Can you share some room rental horror stories?

Sure. One horror story is about a tenant who had a Section 8 rental. The landlord was supposed to do proper maintenance, but they didn't. There were leaks in the roof that the landlord ignored. The tenant's belongings got damaged because of the water seeping in. It was a nightmare for the tenant as they couldn't get the landlord to fix it for months.

One common element is bad landlords. They might be unresponsive to maintenance requests like when there are plumbing issues or electrical problems. Another is false advertising. For example, the room is shown as clean and spacious in the pictures but in reality it's dirty and tiny.

A really bad rental horror story involved a landlord who would enter the rental property without permission. The tenant would come home to find things moved around and it made them feel very unsafe and violated their privacy.

One horror story is about a tenant who found out the apartment had a severe mold problem that the landlord tried to hide. The tenant started getting sick all the time, but the landlord refused to fix it. Eventually, the tenant had to break the lease and find a new place while still dealing with health issues.

There was a rental where the lights would flicker on and off by themselves, especially in the basement. The tenant once went down to check and felt an extreme coldness that was not normal for a basement. When they looked around, they thought they saw a shadowy figure out of the corner of their eye. After that, they were too scared to stay and moved out immediately.

Sure. One horror story could be about getting a car with hidden damages. The rental company didn't note them properly before giving it out. When the renter returned the car, they were charged a huge amount for those damages which they claimed they didn't cause.

Sure. One horror story is about a couple who rented a beach house for a weekend. When they arrived, the place was filthy. There were bugs everywhere, and the sheets on the bed looked like they hadn't been changed in weeks. Another story involves a traveler who rented an apartment in a big city. He found out that the previous tenant had installed hidden cameras in the living room and bedroom. It was a total invasion of privacy.

Sure. One horror story is about a family who rented a beach house. When they arrived, the place was filthy. There were bugs everywhere, and the beds smelled like mold. Another one is that a couple found hidden cameras in their rental apartment. It was a total invasion of privacy.

I had a horror story where the Airbnb host was really creepy. He would keep showing up unannounced. One time he even entered the place while I was taking a shower. It made me feel so unsafe that I left early.

My horror story was with a city apartment rental. The photos online looked amazing. But when we entered, it was filthy. There were stains on the carpets and the furniture was falling apart. It was not at all what we expected and really ruined our vacation mood.
