the downstairs, and the whole flat wall across from my loft was just... not there anymore. They said the property managers told them I had been notified, but I think the shocked expression of a tenant sleeping in their bed let them know the office had lied. I had to get to class, but luckily my mother had already planned to visit that day and came early so she could supervise / make sure none of my stuff went missing. I'm still so surprised they didn't think to even knock on my door before they just ripped out one of my walls.
Wasn't my last horror story with that company, as I lived in the A-frame for all 3 years (the rent was super low) through college. They would do surprise visits and come into my apartment without notice, only leaving behind an "inspection" paper afterwards, so I took to hiding my valuables just because I didn't trust anyone. Also I couldn't use the loft closet because there was a colony of wasps inside and management refused to fumigate, so I just duct taped all around the door and put it out of my mind. The walls were also super thin, like too thin to be legal, and one night my neighbor was banging his girlfriend so hard against the bathroom wall that my wallboard literally popped off the 2x4s, and I had to nail it back into place. After I graduated I went on a monthly rental contract, since I didn't know if I'd move for work, and took a lot of pictures when I left - yes, they did try to say I broke stuff after leaving and I had evidence... still took like a year to get my deposit back though.
Also the little A-frame 'village' (what the company called it) I lived in was a den of drug addicts and thieves - from my understanding, people didn't usually live there as long as I had, since tenants usually got busted for making / selling drugs, and there were several apartment raids that happened while I was there. And almost every neighbor I spoke to had their place robbed at some point... which never happened to me. I regularly baked and shared it with my neighbors or would have dinner with my neighbors now and again, so my across-the-hall neighbor said I was probably unknowingly nice to the local thieves, so they didn't rob me out of respect. Sometimes being nice pays off I guess.
Tenant from hell: so she was really fussy for the first 3 months and she had electricians out to fix the oven, washing machine etc even though they were in full working order. She also had things swapped without informing us and selling the originals ( we had to pay for the new ones too). When we went in to clean after they had left the entire house was covered in black mould ( we lived in the house for 10 years previously and it never happened) she had broken a lot of stuff and the garden was seriously overgrown. The Max claim was £70 for the mess and chaos she caused but it was a lot more than that to fix even though we cleaned everything ourselves.
Dude I had THE BEST landlord from 19-23. He lived right beneath us, didn’t give a fuck if we partied all night, half the time would join us, would cook amazing dinners and invite us, AND shared his weed. It was awesome. I miss him ❤️
Lucky
I'm a mailcarrier and you have no idea how many times I see walkways and decks that look like that. They probably rented a high-pressure cleaner and didn't know how to change the setting.
We found mold in one of our old apartments, and the landlord refused to do anything about it, because he was sure I made it up. I got it inspected by myself and called my landlord again the confirm the mold. He kicked me and my husband out with under two weeks notice, because we shouldn't have found out.
The landlord was my grandpa.
Lived in one building in a small California town, the manager was trying to do right by the tenants and get some newer/more washing machines or something and the owner of the apartment building let the manager go. If you are that owner and you are reading this SCREW YOU!
When i lived in an apartment for a few months they had those plastic things over the thermostats too. We would put a popsicle on top of it to trick it into turning the heat on when we were cold. 😂
That is genius.
@@pineappledeedee1705 lol Thank you.
Does the landlord pay the electricity in America? If so I'd just buy plug in heaters for each room. In Australia the Tennant pays for their own electricity and water
@@magicshopmumma2042 I've never had a landlord pay for any utilities, but maybe state-to-state it differs?
I would wrap cold towels on it LOL
💩 I once had a landlord turn off the water to my apartment because he found out I took leave from work...to have a baby.. he didn't think that I would be able to pay rent the month after so he took matters into his own hands. I had never paid rent more than a couple of days late, and I had been with this landlord for 1.5 years. Cops ended up being called and they (the cops) ended up siding with me and helped me move all my stuff out less than a week later.
Yeah, maternity leave is paid, and he can't just deprive you of a service you've paid for. That's not how that works.
@@Just1Nora Not if you are in the US. You would be really lucky to get paid maternity leave.
Nice cops for helping you move!!
