Upstairs landlord repeatedly helps his tenant’s 16-year-old daughter when she locks herself out of house, but eventually refuses to help, after realizing she only acknowledges him when she needs something: 'I refused to answer the door'

Most of us know that finding a committed and helpful landlord is both as wonderful as it is rare. Normally, landlords hold the title of being your ultimate lifeline until the minute you sign the contract to move in, and suddenly they've vanished faster than our middle-school boyfriends during acne breakout season. As long as you're not damaging anything that would cost them money, they're normally pretty MIA…but not this landlord.

Helpful, patient…and reaching his wits' end, this landlord is pretty attentive when it comes to helping out his tenants. For some reason, his tenant's 16-year-old daughter keeps forgetting her house keys, and because the landlord just so happens to live above them, she always calls for him to rescue her by opening up her door. And he was fine with that…until it became constant, interrupting him during remote working hours. Yet, he still took deep breaths and continued to help with a smile. 

Until he started noticing an odd pattern. Whenever they would cross paths outside the house, she would completely ignore him, like a pile of dust in the corner of a laundry room. We all know it's there, but no one can bother to deal with it. That is, until she wants or needs something, then suddenly she's like a Disney character whose friendliness is almost too much. So he decides to put his foot down. Why should he always be available to help someone who ignores him unless she wants something…? So instead of helping her, he's left her sitting on the pavement with some time to think about her childish behavior.
