'Don't mess with the wrong tenants': Landlord ignores maintenance requests for two months, tenant fires back with steep fines

There's nothing like seeing the look on a landlord's face after they have been majorly called out for being entirely unresponsive. It's somehow a mix between a look of feeling betrayed and the look of a child who is having a really hard time pretending they didn't just break the rules. But all landlords who ignore tenants' maintenance requests to the point that the living conditions become, well, unlivable should know better. 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/New-Morning-3184, who had contacted the broker and landlord with a list of areas in his newly rented apartment that needed to be checked and cleaned prior to his family's move-in. Well, as one might expect, none of those areas were looked at in advance and OP moved into a complete mess of a space. After numerous attempts to rectify the situation and to get maintenance people to come over and finish the job, OP was left no choice but to call the city and to force his landlord to do his job. Keep scrolling below to see how the revenge got even more petty when it came to the repair of OP's front door.
