What Is Your Worst Experience With A Landlord Or Landlady?

What is your worst Experience With A landlord/landlady?

My undergraduate days was one of the times that i had worst Experience With Landlords. I happen to have worst Experiences with 2 Landlords:

First Landlord
While i got admission into higher institution, i rented an Apartment close to school, my dad followed me inorder to know where i stay. In the process, he met my Landlord. They talked for a while and he collected my dad's number. The Man was jovial little did i know there will be a problem.

There was a time our light got spoiled he told me that since I am using gas I should help him and boil water, I obliged. From that day the man wants to exploit me. He came back the next day that he wanted me to give him stew if i have, i gave him. He came back two days that i should give him groundnut oil that's when i realized he wants to use my niceness to exploit me. Since then i promised myself not to give him things anyhow.
 

He still came back after 5days that i should help him with raw pepper i told him it is finished then he asked me of matches i told him it has also finished. That was the last time he asked me for something.

About two weeks later my dad sent me money and then told me to give some part of the money to the landlord. I wanted to ask my dad why, but i just allowed it slide and gave him. As time goes on i observed he is also trying to exploit my dad. The next time my dad sent money to me he told me to give the Landlord again i corner the money. I later told my dad not to give that guy money again he is trying to exploit us.

One year after i left the Apartment he send message to my dad containing his account number that my dad should send him money.

Second Landlord
In 400L I was a roommate to my coursemate (my roommate stayed there a year earlier). The Landlord warmly welcomed me. The man was very nice, so i thought, he even told us that as student when we need something we should just ask them, let there be harmony. I never knew i will face alot of anger.

It first started when the Landlord borrowed my knife and hasn't returned it for two days i asked my roommate if he sees the knife he told me he will talk to Landlord. Later he came and told me that the knife was missing that while the Landlord was making cake he couldn’t find the knife. I was disappointed but let it slide.

Few days later when we came back from lectures he told us that he took some of our sweet potatoes and ate because he was hungry, i was ok with it.

It started getting anoying when our Landlord turned our room as if it was his. He will just open the door and enter into our room without knocking and start demanding for something, the one that anoys me most is toothpaste. It became too much that we had to hide our toothpaste from him.

During semester break we went home but i forgot something very important so i came back the next day only for me to see that our room was opened and my travelling bag and that of my roommate opened he came rushing to me that let him apologize that he took my vaseline. I told him no problem. When we resumed that's when i realised my sponge, hairbrush and perfume were missing.

I became very angry, felt like strangling him. I asked of the Landlord, his wife told me he has gotten back to school i was very pissed off i told her what he has been doing, she said that's how he use to do that when we went to semester break that he slept in our room, that on behalf of him she is saying sorry that i should take heart.
