An Unethical Life Pro Tip (or ULPT) is a tip that improves your life in a meaningful way, perhaps at the expense of others and/or with questionable legality. Share your best tips you've picked up throughout your life, and learn from others!

ULPT Rules:

Tips must be unethical, tips that are ethical will be removed.
Tips must provide some benefit to you.
Post titles must begin with "ULPT" or "ULPT Request", and should be descriptive. The title should explain the gist of the ULPT without needing a description. Post that are walls of text will be deleted at the mods discretion.
No tips about rape, murder, suicide, or any tips that violate Geneva Convention laws.
No tip lists, each individual post should be about a single tip. This includes links to articles that list tips.

They wanted to DNA test my dog and keep his biometric data on file as part of the terms of the last lease I was looking at.

I uhh, didn't fucking sign. The neofeudalist movement is for real.

This so they can fine you when you leave your dog’s shit on the ground for other people to step in. I’m here for it. I lived in a place that did not enforce picking up after your animals and it was absolutely disgusting.

They won't send don't do that at all anyway, but hey at least the professional landlord class gets to inflict upon you one more indignity for some imagined benefit.

The park adjacent to those buildings has so much dog turd in it you'd think they were purposely producing low quality fertilizer over there.

Yeah, they do that these days to identify who lets their dogs poop around the property and don't pick it up.

Or...They threaten to do this and just keep your $600

It's really the threat that motivates people, and it's the free $600 non-refundable deposit that motivates the landlords.
