When our landlord suddenly raised our rent by $650, it was the final straw. Enduring a rundown apartment with a broken fridge and frequent intrusions had already pushed us to our limits. Determined to retaliate, we devised a plan to make him regret his greed.
Amber and I endured a year of Mr. Williams’ unannounced visits and dismissive attitude. The rent hike was outrageous, but we couldn’t afford to move as we were saving for our dream house.
Our revenge plan involved strategically hiding tuna, rotten eggs, sour milk, and dead mice throughout the apartment on our final visit. The result? Two months later, the place was vacant due to an unbearable smell.
Mr. Williams, furious and desperate, called us demanding a fix. Amber seized the opportunity: “Return our deposit and extra rent, and we’ll clean it up.” Reluctantly, he agreed. We collected our check, cleaned the apartment, and finally felt triumphant.
“Good riddance,” Amber said. “I hope he learned his lesson.”
Our creative revenge not only got our money back but also delivered the justice we deserved. In tough situations, determination and ingenuity can make a difference.
