How crazy is your landlord?

Question

I had a contract that said no snowball throwing is allowed while on the property. Then the cleaning list to checkout was a bit crazy too. You must clean every crack in the tile in order to get your full deposit back. I know he is just trying to protect his investment but what is all that money I paid him monthly for?

Answer 1

I had a landlady who used to deliberately embarrass her teenage daughter by broadcasting to tenants when she had her period or one time, how the daughter stopped up the toilet.

The landlady would gossip about other tenants in the building with every other tenant.

She wouldn't get rid of the freak who lived directly above me who, somehow, discovered the phone numbers of all the female tenants and was making obscene phone calls to all of them. They recognized his voice. What an idiot. He was making obscene calls to women who see him and hear him talk every day.

The ladies took matters into their own hands and made the weirdo WANT to leave. I can't say what was done because that might imply I had knowledge of it. Accessory after the fact and all that. Don't worry, they didn't kill the guy. Just scared him bad enough to make him want to leave.

This same landlady also counted how many times you used the laundry room and if you averaged more than once a week, she would complain about her water bill and act like she was going to raise everyone's rent to cover the cost of people who sometimes washed twice a week. This idea got squashed when lawmakers made some sort of weak rent control effort.

She didn't seem to mind how many "overnight guests" you had or how often as long as she got all the gossip on it and if the guests gave her no excuse to dislike them personally.

Answer 2

its called profit.

Answer 3

One day when you grow up you will understand your question!

Answer 4

The money you pay him for monthly is called RENT and gives you a place to live.  If you don't agree with the rules on the contract you shouldn't live there, easy enough.

Answer 5

Our last landlord was so crazy I could write a book!  We lived there 1 year.  We had electrical problems since day one and he refused to fix them!   We ended up calling the code enforcement officer and he was fined.  In retaliation, he evicted us on NO GROUNDS and we won.

A funny TRUE story (between me and my hubby and NOW Y!A):

In the waiting room before court my hubby told me that he was really horny and we were talking s**y to each other...he said he couldn't wait to get home because he was "fully loaded"....he was kissing on my neck, mind you!  The crazy landlord ....whose name IRONICALLY was d**k, was sitting across the room gazing at us.

Well, once we got into the court room and pled our cases, the judge gave his verdict and dismissed us.  d**k was angry as it was.... but had the nerve to say he wanted a police escort out of the courtroom because my hubby had a "fully loaded" GUN and was afraid he would be shot!

Answer 6

To pay his mortgage plus a bit of profit on his investment.
