If you’ve ever lived in a rental, you already know the struggle starts way before you even move in. First comes the exhausting hunt for a decent place that fits your budget, isn’t falling apart, and doesn’t require sacrificing your soul. Then there are the neighbors, who can range from pleasantly quiet to mysteriously loud at all hours. And of course, there are the landlords — the real wildcard in the rental experience. Some are helpful and reasonable, but others can be downright infuriating.
From questionable repairs and bizarre rules to outright discrimination and classic “landlord specials,” renters have truly seen it all. Today, we’ve compiled a list of landlords who left tenants completely stunned with their behavior. Keep scrolling to see just how bad it can get.

#61 My Landlord Recently Texted Me To Let Me Know I’ve Been Paying My Rent $0.10 Below The Amount Listed In My Lease Agreement
TEN CENTS… For the last two months… Fine, whatever.., but then requested the $0.20 be reimbursed in my next check, lmao also I pay a suspiciously high monthly rent for renting a rent-stabilized unit (unrenovated, outdated railroad unit at that). I am just floored at him almost insinuating that this “underpayment” is causing him financial troubles, HIM!!!
P.S. His father just died (my original landlord), and he just inherited all of the properties lol get a real job instead of relying on collecting exorbitant checks from working class folks.

#62 Whhhhyyyyy Do Landlords Always Pick This Flooring!?
We finally got that dip in our floor fixed and they ended up "replacing" the floors (putting new flooring on top of the old one).
I'm so pressed about the ugly millennial grey. Like, everything in the kitchen is yellow, beige, or light wood tones. WHYYYYY would they choose this hideous grey!? Now my kitchen is never going to look right unless they redo the entire thing.
And I promise you, they won't, not until we move out at best. It took me years to get them to fix a major dip in the floor, they are under no means going to be doing cosmetic fixes on these apartments. Especially with having so many city citations recently.
I'm just so sick of this "modern" look! It's soulless! It's ugly! And the guy couldn't move the fridge properly, so he just put this stop on the edge after knocking my coffee flavor down. It was already hard to sweep in that corner, now it's impossible because that black thing stands up like a wall.
I'm just so depressed that my apartment got somehow uglier. All I've ever wanted was to live in a pretty home, but I just can't afford it (I'm on no income while I wait for disability, and I'm lucky I have a home at all at this point, so I really should be grateful, and I am, I'm just also sad). I'm so heartbroken. I hate this so much.
