Cringe-Worthy Text Message Exchanges Between People and Their Landlords

People often pray that they won’t end up with absentee landlords; that usually leads to a complete lack of investment in the rental property, and things rarely get fixed. However, some tenants don’t stop to think about the consequences of having an involved landlord. They see some of the ridiculous stunts their tenants pull.

Over-involved landlords care about the appearance of their building; they’ll sometimes put rules into the lease that dictate what tenants can and can’t do, affecting the look of the property. For example, some landlords specify that renters may not hang sheets in windows instead of curtains and that trash cannot be left in common areas. This landlord will likely add a blow-up doll clause to their lease.
