An 18-year-old woman allowed her boyfriend of three months to move into her apartment without revealing she owned the building. She rented out the lower floor for $500, which he was unaware of. When he found out, he became angry and demanded 50% of the rental income.
The woman had kept the ownership a secret, believing it wasn’t significant. But one day, her tenant informed her about a broken freezer, leading to the revelation. When her boyfriend learned she was a landlord, he accused her of being “evil” and only caring about money.
“He demanded that I give him 50% of the money I make from rent or else I was just as bad as he thought,” she explained. The argument escalated, with the boyfriend threatening to expose her and even attempting to punch a hole in the wall.
Ultimately, the woman broke up with him. “My boyfriend just laughed and told us both he never wants to see us again and that he was out,” she recounted. Reddit users supported her decision and advised her to change the locks.
