'When I moved out they billed me $1500 for breach of contract': Tenants share their landlord horror stories

Surviving a terrible landlord at one point in your adult life feels like securing a badge of honor. Sure, everyone has to deal with the usual landlord issues, whether that's an inexplicable rent increase or a refusal to fix an appliance, but there comes a time when your landlord goes too far and you need to stand up for yourself.

These landlord horror stories were compiled from the following r/AskReddit thread, and it just goes to show that even if you're a good landlord, stories like this are bound to get around and will make people assume you're the worst kind of person. Some of these stories involve entire buildings getting shut down by power companies, fabricated excessive charges, and hiring unqualified workers to do jobs. A few of these scenarios, thankfully, resulted in more triumphant endings, as some tenants took their landlords to court and won. Keep scrolling below for the full anecdotes. When you're done, take a look at these top Karens from this past week.
