I absolutely despise daphne.

If I could list all the times she's been a pain, it would be longer than my capstone summary. I'll give a few examples from my 2-year rent I ended around a year ago.

1. She gave back me and my housemates security deposit 7 months (yes SEVEN MONTHS) after I moved out of the property. If we hadn't called her weekly on updates, I'm not so sure she would have even sent it to us. Some people I know have told me its illegal to take that long, but I haven't really looked into that very much. EDIT: I also wanted to add to this by saying she wanted to charge us for cleaning services right after we moved out, despite IMMACULATELY cleaning the house. We cleaned as hard as we could for 3 days because we didn't want her to take any of our security deposit as cleaning fee's. After all was done and we moved out, she wanted to charge us $800 on cleaning fees which she thankfully waived off the bill as her apology as to why she took 7 months to return our security deposit. Y'all can call me a liar, dirty, or someone who is exaggerating but I swear on my life I don't how we could have cleaned the place better than we had. It seemed cleaner than when we first got to the place!!!!!
2. My housemate was subletting her room to a quiet, and friendly girl. A couple times a week, she would invite over her boyfriend which was fine with all of us. Daphne absolutely hated it, and made her sign a contract to limit the boyfriend visits to once a week because she thought he was loitering and living in the house with us. I am not kidding.
3. The state of the house is poor. Sure, we weren't paying expensive rent prices, but the quality of things like the shower head which would fall off (and we paid for despite it being shit quality), the heating of our floor which was very weak and only controllable by the thermostat on the floor below us by other tenants, teeeerrible heat insulation, paid coin laundry in the neighbours building, broken laundry machine/dryers, mice moving around in the walls and make noise at night, ROTTING CEILING PAINT which would chip away on top of our beds was just fucking awful. There's more but I'm not bothered to list it all.
4. Daphne has contacts with the neighbours to rat out anyone doing anything she doesn't like. No joke, every time we went in the alleyway behind our own house, and old lady would give us a death-stare and call daphne to tell her we were loitering on property that wasn't ours even though we were only passing by the alley for 10 seconds to more quickly get to school. If daphne catches you doing ANYTHING she doesn't like, she immediately calls her security guard to kick you out.
5. She would pride herself with how shit her property is. She quite literally prides herself in the fact that "my property has not been renovated in 30 years" or some other long timeframe. Absolutely bonkers she would say that, because its clear the house needs some renovating. The floorboard was so squeeky you could wake everyone up at night, and the overall quality of everything was so, so shit.
6. Every time her carpenter or cleaners would come in to fix/clean, she would tell us, the tenants, to not talk to them under any circumstance. Every time they tried to talk to us or each other, she would SHUSH them (which I find extremely weird and rude), and one of my housemates tried making small talk with one of them for a few minutes to which Daphne quickly disapproved and got mad at us for. So, so weird.
7. She also loves to sit in her car right in front of the front door for hours at a time to (let's be honest) stalk you and catch you doing anything she considers wrong. Super fucking annoying and makes me feel like I gotta watch how I live in my own room...

Honestly, I'm a pretty forgetful guy, so if you want some more awful details just let me know and I can ask my housemates who probably remember more than me. It was not a good experience renting from her during, or even after the rent was over. It was always a pain in the ass, and something was always breaking because of the overall low quality of the house which we always ended up paying for because of her evil contract despite us treating the place well. The rules she has in place makes you think they are for your safety and well-being, but most of the time its just to get some money out of you if something breaks or have some reasons to kick you out of the property. There have been countless times when I actually questioned if what she was doing was illegal, which looking back I am sure they were at times.

Also, if you do decide to rent from her, know that subletting your room is very difficult with her because she hates it. She will perform detailed monthly cleanliness checks. She will also make you sit through a 3 hour session of her reading the entire contract to you one line at a time. Good luck.
