Anyone else dealing with some landlord related bullshit lately. I feel like I have some sort of curse, from landlords being international KKK members to being gentrified out of another place. The latest nonsense is a landlord expecting a sizeable rent increase and refusing to budge, in the middle of a pandemic no less, while the place next door is better in every way and has a cheaper rent, even before the increase. Like how greedy can you get! My god landlords never learn.
Ugh tell me about it, fucking parasites.. dealing with them through an agency is even worse and lets them insulate themselves from any form of responsibility or feeling of normal human compassion... My partner and I have our first child on the way and had advised them of the fact and that we may need to apply for a shorter lease while we look for a cheaper options as my partner cannot work and I’m stuck with a low paying job. Instead they came back with a rent increase for the shorter time period or the longer time at the current rate. So forced in to a searching for other options, except now under pressure to find before the lease expired, very luckily managed to find somewhere cheaper and actually nicer but am now realising they’ve worked in all this ambiguous BS in the property condition report that’s allowing them to claim all sorts of damages that needs to be repaired that was originally there when we first moved but we hadn’t specified with enough detail to fight them on.. even after paying cleaner to go through they’re now keeping the whole bond and will probably try extort more from us for “maintenance” after they claim they have to replace the entire carpet floors due to some minor stains.. Un-fucking-believable that people can act in such a way when they are well aware of the financial issues which led to us asking for a shorter lease in the first place. Not to mention I know the agent knows they’re a BSing as she’s inspected the place multiple times before and has not once mentioned any of the “damages”... Ima just end thIs rant before I get too aggro so I’ll suffice to say this shit has really got Mao thinking...
Similar thing happened to me once, said I need a decrease in rent and the landlord said they'd decrease it for a period of time, and then increase it again for the same period of time so there was no effective discount on rent. Mao was right :mao-shining:
This was in South Africa in the middle of nowhere. As soon as I saw that sticker (they put it on years after we moved there) I told my parents (I was a child at the time) it's time to move out, and they agreed as they also saw it after I pointed it out. From the beginning I thought the landlord was suspicious, but no one believed me. Tried to open a police case of racial discrimination against them but had no evidence so it went nowhere.

International KKK? Is there a KKK in counties that aren't the US?
They had a KKK sticker on their car at one point and I don't live in America, so I dunno, I guess so?
On their car? Where do you live where that doesn't just result in tire slashing?
