There's nothing more dangerous out there than a scorned apartment building tenant. They know things about their landlord's building that could end them.
A similar sentiment is reserved for crooked, slummy property management groups that try to milk every last cent from their tenants' bank accounts, hoping and praying that they won't be able to afford a lawyer after they're done with them. I know, I know. "Not all landlords" blah, blah, blah. Many landlords and property management groups, though, are like this. Living in New York City myself, you get to know a good amount when you're on the hunt for a place to call home.
After you've lived in a slumlord's apartment, you are forever changed. Every little black dot you see in the corner of your eye is a rodent. You anticipate an unwelcoming, freezing-cold shower in the morning before work. You expect very little from the person or company that is supposed to be maintaining the property sufficiently. No one should have to live in dwellings like this, but that's the way things are.
The best way to take down the villainous powers that be? Hit 'em where it hurts. A Google review is more authoritative than other channels of litigation nowadays, because the court of public opinion is more trustworthy than you'd think. The renters, foodies, and the like must stick together, and writing a 300-word proof-backed review of your evil landlord or nearby restaurant is the perfect recipe for revenge, whilst simultaneously acting as a service to others who might need the insider intel.
In this next story, you'll read about an apartment building tenant who had previously lived in a unit that was not upkept. Given the price of the unit, they continued living there until they could reasonably afford greener pastures. Even though the tenant took it upon themselves to clean the apartment top to bottom, they were still charged for cleaning fees after moving out. Fine, they'll fight fire with fire. You'd be surprised at how effective a review is on the World Wide Web. Scroll to read the full story below.
