Times When People's Apartments Had Them Doing a Double Take

The Landlord Refused to Fix a Huge Plumbing Issue

They say the nose knows, and boy, did this renter’s nose lead him on a wild ride. For months, he had been complaining about the unmistakable stench of poop coming from his room and the outdoor area. His landlord dismissed it as a figment of his imagination, but the tenant trusted his instincts. Determined to solve this foul-smelling mystery, he decided to take matters into his own hands

What else could he do when no one else seemed to care? He hired a private plumber to inspect the situation, and boy, did he get a surprise. The main sewer line was completely rusted out and clogged with toilet paper, paper towels, and other debris. Can you imagine the mess? It turned out to be a health hazard waiting to happen. The renter’s persistence paid off, but the landlord faced a hefty repair bill. Talk about an unsavory surprise—proof that sometimes, you really do need to trust your gut.
