A landlord turned off Tenant Client's family's heat upon learning Client was an immigrant.
Landlord hired three different law firms to argue this was legal, then fired each one after they couldn't get our case dismissed.
This week, landlord settled for enough that Client will buy a house.
Tell me something that brought you joy this week.
Any old thing will do. Small joys are as good as big ones—sometimes even better.
👀
Utter cunt.
What a win! Congrats to you AND to Tenant Client!
Good.
If you legally can, please name the landlord and his real estate business
People like that should be named and shamed at every opportunity.
👏🏼🤗
You took an incredibly hard path in life but this world truly is a much better place because of it.
This story brought me joy today and the announcement of 6-8 months with the hope it was 5.5-7.9 months ago!!! Get your joy where you can!!! lol
You are my favorite lawyer.
That’s great! Can you give a rough timeline? Because it sounds like this must have stretched quite a bit, and successful results may require a very patient client. (#noillusions)
The landlord should have known better about landlord-tenant-law of the state.🙄
🥳
✊🏾
I don't even know how you can lawyer like that but it's awesome to see there are people fighting for the people.
I remember when we used to believe in "United we Stand"
That’s amazing! 🥳
Feeling Tremendous JOY !!!!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Incredible
Thabk you for the news.
fuck yeah!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU!! 💙 😊 🇨🇦
I love happy endings 🥰
YES!! I love that! Make these evil sack of shit racists pay!
Bringing everyone who reads this joy. 🤩
they really wanna feel like they're a landLORD, god damn they are fucking stupid
I guarantee they will spend the rest of their life moaning to other racists that the government made them buy a house for immigrants just because they were immigrants
Triumph! Love it
well you certainly understood the assignment
A pox on the firms that took those cases.
Nature is healing
DAMN that’s excellent!
YES!
How do people come to a point where they think this kind of behaviour is acceptable. I just don't get it. "I think this person is different from me so that makes it OK for me to do something horrendously evil".
Whoo-hoo!
I smile! You smile! We all smile for this good news!
Very nice!
Yes!
Brava!
This gives me so much savage joy
W
🤗
Holy shit this is amazing
Great result!
You’re a fucking legend, Sheryl.
Fuck yes
If I saw posts like this in high school I might be a lawyer, CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Rock and roll, Sheryl. Thanks for being a light in this world.
the way i want to Nelson-laugh that landlord
Good for you Sheryl, that must feel pretty great.
Dudes will see something like this and say “hell yeah.”
Yayyyyy! Justice ⚖️
That is very satisfying to hear.
What a racist pos I’m hoping that landlord is going to face the streets soon
Stuff like that makes me happy, even here in the middle of Europe! 😊
I hope to see this happen again
Love this story, it brought me joy. I hope they enjoy their new 🏠
💞
Trumps America is horrible. How do people think they can do this to people?
This is dadgum fantastic!
That's amazing. ❤️
Love this! Thx!
Thank you!
Yay. Congratulations and thank you for sharing some happy news.
finally, a landlord providing housing for real
LETS GO!!
👏👏👏👏👏Well done. And thank you so so much!!!
Fuck yes, Sheryl!!
Still mad that by the time I found somebody to apply to "tenants of European descent only" rental listing on Craigslist they'd taken it down.
That is fantastic! I'm glad for you.
Well done! Bravo!
Reading this brought me joy!
wow, what an asshole
why the fuck does he care if his tenants are immigrants or not
their money spends the same
Thank you, @leftistlawyer.com, for sharing this, and for the W.
As a disabled, mentally ill lawyer who hasn't been able to resist much, I'm hella impressed at your bad-ass win.
Yay!!
Fantastic work!
I love you for that!
Hell yeah.
What the fuck. What was the landlord's attempt at an argument?
Okay. that is pretty damn dope. May the tenant client and their family sleep so well. May the ex landlord never find the cool side of a pillow.
Love this. Thank you! 💖
I’d say that’s a big one!
GOOD. And thank you
HELL YEAH this made my day
Fuck yeah
😊
Nice! Hope the landlord also bankrupted themself in the process.
this made my day, thanks
Aaayyyeee
Hell yeah. This is so good.
