We all know that there is no greater headache (if you’re a renter) in many regions of the world than participating in the rental market. Landlords are notoriously deceptive, and there are far too many out there who want nothing more than to defraud those who provide them with a source of passive income. Nonetheless, millions of people have little choice but to rent if they want to have a place to call home. It can feel like those who own our homes have us over a barrel all of the time, which is why hearing stories of people achieving justifiable retribution is so satisfying.
This was the case with u/cousin, EpicWinterWolf’s who took matters into her own hands after learning that her landlord was planning to evict nearly everyone in her building on fraudulent grounds in order to renovate and raise the rent.

They didn’t say how they planned to redecorate, though. want to hear the story of malicious compliance and revenge? Scroll down below and have a good time.
