Tenant increased apartment value by tending to neglected garden, landlord attempts to ‘kick’ tenant out to profit from the fruits of his labor

Landlords could end up being your best friend or, in contrast, your biggest enemy. However, how would you respond if your landlord attempted to profit from the fruits of your labor? Would you silently submit or fight for what's right?

The story that follows is the story of a clever tenant. After residing in his apartment for some time, the Original Poster (OP) decided to remodel his yard in an effort to make his house feel more like a home. The garden was finally finished, with stunning foliage and blooms, after months of labor. When the landlord discovered what had been done to the once-horrible backyard, he decided to 'kick' the tenant out of the apartment and relist it for a higher fee because the magnificent garden that the tenant had been caring for had boosted the value of the house.

Having said that, it is clear that OP was not satisfied with the landlord's decision and decided to take matters into his own hands by exacting petty revenge. Therefore, be sure to read the story below if you're interested in learning how OP got even and whether the landlord was able to find new tenants. After you're done, don't forget to read the story of the housemate who settles the score with a cheapskate roommate who refuses to pay the bills by filling up the entire apartment with bubbles!
