We’ve all heard stories of bad landlords—those who make life difficult with unreasonable demands or petty rules.
But what do you do when your former landlord refuses to return what’s rightfully yours? This is the story of how I took matters into my own hands when my overbearing ex-landlord wouldn’t give back my washing machine and dishwasher. It’s a tale of persistence, creativity, and a little bit of well-deserved payback.
The trouble started as soon as I moved out of my rented apartment. After several years of dealing with a difficult landlord, I was finally moving to a new place.
I had always been a responsible tenant—paying rent on time, maintaining the property, and following all the rules.
