Reckless tenants cost landlord thousands in insurance claims, landlord retaliates by throwing their personal boxes in the trash: 'If you don't care about people's stuff, you can't expect them to care about yours'

It's usually obvious who is in the wrong in a landlord-tenant dispute. While it's difficult to generalize all iterations of these conflicts, nine times out of ten, an absent landlord is flexing their false sense of authority and blatantly ignoring the rights of their tenants. 

Most of us have been in situations like this. Perhaps there is a roach problem or an incessant, seemingly irreparable leak in the ceiling. You try to get in touch with your landlord, but they gaslight you into thinking they are doing everything they can. In reality, you know they are doing next to nothing. You even consider calling the city to get involved, until you learn that dozens of unresolved complaints have been made about your building's management issues. Yes, this is something that I have experienced firsthand. In some ways, people who live in cities like New York joke about the importance of going through a tumultuous experience as a tenant in order to gain a thick skin. Personally, do I feel like I needed to undergo a year of torment in order to get stronger? No, but can I laugh about the experience now? Sometimes.

In this instance, we have a surprising situation in which the tenant was the person in the wrong. Check out the full story from the perspective of this generous author who rented out an apartment to a chaotic family!
