Today, I got back to my apartment from being away for the past week on Spring break. I found the locks on my apartment changed and all my things on the curb, many of them broken or stolen. I ran to the leasing office to see what had happened. Turns out it was an accounting error on their part. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I returned from a week-long vacation. My landlord told me he had let my boyfriend in my apartment to get something. I don't have a boyfriend. Everything in my apartment is gone. FML
Today, I had just gotten home after being away for 8 months. My key didn’t work on my lock and while I was messing the door a man with a child opened. My landlord gave someone my apartment while I was away. 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, after quite a long work day, I got home to find my house had been broken into. Everything but my sleeping boyfriend was gone. FML
Today, I found myself locked out of my apartment because my roommate had a medical emergency while I was out of town. The rental office, including maintenance, is closed until Monday. FML
Today, I visited my girlfriend's apartment for the first time. I guess she forgot to do some spring cleaning before I showed up, because I saw my laptop on her couch. The same laptop that was stolen from my house along with several other valuables last week. FML
Today, I got my deposit back from my last apartment. The receipt is riddled with math errors. I'd told them I’m an accountant when I moved in, so I redid the receipt in my own time to see how bad they fucked it up. They owe me $400 more due to their mistake, and I’m sure I’ll never see any of it. FML
Today, I tried to surprise my parents by coming home from college for Spring Break. I arrived to find a dark house, with all the doors bolted shut. After calling them, I found out that they have gone on a vacation to Hawaii for a week. I am now locked out of my own house, with no where to stay. FML
Today, I came back to my apartment after moving most of my stuff out. Upon returning, I learned that my now ex-roommate drank all of my alcohol and threw away my things, thinking that I had forgotten them. FML
Today, after being in Europe for a month, I got home to find my door wide open and all my stuff gone. I called my dad who was supposed to be watching my house. He told me I should have had someone check on my place while I was gone. FML

well i'm sure either you/they have insurance, and you can always take them to court, esp. to sue them for not only material but also "emotional" damages.

That really is terrible. I'm surprised though. In most states they cannot have you evicted that quickly, certainly not without notifying you first. They have to give you a chance to say "oh shit, the rent" even if you really did forget to pay. They were way out of line here and you could probably get the whole business shut down for unlawful practices. In Massachusetts's, at least, it takes 30 days minimum to evict someone, and that only if it's summer, in winter they cannot evict you or shut off your heat!

If they're not already giving you free rent or money for damages it's time to sue.

"Accounting error?" BS! Sue!

I find this entire story hard to believe. There's an error even in the little story itself : "I found the locks on my apartment changed and all my things on the curb, many of them broken or stolen." How exactly do you see something stolen from you? Does a thug just sit there, holding up a sign with big red lettering and a Wii taped to it "I STOLE THIS FROM YOU" or something like that? Another flaw, assuming your Spring Break was only one week: In nearly every state (if not all, I'm pretty sure it's all) it's a requirement of two weeks with notice before eviction from any rented property. Now, if the first was just a simple grammatical error and the second was really an accounting error then maybe this is a flawless, and truly evil scenario to be stuck in... but now I suppose why this name is Literacy and why grammar is SO IMPORTANT -_-

I'm sure she believed things were stolen when she noticed certain belongings weren't there.
