Citizens of the Curbed Universe, we know most of you have truly unforgettable stories about awful landlords, roommates, and rental apartments. Care to share? Because Curbed wants to hear from you.
Next week will be Curbed's Renters Week, wherein we dedicate roughly half our content to the glorious world of renting in the ski towns of North America. We'll be covering everything from where to rent right now to the very best and very worst apartments in the high country. And, of course, Rental Horror Stories. That's where you come in, dear, sweet readers. Everyone knows that renting in ski country is difficult at best and a nightmare at worst. Get kicked out of your building just to see a new 5-star hotel take over? Have you been living in your car for two years because there's just no affordable lodging available? Starting now, please send us your renter horror stories for entry into a national Renters Week contest. The rules are simple: we'll collect 'em all and put the best up to a vote next week. The winner on this site will face off against other worthy Renter Horror Stories from our other Curbed sites in a massive poll hosted on curbed.com next Friday. Then—and here's the best thing—the national winner will claim a two-night staycation at a local boutique hotel! Our tip line is officially open, so send your tales immediately. Thanks for playing!
