Yep, it's just like that. I rent out my old house at a very reasonable rate. Almost too reasonable, but the tenant can easily afford the rent, and they take excellent care of the property. I rarely have any maintenance issues, and they do all the yard work. My first tenant lived there for twelve years until she bought her own home. She said she would have never been able to afford a home if not for me. I think everyone should have a chance to be a home owner. Greed will eventually cripple this nation.
i did the same thing for 24 years. I charged very reasonable rent and my first tenant stayed 10 years. Turnover is expensive, when you charge a reasonable rent they stay longer.
The thing is, paying $2000 a month in rent means that you are NOT poor. Following income guidelines for most properties, $2000/mo in rent puts you at a monthly income (before taxes) of $4000-$6000 per month, which equals about $25-$37.50 per hour that this hypothetical person in the video is being paid by their job. The fact that this person could no longer “qualify” (fancy way of saying they’re just choosing to kick you out on your butt for an arbitrary reason) is just blatant, almost laughable greed on their property management’s part. And all the apartments in the area are typically doing the same exact thing to their residents at the exact same time, so now you’re going to be treated as if you _are_ poor, even though you’re clearly not. Top tier Corporate American fckery.
the "thank you" at the end just breaks my heart. Too many corporations are buying up homes so that first home buyers can't even afford them and that jacks up rent since they have to live somewhere. State legislatures or Congress need to prevent corporations from buying homes, we can't keep going like this
They never will fix it, it will only become worse until there is a full out revolution imo. The government only exists to protect corporations and make them money as they line their pockets. Its a broken system that rewards and encourages corruption, the people in control have no desire to let it be fixed or changed.
I totally agree it’s not fair at all!! I’m 25 and I got tired of paying high rent so I decided to look for a house because atleast I’ll own it but houses are so high and I got a mortgage rate for a $3400 a month for a $300,000 house and it was not that grand considering the fact my grandparents have a way bigger house with twice the land they bought in the 90s for 75K
Vox had an article about this problem. They said there is a new proposal called, "The Stop Wall Street Landlords Act". "The stated goal of the new House bill is to deter future institutional investments into single-family homes. It would try to do this in a few ways, including by barring corporate investors from claiming certain tax breaks like the mortgage interest deduction, and imposing a transfer tax on the sale value of new single-family home purchases."
The bs that people have to go through to live, just to make the rich get richer is ridiculous. There needs to be better standards than dealing with crooks.

Different take: what if you owned a rental property. Not a fancy multi apartment complex. A simple single family home. You probably worked hard to save enough for that for many years, knowing that by the time you retire you’ll need that extra source of income. Then you start seeing the taxes on that property go up. Would you increase rent on your tenants to cover the expenses, cover it out of your own pocket, or vote out the government that approved the increase?
You’re absolutely correct I gave up my career to care for my one and only family I’m his voice sadly and hurtful how people treat one another you’re right 🙏🏽

The corporations are buying up all the houses here in california.. They are overbidding the price of the houses. So that ordinary people can not buy the House. The rent is sky rocking Every time I go outside There are more and more homeless people entire family's And the government is doing nothing about it. Because The politicians are so rich they have five Or six mansions They just keep buying more and more more and more rich. There's no justice in this world... They do not Care how many people die on the streets every day.
What also sucks is that often this is not even a good business decision. Sometimes it is better to have steady tenants than constantly fighting each month, going through evicitions, and cleaning up vacancies, to start everything over again with the expectation of how much more money you should or can make.
As a European, every time I see a video like this I’m in disbelieve on how the most wealthy nation on this planet can disregard basic human rights over profit.
There's a lot of extremely greedy people in this country and others. I don't know how they can live with themselves honestly. I sometimes think if I were blessed enough to have extra space to rent out, I would be reasonable with the amount. I'm not a greedy person by any stretch, so pocketing a profit does not matter to me, as long as I'm not losing money on the mortgage and utilities. At the same time I'd be super picky to make sure the person will not trash my house.

I will pray for something better! I’ve been there too! I’m paying $2039 per month because I refinanced at the right time and I am seeing what should be a generous income shrink. The social worker who came here for my son told me he’s paying $2300 per month for a two bedroom! I have a four bedroom two bath that’s not in perfect shape but I thank God everyday I have a roof over my head as more and more people are priced out of the market! The church across the street from my son’s school used to flag down people trying to give them food before the pandemic! Now the line is four blocks before the church and the church opens at ten and last month they stopped distributing food altogether as have several other places as they don’t have enough! 😢 I will pray for you a place to be safe!
I currently have 2 core roommates taking up my 2 extra rooms then let an old roommate crash in the living room when he and his girl broke up and have 2 others living out my shed cause they are related to one of my core roommates and got evicted with nowhere else to go. My core roommates give me 500/month and the others 200/month then we split the electric bill. Too many people refuse to open their homes up to people in need even when those people could be helping you with your bills or simply be making your life easier. I had a power issue and one of the evictees has electrical experience so was able to fix my issue for cost of parts instead of having to pay out 500$ or more for what was a simple breaker issue.

