How did you get back at an evil landlord?

How did you get back at an evil landlord?

I know many people out there don't get even or aren't cynical, maybe it's a New Yorker thing. But I have heard some stories from people who have put up with HORRIBLE landlords and how they got their vengeance when they moved. So, how did you get back at your evil landlord when you moved? Any tricks, stories, pranks, or mature mannered way you told them off for making your life hell?

Childish pranks do more harm than good. Yeah it's a good laugh until the police come knocking at your door because someone saw you out their window. If the landlord is really a jerk they'll call the police quick.

Any harm you could cause a landlord is to their business. My friend is breaking their lease because the unit they moved into has black mold. (Very dangerous to your health). The landlord won't let them move into another unit and claimed there was no mold. Long story short, she's currently suing them. She's also posted bad reviews on websites with pictures of the mold and giant silverfish crawling around living room. The owner of the apartment complex has even seen it. As long as it isn't made up or overly exaggerated, you can give them a bad review. It's better if you have proof, that way they can't sue you for slander.

    I did not renew the lease. Why do something that could put you in jail? If he is that evil, he may file charges.

    I don't know how old you are, but your question sounds like one that would come from someone under the age of 16. Get oral and written statements. Get audio and video evident and take it to a lawyer. Anything else, like you are hinting/suggesting, might back fire.

    Before you leave You could hide a raw egg somewhere in the wall. Or take off a plug and hide the egg there. Or you could hide it in the false ceiling or where ever. If there is not enough place for a regular egg (hen) you could use a smaller egg. Just search for in your local market. before hiding it that just make a small hole in the egg with a needle.
    Everything will be fine for a few weeks time. But then after it will stink like hell. It is maybe the worse smell in the world.

    Or you could dig a hole with a shovel in the garden (yard). 1 meter hole. not more than 1 meter. And hide a big fish there (or a regular fish).
    Again, everything will be fine for 1 month, but then after it will stink like hell.

    Any case he will have huuuuuuuge problems because of the smell. And everybody will try to run far away because of the smell...

    Good luck!

    I don't suppose that anyone ever told you this but; I don't care who you are or who you think you are,everyone answers to someone. Your landlord answers to the City Housing Authority,and the City Zoning Commissioner. And let us not forget the Metropolitan Department of Health.