The US is crazy. It's illegal in Germany to turn off water and electricity.
@@genv9404 It's illegal here in the US, too.
I share this huge apartment with my sister and a childhood friend. We have each huge separate rooms and mine has also a balcony. All the bedrooms face the beautiful riverside and basically it’s the perfect place in the perfect location. Recently my friend kind of broke the shower thing and we called the landlord to let them know that our shower was unavailable and the next day they showed up and replaced it. The are the sweetest people I’ve ever known. For example during the pandemic they used to take us to buy grocery’s with them by car so that we didn’t take the bus or something and they are super understanding with the rent too.
All our landlords were kind people and always helped us with everything in their power.
I'm a landlord and I hear so many landlord horror stories from our tenants from their old landlords. Also gotten several lovely couples as tenants because another landlord in town refused to rent to them because they were gay couples.
As a reluctant landlord: 1. Never rent to friends; 2. Friends change to former friends quickly when they flood your finished basement and then call codes when you say no to painting a bedroom. Not all landlords are awful. There are awful tenets too.
FACTS
Still having nightmares about tenants
Yep. It goes both ways . I rented the other side of my duplex . The renters and I got along smoothly until I found women's under garments outside in the front yard! Being it was an unusual event, I knocked on his door. A woman ran out of the duplex asking for help! I also happened to work at the local women's advocacy shelter. The renter ended up " leaving " that day as well with the police.
I don't rent out the duplex any more. Im 65 and my heart won't take it. Also, I retired!
i was actually considering renting space out to my current roommates when i buy a house to save on the mortgage but after a few months of living together i saw the way they really lived and would never ever ever put my house through that lmaoooo
I don't want to be disrespectful, but if it's the tenants right to paint a bedroom be code law, then why do you expect them not to paint it? It's their right, you take rent from them so they can live (and paint beddrorroms) in that space. It's part of the deal, isnt it?
My most weird experience was when I moved in with a classmate in the second story of a house. landlady kept coming up when we were gone and checking if we tidied enough. One day (26 days after we moved in) she calls me and says she wants us out cause we had dirty dishes in the sink and her daughter said the living room smelled of cat piss (mind you, our cat’s toilet was in the balcony and he was trained to not go to the toilet out of it). I threatened to sue if she kicked me out before the 1 month notice as per our contract and after that we found out she had been snooping daily and left my camera laptop to check if she comes again after she disturbed “a trap” to catch her in the act.
seeing all of these makes me thankful for my amazing landlord 😌🙏🏽 for the last 5 years, every winter i've had a problem with mold, due to the humidity coming in from rain and such. i took it upon myself to clean it every few weeks, and it got so bad i had to paint the worst areas where the mold would appear with oil based paint. it lessened the problem for a while, but i finally brought it up to the landlord. she was so sorry about it and offered to get the flat fixed up, without me having to pay. got a few things fixed (including the cause of the mold), and got some new painted walls and pretty wallpapers 🤗
I typed in "evil landlords" in the search bar for a new topic of videos to watch and am so ecstatic I came across Charlotte Dobre! I recently found her channel and just love her to death. I watch her videos all the time. Love you Charlotte ❣️ you're the best!
I had a landlord, who was going through a divorce, and since I was a tenant at will he threw me out so he could live there. He then started crying about how being 57 and living in a first floor apartment was degrading. I was like, I actually love my garden level apartment, by the sea. I had to put in for a transfer with work and ended up in a whole new state,only to find out a few months after I moved that he and his wife reconciled so I never had to actually move
Having a roof over your head is never degrading. He sounds like he was an entitled asshole.
What a wanker I've been to houses where it's a bunch of scrap metal nailed together anf the neighbours house was a holey tarp on a pole. Maybe he should take a trip to somewhere that could give him some perspective.
My landlord had us three girls move in, said he would stay a few miles down the street in his retirement community if we needed anything. Then he continued to let himself in every single day while my roommates were working on Zoom calls and homework, and I was sleeping because I worked night shift. He would do invasive and loud construction throughout the entire house, messing up our school work and sleeping schedules. He was trying to fix up the house while we lived there to have his grandkids that hated him (for good reasons) to move in and start "loving" him.
