A Public Shaming or a Justified Outrage?

A grieving brother, still reeling from the loss of his twin, is hit with a cold demand for money from the landlord of his late brother’s flat. The demand, coming just days after the funeral, sparks outrage, leading to a public showdown on Facebook. Friends rally behind the bereaved brother, but the landlord is furious, claiming his livelihood is under threat. But who’s really in the wrong here? Let’s see what the internet has to say about this emotionally charged situation…

“NTA it always baffled me how people think that next of kin is somehow responsible for the debts of the dead.”

“NTA…he should go through proper channels as a debt would.”

Is the landlord trying to scam money? OP is labeled YTA.

YTA. Landlord’s request criticized for being tactless and opportunistic.

“YTA. But only because you posted it directly on social media without trying to resolve it with the person directly. Inappropriate as it may be to ask you so soon, he really is just doing his job. I’m not sure how next of kin laws are where you live, but even if he could claim that money from I think that could have been settled by a discussion. I feel for your loss and I understand how traumatic this must have been for you but the world doesn’t stop for anyone’s grief. People have to make a living and his landlord took quite a hit too – although this can never match your grief, obviously. Nothing in his message (assuming this is exactly what he said) was disrespectful though. Maybe it was too soon but what dictate’s what too soon? Maybe it was his way of ripping the bandaid off since you’d have to have this discussion eventually and he’s afraid you won’t pay (which a separate issue entirely).”

Replies: “Landlord was not ‘doing his job’. His job would be to file suit against the brother’s estate as a creditor, not message next of kin. Messaging OP was an attempt to get his money fast tracked by guilting a grieving man. OP is completely justified in publicly shaming shady and inappropriate business practices.” “Great job leeching off society.” “Then you should be making a different judgement, because the landlord is engaged in shady and unprofessional behaviour.”

Grieving twin faces heartless landlord. Should they settle the debt?

Soft YTA for posting the message. Grieving is hard and there’s no timetable for it… but business is business and landlord is entitled to recoup his losses from the estate if possible. He seemed polite and you votive responded that you needed more time. If the conversation then got volatile, fine post that but I don’t think he was wrong for asking the executor of the estate for payment in the manner he did. I’m truly sorry for your loss though and hope you find a place of healing.
