People Spill Their Striking Revenge Stories

"So basically, I moved into a 2bd apartment 2 months ago with Sara & Jessica (names changed). Now, Sarah is on the lease, Jessica is Sarah’s significant other and isn’t on the lease. I pay 50%, Sarah pays 25% and Jessica pays 25% of the rent. Not my ideal situation but I was desperate for roommates at the time.

Fast-forward 2 months: they’re enormous slobs who never do anything so I clean up after them all the time.

I vacuum the living room, mop the kitchen, do dishes, etc. I buy most of the shared groceries and household items, which the two of them plow through really quickly. Sarah has a cat in the apartment which is unauthorized and regularly has an unauthorized dog here too. Their rent is paid late and utilities on the last possible day. Also, the girls smoke a lot and while I don’t care, I asked them to be respectful enough to air out the apartment and keep the smoke out of my room.

Now last week things went south: Sarah and Jessica overheard me complaining about having to clean up after them and after ignoring me for a few days, sent me a long text about how rude they considered that, etc. So I let out everything that was bothering me and told them that if they don’t want to live with me, I will gladly release them from the lease, repay the deposit, and they can go.

This caused them to freak out and they told me, 'it’s 2 against 1, we will force you to move.' Oh God no.

I blocked them on all forms of social media and means of communication. The next day, I went down to the apartment managers and reported the two unauthorized pets and the unauthorized occupant. Written notices were given, Sarah & Jessica threw them straight in the trash.

I return from a 4-day stay at my dad’s and go straight to report the unauthorized occupant Jessica (who has already once been asked to leave) and both unauthorized pets which were supposed to be gone by now. Well, at this point Sarah and Jessica are getting annoyed. Jessica screams obscenities at me any time I enter or leave my bedroom. Twice she spent a half-hour period pounding on my door and the walls of my room. She taunts me through the door trying to get me to open up. All of this is being quietly recorded on my phone while I still haven’t said a word.

So yesterday, I went back down to the office to finish securing my new apartment and to report more violations. When I came home, the chain lock was locked so I had no way to get in.

This is what I had been waiting for. Jessica taunts me again (on video) and then slaps my hat off my head, hitting me square in the forehead with the back of her hand. Bingo.

I call the cops, rat Sarah and Jessica out for being addicts, get all their paraphernalia confiscated, and get a police report for battery. Come Monday, I’ll be on my way to the prosecutor’s office to press charges.

The apartment managers will also be getting a copy of this report. Also, tomorrow is the last day to pay rent before it was late. Sarah & Jessica disappeared early this morning. If they don’t pay rent I’m gonna get them on the abandonment clause, finally, get them evicted, and have the locks changed. All before I move out tomorrow."
