Tenants Bemoan the Perils of Renting From Slumlords

Unless you're filthy rich or still live with your parents, chances are you've experienced the Apartment From Hell at some point in your adult life. All things being relative, a nightmarish flat can mean different things to different people. For some it means having a roommate who mistakes the kitchen for the bathroom every time they get trashed. For others it means renting from an absolute slumlord who thinks a hole in the middle of the living room floor is just 'normal wear and tear.' @isabeatty is one unfortunate tenant who shared an email she sent to her landlord about the 'ceiling falling down.' The tweet got an alarming response from thousands of other people who also had horror stories about shoddy construction and collapsing ceilings. It's good to have a sense of humor about these things to keep yourself sane, but damn, real estate developers and landlords better get it together—people are going to get hurt!
