My Daughter’s Landlord Set Her up So He Could Evict Her and Raise the Rent – We Taught Him a Smart Lesson
Jason’s phone rang late at night. On the line was his daughter, Lily, crying.
“Dad, my landlord… he’s forcing me out!” she sobbed.
She explained that after a raise at work, her landlord had threatened her with higher rent and secretly dumped hazardous chemicals in her backyard, claiming she violated the lease.
Furious, Jason promised, “Don’t worry, honey. We’ll fix this.”
The next evening, Jason and friends arrived at Lily’s apartment. They dismantled her beloved garden and rearranged the furniture to highlight cracks, missing tiles, and mold—leaving the apartment stark and uninviting—while Lily stayed with a friend.
When the landlord, Jack, arrived expecting to show off the home, he found a bare, unappealing space. Lily, calm and innocent, feigned ignorance about the garden. Jason confronted Jack with photos proving Lily had done nothing wrong. Potential tenants left without applying, and Jack’s scheme backfired.
Months later, Lily moved into a new place with a landlord who appreciated her green thumb. Sitting on her porch with Jason, she smiled.
“Dad, I can’t thank you enough,” she said.
Jason squeezed her hand. “You did the hard part. You stood up to him. Now you’ve got a fresh start.”
