'You'd be losing money!': Real estate agent landlord increases rent $500, tenant costs him $20k years later

There are few people you can truly trust in this world… and none of them are real estate agents or landlords. Two groups of people who make a name and a living for themselves by carving the flesh off of the unsuspecting. They'll stop at nothing to ensure they always walk away on top and with some extra coin in their pocket.

So, it's unsurprising that a real estate agent who also landlords their own properties might be a little unethical and uncaring when it comes to profit-seeking and the fattening of their own wallet. That is exactly how u/RockyMoose's landlord was in this classic story, originally shared on Reddit's r/ProRevenge subreddit.

In his story, u/RockyMoose described how, in the late 90s, he rented an apartment in a new city after getting a new job as a software developer. His landlord, who was also a real estate agent, was shocked to learn the amount he was earning in this new burgeoning trade, becoming increasingly jealous of his earnings. When the time came to extend the lease into a shorter periodic arrangement, the landlord jacked the rent way up, charging $500 more overnight. Years later, the two would meet again, and the landlord would be the one drawing the short straw.
