I've had the ''privilage'' of existing in a place like this....freakin NASTY...but, the landlord was not willing to deal with it so I cut his sorry ass a deal...I cleaned out the mess, rehabed the house he paid the expenses and after all the work was done and he signed off on it I got a two year lease in writting for half the origional rent PLUS I was allowed to stay there after the initial clean up until the work was done...stayed there for a total of three years, sweet deal for both...me I'm handy with tools I know when to call a tradesman and I'm a clean person. What did I find out? That people who live like this are severly depressed and overwhelmed and that landlords are not all ass holes, just tired of having to babysit mentaly ill tenants...and that I had to fight to prove I wasn't the ''average deralick''...just broke even though I worked full time. Yes, you can say we used one another...but it turned out to be a win win all the way around. The previous tenant had been institutionalized...I did however realize that some of her belongings were irreplaceable and set them aside for her family to retrieve
@Thomas Johnson if you have a nice home in a halfway decent neighborhood you don't have to deal with broke people to begin with this place is just a dump that's the only type of people he's going to get
Guttersnipehater, You must have a crystal ball... , based on what the house HAD to be renovated completely? Also, the tenant saw it and signed the rental agreement. From what I see, the tenant RENOVATED the house for free and made it into a landfill.
@CA Babyboomer I don't know about where you live, but in Canada an owner can't raise the cost of the rent just because he made some renovation...no more than a new owner can make the tenants leave, if they pay the rent...the only reasons he can ask them to move is: one of his children is going to live in the place, or mother, or near family, or himself...or it is not sane to live in...only in most case it's not the owner that will ask for this!!! you seem to see as a negative thing that tenants live in the same place for a long time? I think that in this case it should be easier to talk to them (tenants) because you them? if it's not the case maybe you should be more present in your property???
My qauestion is how can that house be rented out when there isn't a real bedroom since it appeared that it didn't have a second floor. Second just a sub floor in the kitchen? I don't care what state you live in that is illegal to rent a place like that. That owner better bring it up to code before he tries to re-rent it again they probably charge 800.00 a month for a sub standard home. I'm a landlord and this type of housing makes us all look bad. No wonder she stopped paying rent
I do agree with you on that however not about the refusing to pay rent part, if your not willing to accept the conditions of the landlord then dont move in in the first place.
I am not apposed to any evictions but, this land lord should be ashamed of himself for charging ANY rent for this place. He probably owns some of the other dumps in the neighborhood too.
Dana Orr Che ryl If he is a slum lord, the tenant is worse. Is the tenant blind and deaf ? Did the tenant not do a walk through of the property before she decided to agree to sigh a lease and live there ? Don’t pretend that place wasn’t clean and presentable when she saw it advertised and she made an appointment to meet the owners to check it out to make her decision. How long do you think people should continue to live in a property without paying any rent? HOW LONG ? If the property is unlivable, why are you staying ? People on JJ always say that, “the property is unlivable!” Then get out. But if you’re not paying rent of course you don’t mind staying and trying to get things repaired. And does the tenant have a sense of smell. You’re just a lazy pig.
Dana Orr , if a person wants to rent a place,& agrees to the rent , they need to pay their rent. That person knew what they were renting,& if it’s a shit hold or not
Antonio Kinsey , I hear ya, I got a renter that supports to work off part of his rent, all winter he doesn’t do anything, but bitch it’s to cold. I just added 250.00 to his rent so I’ll hire someone else for the work, he can just keep his ass in the RV 25/7 or get out. I won’t let him move the RV owing money, I’ll buy a lean on it & take the tidle
Got to laugh when slumlords want video their property after an eviction. That house doesn't even have a decent railing to the front door. Windows looking like they are 100 years old.
That's exactly what Landmark Group is. They're slumlords rent bad houses in bad areas. I had to watch a few of these videos to realize this was in Omaha.
I lived in a place like that. The landlord tried to charge me $1,000 a month in rent, I told him I wouldn't pay anything over $300. He agreed because he knew no one else would move in
Boy, this brings back memories. I am so glad I am out of this business. Years and years of shoveling shit into the ocean. The shit just washes right back up on the shore, and you have to do it all over again. Shoveling the shit right out back into the ocean, only to find the shit back on shore. Back in the 90s people paid there rent. When the 2000s came I started noticing people had a hard time paying the rent. My places where outstanding. Beautiful, only to find out that they turned into slums. It is the renters. Renters have many problems and deep depression. I feel for them. But I could not do it no more. Things are getting worse. People still call me today, asking me for apartments. Because now they know I was a good person, a good landlord. But now it is to late. I am gone....
I lived in a tiny house like that a little over six years ago. It was 320 square feet which iswhat your house looks to be. I am a clean freak so the house was clean. I loved that littlehouse and lived there for eight years.
Linda Harper i did too. My outdoor wraparound porch had more square ft than the inside! But I enjoyed it and took good care of it. Even though I was renting. That's how people should act.
