Landlord sparks debate after tenants trash apartment in response to eviction TikTok: clean.up.tiktok7A landlord has sparked a massive online debate after claiming he would charge his tenants a hefty cleaning fee when they trashed their apartment upon being served an eviction notice. TikTok is known for making content of all sorts go viral across multiple social media platforms \u2014 and sometimes, these viral clips start a major debate that takes over the internet. From guests wearing white dresses to weddings to customers ordering delivery during inclement weather, there have been a slew of TikTok videos that prompted a worldwide discussion as to morals and ethics. However, the latest clip responsible for sparking such a debate has viewers especially heated, given that it involves a landlord and their tenants. Landlord sparks outrage after charging tenants for apartment damage On July 25, a landlord based in Indianapolis, Indiana uploaded a video to social media showing the wild state in which their tenants had left their apartment. Trash littered the ground, and some kind of stain was spread all across the walls of the living room. The landlord, however, didn\u2019t seem to be bothered. While doing a little dance, the landlord captioned the clip claiming that their tenants hit back by trashing the place in response to getting evicted. So, to hit back at them, the landlord said they were going to hire the most expensive cleaners they could find and hit the former tenants with the charge. \u201cIf they don\u2019t pay up for it, it\u2019s their credit, not mine,\u201d they wrote. The landlord\u2019s plan left commenters pretty divided. On one hand, some commenters sympathized with the landlord, claiming that the tenants deserved the cleaning fee after wrecking their living space. On the other hand, other viewers lashed out at the landlord for purposefully charging the former tenants an arm and a leg while they were already facing eviction and likely struggling to find a new home. \u201cSo, it\u2019s okay to rent something from someone and leave it totally trashed when you leave, without having to pay to clean it up?\u201d one viewer said on Twitter. \u201cThe splatter on the wall is totally not normal. If you rent something from someone, return it in the same condition you got it.\u201d So its okay to rent something from someone and leave it totally trashed when you leave, without having to pay to clean it up?

Still others think the landlord set the whole thing up. \u201c99 percent chance the guy did it himself,\u201d one user theorized. \u201cAlmost for sure to go viral,\u201d another replied. \u201cA true destructive person wouldn\u2019t be artistic with the ketchup.\u201d This is just the latest viral debate to take over TikTok after an AI model took the site by storm despite not being real.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
