Cunning Tenant Retaliates Against Unfair Landlord Who Keeps Their Security Deposit Because Of Dying Tree On The Property

When you sense an injustice in your situation, it can feel like an itch begging for a satisfying scratch, especially when it involves a person you’d love to outwit. Feeling the urge to strike back at someone who has hurt us is completely natural.

When we're shamed or treated unfairly, it's like something valuable has been snatched away. We crave to restore balance, and those vengeful thoughts are just one step in reclaiming our equilibrium.

The desire for a bit of payback can vary widely across cultures, influenced by how we value relationships and what behaviors we see as okay. Imagine, what might ruffle an American's feathers might not even register on a person from another country's revenge-o-meter.

Similarly, how we feel about authority and tradition can color our views on revenge. If a person knows that the authorities won't do something about the situation they might find the allure of revenge tempting.

When official channels seem futile or slow-moving, taking matters into one's own hands can feel like the more satisfying route. It's almost like saying, "If they won’t do something about it, then I will!"

In today's post, we'll take a look at the story of a cunning tenant who took revenge on an exploitative landlord. The original poster (OP) is a woman who's moving out of her rented house after two years.

The OP calls her deed a "catty revenge."

The plan she pulled off was as sly as a cat's.

According to the OP the evergreen tree in the property they rented was suddenly dying.

The OP and her husband never got back their security deposit over an occurrence they had no control over. It was simply unfair on their part.

The couple decided not to confront the landlord about it.

Since the landlord was being unfair, the OP decided to take petty revenge on the landlord. She placed some catnip seeds in the property of the cat-hating landlord.

Redditors were entertained with the story.

Some people just can't let unfair people slide. The OP felt she needed to teach this guy a lesson and you can't help but feel that her action is justified.

The landlord is probably at a better place financially than the OP and her husband. And yet, he decided to take advantage of his tenants who are leaving his property.

One of the Redditors is right — he is such a greedy landlord. His attempt to squeeze more money out of people he can no longer profit from is despicable.

We can only hope that those catnips flourish and attract feline visitors to the property. After all, he'll have to spend money to clear out the plants that draw in cats—a fitting outcome for such an exploitative individual. He might even have to spend the 300 bucks he withheld from his tenants.

This story is not just about revenge. It sends a clear message that greed and exploitation have consequences and that fairness should always prevail.
