TENANT RETURNS TO HER APARTMENT AFTER A FEW MONTHS AWAY. SHE CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT SHE FINDS

In a now-viral TikTok, Claire (@claire_lewos) says she hadn’t been to her apartment in a couple of months. It’s common for university students to leave their apartment and go back to their hometowns for the summer.

When she arrived at the property, she says she noticed the front door was ajar. She says the interior also smelled like marijuana—an activity she says she and her roommates do not take part in.

“I thought maybe it was just maintenance,” she says, recalling that all the bedroom doors were also unlocked. But that thought was quickly squashed when she entered her room. She says she noticed her clothes had been thrown out of her closet onto the floor. And, she adds, her bedspread was undone as if someone had slept in her bed.

“Someone had been living in my room,” she exclaims. As she entered her bathroom, she says she saw water dripping from her loofah. The still-wet loofah implies someone had used her shower not long before she arrived.

Claire says her dad contacted the landlord, who promised to change the door code. But that solution wasn’t enough to keep the strangers from reentering. 

Claire says she received a call from her neighbors that the strangers were back. The strangers reportedly claimed that it was legal for them to live there.

Commenters expressed their shock at Claire’s predicament, suggesting how to resolve the issue. “Girl, did you file a police report? If you don’t, there won’t be a record of anything. Get things in text from property management and roommates,” one wrote.
