Share some bad landlord horror stories.
A friend of mine had a really bad experience with a landlord. The landlord charged them extra fees for things that were not even in the lease agreement. For example, he tried to make them pay for a so - called 'common area cleaning fee' when the tenant was responsible for only their own unit. And when they objected, the landlord threatened to evict them. It was so unfair and made their living situation extremely stressful.
There was a case where a landlord entered the tenant's apartment without any notice. He would just barge in whenever he felt like it, claiming he had the right to check on the property. The tenant felt so violated and unsafe in their own home. It was a nightmare for them. They had to constantly be on guard, not knowing when the landlord would show up unannounced.
Share some horror landlord stories.
I heard of a landlord who charged extra fees for the most ridiculous things. A tenant had a small plant on the balcony, and the landlord claimed it was 'decorative damage' and added a huge amount to the rent. It was like a nightmare for the tenant, constantly worried about what new charge would come up next.
Share some landlord eviction horror stories.
I knew a tenant who was always on time with rent. But the landlord wanted to renovate the building to sell it at a higher price. So, the landlord started to make the tenant's life miserable by cutting off utilities randomly. Eventually, the tenant was forced to leave under duress. It was really unfair as the tenant had done nothing wrong.
What are some common themes in bad landlord horror stories?
Unfair fees are also common. Landlords might try to squeeze extra money out of tenants for things that are not their responsibility. And there are also cases where landlords are extremely unresponsive to tenant requests. Tenants might have a legitimate problem, like a broken window that needs fixing, and the landlord just doesn't care and takes forever to do anything about it. This can make the living situation really difficult for the tenant. In some cases, it can even be dangerous, like if the broken window is a security risk.

One landlord horror story is when the landlord refused to fix a leaking roof. It rained heavily and water was dripping into the living room, ruining the furniture. Despite multiple requests, he just ignored it. Another time, a landlord entered the tenant's apartment without permission while they were away. It made the tenant feel very violated. Also, there was a case where a landlord suddenly increased the rent by a huge amount in the middle of the lease term without any valid reason.

Sure. One landlord horror story I know is that the landlord suddenly increased the rent by a huge amount without any prior notice. The tenant was already on a tight budget and couldn't afford the new rent. Another one is that the landlord refused to fix a broken heating system during the cold winter, leaving the tenant freezing in the apartment.

Share some bad DM horror stories.
A friend told me about a DM who was extremely controlling. In their game, the DM would not allow any deviation from their pre - planned plot. For example, when the players tried to come up with creative solutions to problems, like using magic in an unexpected way, the DM would simply say 'no' without any real explanation. This made the game feel more like a dictatorship than a collaborative role - playing experience.
Share some bad teacher horror stories.
I knew of a teacher who was extremely unfair in grading. She favored certain students and would give them high marks even when their work was mediocre. Meanwhile, other students who worked hard got much lower grades for similar quality work. This unfairness created a very negative and competitive atmosphere in the class.
Share some bad guests horror stories.
I had a so - called 'guest' who showed up with a bunch of uninvited people. They were extremely noisy all night long, playing loud music and shouting. They also helped themselves to my liquor cabinet without permission and got drunk and rowdy. It was so disrespectful.