He had 100% no right to enter your residence without 24 hours notice. The last sentence made my heart sad. Even if he’s the douchest (which 100% sounds like it) man ever, he still just wants the love of his grandkids. I’m sure there is good reason for their lack of relationship, it still made me a little sad for him.
My first rental ever, moving out, I did the bond clean myself better than I received the house. I left some cleaning products under the sink, thinking it would be nice for the new tenants. The landlord charged me for "removal of personal items"
Once I was renting a flat and one day a random man came to the door and when I opened it he looked hella confused and say’s… ‘Who are you?’ I was like, ‘… I live here, who are you buddy?’ … and he was like, ‘this is my house’… and I was like… ‘but I rent this from Phill’… and he was like… Phill rents this from me and hasn’t paid me rent in 3 months… so…. Yah. 😂😩 I had to move out and Phill probably has charges against hun now LOL!
That landlord text of they used the ppl SSN from application to check their checks on IRS online, I HOPE TO GOD these ppl sued the CRAP OUT OF THAT LANDLORD because that is INCREDIABLY illegal! And the Landlord ADMITTED IT! Thats a lawsuit + Jail time!
I had one land lord who told me my children 3 and 5, couldn’t play outside alone. I lived at the end of the building and we had a little grass area, that was totally safe and they couldn’t go far, it was like letting them out in a back yard. I left the door open and could see them. He had one of the other tenants watching me and if the kids went past the door alone they called the Manager. One day I was down visiting another tenant and the Manager left his 2 yr old alone in a running car, she put it in drive and crashed the car into the Cement Dumpster area, knocking down a bunch of the cement blocks. We found somewhere better to move to, but we were told by our friends who still lived there that he was caught in someone’s apartment going through her dirty panties, sniffing them. He was fired after that.
"If you don't call the electrician, you're gonna call the fire department" 😂
The Airbnb one scares me so much especially because I am currently “living” in with my one with my husband due to a fast transition we had to made for his new job. Needless to say prior to our monthly stays here we checked EVERYTHING
I know that where i live landlords have to give 24 hours notice before showing up. That sick person should just tell the ppl who come with landlord that she is sick but landlord does not care about the safety of thier tenants
Here, they have to give you a weeks notice.
24 hours? It's 2 weeks notice in Australia. I would have stuck notes on the front door and other areas saying I'm highly likely positive with Covid and then see how many people wanted to view the place
Hang a sign on the front door that says "COVID POSITIVE, DO NOT ENTER." Should fix the issue, as I doubt the people coming to see the apartment would be willing to enter, even if the landlord doesn't care.
Where I live, they are not allowed even if they would give you a one year notice. Unless they have permission from the court or are accompanied by the police, they cannot enter without your consent.
Not only did the landlord replace a fire extinguisher with a bottle of water- he apparently also put a pad lock on the closet, that makes getting at it impossible 😳
I saw that too! Evil!
There's actually a reason for that. The plastic cover for the cabinet is scored so it can be smashed in an emergency, but still keeps the extinguisher secure against theft...well, kinda. The lock is so it can be opened to be inspected and serviced.
@@SynchroScore yes but he locked it after putting a water bottle inside…
@@zin82e98 I know. My point is that if an actual extinguisher were in there, it would be legit.
I thought it was a fire extinguisher "picture" with FIRE written on it. But my concern is that it is padlocked and there is no way to get to it in time during an emergency.
At my first place I shared small house with 7 other ladies who were in highschool (i was freshman college) and after they went home for winter holidays my landlord told me that she'd turn off the heat and gave me some old heater which broke 3h later.
My second landlord blamed me for the 2 foot tall mold on the walls saying I shower too much..but failed to mention that apartment was built on former puddle which dried out.
At my third place, the second floor of the house was split in two small living spaces (bedroom, kitchen/living room and bathroom each) and I shared it with my landlord who was a very old lady. Between us was the door which I kept locked since I had the key. Later on she took it from me, saying that she doesn't trust me enough, only to enter my apartment when I'm gone and sniff around, once even cleaned it for some reason. I moved out after she walked in, in the middle of the night, and just stood there for a few moments.
