In America, more and more people are living on rent now than ever before because of different factors; one of them is less income working as a student, which leads to not qualifying for home loans.
Some students do have the support of their wealthy parents, but the ones with no help can’t afford to buy and pay taxes, are helpless and prefer to live in a place where they are the tenants. These tenants have shared their stories on twitter to show their frustrations, and you are going to go crazy over them!
Tell us about your worst experiences of landlords.

In one houseshare, the landlord, a previously successful solicitor, turned up one day and announced that he'd lost his shirt in a pyramid scheme and was going to have to move in. With his family.

We had about a week's notice and all five of us found somewhere else to live in no time flat, no mean feat in early '90s London.
Then yeah, he did.— Rob H&ynes (@RobOnABike) January 31, 2018
My old student landlord invented a fictional mgmt company and maintenance contractor. It was really just him with 3 different phones. Used to put on different voices & pretend he was waiting on the other two when we raised problems. 1/2

We rumbled him when we saw the WhatsApp photo was his face, for all 3 numbers 🤣 He was eventually jailed for other reasons: https://t.co/gN9oYshdK0: 2/2

Went into my bedroom and took photos of my underwear to ‘prove’ I was untidy.

I've had no fire alarms for 5 years and last time I moaned about a hole in my roof they sent me an eviction notice.

Went to see our landlord at his house about some problem with our flat. He answered the door and pretended that he was someone else and that he'd never seen us before. We walked away confused.

"Do you use the lounge much?"
"Yes, we lounge in it. Why do you ask?"
"I'm moving a couple in there today"
"But it doesn't have a door!"

Let himself into the flat numerous times without warning (the things he saw)
Took me to court for issues that were there before I moved in.
Always had a bogey just peeking out of a nostril.All one horrible man named Ian.

Sent a hilarious letter to the court when we sued him for our security deposit which talked about how "the boys slept on beds with no sheets on them, and left the toilet covered in secretions" Not excretions. But SECRETIONS.

My ex signed up for a flat which was advertised at x pounds per month. They realised after moving in that it was actually x pounds per four weeks and the landlord was getting an extra month's rent off everyone per year.

We were told "builders were going to be doing work in the living room". I come home to find they've built a wall across our nice large living room so they can turn half of it into another bedroom to rent out

I shared a flat with a bunch of art students and our landlord did a runner and DIDN'T take our money. We saved the rent 'just in case' and after a year of him being off the radar we moved house and used the money to make a record. So the opposite of a bad experience really.
