A tenant accuses his property manager of 'degrading' him because he's a man. After hearing the story, TikTok viewers are on her side.

In the viral video, which has over 9.8 million views, Leiaa (@princessleiaa7) is seen going back and forth with a tenant about his late rent payment.

The tenant wanted Leiaa to waive the late fee on his rent payment, but she calmly explained that she couldn't do it. They'd already waived his late fee twice as a courtesy (when they're only supposed to do it once), and this was his tenth time being late on rent. "We can't just keep waving your late fee," Leiaa told him.

"But I pay y'all, though," he said. "Late," Leiaa responded.

The tenant then tells Leiaa that he doesn't like her tone. She quickly apologizes, but it still isn't enough for the man who seemingly feels mistreated due to the fact that Leiaa is enforcing the rent policy.

The man seemingly comes at Leiaa personally, saying she still gets paid "back to back" whether his rent is on time or not. "This is about the rent, not really about my occupation," she said.

That's when things take a turn. "Hey, jack*ss, I don't wanna talk about your occupation. I'm talking about me paying the rent. But women. Y'all women. That's the issue with y'all women. Y'all women always try to degrade a man," the man said to her. "I am a grown man."

Leiaa's customer service voice immediately came off after the man started to disrespect her and her entire gender. "And you're about to get evicted," Leiaa responded, clearly no longer concerned about being polite.

The man then made it seem like if he didn't leave the office he'd do something dangerous, and said he was going to walk away instead. As he walked away, still saying threatening things, Leiaa put her purse on her desk. This sometimes signals that a person is strapped and ready to show their weapon.

As the man, who kept pointing out that he's a "grown man" left, Leiaa called back, "Pay your rent if you a grown man."

Leiaa added a disclaimer in the caption stating the video was a "skit for educational purposes." The skit has accumulated over 45,000 comments that are largely of people taking her side.

"He didn’t like her tone because she was right," a top comment read.

"There was no tone.." a person pointed out.

"She really tried to stay professional but he tried her !" another user wrote.

"You kept your composure because I would’ve laughed in that man’s face," a commenter said.

Other commenters said Leiaa's video made them want to work in property management.

"Lord please let me get a job in property management. This is the entertainment that will make me come to work on time I PROMISE," a viewer wrote.

Imagine investing your hard-earned money for years to build your dream house in another country. Now, envision the heartbreak when that house, painstakingly funded with every dollar you saved, is revealed to be nothing more than a concrete skeleton.

That appears to be the tragic story behind a short video posted on TikTok by user Amanda (@amanda__ngo) on Nov. 16. The video quickly went viral, accumulating more than 3.5 million views in just two days.

In the video, the twist is quickly revealed with a couple of movements of the camera. The footage shows a building that’s still in the beginning stages of construction. It is accompanied by an onscreen caption that reads, “us at the house my dad has been sending money back to nigeria since my birth to build (they stole his money).”

The clip, which is only 10 seconds long, features a snippet of the song “Something That I Want” from Disney’s animated movie Tangled. As Amanda pans the camera around the concrete base of the building, she and her siblings burst into a sarcastic dance, making light of the disastrous situation.

In the comment section of the video, users were quick to empathize with the family's predicament and share their own stories.

“My dad went back home for like 8 years and watched after the construction himself bc of ppl like this. I’m so sorry” one commenter said.

“Lmao happened to my grandma with her house in Mexico. We’d been telling her for years what would happen but she’s got a heart of gold,” a second added.

A third shared, “my dad had been spending money for a house in Mexico right behind my grandmas house and no joke it’s literally two cement rooms.”

However, others appeared to be more critical of the father for not taking more precautionary measures. “I never understood how people trust people like this. I thought they'd check in every 6 months at minimum and now with Whatsapp it could be every day,” wrote one user.

“So like.. did he never ask for pictures or videos of the progress?” another user echoed.

“why is this like a common thing,” a third commenter asked.

Earlier this year, TikTok user Megan Bowen (@meganbowen__) revealed that her landlord planned to raise her rent to $4,000 per month.

That said, there were numerous issues with the apartment, such as the fact that Bowen awoke one morning to find the basement flooded. Bowen said she tried negotiating with her landlord about lowering the cost, but they were not keen to do so. Eventually, Bowen ended up leaving the apartment.

Recently, Bowen decided to check back in on her old apartment to see if anyone had decided to rent it. No one has.

“I just did a little searching, because I was like ‘no one’s paying that much, I know no one’s going to pay that much,’” Bowen says. “Did a little research tonight, and I was like, ‘Did anyone move in?’ I’m really curious.”

