Landlords and Weird: Scumbag

Scumbag

By Anonymous - 07/01/2015 16:29 - Sri Lanka

Today, my scumbag landlady broke into my place and stole my mop, which I refused to give her earlier. She denied everything and tried to convince me that some criminal broke in using a key, stole only my mop, and was nice enough to lock up on the way out. FML

Today, I discovered that my cleaning lady steals valuables from me, and covered it up by saying that "the vacuum must've eaten it." FML

Today, after taking a shower, I realised that my landlord was peeking in the whole time through broken ventilator. Once he tried to get into my room, using his keys. I couldn't tell the landlord's wife, as I didn't have any proof so I left the house, even though my rent was long due. FML

Today, a week after spending most of my paycheck on a down-payment and rent on a new apartment, I found out the "landlord" I paid was a scammer. Turns out the real owner was away on vacation, and he'd stolen most of her stuff before showing me the place. FML

Today, I was in my family's hotel room taking a dump. The lock to the bathroom was broken so we had made a deal: when the door is closed, someone is using the toilet. The maid didn't know that. She punched me in the face because she claimed I scared her. FML

Today, I asked my landlady if she could fix the air conditioner that's been broken since I moved in. Instead, she came round and took away my bathroom mirror, along with all the toilet paper. FML

Today, I came home to find that my roommate had picked my lock and stolen my new laptop. When I tried to take it back, he called the police. They sided with him since he had also taken the receipt, which was "proof" that it was his. FML

Today, some ass-bandit broke into my house by smashing a window, just so he could steal the ancient VHS cassette player that my wife wouldn't let me throw away. Thanks, scumbag, but the front door was unlocked. FML

Today, my roommate asked me to lock the door as we left our place. I told her to use my keys, because my hands were full. Afterwards, she and her boyfriend set off out of town for the next couple of days. She forgot to give me back my keys. FML

"Which I refused to give her earlier" I feel like there's an entire magical mop-related backstory that the public has to know, damnit!

I would seriously get out of there. Landlords need to know limits.

I've heard of some weird landlord requests, but never one where they wanted their mop... Good luck, OP!

That's illegal, in America at least. Landlords need to let the renters know ahead of time when they're coming over. Just because they own the place and have a key doesn't mean they can just barge in like that. If there are renters there, landlords need to respect them, and vice versa. OP, it was only a mop, I hope the reason you didn't let her borrow it was something like never getting the mop back, or getting a damaged mop back.

Call law enforcement on her, but not before you lie & tell her you had a hidden camera in your place & footage of her stealing from you unless she returns the mop...and that you'll press charges for theft & illegal entry if she ever does it again.

And then go out and actually buy a camera/surveillance system so you can catch her when she does something crazy like this again.

Why didn't you just give her a loan of the mop in the first place? Our landlord owns a shop underneath our apartment and sometimes he'd knock and ask for our hoover and there's never any trouble...Although, our landlord is just a little old man who owns a cute little bike shop, your landlady sounds like a crazy bitch!!
