'The landlord requested a new paint job': Sailors get back at landlord by painting his rental property from floor to roof

This sailor is sticking to the honor code to help people in his community. Not everyone agrees with his hands-on methods, though. 

The people of the internet are divided over this guy's grandfather's story of malicious compliance. It's a classic tale of landlord versus tenant. 

Unless you live in a rent stabilized building, your landlord can charge you basically whatever they feel is fair for rent. This is a big problem these days, since many of us are priced out of living in even the most modest places. Landlords are free to charge big bucks for little tiny apartments or houses. And if the tenant doesn't want to pay up, that's great for them, because there's probably a line of people waiting to pay that amount to live there. 

It's really unfair to long-term tenants who have been used to a set rent price for many years. Imagine you're a retiree living on a fixed income, and then your landlord shows up to tell you your rent is quadrupling. That's exactly the scenario that this woman found herself in back in the 1960s. She enlisted this OP's grandfather to help her. If she couldn't keep her home, she was at least going to make her landlord regret kicking her to the curb.