“No, they didn’t!” she continues. “It’s still listed, and they dropped it $600!”

“They wouldn’t even negotiate with me,” Bowen notes. “Here they are now with an empty unit.”

Bowen concludes by saying that she’s moving into a sublease soon, though she says in a comment that this is simply a temporary solution until she can find something more permanent.

Bowen isn’t the first to spark discussion after showing a dramatic rental increase. One user claimed their landlord raised their rent by $400 per month out of spite. Another alleged their landlord increased their rent by almost $500 every two weeks. A further user also detailed how their landlord planned to increase their rent from $2,100 to $4,175.

Back on Bowen’s video, users shared their thoughts on the TikToker’s housing situation.

“Some landlords need to consider that having a reliable tenant that will stay put for yearsss, always pay their rent, and not damage the place comes out to be valuable and a $$ gain,” said a user.

“My last landlord was a slumlord. After I moved, he tried renting it for $700 more (already overpriced), it sat empty for over 6 months,” recounted a second. “It was amazing.”

“Same exact thing happened to me,” stated a third. “My old unit is still on the market and being advertised at $300 less than quoted to me.”

A college student was in tears after finding out from a realtor that her landlord is selling the home she lives in and would need to kick her out.

In the video, which has nearly a million views, a teary-eyed Jordan (@jordan_kristine) explains that when she got home that weekend, there was a "random realtor" at her door.

The realtor explained that Jordan's landlord decided at the last minute to sell the house, and it would need to be ready for showings by Wednesday. This gave Jordan, a full-time college student with a full-time job, just a few days to process the news and get the house in order. She ended up skipping class to get the house ready.

While the landlord promised Jordan's dad that he would sell to people who also wanted to rent out the space, Jordan soon discovered all the buyers weren't interested in a long-term tenant.

One couple told her they wanted to turn the home into an Airbnb.

"I was heartbroken that what I’ve considered to be a good home to me for two years now could be turned into an Airbnb of all things," Jordan said in an email.

"The city of Auburn already has a housing issue. Auburn University does not have enough on campus housing to accommodate even the freshman class, let alone its entire student body. In my opinion, to turn a home in a city like this into a temporary rental is greedy and distasteful."

Jordan explains in a follow-up video that she was adamant about taking the time to clean the home ahead of the showing because she was hoping the new owners would want to rent out the place and her cleanliness would be a positive indicator that she was a good tenant, so they'd let her keep renting the place.

But she notes that even if the home was sold to people looking to rent it out, given the location and amenities, she doubts that they would keep her rent at the current rate, which she says is "just ridiculously low."

Jordan says she was surprised by the amount of mean comments she got under her viral video but appreciated those who were supportive and offered advice.

"If this was suddenly sprung on you, and you had already discussed with your landlord plans to continue to live here for the next couple of years, you would be upset, too," Jordan says in a follow-up. "It's a really sudden thing, and it sucks."

Many people in the comments section noted that people putting their homes on the short-term rental market instead of renting to people long-term were negatively affecting their neighborhoods by driving up rents and displacing community members.

It's gotten to the point that some states and cities have enacted laws that virtually ban Airbnb, with New York City being one of the latest.

@jordan_kristine i am in fact not having a good week #fyp ♬ original sound - jordan🪩🪐🤍🌸

"Oh my god I'm so sorry you're going through this Air BNB costs are ruining rental and housing communities everywhere," a commenter wrote.

"Air bnb ruined my neighborhood :(," another said.

Others urged Jordan to double-check her state's rental rights laws, noting that there may be protections in her situation.

"Bro they have to give you 30 day notice at least," a person said.

"Isn’t your landlord obligated to keep your lease until it ends, even if there’s a transfer of ownership?" a commenter asked.

However, in another video, Jordan says she didn't have a formal lease for her second year at the apartment. While she tried to get her landlord to send a lease agreement multiple times, he avoided sending one.

In an email, she told the Daily Dot that the realtor is working to help make sure she gets a lease in writing before the house is sold so Jordan is safe to live there under her current rent rate through July 31 of next year. 

"This has been the first place in Auburn I have lived in that has actually felt like a home to me- I had housing and roommate situations previous to this one that were absolute nightmares to me and this was the first place I felt at home and in love with where I lived," Jordan said.

The post ‘They have to give you 30-day notice at least’: Renter gets last-minute notice landlord is selling her house, learns it’s for an Airbnb appeared first on The Daily Dot.

An Airbnb host called the police after finding a man hiding under a bed on his property. Viewers are conflicted about how he handled the situation, stating they would have been much more scared than he was.

