‘I now tell them what a bad landlady she is’: Ex-tenant is still connected to building's door system, so he uses it to give a ‘buyers warning’ to potential new renters

Not all heroes wear capes. This time, the hero is just a faceless voice heeding a helpful warning. It all started three years ago when this Redditor lived in a complex that was run by an incompetent landlord. You know, the kind that never responds to you when you have an issue, never fixes anything, and the place gets constant violations because they refuse to do anything they're supposed to when keeping the place up. When you get this kind of landlord, usually you find out too late and have to endure an entire lease agreement with them.

Unless you come across a place with a hero like this Redditor! He lived at this place and withstood in horrible landlady's shenanigans until he moved out. However, while he was living there he was able to get his mobile phone connected to the door's entryway system. Now, three years later, and he's still connected to it. Instead of getting annoyed and fighting with the old toxic landlord to remove him from the system, he uses it for good. Whenever a potential new tenant rings the door to get in, he makes sure to let them know what they are walking into. So now, they get pre-warned before they even walk into the place to look at it that this is a bad landlord situation! If only all places had this system.
