Landlords Try To Renege On Deal, Fail To Return To Deposit, Karma Comes To Collect


Some of those landlords think that they can get away with just about anything. Well, these tenants weren't messing around. All that greed ended up costing the landlords over $13K. Should've just done the right thing from the start. Check out some more juicy landlord drama with this tenant who staged a coup d'état on a nasty landlord.

Text - r/ProRevenge u/SusieSuze • 1y + Join 1 Renege on our deal? Fail to return our damage deposit? Karmas a bitch!! We found an amazing luxury penthouse to rent as a treat to ourselves. We knew it wasn't forever as it was so expensive, but the job my husband had at the time was lucrative. The leasing agent screened and approved us, we wanted a 2 year rather than an 18 month lease, and the owners agreed. Then we get an urgent call from the owners that this longer lease meant they would have to

Text - Two weeks into our lease, notices from the strata are put up stating the construction noise will be starting soon. A huge communication tower was being installed on top of our building. You can imagine what's next. Month of concrete drilling directly over our heads- and with our insane schedules in the film industry, we often worked 18 hour shifts into the wee hours and and slept a few hours during the day. We live through this bullshit for 10 months! It was hell. We asked for some kind o

Text - The Amenities in the building included a hot tub, which we used often. Apparently the strata decided that they wouldn't try to fix the problems when the health board shut down the hot tub due to contamination. We also knew that when a unit is advertised and rented with amenities, if an amenity isn't provided, you are able to get back the value of that amenity from your rent. So we kept track of the hot tub not being in working order for 8 months. The landlords were actually not really tha

Text - the noise issue. Then 18 months after our lease started we received a notice with a rental increase! I was absolutely flabbergasted! They had agreed to 24 months and here they were trying to up our rent 18 months later, (this after we save them $1750!) That's what you get for being nice! So we reminded them of the 24 month agreement, so they ever so graciously suggested that instead of immediate increase that they would give us three months of no increase. WTF Reneging on our deal. What a

Text - The Residential Tenancy Board in our province states that if they don't return the damage deposit within 15 days, they may owe up to double the deposit back. Two weeks goes by and no deposit deposit returned. They told us they were waiting for the amount owing on the gas bill (for the fireplace) before returning the deposit. Two months goes by. WTF. You are holding our $1750 deposit for a tiny amount? Fuck these jerks!! The decision was made- time to show them. Now we have more than enoug

Text - We had a telephone hearing and ended up winning our case!! So the early increase in rent could have gotten them an extra $450 plus the fireplace gas that would have gotten them maybe $50 (ended up the strata stopped charging for gas). We were awarded $6243 on top of the $1750 deposit. Even funnier is we noticed the place advertised for rent for 2 months- so they lost that rent , plus they ended up renting it at a lower price than what we originally paid so they never got their increase at
