Share marvelous stuff your lovely divine landlord has done.
Mine had the door painted over. Including the peephole. You cannot open the clap because of the thick layer of paint.
Also, they didn’t check if the shower is working. It wasn’t.
Hanging power sockets.
Not working light switches.
They had me move in today so I believed they were done with the renovation. They weren’t. The ancient toilet and sink are still in which will be replaced on Monday. I don’t get why they couldn’t let me move in after all was done.
Radiators painted over without being cleaned.
The deep drawer shelf you put under an oven is on the top counters. I don’t even see inside. Neither does anyone else, the crew who installed it forgot their food from it.
There’s no normal drawer for cutlery.
There’s a hole in the wall from ventilation for the mini kitchen which they didn’t patch up.
They didn’t clean the apartment.
The lightbulbs are just hanging from the ceiling with power cabled visible. Including in the bathroom.
And there’s probably more but it’s just this one apartment. I cannot wait for them to be done with all so I can gayify my place. My first time living alone. :) I have far worse stories from previous rentals but I want to hear yours!
Mine ignored a raccoon living in the walls until it died. In the walls.
Really glad to hear your landlord died in the walls. 🫡 How’s the racoon?
Moving into the back wall at the widow’s place.
Had a Landlord who wanted us to just wait over the weekend for her to call a plumber, it’s not a big deal, I’ll call someone on monday. Like where did she expect us to poop, the sink?
Not my landlord, but I lived next to a karate studio once, and one morning really early someone was pounding on my door really loud. So, as you do, I went down to check it out with a sword in hand, while my roomate was waiting at the top of the landing with his sword, because we were men in our early 20s sharing a brain cell.
Either way, open the door, it’s two ripped Karate instructors who start yelling at us because someone was walking around on their roof and they thought it was us. I think I told them to never come over and try to intimidate me again, it’s not my problem, if you have people on your roof call the cops. BUt it was all a looooong time ago. Also I should note, my hand with the sword was behind the door, so they never saw it. Adventures in being young and dumb.
Excuse me why did you have a sword and what sword are we talking? A claymore? Was it a prop or actual one? If actual was it made dull? So many questions.
are you TervellI’m not a terf wtf 😭
Talking about @Tervell@hexbear.net
I’m no one else but myself. I used to go by Silly Little Jester on lemmygrad until I lost my password and password reset didn’t work.
I was joking, because Tervell is a user who posts weapons on here. He’s been posting swords and guns for years, so the interest in swords just reminded me. Was basically making an injoke that hexbear users’d recognise.
I don’t even remember. I have a lot of swords and it was a really long time ago. As to why - I used to do a lot of medieval sword fighting stuff, and America can be a rough place. Someone banging on your door aggressively early in the morning usually doesn’t have your best interests in mind, so it was an abundance of caution thing. I’ve long sense switched to answering the door with a giant cannister of pepper spray. Less likely to kill someone, much more effective at incapacitating cops, door to door salespeople, and large aggressive wildlife.
Mine didn’t do any upkeep for 2 years, including refusing to clean up black mold and then threatened to sue us when we left the place a mess when we moved out. Sorry, our place got kinda messy what with the floors flooding regularly and filling our possessions with mold.
In my last apartment I was charged $800 for carpet upon moving in because “the previous tenants ruined it and the incoming tenants are responsible” somehow. I argued with it but ultimately I needed a place immediately because my roommate at the time was stealing my stuff. Guess who only got $100 of their $950 deposit back because “the carpet needed replacing” on the way out. Also tried to leave a nasty google review and they petitioned google to remove it and google actually removed it.
Another reason for fuck Google.
Mine sold the building while i was trying to buy it.
A list of things from an old comment I made that have applied to different places I’ve lived:
“Why is half of the house on one circuit breaker, just the dishwasher on the other, and the rest of the house is unaffected by any of the other 5 breakers that seem to do absolutely nothing?”
16 gauge wire in the walls
“Why are my walls bleeding this weird brown goo after 6 months?”
No GFCIs in any of the bathrooms or the kitchen
The room that is always at least 5 degrees colder or hotter than every other room, no matter how many fans you use or windows you open
“Granite” countertops that get dents in them if you leave anything on top of them overnight
“What the fuck is that noise?”
Popcorn ceilings that very much do not hide the lumps and gaps in the drywalling
The Mystery Light Switch that somehow makes your wifi slow down but doesn’t control any other appliance, light, or outlet
The toilet that gurgles every night at exactly 3:22 AM and constantly smells like sewer gas, and none of the 7 plumbers you’ve called can figure out why
Uhh did you find out what the goo was?
Not exactly sure what the material is, but it was caused by a previous resident smoking in the apartment. I just had to keep washing it off the walls forever til I moved out.
