The Landlord and Tenant Board found the landlord's conduct 'deplorable,' saying they clearly took advantage of a vulnerable tenant.

He deactivated his and his company’s Twitter account. Remind him what a scumbag he his when he activates those accounts again in a month.

Does Lemmy have a reminder bot? This would be a good use for it.

Has he also deactivated his company's mailbox? I know stamps are more expensive than Facebook comments, but the cost to your soul is so much less.

I think the benefit to Facebook comments is that they're public. what's the benefit to writting a letter if other people can't see it?

I won't actually recommend doing so, but I've definitely contemplated sending glitter bombs to prior landlords who made up charges to withhold security deposits.

Nothing is stopping anyone from taking out a full page ad in a local newspaper and writing their letter that way. Otherwise, I agree, a letter would just wind up in the trash and probably cause the douchenozzle landlord to double down.

Well even a less-than-full-page ad would be good. Also a good way to supported journalism