Fortunately, I found an amazing place and great owners at the end 😇
I rented from a guy who was on the total polar opposite of the political spectrum from me and actively trolled my friends on Facebook, baiting them into debates that would infuriate them. What they didn’t know is that IRL he was the nicest person I’ve ever met, gave me a chance when he didn’t have to, later owned up to his own preconceived notions of me and apologized, and even waived my back rent one Christmas. (I was a single mom and working two jobs to pay everything back.) He really changed my perspective on what to expect from people and how to treat people who seem different. Thanks, Doug! ❤️

One long story of many:
The house I’m currently renting with my 5 classmates is 93 years old.
On Easter morning there was a really strong smell of gas coming from the oven when my housemate was baking. I googled the brand of the stove (Tappan) online and found that not only was the stove old as shit..THEY STOPPED MAKING THEM 30 years ago. Turns out this particular gas range was made in 1975, making it 46 years old this year. (you’re supposed to change your stove every 10-15 years)
When I told our landlady about a gas leak she sent a ‘plumber’(her general handyman) and after less than 15 minutes, she said “no leak” and sent a video of him spraying the pipes (the oven wasn’t even on) with water or something. I told her that it is still unsafe to have a 46 year old stove in an 93 year old house and that we want a replacement to which she replied “The stove is fine...but I’ll ask my team”. Then nothing..
Well we didn’t use the stove for a few weeks and one of my housemates ended up calling the fire department. (They must have been bored ash because they ALL came) As soon as they walked into the kitchen and saw the stove, they burst out laughing. After testing the oven, they told us that we needed to TELL the landlord (not ask) that we need another stove “if we don’t want the house to blow up”. We got this interaction on video btw.
So we sent the video to the group chat with her landlord and her associates and demanded a new stove or else we would be withholding our rent. I immediately got a phone call from the real estate agent who starts yelling at me saying
“why would you call the fire department you should have just told us...we told you there was no leak. You won’t get the stove for a few days you should have told us sooner don’t do that again” 🙂
I’ll be moving in 2 weeks.
Love the weird disconcerting hand and alien on the side. Not only was there no fire extinguisher in that cabinet, but it was locked 😂.
I'm closing on my new home in 2 weeks and, though I am extremely happy to have my own home, The most overwhelming feeling that I got after learning that everything was going to work out and I was going to get the home, was relief that I no longer had to rent.
I pay $650 for a falling apart side of a duplex ( My neighbor literally fell through his floor, this place should be condemned.) That was full of black mold and cigarette ash & residue when I moved in (though I signed a no smoking lease.) I am asthmatic and have developed a severe cigarette allergy after having no choice but to live here. As I work in a garage on regular folks cars, I often have to turn down business now because even an unsmellable level of ash will make my lungs close up, and even after I take my inhaler a few times, I get extremely nauseous, a headache, swelling of the eyes and a rash that takes months to go away.
Told people I was panicking before I started trying to buy a house because I can't go through this again, and everyone was like "Oh, Just move back in with your parents for a bit until you figure it out." 🙄 Which wouldn't be a bad option... If my mother wasn't a heavy smoker who started smoking in the house the minute all her kids moved out. So now I can't even live there or visit the home I grew up in. Also, she smokes in her truck, meaning I can't even get a ride from her. So we'll want to go to dinner in the town that's 1 hr away ( We live in very rural southern West Virginia) and I'll have to take a separate vehicle. Also, she FORGETS that I now have this allergy, and once sent my dad to pick me up from being broken down in her truck. Also, had to leave a bf because he smoked in his house and car and got fed up with me not being able to go places or visit with him.
Oh, and did I mention it had bed bugs, almost forgot about that. Bed bugs can be treated, but I'll live with this severe, life-threatening allergy for the rest of my life. Oh, and my landlord had the audacity to send me an email asking me to renew my lease for $50 more a month, without a period to repair a house with the plaster falling off the walls and cigarette residue that is so bad that all the carpets need replaced and walls +ceilings repainted. I came home from vacation only to realize it still stinks like an ashtray after hundreds of hours of scrubbing and shampooing and realized "Oh, This is why I feel so sick and have no energy on my days off. This place is still poisoning me."
