A man whose landlord moved in with him has detailed the nightmare scenario he now faces on a daily basis and begged for advice on what to do next.
The tenant said he felt targeted by the landlord over small messes throughout the home while other people living at the property are never addressed over their own untidiness.
To make matters worse, the landlord just moved into the property without notice.

“The f***er moved into the empty room without telling anyone,” the tenant said.
“My dishes have been in the sink for three hours, my roommate’s has been in the sink since Tuesday. But it’s my fault. I only didn’t do mine because I got called into work early.
“And he won’t contact anyone but me about this stuff, even when I tell him several times something’s not mine and I don’t know what it is he just keeps asking me.

“I’m considering contacting my lawyer and seeing if this classifies as harassment because he didn’t say anything to Jay about the disgusting bathroom he had – he just cleaned it himself – but here I am getting several texts about dishes.”
The tenant revealed that following the latest incident over the dishes they had sought legal advice and there was a court hearing scheduled for July.
Other renters on social media were quick to back the tenant and share their own horror stories.

“Sounds like you need to make a list of every single minor infraction in the apartment that your landlord needs to bring up to code,” someone said.
“God, and I thought I had it bad living next door to my landlord (long time ago but still, never again),” said another.
“He may not be allowed to move in and start imposing micromanaging rules, but again it really depends where you live,” another advised.
