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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
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 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 accidentally locked myself out of my apartment while taking the trash out, without my phone. I had to wait outside for three hours until my flatmate came home from work to let me back in. FML
Today, I left a note on the kitchen table saying to leave the door unlocked because I lost my key. I come home to find our house ransacked and robbed. Minutes later, I found my key. In my pocket. FML
Today, I was back home from work drinking coffee when I heard someone open the door with a key. It was my boyfriend, who obviously didn't expect to see me home. We don't live together, and I never gave him a key. FML
Today, I was arrested for breaking into a house. This is what happens when I lose my key. 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
Today, I was locked out of my house. After hours of trying to break the door, I found out I accidentally left a window open. The door, however, still needs to be replaced. FML
Today, I locked myself out of my apartment. But it’s 2024, so I have a smart lock I can unlock through an app on my phone. Except I also left my phone inside. The worst part? I had to ask my neighbor to call my mom so she could unlock my apartment from her phone. FML

If you were still paying rent, this probably violates your tenant's agreement. Especially if s/he knew you were leaving. And what happened to your stuff? And where were you for eight months?

Perhaps taking care of a sick family member? Or they were in the military?

Where is your stuff? Where you still paying rent? Did you tell the landlord/leasing office of your extended leave? Why did they rent the place out, that was their side of the story. Start getting a lawyer involved, ASAP.

NEI That’s the opposite of TMI. Did you give your landlord a heads-up you were returning? He could have told you what’s going on with the apartment.

I’m pretty sure that’s illegal unless you weren’t paying the bills

Sounds like he's getting DP'd. No not that, double paid.

"while I was messing the door a man with child opened." ...What?

It's very clear. While OP was destroying the apartment's front door trying to open it, a female-to-male transgender pregnant man unlocked the door with his key and came in.

I’ll take it never happened for $1,000 Alex. Unless you decided not to pay rent for 8 months too.

Nah, it's entirely possible the Landlord is really stupid and thought he could pull a fast one and get away with it.

I wish that were the case, but I've heard of landlords pulling off a lot of worst and just as illegal(if not more so) things than that.

Wait what? Your stuff? The rent? Were they aware you were going and returning? Are they sub letting it until your return? Lawyer up if you’re not at fault.
