    this shit (what the landlord did) should be illegal and prosecutable?

    imagine renting farmland out to a farmer, waiting for them to plant and grow crops right up till before harvest, then try to pull a switch and up the rent because “🤓☝️the land is worth more now.”

    like no shit the plants on the property add value. value that came directly from the tenant in hundreds of hours of labor and materials!!??!!

    good on this tenant for getting the W on the situation. im sure for countless poor others the opposite has been true :(

    Probably should have done it before the viewings so that you’re not screwing over the renters.

        They’re now stuck in a contract for a year in a home they might not have went with, all because they were lied to by the landparasite.