By not paying rent. If you choose to move into a dump then does not mean you take no responsibility at all and expect someone to let you live for free. You don't know what it looked like when the clown moved in now do you. So you just make up shit instead. If you don't like it then don't agree to pay rent and live there.
What a depressing area. Looks like a slum house from the outside. Landlords buying shit properties, spending little or no money on them and renting them to the poor who have no other options. Disgraceful.
Are u accusing them or do you know they have bedbugs or? On the other side i sure hope that if there are bugs they do the right thing. I also know they don't always do that.
I think the house is pretty much a dump before she moved in. No floor coverings except mangy carpet...appliances are trash, the bathroom is nasty. Pretty much a slum to start with!
I don’t blame her, I wouldn’t pay either. That dump isn’t even fit for rats to live in and definitely would fail code inspections. You’re calling her disgusting but you won’t fix up the crumbling rat trap.
He said "New carpet and paint?". I'm in this game and there no way I would consider renting this place. If I can't live in the unit I'm renting, there is NO WAY I'm going to allow a tenant to live in it. Amazing.
This place is a dumb !! Who rents out a dumb like this. Ply wood addition with no siding, hasn't been updated in decades. You got a raggedy rental property, you get raggedy tenants
There are. Look them up. Tenants also have laws that protect them. The common laws for landlords are get rent on time, tenants to inform landlords of any repairs that needs to be done, landlords can ask for damage deposit etc. While tenants have laws that protect them as well. Tenants have the right to peaceful enjoyment of the rental unit, have the rental unit in good condition, landlord has to give notice that they're going to enter the unit(usually 24 hours before at the earliest). Meanwhile, landlords responsibilities are to have the rental unit in good repair, install fire alarms etc and tenants responsibilities are to pay rent on time
lol the only solution would be a monetary one she already is not paying the rent your really think she would pay a judgement, that by the way the owner would have to file and pay for and of course he would be awarded it in the judgement but again she wouldn't pay it.
Douglas Mclean There are laws, which this property manager clearly followed since the police came for the official eviction. Landlords have to be smart, too, in addition to following the landlord/tenant laws.
I think I would feel more sorry for the person if you walked in and the house was neat and they took care of what they had. They obviously did not respect the landlord nor did they respect themselves.
This is already a low income neighborhood. Inflated rent, dangerous areas, landlords cheap af and tired of the mental illness and non payments....its a tough situation because the landlords NEVER invest in fixing the property in these ares because of the high risk tenants they get. It's a vicious cycle where both are to blame imo🤷♂️
So not taking responsibility and pay rent as you agreed to do is not shameful. Expected to live somewhere for free just because you are a scumbag is not shameful. The only thing shameful is that you are no different than this shameful clown tenant. Nobody forced her to move in.
The structure isn't good at all! And responsible rental management should be able to see from the outside what's going on. Ya'll should have nipped it in the bud when shit started! Don't leave the blame for the tenant only!!!
You is right my sister or brother the place would not pass the inspection if the owner pay the inspection to let that goes as for the inspection shall be charge of bribery and conspiracy and a felony charge of the government job of lying of his work was going by to nothing happens ok this place would be shutdown by the real inspection report and the owner would loss his property right now .
That should tell you how the cigaret makers do things to make them the most addictive substance in the world. They put ammonia in so the first drag gives the same pleasure as heroin or crack. Most of that tobacco is really floor sweepings - they roll the crap into sheets, add chemicals, cut up the sheets to look like tobacco leaves and make cigarets out of floor sweepings. The good tobacco goes into 'good' cigs they sell for higher prices in S. America. Thei only pleasure for these people is whem they take a drag and the chemicals kick in. Instead of kicking the poor when they are down go find someone in bad shape and give them a hand.

When I bought the duplex I'm currently living in, my first act was to change all the smoke detectors and the door locks in both units. I discovered that the old locks on BOTH the upstairs and downstairs apts. used THE SAME KEY! It was a pair of those cheap brass "Keyed Alike!" locksets you buy at Home Depot, and they'd been in place for a long time. When my upstairs tenant -- attractive young female who was then in the process of moving out -- heard this, she almost collapsed. The downstairs tenant, who'd been there for years, was just a harmless old guy, but what if he'd been a rapist or a burglar instead -- or had lent his key at one time to any of the same? On this and other matters, the irresponsibility and pure cheapness of both the prior owner AND HIS MANAGMENT COMPANY beggared the imagination. They needlessly exposed each other to legal jeopardy -- as well as being inattentive scum.
Barnaby ap Robert - owner didnt take care of the property and attracted the right kind of tenant and end result is what you are seeing in this video. Owner is a slumlord
Neil Herman The base foundation of the fuckin house is incomplete and is missing grout and you are blaming the tenant for not giving a fuck about the property? No driveway? The grass is the driveway. This guys clearly didnt do inspections. Totally his fault.
It's also sad that that house looks like it needed a lot of work, doors in bad shape, the woodwork looks dry rotted, and the landlord looks like he has to be a slum lord.
