Having an amicable relationship with your landlord can be vital to feeling comfortable and at home in a space. So you pay your rent on time, you avoid making too much noise, and you are careful to respect the space. You never cause disputes, and you go out of your way to be kind whenever you encounter your landlord and their family. Yet for some reason, no matter how hard we try to be the perfect tenant, sometimes landlords go out of their way to create problems…
One tenant, LeatherSeveral7614 on Reddit, recently reached out to others online asking for some advice on a heated situation they found themselves in with their landlord. Below, you can read the frustrated renter’s full story and decide what you think their best course of action would be, and then let us know in the comments how you would respond to a landlord who tried to squeeze money out of you in this way. We hope you don’t have any similar personal experiences with landlords, but if you do, feel free to share them with your fellow pandas down below. And then if you’re interested in reading another Bored Panda article featuring landlord and tenant disputes, check out this piece next.

Howdy, I'm Adelaide! I'm originally from Texas (yeehaw!), but after graduating from university with an acting degree, I relocated to sunny Los Angeles for a while. I then got a serious bite from the travel bug and found myself moving to Sweden and England before settling in Lithuania about two years ago. I'm passionate about animal welfare, sustainability and eating delicious food. But as you can see, I cover a wide range of topics including drama, internet trends and hilarious memes. I can easily be won over with a Seinfeld reference, vegan pastry or glass of fresh cold brew. And during my free time, I can usually be seen strolling through a park, playing tennis or baking something tasty.

This doesn’t make sense. Why would you pay for their ambulance just because it was your laundry? Not your responsibility to babysit their kid. The fact they would even ask you to pay is absurd.

It's beyond absurd. And it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact they didn't raise the rent four months ago. I don't understand how that factors into consideration in the least.They need to learn to watch their kid! The next eight months may be unpleasant.

Their kid, their dryer. If they had been supervising the kid properly and made sure not to keep unsafe faulty equipment around, nothing would have happened.

LOLOLOL! Tell them that you'll just turn around and sue the landlord for that amount plus legal and court fees. Then find your local renter's rights agency or NGO.
