Scumbag Landlord
I had a landlord rent me a room. I paid first and last months rent. When moving in he told me the room he showed me wasn’t available. He showed me a converted CLOSET. Literally a 12′ x 4′ space. He knew I was stuck. His rules? No kitchen usage.
No BATHROOM usage. No strong smells (he complained about my roll-on deodorant being way too strong. No one else even notices). I had to be out by 6 AM, couldn’t return until 10 PM. For $600 a month.
None of this was disclosed or remotely reasonable. We had a very heated argument when he told me all this, but at the time I had no choice. I stayed there two months.
He constantly made threatening comments to me, refused me access to the house at random intervals, and I caught his friends stealing from me twice. He said ‘lawyer up.’
I did. I won. He threw me out after court. Literally drove back, took stuff from my parked car by smashing a window and sold it to his friend. Then he threw everything else in the yard and peed on it.
We went right back to court a week later. He ended up losing the place because he was subletting without permission. Story credit: Reddit / Paretio
