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 the most common landlord eviction horror stories?
Another common one is when landlords use false accusations to evict tenants. They might claim the tenant has damaged the property when it's not true. I heard of a case where a landlord said a tenant had painted the walls without permission when in fact the walls were in the same state as when the tenant moved in. The tenant had to fight in court to prove their innocence.

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 your eviction horror story.
I once had an eviction horror story. My landlord sold the property suddenly without proper notice. One day, I just got a notice saying I had to be out in a week. I was in the middle of a big project at work and had no time to look for a new place. I ended up having to store most of my stuff at a friend's and couch - surf for a while. It was a really tough and chaotic time.