In the initial TikTok, which has over 3 million views, a dark figure is seen under a short metal bed frame. The man is seemingly using his phone, which he has plugged into the wall to charge. There is also a small orange lighter propped up next to him.

"Hey, you gotta get out from under the bed, bro," Luis Lopez (@ricanluis) calmly tells him as he films from right outside the bedroom.

Lopez explains that he discovered the hidden man when he went to clean his Airbnb to get it ready for the next guest.

The man ignores Lopez and doesn't leave, so he calls the police to help with the situation. When the police arrive, they lift the bedframe, fully revealing the man, forcefully flip him on his stomach, and cuff his arms behind his back before standing him up.

Lopez then asks the man how he got in and why he was there, pointing out that he wasn't the guest who rented from them the night before. But the man, who's dressed in all black, remains silent.

@ricanluis When i go to clean my Airbnb and get it ready for my next guest & we notice something strange under the bed!!#fyp #viralvideo #creepyhomelessguyunderbed ♬ original sound - Luis Lopez

"I'm not gonna press charges, but I just wanna know what's going on," Lopez says. "I need to know because this is a business. This is my Airbnb, so I need to know. Because if somebody gave you the code to the door, I need to know."

He then asks the man who trespassed a few 'yes or no' questions and found out that the Airbnb guest who was just there had let him in. He spent the night in the home, and the guest told him he could stay in the house after he checked out.

@ricanluis #fyp #viralvideo #creepyhomelessguyunderbed #copsinvolved#airbnb ♬ original sound - Luis Lopez

In a follow-up, Lopez explains that he didn't press charges because the man didn't break in, but did get a trespassing order so the man doesn't return.

"So how can I press charges on this guy and say that he broke into my house? That would be a lie, and I would just be harming somebody for fun for no reason," Lopez notes. "... If he doesn't come back, no harm, no foul."

He shares that he's in contact with the Airbnb renter to sort out the situation. In a comment, he added that he knows why the renter let the man in but "it’s too crazy to post here."

Combined, the videos have well over 1,000 comments.

"New fear unlocked," a top comment read.

"You’re not pressing charges? You have no idea what his intentions were. That’s scary," a person questioned.

"Wow ur a really good person to [not] press charges and hope that boy can understand the lesson," another wrote.

Although inflation rates have cooled since their recent highs, that doesn’t mean that things are getting cheaper for everyday Americans.

Today, Americans seeking rental housing are finding that prices are higher than ever. Although many headlines focus on food prices, the Bureau of Labor Statistics found that rent was among the largest contributors to inflation—and rises in rent prices have typically outpaced both inflation and income growth by a significant margin.

“Rent prices have surged by 208% since 1985 from $378 a month to $1,163, outpacing inflation by 40% and income by 7%,” reads a press release from Real Estate Witch.

Now, a user on TikTok has sparked discussion after showing what this discrepancy between rental price payments across generations actually looks like.

In a video with over 336,000 views, TikTok user Bre (@captainmooseknuckless) asks several people across generations how much they paid for their first apartment.

Answers vary considerably. At the lowest, several Baby Boomers say they paid around $100 for either a one-bedroom apartment or half of a shared rental, with one man saying he paid just $50 for his portion of the rent.

In contrast, answers from younger people list significantly higher dollar amounts, even after including inflation. For example, one Gen-Z interviewee claims that their first one-bedroom rental cost them $3,000 per month.

“Inflation really needs to be addressed in this country!!” Bre wrote in the caption. “We Gen z are suffering!!”

@captainmooseknuckless I WISH!!! 😭😭😭 context: I'm asking each generation what the rent for their first apartment was. HUGE DIFFERENCES. inflation really needs to be addressed in this country!! we Gen z are suffering!! #boomers #genz #genx #millennials #inflation #rent #babyboomers ♬ original sound - 𖤐

In the comments section, users expressed surprise at the wide array of rental prices.

“Imagine paying rent with one hundred dollar bill and getting change back,” wrote a user.

“This is crazy. I calculated inflation on the first guys apartment and it would be about $900 today,” added another. “Nothing like the $3,000 people are paying rn.”

“My grandmother bought her house for 13k in 1945,” offered a third.

Many simply shared their disappointment at the current state of rental prices in America.

“The worse part is those same apartments look the same and cost 3x that now,” said a commenter.

“This is quite literally soul crushing as someone trying to move out,” declared a second.

A tenant is raising questions for her building after claiming that she discovered blood in her apartment complex's communal laundry room.

