'Putting people in their place is my specialty:' Tenant calls out shady landlord after failing to bump up the rent mid-lease

It doesn't get more satisfying than shutting down your landlord. As we all know, the rental market is a blood bath right now, and this apartment manager tried to take advantage of their tenants as a result. What they didn't realize was that this one tenant was thorough and precise about what they signed in their initial agreement.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/Apartmentliving subreddit by u/Mundane_Tension369, and let the original poster's email correspondence be evidence that you too can professionally stand up to your landlord if you know that you are in the right. In this case, the tenant hadn't signed any addendum allowing for such an increase in the middle of a lease. After threatening legal action, the apartment manager swiftly backpedaled. A rare win for the tenant in a world run by shady landlords!
