slumlord 

A landlord who tries to maximize profits by not maintaining properties until threats of condemnation and charges more than the property's worth.

They usually own a-LOT of properties and those properties usually are in the ghetto while they are living in gated communities and mansions.

They don't care who they rent to or what the condition of the properties are in, just as long as they get rent money.

They will rent to the biggest pieces of shit on earth such as violent sex offenders, crack heads, jailbirds, white trash, alkys, junkies, thieves, gangbangers, or just plain assholes.

Usually only accept rent in cash to avoid taxes, may have a history of tax evasion charges, and serve alot of evictions.

When something goes wrong with the house due to neglect, the slumlord usually blames the tenants and raises the rent because he had to fix it.

Most slumlords do not give background checks or charge security deposits. However, if they do give a background check and you have a criminal history, no problem! They will let you move right in. And if they do charge security deposits, they will keep it and say ("you damaged the property more than the security deposit is worth, but i'm going to be nice not take you to court") just to psyche you out of suing him.
My house is falling apart, full of mold, mildew, rats and cockroaches and the roof is leaking. There is exposed wiring, broken windows, gaping holes in walls, lead paint peeling from the woodwork, and crack heads living upstairs. In the basement, there is a sewage leak and missing or broken structural beams AND THE LANDLORD AINT DOING SHIT ABOUT ANY OF THAT!!! He even rented out the downstairs apartment knowingly to a child molester fresh out of prison knowing I have 3 young children living with me. Then after I finally moved out, he had the balls to withhold my security deposit and take me to court saying i destroyed the apartment (eventhough i left it in better condition than when i moved in) and said that I didn't pay rent for 3 months. What a slumlord!

The building is now condemned and boarded up HA HA HA.

Slumlord City

A term to describe Los Angeles because It’s an overpriced city filled with landlords who price gouge their rent and don’t bother to have the place remodeled unless if they can charge more for it. You won’t be able to find a studio in LA that’s clean and well kept unless if it’s newly remodeled. Almost every building is old and has tons of pests and roaches in them. You’re basically paying high cost living for slummy living.
“Hey boo. I just got back from Los Angeles after being there for a month.”

“Ew. You mean slumlord city?”

“Why are you calling it that?”

“Because, you can’t get a nice place without roaches or a psycho landlord unless if you make a lot of money already. Those slum lords leach off of their tenants and don’t even bother to fix up the place. When I lived there, everyone there pretty much calls it slumlord city. Many people are moving out of LA because buildings are dominated by them.”

A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.

Usage:
* Often casual, ironic, or meme-y
* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”

Not a brand name—just shorthand for the whole GLP-1 wave. Frequently shows up in online jokes, gym talk, and group chats where people pretend they’re *totally* doing it naturally.