While the audio has since been removed from her videos on the topic, in her first video, TikTok user Katie (@kaytaay) says, “If anyone is curious what almost $1600 a month in…Boulder, Colorado gets you, this is our laundry room.” She then shows a room that is covered in some sort of red liquid.

“I came down to do some laundry, and there’s blood all over the walls,” Katie states. “Splattered all over the walls, the floor.”

“I called my property management company, and they go, ‘Yeah, we’ll send somebody over,’” Katie continues. “This is a lot of blood…you might even want to, like, get the police involved for this!”

She then followed this video up by stitching with her original video offering more information about what happened after the recording of the original video.

According to Katie, she called the police, who said they would send someone to inspect the situation. She then called her property management company to inform them that the police were coming.

Katie then checked on the situation with the building, asking management whether they had sent one of their own people to inspect the incident.

“She was like, ‘Oh, we haven’t sent anybody out yet. I put the maintenance request in,’” recounts Katie. She then appears shocked. “Girl, there is, like, a gallon of blood on the ground in your laundry room, and you put in a maintenance request? For real?”

@kaytaay #stitch with @Katie I am so fed up with property management companies that literally do not give two shits about their tenants #rent #tenant #colorado ♬ original sound - Katie

Katie proceeded to ask whether the building management could send an email warning residents about blood in the laundry room; the person on the phone seemed to say that they could not and that residents would likely leave the laundry room on their own accord after seeing the blood.

Across two videos, Katie says that the police eventually arrived at the property and confirmed, to the best of their ability, that the substance was blood. However, they could not offer any additional help. Four hours after first seeing the blood, Katie says it was still not cleaned up.

“My main issue right now is that I called them four hours ago with a biohazard…and they’re just like, ‘whatever, we’ll put a request in,’” Katie explains. 

@kaytaay Replying to @Kate Papp its been FOUR HOURS and they still havent done anything about it. No updates. Nothing #rent #tenant ♬ original sound - Katie

In the comments section, users encouraged Katie to escalate the situation, and she's reached out to her local health department as a result.

“Call the health department and let them know you’ve had contact w police and property management and they won’t do anything about it,” suggested a user.

“I second that you should call every news station you can get ahold of,” added another.

“Girl. good move documenting all of this with timestamps. there have to be housing laws about hazardous conditions,” offered a third.

The post ‘I ended up calling the police’: Tenant finds blood smeared on the walls of apartment’s laundry room. Her property manager put in a maintenance request appeared first on The Daily Dot.

A California man—and just about every commenter—was shocked to find out that his parents' mortgage from the '70s is $287. Meanwhile, his current-day mortgage is over $7,000 for a house valued at significantly less than his parents'. Make it make sense.

For context, a $287 mortgage is approximately the equivalent of buying a pair of AirPods Pro, nosebleed seats to see Bad Bunny, or a nice dinner for four.

The housing market in the United States (and even parts of neighboring Canada) has been difficult for some time now.

Rent costs are at a historic high, out of proportion with stagnant wages. Interest rates on mortgages don't seem to be declining anytime soon, making buying a home more expensive, and all of this has made it so people have to find housing alternatives—like moving back home to live with parents, getting roommates, or moving to a cheaper area.

California is no exception. In fact, several of its cities continually top "most expensive" lists, from general cost of living to rent. That's, in part, why TikToker Adam Lucas (@adamjlucas) was so shocked by the huge price jump between his parents' mortgage and his own.

"I'm going to throw up. Okay. My mortgage is 27 times my parents' mortgage. My house is valued at a third of my parents' house. I would like to puke. I would like to throw up," Lucas says in his video, still in shock.

@adamjlucas what a riot #housing ♬ original sound - Adam Lucas

In a follow-up video, he explains that his parents bought the land where their house was for a "handful of thousand dollars." Let's say they bought it for $5,000 then. That's roughly $24,000 now, still affordable for land. For a summer and the better part of a year, Lucas' parents and their friends built the house from the ground up. When the home burned from an electrical fire in 2006, they got insurance money to build a new home.

In comparison, Lucas and his husband pay about $10,000 after mortgage and fees for what Lucas says is a pretty standard home in Southern California, 45 minutes out from Los Angeles proper (though it is a waterfront property). He adds that for what he and his husband are paying it should afford them to live in a mansion.

Lucas said that home prices in Southern California are extreme and rather inaccessible, especially for a single person. He said that he and his husband both had to prove they made over six figures to qualify for their mortgage.

In September of this year, the median home price in Los Angeles was $1.3 million.

But, for Lucas and his husband, the price they pay for their home is worth it to them since they're building equity instead of paying rent to another person.

