"This is so satisfying. I feel like it's everyone's bad landlord fantasy."
A commenter says this is exactly the kind of payoff people love to see.
"As a landlord/agent, I wholeheartedly enjoyed this. There are way too many bad actors out there trying to take advantage of people."
"(I have special feelings for Phil now.)"You and everyone else in this sub."
That name clearly made an impression.
"I just got out of an apartment (literally moved out yesterday) after dealing with terrible landlord situations. This was the pick-me-up I needed."
"Brilliant story! I'm such a believer in 'What goes around, comes around.' Karma is a bitch, as they say.I've heard so many stories about real estate agents and have even suffered similar situations to yours, so it's nice to hear a little comeuppance story :-)"
People were clearly ready to cheer for this ending.