They have pets for the same reason anyone else has pets. That's an ignorant question.... These run down rentals are a disgrace . The landlords usually rent to people who are either living with a mental condition , seniors with low income or single parent families . They know that these people will not complain as they cannot afford better accommodations. This landlord is a complete slumlord.
Mimi V Pets require vet visits, attention, walks, some one who has no money can’t properly take care of a pet. And it is sad knowing a pet lives in those conditions along side a pet owner that clearly has mental problems. You think that dog goes on walks and get taken to the vet ? Please.

I would like to have seen the house before MISS THING moved in. Then we would have known the true condition of the house. Bet it didn't look like that!
My parents owned a rental property that was in a better area than this one. It was on a hill looking over a lake with lake access. My parents had to chase down tenants for the rent and had rehab (rehab came out of my parents pockets) the place every 6-8 months. Then they had one tenant ( she was in 2.5 years due to slow eviction process) who paid in fake checks and trashed the place so badly that it had structural and foundation issues. So my parents sold a 60000 house for 18000 as a tear down because it had slid about 3 feet down the hill so it had no water or electricity and they didn’t want to deal with insurance (because it was a total lost cause and just wanted it gone and deal with the lose and they had crappy insurance that really wouldn’t do much). And after months of trying to sue the tenant my parents were only able to get what they were owed for rent by the tenant. From this experience with my parents I can totally understand why Deejay Bishop doesn’t put in a lot of money because he knows he is going to lose it from a tenant who will destroy the place beyond rehabilitation.
If Walmart shames their customers, they'd be on blast. You're making money off of people's misfortunes. People forfeit their bills all the time. Write it off as a loss and get over it.
You would think that not paying your rent for that long you have saved a lot. Why leave the place in horrible condition when the landlord tries to work with you !
This is shameful. This house is in horrid condition. It is uninhabitable and to charge money for this is a total rip-off. Taking advantage of poor people is immoral.
There are 2 sides to every story. I don't hear anything but complaining about how cluttered the house is; yes it is ,and it needs cleaning really bad. You say the woman has been there a number of years. is she old or disabled? What could be the reason she's not paying rent? There are many reasons why people might fall on hard times and not be able to communicate it to the landlord. The house is very dirty. I have a feeling it may have been dirty one she moved in. You claimed she owed $2,000 and paid $900, showing good faith that they would be more payments, but for some reason she apparently wasn't able to, but then you said she still owed $1,500. That math doesn't quite add up although maybe you're adding on the month you claimed that she was squatting there after I'm assuming a legal notice to vacate? I know you property managers see lots of situations and lots of excuses but you sound very jaded and intolerable . Maybe the woman needs Mental Health Services. you also mentioned she has a dog but I don't see any evidence of damage from the dog nor do I see any urine or feces from the dog. this is the United States people are free to have a pet. All I'm saying is I have a landlord who is similar in Attitude as you and it's very hurtful for me, even though my house is clean and not unkept as that one, my landlord has still come over here and strutted through the house and told me it looks better than he thought it would. there was no reason whatsoever for him to say that about me. Also, I don't know why he is so vicious toward some tenants and yet others are his favorites and can do or live anyway they want. Perhaps instead of villainizing this woman the landlord could have some compassion and call Adult Protective Services to see if she needs help. But instead she's just getting thrown out. I've never been evicted and I don't know this woman, but like I say, sometimes a little kindness and a little compassion for people counts a lot. You might want to think about that and your boss as well.😟
I never understood the mentality behind living in filth not throwing trash away and just not living like a functioning adult, its a mental illness i cant wrap my head around it
This looks like my first apartment (small and run down building). I made the best of it though and kept it clean. I was happy to not be homeless and I never missed paying rent. I even had a yard sale to pay some bills and was struggling at the time but I always had a job. My parents owned the property and no, they didn’t let me skip rent because I’m their daughter. I had to pay the rent. They treated me just like a tenant. I was 19 and today I’m 36...I’ve lived in many other apartments. Always always always pay rent and keep it clean and be respectful to your landlords. That’s how I was raised. ✌🏽
Rent should've been free, the house needs to be takin over by the state... he's making it seem like she trashed the place, but that has nothing to do with the old windows, cracks in the floor, counter tops looks like it has black mold between the big ass gap & missing counter top that he tried to pass by fast. YOUR A SLUM LANDLORD ANYWAYS🤷🏽♀️ Just look at the outside of the house, the whole place needs to be remodeled. I wouldn't pay $900 for rent neither, that shit not even worth $500 a month.
How the hell do people live like this? I mean I get in moods where I don’t feel like cleaning but, damn, that’s beyond disgusting. The people entering that house need full hazmat suits.
She is not the only one live like that my big brother or sister and it always be that way you have alot of them are worse then that to put them two together as one just imagine it my people my god yes it is my dear ok just praying for those people they have a demon on them ok they don't have no shame of how they live like that it is not in there mind at all .ok