I only have 2 more weeks And this godforsaken hell hole, and if they charge me a single penny when I move out, I'm suing the everliving crap out of them. One of my apartments before this one charge me $600 so they can renovate the apartment that had crappy paint and carpets when I am moved in, and I couldn't afford a lawyer at the time. But I'll be saving over $200 a month paying my mortgage instead of this rent, so I can afford one now and have mountains of evidence to give them about why these people shouldn't even be able to rent this place out, let alone charge me for 50+ years worth of damages to a property that ought to be condemned.
It works both ways for tenants too. I had a tenant that stopped paying me rent. Went to check on my house. Opened the fence and a 3 foot Emu came running towards me!!!
This is the best story I've ever read.
More information is required!
WTF?!? An EMU? Pls tell me more.
Clearly they were illegally subletting to the emu, 😂
Im kut wondering if this is even in australia....
I once had a landlord that no matter how much I mentioned that our heating and air was broke, wouldn’t fix and we couldn’t afford to buy a whole new system and have someone put them in. We ended up moving out a little over a year later, when the landlord wouldn’t fix our floor which our television fell through, we was worried the floor would give out under my disabled father so we left and as of now nobody else has moved in became of the poor conditions.
I miss you charlotte! I always watched your videos when I was pregnant now stumbling upon your video brings back so many fond memories!! Cause i’ve lost myself postpartum , and it warms my heart seeing u back on my fyp. ❤
I had a landlord offer to forgive my rent if I ‘slept’ with him. I was 19 and he was at least 55 and had a belly like a whale, smoked smelly cigars, and sweated like....I dunno what sweats a lot, but you get the idea. Um...no thanks.
🤢

As a former agent of the CRA (Canada's IRS) that one about checking that person's account online had me cringing with every fibre of my being.
💩
oh, you work for the Vampire-General... 😂
Yeah, that's nothing to be proud of. CRA have proven themselves to be little better than Brownshirts thanks to Chretien weaponizing them. And along comes Prince Sparkle Sox claiming that small business owners are Al Capone-ish tax cheats. Any wonder the Agency is vilified?
I once had a landlord who was the grandfather of one of my best friends. I was young, stupid, and fresh out of college needing a place to stay so I didn’t even think twice about renting from a friends relative with no contract of any kind. He tried to raise my rent after he found out my dad died of cancer and left me an inheritance… His exact words, “I know your dad left you money so I know you can afford it.” Three months later he sold the building and kicked me out.
💩this was crazy. I remember living in an apartment and the AC unit caught fire. No one was hurt but it was like pulling teeth asking when we could be moved into a new apartment. They didn't want to because the other units were more expensive than what we were paying. Like our freaking apartment burnt to a crisp and then the water damage from the fire hose just sealed the deal. And they were worried about their bottom line....
I'm pretty sure the camera is illegal if they're not informed.
It kinda is but Isn’t...... they can install cameras in common areas and shared spaces. But they cannot place one in a specific person personal space. Like bedroom or bathroom.
@@victorlannister5606 I'm positive, then 😂
Thats the same as taking photos up someones dress, what a pervert.
It is. Cameras in apartments can go into parking lots and stairs of apartment complex but not INSIDE someone else apartment, or from the the front door either, from the inside without knowing or an agreement of the tenant. That's a lot of illegal and against privacy laws valid into a "illegal recording/Spying/Stalking".
@@victorlannister5606 nah they need to inform people if it's inside the house, anywhere. Hallways and parking lots are permitted. For example it's even illegal if in my own home I install cameras without letting my husband know. So yea, ILLEGAL. Y'all ain't getting me on camera doing my crazy headphones on-cooking-dances. Nope. Not today.
My last landlord “made” the roof of the building himself out of unsecured scrap pieces of furniture he found. I reported him to the council (who haven’t been interested in following up) because this roof covered the back garden of the family on the ground floor who owned 3 young children. A loose piece could have fell and potentially killed then any minute. I don’t know why there arnt more laws protecting tenants at risk like this.
