Tenants Tell What It’s Like Renting from an Uncaring Landlord

No good story starts with “I rented a home that was built in the 1800s.” Don’t you know that the ghosts congregate in such places?! Anyway, the heater in this dilapidated home was working, but the pipes froze and were on the verge of bursting in winter. The landlord finally came over after receiving threats of legal action.

The landlord came over and “fixed” the pipe problem. However, after two months of spiked utility bills, the tenant decided to look for the source. After removing a floorboard, he discovered that the landlord’s “solution” was to point a space heater at the cold pipes. It was running 24/7 when the landlord came over two months earlier.
