The wilder the story , the good .
When it comes toThe Sims, those that get it, get it — and boy did I get it. I remember my first time discovering the game, when my siblings would play it on our family computer (millennials know) — and I wasn’t allowed to play. Apparently the vivacity of the ~woohoo~ was too scandalous for a nine-year-old.
When I found out aboutThe Sims 4 For Rent Expansion Pack— which opens up the opportunity to play as a tenant or a property manager (motherlode, am I right?) — I was beyond excited. Even more so when discovered that they’recollaborating with TikTok legend Angelo Marasiganto celebrate.
Personally, I was devastated, because I don’t have any wild landlord stories of my own. But to cheer myself up, I asked BuzzFeed staff if they had any tales to share. You’ll be pleased to know that they absolutely delivered.
Because I ’m so nice — and to provide you with a little inspiration , here are a handful of my pet :
1.“I once had a property manager reach out and say the owner wanted their gardener to come around to do some work — which wasn’t an issue. When the ‘gardener’ showed up, I recognised him from the house inspection before I moved in.”
" I was fairly certain he was the owner , but I went along with it ( even though I was reasonably sure that was in breach of my lease understanding for the landlord to just show up unpredicted — and basically under a false personal identity ) .
He was clearly not a landscaper or nurseryman — he and who I can only bear was his pappa just trimmed some hedge and were obviously low - tonality inspecting the planetary house , trying to be unassuming while telling me how courteous the planetary house was and asking if I enjoy living there .
What do you have a go at it , six months by and by when I moved out , he came around again to say thanks for being a gravid renter — quite brazenly to my face . He was evidently not considering that I might recognise him without his ' nurseryman ' disguise ( overalls ) . I wish I had confronted them , but I was ball over and confused by the whole matter and just let it go . "
2.“One time, after months of telling my landlord about the crack in my ceiling and being assured that it was ‘just plaster’, the cement roof collapsed directly onto my bed.”
" Thankfully , it was during the Clarence Day , otherwise I would not be here to order you about the part where , when my landlord add up to fix it and I ask foroneweek of free rent , she pulled down her pants and told me that she ’d just had surgical process , but had rushed over here to get it desex immediately , because she was a dear landlord .
I still had to make up rent and she did n’t repaint the ceiling for a year . "
3.“When I was renting a place in London, the shower would leak and come through the roof into the kitchen. So you genuinely had to put pans down if you wanted to shower. It was so damp, there were mushrooms growing out of the ceiling.”
" The landlord claim it was our fault for not installing a drain cover when we propel , so we ’d blocked the pipes . They resist to do anything about it . Eventually we got the council to come ' round , who take one look at the topographic point and enounce it was entirely illegal to charter in about eight different ways .
We then took the landlord to courtroom for breach of declaration and — conveniently — the landlord ' died ' on the day of the trial run . We won as they were n’t there to defend themselves , but only got back about four or five months engage each despite living there for two years .
They still had the gall to claim our place was ' filthy ' when we moved out , despite it being blank than when we moved in — and they took most of our James Bond . "
4.And finally, in contrast, this lucky duck — “Short but sweet one. I once had a landlord who didn’t raise my rent in eight years — and the apartment was in a really nice, secure building in the city. WIN!”
" When I eventually move out of there , though , inflation hit mehard . "
