Mine ignored a raccoon living in the walls until it died. In the walls.
Had a Landlord who wanted us to just wait over the weekend for her to call a plumber, it's not a big deal, I'll call someone on monday. Like where did she expect us to poop, the sink?
Not my landlord, but I lived next to a karate studio once, and one morning really early someone was pounding on my door really loud. So, as you do, I went down to check it out with a sword in hand, while my roomate was waiting at the top of the landing with his sword, because we were men in our early 20s sharing a brain cell.
Either way, open the door, it's two ripped Karate instructors who start yelling at us because someone was walking around on their roof and they thought it was us. I think I told them to never come over and try to intimidate me again, it's not my problem, if you have people on your roof call the cops. BUt it was all a looooong time ago. Also I should note, my hand with the sword was behind the door, so they never saw it. Adventures in being young and dumb.
I was joking, because Tervell is a user who posts weapons on here. He's been posting swords and guns for years, so the interest in swords just reminded me. Was basically making an injoke that hexbear users'd recognise.
I don't even remember. I have a lot of swords and it was a really long time ago. As to why - I used to do a lot of medieval sword fighting stuff, and America can be a rough place. Someone banging on your door aggressively early in the morning usually doesn't have your best interests in mind, so it was an abundance of caution thing. I've long sense switched to answering the door with a giant cannister of pepper spray. Less likely to kill someone, much more effective at incapacitating cops, door to door salespeople, and large aggressive wildlife.
In my last apartment I was charged $800 for carpet upon moving in because “the previous tenants ruined it and the incoming tenants are responsible” somehow. I argued with it but ultimately I needed a place immediately because my roommate at the time was stealing my stuff. Guess who only got $100 of their $950 deposit back because “the carpet needed replacing” on the way out. Also tried to leave a nasty google review and they petitioned google to remove it and google actually removed it.

A list of things from an old comment I made that have applied to different places I've lived:
"Why is half of the house on one circuit breaker, just the dishwasher on the other, and the rest of the house is unaffected by any of the other 5 breakers that seem to do absolutely nothing?"
16 gauge wire in the walls
"Why are my walls bleeding this weird brown goo after 6 months?"
No GFCIs in any of the bathrooms or the kitchen
The room that is always at least 5 degrees colder or hotter than every other room, no matter how many fans you use or windows you open
"Granite" countertops that get dents in them if you leave anything on top of them overnight
"What the fuck is that noise?"
Popcorn ceilings that very much do not hide the lumps and gaps in the drywalling
The Mystery Light Switch that somehow makes your wifi slow down but doesn't control any other appliance, light, or outlet
The toilet that gurgles every night at exactly 3:22 AM and constantly smells like sewer gas, and none of the 7 plumbers you've called can figure out why
Not exactly sure what the material is, but it was caused by a previous resident smoking in the apartment. I just had to keep washing it off the walls forever til I moved out.
are you Tervell
