A Redditor Got Unexpected Revenge On His Horrible Ex-Landlord And Screwed Him Over For $20K

by Chelsi

Have you ever been stuck with a crappy landlord? That might be putting it mildly as a lot of people have dealt with cruel landlords that take advantage of their tenants to gain money.

They’ll do everything to squeeze a couple of bucks from them and they would ignore needs that are basically a landlord’s obligation. In turn, there are people who already plotting their fantasy revenge the moment they meet them.

In Reddit, the subreddit “ProRevenge” is the best place to post about fantasy revenge stories coming true. A Redditor recounted a story of how their landlord got screwed over years after he took advantage of him and his wife.

In the late 90’s, he and his wife were a newlywed young couple and decided to both have jobs to save up for a house. OP was an entry-level software developer when the dotcom bubble was on the rise and was offered a job that pays more in another city.

They did the calculations and if they would save his whole salary and survive only off of his wife’s pay, they could save up a 20% down payment for a house. So he took the job, they moved, and found an apartment. 

That’s how they met the landlord. And This is how Redditors reacted to his triumphant story.

Not everyone can have an experience like OP where they could get their revenge even if they weren’t even planning one. Although it took a few years, it was still satisfying for him and satisfying to readers who got to know the story.

There’s still hope that there would be fewer landlords that would abuse the status of their tenants. And a decrease in fantasy revenge stories for them.