Who makes the laws? Rich people do. You are more likely to care about something if you have experienced it. Do you think any of your lawmakers have had to live like that? Doubtful.
Had the worst landlord when i was younger. Used to do inspections and complain about my room being a mess and leaving towels everywhere dirty clothes on the floor. As soon as i turned 17 i moved out. Lol. I love you mom
I'm going through something with my current land person right now. My kitchen sink backed up (again) and I had to call the office, which went to the answering service. They called for the plumber, who came out right away and the problem was fixed. Now the land person is trying to get me to pay for said plumber, which is her problem, not mine. She all but said that she wants to evict my family without saying the word eviction. Her words were, "If you want to move, I won't hold you to the new lease you signed." Yeah, that's going to happen...NOT!! I'm not paying and I'm not moving away. The backup is not my fault, and you can best believe if something happens in this apartment again, I'm not calling the office about it.
I just asked my landlord if I can have a R2D2 shower head, she said: "No, and stop calling me 'Landlord', I'm your wife!" To which I replied "I'll remember to do that Madam Warden." If she reads this I'll be in deep 💩.
😂
Oh my gosh!! 😆😆😂😂
too funny
🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Before I moved into a place the landlord told me the place would be cleaned before hand... previous tenant had cats and it smelled like piss and was fairly dirty... it was not cleaned on move in day and I had to clean it myself... a week after moving in mushrooms were found growing in a corner on the ceiling under the bathroom.... ಠ_ಠ Needless to say... I moved out as soon as I could.
next time just keep looking - never take a filthy place - only a sign of more problems in the future - I had to learn the same lesson

As a freshman in college, I had a terrible landlord. I was too young and dumb to think something was strange about them wanting cash only and didn’t need references. Rent was cheap tho. Anyway, in the first week I lived there I contacted them to tell them the shower water pressure was painful and it needed to be fixed. One of them came over, opened the door without asking and started screaming at me for “breaking the shower.” It wasn’t broken. The pressure was just too high. They ended up taking $200 from my deposit for the “broken shower.”
When i first got married i had a slumlord when the girl on the 3rd floor (me on the second right under her) overflowed her bath tub my whole bathroom ceiling came through exposing the shitty wiring which mind you was sparking , when i called him he said to call him back when the water stopped. I moved right after that and maybe a year later the whole house went up in flames he lost the whole triple decker due to shitty wiring.
We came hone once to find a piano in our living room. Called landlord and he said he needed a place to store his piano indefinitely. None of us played the piano and it took up a massive amount of space
Hello! I am becoming a huge fan of your content, I love the variety of what you curate for our entertainment; going through your back catalog a few videos each evening. But I do have to say, I LOVE your lipstick in this one, and have to ask what color/brand it is! It looks phenomenal.
worst landlord I had was when I lived in a house share with 3 older boys. We had a rat problem and we had them for a year and we tried to sort it out ourselves on many many occasions but we had no luck. our landlord only agreed to help after we found a ton of rodent dropping and we had to take photos of it and sent her all of them and she finally agreed to help us.
The mold one.. I would burn all my stuff 🤮 that‘s really unhealthy
You can absolutely sue on that one
Mold can become deadly.
My last place had a mold problem. There was no ventilation in the place, not even a bathroom vent. And no window in there either to air any moisture out. The ac was filled with mold. I had to throw out shoes, handbags, wall decor, baskets, even our couch was growing mold it was horrible. Luckily we are now out of that place
As an asthmatic, I would sue over the mold. js
Same!
We had a huge mold problem in an old apt and my son had breathing issues as a baby. I was so mad. It was all because one of the gutter drains was broken and just streaming water down the side of the wall next to our apartment every time it rained and apparently it got into the walls and it made a huge massive mold bloom all around our living room window. All they did was come and spray it down with bleach and paint over it. We moved as soon as possible. They never fixed the damn gutters either
Years of mold from bad landlords is the reason I have asthma... even in our apartment now we pay almost $2000 a month for still has mold and no one will fucking do anything about it.
@@blackharvest13 If it turns out to be black mold, you can sue them.
