These 19 Landlords Had Tenants From Hell

Brought bedbugs into the apartment building (4 apartments total) then called the health department to complain about bedbugs. Another person walked through the grass to go for a smoke while dragging the oxygen tank, tripped, fell and sued. Another person vacated her apartment, left the window open in the middle of winter, water pipe in the ceiling froze and cracked by the time we got to the apartment 1 hour later; whole ceiling collapsed.

2 bedroom unit, rented to two girls. [Grown woman, mind you with jobs etc]. Complained there were roaches [previous tenant had no roach problem, we even had it cleaned and so none]. We get it taken care of, still complained there were. Now we’re thinking she or her roommate brought them. Skim to them both leaving on Oct 31. We get the key and check the unit, it is trashed. They left most of their behind, bottles on the counter, glasses, plates, cutlery, clothes, shoes, food just all over the place. And roaches, lots of them. We call junk removers, they don’t remove unless it’s roach free. Called pest control; they advise to remove the things before they do their jobs. FML

Had a guy rent a studio in a 300+ unit high rise I managed. He seemed only semi-creepy, but when his brother arrived from Canada for a week long visit I realized it definitely ran in the family. The brother came out on their balcony at 6AM and starts screaming that he wants to blow up a large nearby tech company that semi-creep worked at. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he was wearing an open bathrobe. Nothing else. One of his neighbors thankfully called 911. We had SWAT onsite for about four hours evacuating the other residents, setting up snipers, the usual. Basically just another Monday.

Big old Victorian style house in a nice neighborhood, on moving out they left literally a foot thick pile of clothing covering the entire basement floor, which would have been fine if the pipes weren’t also leaking, so most of the clothes were sopping wet and molding.
