ULPT Request: How to inconvenience my unscrupulous soon-to-be ex-landlord without directly impacting the next tenants?

Long story short, where I'm from there's a massive housing crisis happening. During the pandemic, with inflation and rents skyrocketing, the government paused evictions and set a cap on how much landlords can raise rent. My landlord tried to raise the rent beyond the cap when I pointed it out, he said, “OK, let's raise it to the limit, then. And by the way, I won't be renewing the contract”.

So he's kicking me out to ride the speculation wave and rent this dump for at least 2x the price. He can do this legally. He informed me on time that he wouldn’t renew the lease, he doesn’t owe me anything.

I want to be a huge nuisance and make this man's life hell for a little bit. I see a lot of these kinds of posts here, but most advice seems like it'd make life harder for the future tenants instead of the landlord. Any ideas on how I can do that without screwing over the next tenants?
