Our Landlady Threw Us Out to Give the Upgraded Apartment to Her Sister — But Fate Quickly Taught Her a Harsh Lesson 5 days ago

Judith and Chris are blindsided when their landlady abruptly demands they vacate the dream apartment they painstakingly renovated. Forced out by the landlady’s manipulative sister, they scramble to find a new home, unaware of the deceit that lies beneath. But karma has a way of balancing the scales.

You know that feeling when you finally find a place that feels like home? That was our old apartment.

It was a dump when we first moved in, but we struck a deal with our landlady that we’d renovate the place in exchange for paying a lower rent.

Two years of sweat, savings, and every ounce of creativity Chris and I could muster had gone into turning that rundown space into something we could truly call our own.

Every morning, I’d wake up to the soft sunlight streaming through the sheer curtains in the living room, painting everything in a warm, golden hue. I’d sit with my coffee on the old leather armchair Chris had found at a yard sale, and I’d just… breathe. It was perfect. We were perfect.

But then, everything changed.

Mrs. Johnson, our sweet landlady who had always been so kind to us, called one evening.

“Judith, dear,” she started, “I’m afraid I have some bad news.”

I braced myself, but nothing could have prepared me for what she said next.

“My sister, Lisa… she’s in a bit of a bind. She lost her job and her apartment, and she has nowhere else to go. I’ve thought long and hard about this, but I’ve decided she’ll be moving into your apartment. I’m so sorry, but I need you and Chris to move out in a month.”