Hooray!
Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful.
Actually warmed my heart to read, thanks for the amazing work you do <3
My god, it’s beautiful.
GODS, yes. Good work and congrats to them.
Justice prevailing, love that for them, and hopefully that landlord learned their lesson.
That's a heart warming story 💓 Huge congrats to the new homeowners
that's awesome
wow what an amazing job. Congratulations!
Hurrah!
yes!
That's an awesome ending to a shit landlord story! Congrats to you and your client. I hope that landlord has the life they deserve.
That’s lit. Well done.
That’s brilliant.
Good. Fuck the landlords.
♥️♥️♥️
Good! Landlords are parasites as it is. 👏😃❤️🔥
Hate is expensive
That is a good one
Great work!
This warmed my heart, thank you so much
take some of that $$$ and make sure this is the top item any time someone googles the landlords name
Good job 👏
We love to see it!
Well I hope they buy a house and never have to deal with that shit again
Holay
I love when this happens. And you helped out a dear friend of mine recently, too, which I also love!
EPIC! 🎉
Well done!
Well, that’s good.
Do the lawyers' happy dance!
This W is so big I’m so fucking happy for this person. Get that house <3
Yaaaaasssssssss! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
That. Is. One. Big. Joy! 🤗
And it's out of the park... it's gone, that's all three bases running in and the hitter rounding to home
Treble damages?
Thank you for your hard work.
Hahahah, eat fucking dogshit, landlords
Definitely a big joy!😁
Ahhh sweet victory! Way, way, WAY better than the other bullshit you had to put up with this week. Brava!
This makes me feel so much better
Girl..thanks..that also brought me joy💙🦋✌️
Fuck yeah, way to go. This is the correct outcome of a shitty situation. I hope that landlord rots in hell
I haven't laughed this hard in ages 🤣. This is FAFO in it's purest form
Hell yeah!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳❤️❤️
Great work!
Hell yeah
Hell yes Sheryl! Way to go!
This is the kind of FAFO we need more of.
Thank you for sharing this
🍾🍾🍾
Congratulations! You’re doing great work.
Maximum landlord stupidity!
This is beautiful.
That’s going to fill up my tank. Thank you.
That’s amazing!
Genuinely one of the most comforting things I've read in months, thank you :)
Hell yeah
You go, girl.
Whopeeeee!!! 😁😁😁
🎉
Thank you for sharing the joy. That is wonderful.
Holy sh!t, nice
That's fantastic news.
Out fucking standing.
More lawyers like you please
You love to see it
Fuck yeah, this is awesome and you rock for fighting for them. Thank you!
This story is absolutely delicious and nourishing. ❤️
This makes me happy! Thanks!
Fabulous
Both of my sons are appreciated in their respective work environments. I was actually 'thanked' for giving birth to my musician son (by another musician). That doesn't happen every day, but not the 1st time. Makes me happy that he's respected and getting lots of work
What a piece of trash.
It’s crazy this was even a case but I’m glad it had a positive resolution for your client
Power should be cut to buildings ICE is using.
Hell yeah
🦀🦀🦀
That's awesome!
If I can ask a technical question, was this a federal case or a state case? Does Illinois (iirc that's where you're at) have specific tenant protections against stuff like this?
Well that landlord screwed around and found out.
Best joy I've experienced all week!
Good job. Magnifique!
You're a real one. ♥️
There are days when schadenfreude is the greatest gift we can receive. Thank you for today's gift.
fuck yeah
That brought me joy and I needed it.
Brilliant outcome.
At the very least I wish our landlord would sell the house to us. They are so short sighted (actually lazy/leech wanting us to pay them for work they don't do), always unwilling to spend any money, which costs them even more money later
LOVE this!!
HELL YEAH
Now that is a real one
Amazing
What an ordeal but I’m so glad they got some recompense. May that landlord learn a lesson so nobody else suffers this way and also have the time they deserve.
Wowwww this is a beautiful story ☺️
