An 18-year-old woman sought advice on Reddit’s AITA subreddit after her boyfriend of three months discovered she owned the two-story house they lived in. Renting the first floor for a modest $500, she hadn’t initially disclosed her ownership. The revelation occurred when the tenant discussed a broken freezer. “I told him that because I am her landlord,” she recalled. This disclosure left her boyfriend outraged, insisting she share 50% of the rent or be deemed “evil.”

Despite her offer to donate half to charity, he branded her selfish. The situation escalated, prompting her to involve her father. During their meeting, the boyfriend scornfully laughed, declaring he never wanted to see them again before storming out. The Reddit community advised her to change locks and be cautious about potential future interactions.

This story highlights the challenges arising from financial transparency in relationships, sparking a debate about trust and societal perceptions of landlords. The woman, seeking clarity on her moral standing, ultimately chose to end the relationship due to irreconcilable differences.
