Family Takes Revenge On Slimy Slumlord


Man, this slumlord sounds like he was one case of a particularly greedy and insensitive human being. You have a family muddling through a hard time, dealing with all kinds of troubling pests, and the slumlord can't be bothered to help? Absurd. Fortunately, the family was able to take a simple yet costly revenge against the landlord. With a little leakage from their trailer, they were able to eventually force the slumlord into having to pay $25,000 for repairs to fix a problem that didn't even exist.

Our water heater is falling through the floor. Rats and opossums are coming up through the heat vents in the floor.

Text - So...we got another slow leak, this time behind the bath tub. It was a wet winter, so our yard was a swamp anyway. The landlord paid the water bill, and the meters were set up so it was impossible to tell which trailer had the leak. So we decided to just let it leak. All. Winter. Long. The first month, he was bitching in the office one day about how high his water bill was. By the second month, the leak had started spraying water at the back of our tub, so it was bigger.

Text - By January, his water bills were so high that his "partner" came up, thinking he must be embezzling funds from the utility account. They called the water company again, and were told that the only way to fix the problem would be to seal the main water line that ran the entire length of the park. Basically, a crew comes out and blows a high pressure stream of some chemical that hardens on contact with the walls of the pipe and seals them-and it's a loooong pipe, lol. The 'repair" estimate
