What are the most common leasing agent horror stories?

One horror story is when a leasing agent showed a property to a potential tenant who seemed normal at first. But later, the tenant moved in and started causing trouble with the neighbors, constantly making noise at all hours. The leasing agent got countless complaints and had to deal with the headache of trying to resolve the situation, which included threats from the unruly tenant when they were asked to abide by the community rules.

Well, I've heard of a leasing horror story where a tenant moved into an apartment that was advertised as fully furnished. But when they got there, half of the furniture was broken or missing. Also, some people have had to deal with extremely noisy neighbors and the landlord did nothing about it. Then there are those who got evicted without proper legal procedures just because the landlord wanted to rent to someone else at a higher price.

One of the most shocking is when a tenant found out that the apartment they were leasing was actually being foreclosed on. They had paid months of rent in advance and then suddenly had to move out with no warning. Another shocker is when the landlord changed the locks on the tenant while they were out, claiming they hadn't paid rent when they actually had proof of payment.

One common element is misrepresentation. Agents may over - promise what they can do for an author, like getting a huge book deal, but in reality, they don't have the connections or skills to deliver.

Often, there are funny stories about misreading requests. A client might ask for a hotel close to the city center for easy access to nightlife. But the travel agent books them in a hotel near an industrial area. The client ends up in a really quiet and dull place at night. And then there are the stories about lost luggage. A travel agent once sent a client's luggage to the wrong destination and the client had to make do with the clothes on his back for a couple of days while waiting for the luggage to arrive. It was a very comical situation in hindsight.

One common probate agent horror story is when they mismanage the estate's assets. For example, they might invest the money in a risky scheme without proper authorization, leading to significant losses for the beneficiaries. Another is when they are extremely slow in handling the probate process. This can cause a lot of stress for the family members waiting for their inheritance, especially if they are relying on those funds for various reasons like paying off debts or buying a home.

One of the most prevalent ebay horror stories is when the item gets lost in transit. The tracking shows it's been shipped but then it disappears. Buyers are left in a lurch as they've paid for the item but don't have it. Sellers may blame the shipping company and the shipping company may say it was the seller's fault in packaging. Ebay then has to step in to mediate, which can be a long and drawn - out process.

One common 'Popeyes Horror Story' is the wrong order. You order a specific meal with certain sides and end up with something completely different. It's frustrating, especially if you have dietary restrictions or just had your heart set on that particular order.
