Though he may be a vegan, landlord Motti Lerer has quite a bit of beef with his tenants' food.


Earlier this month, Lerer raised eyebrows after a peculiar stipulation for renters looking to move into his buildings in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York – tenants are strictly forbidden from cooking any sort of meat while inhabiting the property.



“For me, it’s very simple. I can’t stand the smell of carcasses being cooked.” Motti told Bon Appétit of his unusual policy, admitting that the buildings he rents, with units going don’t “have the greatest ventilation” despite boasting respective $5,750 or $4,500 monthly rents.


As his tale of vegan tyranny appeared in the New York Times and Bon Appétit, social media users flocked to the scene, slamming Lerer’s micromanaging ways.



“If the building is so poorly ventilated maybe she should do something about it rather than dictate the lifestyles of her tenants,” wrote Instagram user @blockheaded_bracegirdle on Bon Appétit’s post detailing the story.


“They found a way to make landlords worse,” mused @hiicontrast.


Meanwhile, others roasted Lerer’s penchant for embodying two of the internet’s most hated demographics.


“Imagine being a vegan because you hate that animals are exploited and then you go and become a landlord lmao,” joked @chickenparmajawn.


“Damn a vegan and a landlord can u pick a struggle,” quipped annietarricone.


So if you've been wondering what the most hated combination of person is, look no further, we've found him.
