One of my bros, and also my pledge father, was a Russian Jew who did absolutely nothing to dispel stereotypes about his people. In fact, he relished in them. He was covered in a thick layer of hair and would often walk around the house without a shirt, eating tuna out of the can (and drinking the juice too, the disgusting motherfucker). He was the type of dude who was always scheming and working an angle. A lot of the time, I'd get dragged into his shenanigans and one of those times was when he convinced me we should room together. There was no frat row at my school, so the typical situation is 4-7 guys from any given frat would rent houses in a couple neighborhoods that were about 15 minutes from campus. Each frat would have anywhere from 3-5 houses that they'd rotate parties through until the landlord got sick of them or their lease expired. Anyway, this time around, the house we were looking at was within 5 minutes from campus and it was going to be our frat's main party house. We found an ad for a really nice house and went to check it out. The landlord gave us a tour and then dropped this on us: "This is my first time renting, so please be good". First time landlord? My buddy and I popped low key boners right then and there. We knew what that meant-- she has no clue what the fuck she's getting herself into. I'll take this moment to interject that we were in a state with liberal renting laws that are slanted in favor of the tenant, a fact we were both well aware of. We promised we'd be good and she told us she would get a lease together for us to sign. Later on, we met up with her to deal with the lease and she handed us what looked like a generic lease that she printed out from an email forward (I'm talking each line had a ">" in front of it) or a shitty Google search. What followed was 4 months of doing everything we could to defile that house and make it pop off. We threw increasingly wild parties each week. After one of near the end of our stint, she showed up pounding on our front door but unable to enter because we had barricaded it with a 70 inch projector TV. She was fucking furious at our antics and the gloves were off. She started threatening my roommate, "YOU SIGNED A FUCKING LEASE AND YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW IT!!!" But there was one detail she missed: she had forgotten to grab the lease the day we signed it. In fact, we never actually did sign it. She had talked our ears off the whole time about her dumb newborn and never took it with her. OOPS! My roommate, aware of this, began to smile a victorious smile and retorted, "What lease?" She was incredulous, "The lease you signed that I have right h.........". She paused a moment, realizing her poor predicament, and yelled, "YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!" After making each other miserable a bit longer to the point of stale mate, my roommate and I agreed to move out and find another place. Not surprisingly, she did what probably any landlord would do-- kept our deposit. Now, yes, morally, she might have been "in the right" but she had made us into mortal enemies at that point and we weren't going to stand for her shit. So we did what any victimized (ha) tenant would do and took her to small claims court. When she couldn't produce any evidence of her house being in better condition before our tenancy than it was after, it was pretty much over. She knew she got the proverbial dick and we were getting most of our deposit back. We smarmily collected what the court deemed we were owed and walked out that bitch like 2pac beating a case. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QkAmlH85Dg
