When you rent a house or an apartment, it comes with certain common sense expectations.
Like the idea that your landlord wont barge in any time they want to without prior notice.
Or that their family members wont be on the premises partying in your pool.
However, some landlords take advantage of their tenants by adding loopholes to the contract that benefit them.
Redditor u/gordorioaquinno went viral after sharing such a situation with the r/pettyrevenge community.

Then, read it again.
They might spot any red flags or iffy wording that you might have missed.
Trustworthy landlords have no issue with you giving suggestions about clarifying wording or avoiding vague terms.
Meanwhile, someone whotries to pressureyou to sign ASAP might have something to hide.
Above everything, you want to confirm that you get the main conditions crystal clear.
Its important to physically visit the property youll be renting and check every corner of the place.
Dont be scared to ask questions about the plumbing, the wiring, or any damage that you spot.
Theyll probably be more objective than the landlord who simply wants you to move in ASAP.
You should never agree to rent a property without inspecting it.
However, as redditor u/gordorioaquinnos story proves, all of us can miss something in the terms and conditions.
We cant account for all possibilities.
Especially if theres something thats been specifically left out of the lease.
Say, that the landlords relatives can swim in your pool but cant go into the rental property itself.
In a way, its poetic.
All the trash the strangers left behind ended up ruining their future pool parties.
What happens from thereon out will depend entirely on the author and their landlord.
Hopefully, they can come to some sort of amicable agreement.