@@FoxyMomma4ever I know but we can't afford to move or have the time to file paperwork to take it to court.
SLUMLORD- North jersey- 2 family home hell. used to just walk on the property and come in my house! Never wanted to fix anything. Didn’t care that the upstairs unit had water coming down upon my children and their beds. Told us to just stick them out in the sun and dry them. Mold in the basement, hired an unlicensed person and that person just put wood over it. Left holes in my ceiling in closets where I could see the upstairs units floor… I could go on and on! And he owns around five or six of these things! Never again will I share walls or in my case a ceiling/floor with someone else.
I once had a landlord that said "go ahead, report me to the city" when my roommate told her about water dripping on an outlet in our basement. A week later she came pleading "please don't report me!!!!" We just moved out and her and her husband sold the duplex
I had a landlord that controlled the heat. She kept the apartment so cold that one morning me and my daughter could actually see our breath. Not cool 🥶
Actually...it was cool. And that was the problem. 😬
I feel like that’s illegal. I hope you’ve moved.
@@katelynbendinsky5080 yes only lived there a year. 😆
That's super illegal
After 5 years paying rent on time, sometimes even earlier without any discount, I asked my landlord if we could skip the comming yearly increase, he said no. When i moved out they asked why, if there was any problem they could try to fix.... well, too little too late...
Wait landlords will do discounts? Shit. Ive paid mine on time for 5 and a half years. I want a discount. 😂
@@britnysnyder4991 It's up to the landlord (at least by brazilian laws). My new landlord, for example, I've been living here for six years without any rent increase, because I cause no trouble at all to my neighbors and pay my rent always on time. It's easier for him to keep me here rather than gettin' more money from some troublemaker tenant 😅
@@tatioliveira8598 oh ok. Yea our landlord dont raise our rent either but i dont think he does that to the other renters either. And they are trouble makers. So i want some kind of a discount. 😂
Here in the UK rent only goes up with inflation (private landlords, not companies) so this all makes no sense. Why would a landlord earn less just because the bills came in on time? That wouldn’t work for any job.
We are also landlords but we have kept our tenants rent lower than the going rates because they are awesome. They were in the granny flat when we bought our house so we basically took them over from the previous owners. We have been here 18yrs and they have been here for 20yrs. We could probably get double what they give us but it's a mission to find good tenants. And no. We don't have keys to their flat. We are good friends, tho. 😊
My wife and I rented a place which the back half was an extension added by the landlord - who also lived right across the road. Instead of foundations, he had dug holes, filled them with bricks and laid the floor joists across them. There was a difference in floor levels so he made it up with a couple of layers of carpet. The kitchen and laundry floors had an interesting angle.
Then the toilet backed up. Turned out he had laid the pipes wrongly. After hassling the estate agent for a few days, a plumber finally made it to the job. He turned off the water and fixed the pipes. He turned the water back on and then he checked the hot water service. He refused to turn it back on because a) the tank was in the bathroom and b) there was no flue. Then we were without hot water for a week until he finally returned to install a flue.
Then the landlord refused to pay the bills. In the end, we took him to the Small Claims Tribunal. By this time, we had moved. He failed to show at the hearing and, naturally, the judgement went against him. But HE had also moved and we didn't know where. It took a while, but eventually we discovered he had moved to the same suburb as us and was living about five minutes away!
We informed the SCT whereupon the sheriff turned up and the landlord still refused to pay. So his two cars were impounded until the $450 bill was paid. This was about 40 years ago, so the amount was quite significant.
I had a bad experience with a landlord determined to hell to rebuild all the balconies. He did a vote to see how many of us wanted this project to go through (He said that if it was less than 50% there wouldn't be any renovation. Well, he obviously expected people to love the idea. Only around 10% of tenants voted yes, but he decided to go through with it anyways)
The renovation was expected to last for 2 years. Most of us tenants only had windows in one direction, and they were all covered up in black plastic. Hence, no natural light in my apt. The rent was also drastically increased during the renovation project. And lastly, it was always so incredibly loud that you couldn't even hear your own thoughts.
For other reasons I moved out about a year ago. But my ex who still lives there should probably have gotten his balcony done by now.
