A woman in New York City said she successfully used OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot to fix appliances in her apartment after her landlord tried to raise her rent.
“It was bold to raise the rent in retaliation after filing a complaint and demanding a rent reduction based on degraded services throughout the building,” a woman called “Svetlana” told SWNS media.
Svetlana said she received a message in February that her building’s washer and dryer had not worked for more than two years and that her rent would increase by 0.4 percent from $1,389 to $1,395. She received her notice days after applying for a rent reduction for her broken washing machine.
She said she turned to the wildly popular chatbot ChatGPT to help her draft a letter to lower her rent. and has the fastest growing user base, reaching 100 million monthly active users in January.

She said her washing machine was repaired the same month she sent the AI-generated letter to her landlord.

“There was no formal response from the landlord. A sign was posted in my building announcing that the laundry room had reopened,” she added.
Svetlana told the outlet that she works as an executive assistant and uses ChatGPT in a professional capacity. After her success with her landlord, she’s considering using chatbots for other legal matters.
“I thought about issuing a dreaded legal letter to neighbors who frequently chain smoked indoors,” she said.
“It has definitely strengthened my belief in… what it feels like [the] The limitless future of AI,” added Svetlana.
