quick story: Landlord calls, old-school dude, must be in his 70s or 80s. He had a tenant who he hated and who hated him. Tenant would pour cement down the drain and stopped paying rent until the landlord fixed it. LL's pissed cause its on the same septic as his own home, wants to know what he can do. I explained that its the landlord's responsibility to unclog the drain (must keep the property in a state of habitability - plumbing is mandatory) and then chase the tenant for the cost. Then LL can file for eviction but expect a few months' delay cause of the pandemic. LL said "fuck that, I know a guy who will just break his arms" and hung up.

Lol wonder what happened
Ya the downside is anything you would be doing to try to mess up your evil tenant’s day, would be things you’d be doing to your own property and be responsible for fixing as a landlord
Hmmm I know you are required to give advanced notice as a landlord before being allowed to enter their residence. But I’d be doing that juuust as often as legally allowed up to every other day or something. Maybe I could occasionally show up and flip all the circuits on the breaker to off, then padlock the thing shut with a heavy duty lock. That’d mean no AC, all the stuff in the fridge going to go bad, etc. Then play dumb and take my sweet time getting over to investigate it. Would have to be creative on how to cause problems without causing direct damage
