Frank Hovis Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 There are good landlords who get bad tenants. Then there are bad landlords who get good tenants, and then try to rob them. Nice that one got his comeuppance here One irate Frenchman who was furious that his deposit was being withheld decided to take a sledgehammer to his apartment in order to express his fury. Raging at his $2,500 security being kept, the unidentified tenant smashes his bathroom mirror, toilet, shower cubicle and door. Explaining his actions to a helpful friend who recorded the entire incident, presumably for his landlords benefit, the angry man proceeds to batter the living daylights out of his soon to be vacate apartment. Only a minute for those of you who (like me) are not keen on clicking on lengthy Youtube videos. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2516183/Raging-tenant-armed-sledgehammer-destroys-apartment-landlord-refused-2-500-security-deposit.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Knimbies who say No Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 There are good landlords who get bad tenants.

Just goes to show that treating people like a$$holes can, well, make them act like a$$holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opt_out Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 (edited) I doubt it's possible to cause 2500 E/£/$ damage in that rabbit hutch. Edited December 1, 2013 by opt_out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GinAndPlatonic Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I have the feeling that the guy was an idiot and I have no idea about the Landlord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollover Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 What happens is that the landlord will never let any of his homes out to "cheese eating surrender monkies". He'll tell all his landlord friends and they won't let their homes out to "cheese eating surrender monkies"...then others hear of this and they will be scared to let their homes out to foreign sounding Europeans and so on. And to who will they let out their under standard and overpriced property? It will be the end of the game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkins Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 A few of the commenters on reddit are saying this is fake and the guy was just doing a renovation on a place he owns and decided to make a funny video. Seems more plausible than the story in the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
