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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, 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
Today, I came home to found all of my belongings out on the street. My roommate, who is also my brother, apparantly neglected to pay his part of the rent, and we got evicted. 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's why you get RENTER's INSURANCE and sue their asses! Especially if it's a dorm. At least all they got was material, and nothing sentimental/very expensive...

You don't know that. All their stuff, some was bound to have sentimental value to them.

they usually should give you two weeks notice before they do that. that is horrible conduct and you can probably sue for a ton of money.

My apartment complex has my cell phone number whenever I go out of town, and our lease agreement states that if they are to enter my apt for ANY reason they have to call me first if I'm not there. If they violate that I get to do pretty much whatever - up to and including sue the complex for breach of contract. If they left your stuff outside and didn't contact you over a clerical error - I suspect that you'll be owning the complex shortly so don't worry too much about your stuff... hah.

A lot of times people on here say "sue them" over any little thing, but I agree with the others on here- this warrants a lawsuit. Whatever insurance doesn't cover, sue their asses for. That's absolutely ridiculous. You were gone a week? And they didn't say anything to you before you left? That seems like an awfully short period of time to kick someone to the curb, whether it was an accounting error or not. Screw them. Any reasonable landlord would have given you several notices. If you didn't respond, they then should have tried to contact a relative or friend of yours, THEN they should have put your stuff in storage and charged you for the cost, not thrown it out into the street. If you sue them, you'll probably be successful since they didn't do any of that.

that's really weird... normally you have to give 30 days notice before eviction, even if they think you didn't pay. they messed up big time
