Wow.
I’ve never really had any monstrous landlords. I remember when my grandparents had this cheap, run-down apartment in Florida and the owner, a morbidly obese gypsy woman in a shawl, would scream at me and fork weird hand signs at me and screech “I make death curse on you, bad devil child, death curse.” Weird.
On re-reading that, it does seem a little weirder from the get-go than a normal “rent an apartment from a landlord” situation since he seems to be just renting a room in a house with other people living there and sharing all the common areas, with the house’s owner being 1 of them. That just seems like a ridiculously awkward situation rife with the potential for disaster even in the best of circumstances (which this obviously is not).
