Living in an apartment where the landlord is out to get you sounds like a nightmare situation.

In today’s story, the tenants rise up to take control away from their horrible landlord.

Let’s see how the story plays out…

Be an awful landlord I’ll become your bosses boss

I live in a low income apartment complex that is part of a housing organization that owns over 500 units in over 20 complexes (and counting) in my area.

The property managers have been running wild since covid…

The manager of that department is related to 3 of her direct employees and an awful person. She is a miserable person with serious control issues.

She likes to meddel in tenants personal lives and when she doesn’t get what she wants will threaten eviction.

The property manager is unnecessarily mean to OP.

I’m not entirely sure what I did to get on their bad side, but property manager boss who I will refer to as anus face has had issues with me for a couple of years.

About a year and a half ago, I walked out of my apartment to find a tow notice on my car.

After doing a little research I found out that the apartment complex was illegally towing vehicles by not giving proper notice.

I reach out to a friend in tears and she reached out to some local city officials, and I was able to save my car from being towed but this just infuriated anus face more.

She made it her goal to invade my personal life for her weird jollies.

Health issues prevented OP from taking action against the manager.

So I got together with some other tenants and officially starting taking steps to begin a tenant Union.

About 4 months into my efforts I found out that I had very early stage cancer that was able to be treated with surgery.

I also had a very traumatic event happened in my home that required biohazard cleanup.

Because of these events I had to step back from organizing tenants.

I have been told by a former employee that the property manager was happy that I was incapable of continuing my organizing efforts because of my health issues.

Now the manager’s boss has to report to OP!

After I step down someone else took on a leadership role and they were able to get community members to come together and start a coup.

We rolled into the annual meeting where board elections are held 30 deep.

We were able to get myself and a few other tenants elected to the board that night.

The board is the organization’s directors boss.

I am now the boss’s boss, and I just sent off an email to the director chair and Co chair detailing how they’re committing fraud.

Wow! Talk about taking control! I wouldn’t be surprised if the manager quit her job.

Let’s see how Reddit responded…

This reader praised OP’s revenge.

Another reader praised tenant unions.

This reader wished OP well as far as the cancer battle.

Another reader empathized with OP.

And this reader would love to see the manager’s reaction.

Instead of complaining, do something about it.

That’s the ultimate revenge!
