'We filed a police report for harassment and terminated the lease.'

"I spent an entire year in my apartment with no hot water. I would reach out to the landlord and she would send the maintenance man who would look at the circuit breaker and tell me it was on. Once a month, I would reach out. Eventually, mushrooms started growing out of the walls and my kitchen bubbled from the pipes. I refused to pay rent until she fixed it. Then, shit started coming up from my shower drain. Professionals got involved.

"Thank god I wasn't in the shower or something. He proceeded to not return our full deposit despite doing a move-out walkthrough and confirming everything was fine."My junior year of college, a group of friends and I rented out some apartments that were dubbed 'The Solars' due to the solariums that were attached to each apartment. Halfway through the school year, one of my roommates moved out and a new one took his place.

"When confronted by the police, the landlord told them that he had seen furniture in the solarium and was convinced we had a squatter living there. The landlord demanded extra rent for allowing an additional person to sleep in the solarium. Furthermore, since there was a 'strange truck' in the parking lot, our landlord went on to tell the police that this squatter living in the solarium must be running an illegal chop shop and using the truck to distribute the parts.

The next few months consisted of our landlord sitting in his car and watching our apartment from the parking lot. He continued to call us daily demanding we pay him $1,000 for the mystery squatter. We filed a police report for harassment and terminated the lease.""I had no idea that our toilet flange was leaking since I never needed to go to the basement. When the floor tiles started to come up, I realized what was happening and reported the situation to the landlady. Being a licensed plumber, I offered to do the repairs for only the price of the materials.
