30 Terrible Landlords That Made People Regret Renting Their Homes

Anyone who has ever rented a place will tell you what sweet-talkers some landlords can be. "Oh yeah, the neighbors are quiet and heating bills are low," says the landlord with a sly smile on their face. And it's only after you move in that you realize your next-door neighbor loves playing the trumpet in the middle of the night and that the heating bills are low only because the thermostat is permanently set to 60°F. If you've ever encountered a landlord from hell, don't worry - you're not alone. People online are publicly shaming their terrible landlords and the pictures really speak for themselves. Spy cameras, mushrooms growing from the ceiling and crappy amateur repair work - check out all of the times landlords made people regret renting their homes in the gallery below!
