In 2023, landlords across the country yet again made life hell for tenants everywhere. Here are 23 screenshots of the absolute worst landlord tactics of the year, guaranteed to make you cry as you fill out your next rent check:

1.This landlord who tried to pull some shady sh*t and got put in their place:

2.This landlord who decided to have a sex party (totally fine, nothing wrong with that!) in their tenant’s backyard (not fine, do not do that):

3.This landlord who straight up took away their tenant’s front door:

4.This landlord who tried to control how much tenants use water:

5.This landlord who tried to charge a tenant for a door handle that broke off in his hand:
