As many past Reddit stories have chronicled, landlords sometimes aren’t the most honest bunch.

In this story, one deceitful landlord overcharged his tenants while letting his family live rent-free.

When one disgruntled tenant was called to testify against him in court, it became clear that his web of lies was about to unravel.

Read on for the whole story!

10 years later I got revenge on horrible my landlord

Long story short: Landlord was a childish jerk to all of us.

He had us sharing about with 4 other people and charged us double while his spoiled son and girlfriend lived rent free.

A few months ago, I had a lawyer contact me and ask if I remembered renting there, and if I’d testify against the landlord.

The lawyer dropped some pretty shocking news.

Turns out, he wasn’t the true owner of the property.

His brother bankrolled all of the properties he told us “he owned” and in turn, the landlord was supposed to remodel on time and stay on budget to get the houses sold.

Instead, he lived on and wasted the money his brother gave him, and pocketed all of the rent without his brother’s knowledge.

It turns out this renter was the ace-in-the-hole the prosecution needed.

My landlord’s face went white when he saw me in the courtroom.

And I tripped his lawyer up who asked me two weak questions then said he didn’t have any questions for me.

As I left the courtroom, I saw him from the corner of my eye sneer as I walked past and he very loudly called out to me a sing song voice “BYE SARA” right in front of the jury.

Today I learned he lost the entire case.

Petty Revenge activated.

Even delayed a decade, this revenge has to feel pretty satisfying.

What did Reddit think?

Oh the irony, this user thought.

This redditor hopes there’ll be some restitution!

Cue lawyer facepalm.

Karma always comes back to bite!

Finally, justice caught up to him.

Petty revenge is best served cold.
