Have you ever heard the term “landlord special?”

It’s used to describe a landlord’s shoddy or strange maintenance job in a house or an apartment, and there are quite a few examples of this phenomenon on TikTok.

In this video, a woman named Aliena showed viewers something odd that she found in her apartment.

Aliena told viewers that a piece of some kind of material covering a hole in her apartment was falling off.

She said, “Landlord special times 300. Like, what?”

The TikTokker removed the material and, to her surprise, it wasn’t a piece of wood.

Aliena said, “They used a cutting board to fill up this hole.”

Wow, that’s a new one!
