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.

Be Aware Of Your Rights, Everybody
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.”

Landlord Would Like Picture Proof The Hot Water Isn’t Working

what kind of photo did you expect? One where you can feel what temperature it is through the screen?
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.”

Wall Of Shame
With the pandemic putting our lives as we knew them before to the test, Josh believes that changes will stay in the rented property market too.
“Over the past two years, landlords have had the upper hand. They have treated tenants as disposable customers that they could charge incredibly high prices. In the future, not only will landlords be much more reasonable about prices, but also focus on retaining tenants by treating them with much more respect and leniency,” he said.

Why is being a landlord not a job? You have to maintain the property, collect rent, advertise vacancies, field inquiries and tenant issues, etc. I've never heard someone say that being a landlord isn't a job, but apparently this is a common thought. My WWII vet grandfather owned a few apartments. You better believe he treated that as a job.

Are You Sure?

In the US, you pay for a mold expert to come in, then they bill your landlord for their services after notifying the state licensing/etc. people that the properties are unsafe. There are mold expderts who will not charge *you* at all. I found one once.

It's not .... mass rent refusal, then boycott and protest to stop others being snagged in the same trap !!
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.

People don't seem to understand, that even though they got out of paying rent for X amount of months, the landlord still has to pay the mortgage to the bank, otherwise the property will be foreclosed on. The landlord then loses the property, and the tenant still ends up out on the street. And generally that rental income is what is paying the mortgage.

It's Rape, Dont Call It Anything Else
Jayne Kyra 3 years ago
For those defending the trash: Sex requires informed and willing consent. By having the option of being homeless or sleeping with your landlord, though you are making an informed decision to not be homeless, you are being coerced into doing the act, and thus not willing, which withdraws the consent, making it rape.

The worst part is knowing that in most cases the police or court will do nothing to protect the tenants. We live in a roten society.

I'm probably going to get flak posting as a landlord. I would rather return the security deposit if possible than running serious repairs, changing locks, doing major cleaning and stuff. But a lot of the tenants I had are simply not that courteous. So far only one lady kept the house such a good condition, I did not need to do anything besides hiring a cleaning crew after moving day. I've had people breaking pipes, furniture, doors even the floor tiles. One idiot even jerry rigged some wiring dangerously.

Oh no, that doesn't sound good. In my country (Finland) it is rare for the tenant to damage anything, unless they are addicts etc. Even the house deep cleaning is done by the tenant when moving out!
