Man, oh, man, this landlord sounds like they were a waking nightmare. Fortunately, the tenant knew their rights and was able to successfully overthrow the terrible landlord in court, to the tune of a six figure sum. On top of that, the tenant goes on to become the building manager. Talk about a fairytale ending.

I had no clue at the time my landlord was a fascist dictator. After she took my deposit and we moved in the problems started . She had all sorts of crazy rules like shirts on for men at the pool , no talking on cell phones in the hallway, no overnight visitors and a whole list of shit she literally made up a

    Text - Rectangle - I knew she was tolerated it until one day she decided kids were not allowed to play in the courtyard. She started harassing my son on a regular basis telling him he was not allowed to play in the courtyard. However I had an ace up my sleeve.

She then knocked on every door who had a kid and informed them that playing in the courtyard by kids was not allowed. When she came to me I simply asked her to hand it to me in writing. She did.

    Text - Needless to say , I hired an attorney and won. 6 figure sum of which 30% went to my sons trust in his name.

I was the resident manager for over two years. Pro revenge.

    Text - Font - Jessie_James • 4y Nice job. For reference, in most state "rules" cannot be passed unless they are for the welfare of all tenants and are not overly invasive. Things like: shirts on for men at the pool Probably illegal no talking on cell phones in the hallway Probably illegal no overnight visitors In most states that I have been a landlord, this one is absolutely illegal. 337 ...

Our settlements would have been much larger. Being that most tenants were immigrants everyone but me declined. When they found out I won they were extremely disappointed. 122 ...
