Sometimes, things go wrong. Like, your toilet breaking without reason, or your bathroom tiles falling out of the wall and shattering your big toe, or getting robbed by a bunch of hoodlums who piss in your oven. In these times of need, we turn to those with a checkbook.
Sadly, Cheapskate Landlord wears his purse strings tighter than an American Apparel bodysuit ad. Instead of fixing your bowl, he claims your bowel movements caused the ceramic to shatter. And unless you can prove the tile debacle wasn’t a weak attempt at suicide, this scrooge ain’t coughing up a penny.
You know what he will cough up though? A lung – after a stern blow to the trachea. And rumor has it, lungs go for a hefty sum on the black market. Just sayin.’

Wow, my former landlord falls under this category for sure
You know what? Humans breathe. We need to breathe.
My landlord refuses to install window winders on my windows so when it’s windy, the windows must be kept shut or they will blow in and shatter. Oxygen slowly disippates and is replaced by carbon dioxide. Fine if you’re a tree I suppose. The air gets thick and unbreathable. When it’s hot and windy, The heat inside my apartment reaches around 104 degrees when it’s 86 outside.
The water heater is older than time and constantly boils and overheats. Every time I need to use hot water, I have to risk life and limb by lighting the pilot light with a gasmatch.
The venetian blinds are broken and stuck shut, obscuring the view – the only drawcard in this top-dollar rental property.
I don’t know what this man deserves. Perhaps five hours stuck in an apartment with no oxygen, or a punch in the face.
Best description ever!! my landlords were so cheap they didnt want to hire someone to clean our house after we moved out, so as tenants we had to do it and get it approved by him. Needless to say we failed our walk through, because the oven had grease in it from several years ago and the lightbulbs didn’t match in the hallway, which i didn’t know was possible. So my roomates and I spent the next day inhaling fiberglass shards in order to scrape off the years of caked on grease scum in the oven and replacing the eco-friendly light bulbs that we put in with regular bulbs because according to him the eco-friendly ones are a “scam”.
Hey, here’s an idea! Quit flushing your $ down the toilet & get a mortgage on your own home! Then, you get to fix the broken tiles & toilets! LOL!
My toilet broke without reason, and my landlord waited several days to call a plumber. I spent those days peeing outside and pooping at the Kmart across the street. I hope Kmart didn’t mind.
I tripped a circuit breaker last week, cutting off all outlets in my apartment except 2. I called the landlord to come over to reset it (the box is in the basement and I don’t have access). She kindly informed me that she was on vacation on the other side of the country, and that 2 outlets should be enough for me until she returned in 5 days.
At an apartment I had in Brooklyn, the landlord left us without a refrigerator for over a month.
lol, are you renting from my landlord too? our bathroom tiles fell in a couple weeks ago-we’re choosing to look at the bare spots as a pattern. It’s a whole new look!
There’s always the landlord who seems not to understand…that there is more to residential property management than just cashing rent checks each month.
OMG… same description but different pic and it’s my ex-slumlord, Walter Roach of Roach Enterprises who rents rundown, should be condemned properties in Franklin, Indiana!!! He’s too short to punch without losing your balance, so maybe a drop kick?!!