"I would rather spend $10,000 a month to own, rather than $5,000 a month to rent, which is what we were paying," Lucas says in the clip.

Combined the videos have nearly 400,000 views and over 700 comments as of Thursday morning.

"My parents: “our mortgage payment is SO HIGH.” Their payment is literally $487," a top comment read.

"The fact that our parents mortgage is less than my electric bill has me questioning how they always acted like we had no money. like what!?" a person said.

"If my mortgage was 287, my house would be PAID OFF," another wrote.

"My parents mortgage is $600 and I can't even find a single bedroom in a shared apartment to rent for $600," a commenter shared.

The post ‘I just found out that my parents’ mortgage is $287’: Homeowner says his mortgage is 27 times higher than his parents’ appeared first on The Daily Dot.

In the United States, Homeowners Associations, or “HOAs,” are given incredible power. Per LendingTree, HOAs can put rules into place and “have the legal right to raise fees, charge a special assessment and enforce rules.”

“Depending on state laws, HOAs have the right to suspend use of common areas and to take residents to court if necessary for violating rules or not paying HOA fees,” notes author Michele Lerner.

Sometimes, the enforcement of these rules can go a little too far, as Phoenix, Arizona-based TikTok user Elle Reiner (@ellereiner) recently discovered.

Reiner had previously posted about the many issues with her HOA, ranging from receiving letters threatening fines after posting videos about going to Starbucks, to the various issues that can be found in areas under the HOA’s jurisdiction. Now, she says she’s received $500 in fines from her HOA—and numerous screenshots of her TikToks.

@ellereiner Its giving “obsessed” #hoa #homeownersassociation #neighborhoodwars #currupt #phoenix #stalker #funny #fyp ♬ Obsessed - Mariah Carey

“POV your HOA President stalks your social media and sends you printed screenshots along with $500 fines,” wrote Reiner in the text overlaying the video. In the caption, she added, “Its giving ‘obsessed.’”

Reiner’s issues with the president go beyond screenshots. In follow-up videos, Reiner says that the President has tried to enter her house without permission in the past, and the President recently called her husband’s co-worker to explain the ways that she and her husband have allegedly violated HOA rules.

The President is not the only one who is taking issue with Reiner. The TikToker claims another HOA board member filmed her getting her car washed and told the man washing her car that she had called the police. The cops did eventually come, at which point they allegedly informed the HOA member that what Reiner had done was not illegal.

Across several follow-up videos, Reiner has noted that she is currently speaking with legal representation in order to resolve this issue. She has also been in contact with the police regarding other issues with the HOA.

In the comments section, users aired their grievances about HOAs.

“Going through the same with a board of directors (hoa) that kicked me out for my social media,” wrote a user. “They are being investigated by the state now.”

“Last year our HOA president messaged my HUSBAND to tell him I LAUGH reacted his FB post,” alleged another.

“Everyday I’m reminded of why I’m so grateful we don’t have an HOA,” declared a third.

A TikTok user says she thought she was being pranked when she had to pay a $250 after her new apartment in New York was so dirty she couldn't move in.

The video featured TikTok user Shanna Yeh (@shannayeh), who said, “I swear, I must be getting pranked right now.” Yeh said that when she showed up to move into her apartment, the door was locked and there was trash piled outside. She said she waited hours for management to let her in. When they finally did, the apartment was dirty and filled with furniture.

“Guess who had to pay $250 to resettle the movers?” she asked. Moreover, she still had to pay rent for the filthy apartment. In the meantime, she was staying in her old apartment until the next morning. She vented her anger in the caption: “like this cant be happening… nothing in new york is simply.”

The Daily Dot reached out to Yeh via Instagram DM and TikTok comment for more information. The video racked up more than 457,000 views as of Oct. 15, where viewers offered ideas on what she should do.

“I would contact a lawyer on this one,” one viewer wrote.

“I would absolutely ONLY contact them through email, attach all info about extra costs, and get them to pay,” a second proposed.

Yeh replied in the comments, “yes have sent them timestamped photos and have everything that happened today in writing.”

Furthermore, others agreed that moving in New York is never easy.

“Moving in New York is never easy. No matter how well you think you’ve prepared,” one user stated.

“I never hear these kind of crazy apartment and moving stories for any other city, except for New York city. Like what is really going on up there,” a second commented.

In a follow-up video, Yeh shared what happened the next day. With the help of Piece of Cake Moving, her apartment was cleaned up and move-in ready. The company was able to remove all of the old furniture and items and replace them with the content creator’s belongings.