Who’s responsible for providing free housing ? Where does the money come from? The government takes money from those who produce in order to support those who do not ? No thanks, I’d rather struggle to survive by my own accord and keep the fruits of my own labor.
interest rates are tie to the 10year note. If you were loaning money to the USA, wouldn't you want a decent return on that money for the RISK you are taking? I know I'd want a higher rate to trust the US government. In fact if I don't get it. I am not going to buy their paper. and then the FED will Which is inflationary. If the governemnt stops spending a trillion every three months you will see inflation and interest rates state to come down. Although prices won't ( they never do) the rate the increase will get lower. out of control government spending is debasing our currency and stealing from everyone. If we are feeling it here. Its 10X outside the country
My last apartment raised our rent without telling us, so when my husband and I moved to another state, our rent was lowered significantly and it was a relief! That landlord was ridiculously greedy.
Not only is rent expensive, they make building and owning a house so expensive most first time buyers can't break into the market. "You will own nothing and be happy" also, "You will eat the bugs" WEF.
@@raincoast9010 house builders are incredibly wasteful. I go to house construction sites all the time and see lots of perfectly good material left in the rain or tossed in the garbage. If you watch renovation shows you'll see they destroy perfectly good houses just to update the style to match personal preferences. The trash they produce and waste of natural resources our peaceful society enables cost effective extraction of are only possible bc of cooperation by a society. There is a tipping point where people will not be able to afford to cooperate anymore and then the continued waste generation and procurement of resources will approach true cost bc no one will tolerate it being stolen from or dumped into their backyards for free. This will naturally drive up prices even more but also reduce profitability so then the purchase of multiple vacant obscenely large frequently remodeled houses by ultra rich will be taboo. Thus the supply chain will stop catering that dead market and redirect resources to the working class. The smoother the transition the less of a shock it will come with.
@@raincoast9010 ask the teachers .... they have million dollar waterfront homes. It's insane how they cry about their salaries but make well over 6 figures.
I started watching van life videos ever since the housing crisis. The way I figured it I need to live in somewhere than be homeless. Some people say that living in a van is homeless, but I say ( in the middle of housing crisis) living in a van is genius
This just happened to me. They're doubling the rent and I no longer qualify. Because we live in a college town, they can get rich parents to pay anything they like. I've been struggling to recover from losing my job late last year and now have barely anything and cannot qualify for another apartment that is within the 'allowed' area for my new job. I'm having to get a storage unit for everything but the basics and rent a tiny room until I can save anything and rebuild my credit to do anything. Thankfully, I won't be homeless, but it's insane that everywhere I look wants $2k/mo rent for a one bed even in the middle of nowhere.
remember the lessons of Veronika. Never trust landlords and never trust corporations. They will both leave you bleeding out on the street to chase the dollar bill fluttering down the road.
And should landlords not trust tenants who don't pay their rent on time or in full, destroy property, and just cause problems. You do know it goes both ways.
Literally going through the exact thing right now. We're already overpaying @$4200/month (we were paying $2650/month in 2018 when we first moved in) and they're raising us to $5,000/month...

i mean if your city doesnt have a law in place regarding limits to rent increase then you should probably move to one that does. where I live they can legally only increase your rent 3.5% max a year. and they have to have a valid reason to evict you. they cant just say they've decided not to rent to you anymore especially when you've remained in good standing your entire tenancy. leases are ty[pically only signed for the first year of you living at a residence. I've never had a lease renewal.
@@kyhblizzy the problem is that cities DO have limits. so the only way for the owner to catch up to the market is to get a new renter. Likely the owner wants to keep a good long term renter, but (as we all know) expenses have gone nuts and if limited legally in how much he can raise rent to "catch up for taxes, the mortgage, water bill, electricity, insurance, and maintenance. he just may be faced with a situation where he may NEVER get even. ( because maybe his rent was ALREADY below market before stuff ramped up) now he is really really behind. two sides of this, everyone need to be smart and think about from all angles before they pull out the moronic Its the "rich" BS.
@@redink71i agree to a point, but most of the owners doing this type of shit have zero empathy. They own multiple homes they rent to make passive income. with zero consideration for the good-willed tenants that can barely afford the rent as it is. everyone is struggling with the cost of living and if you can justify the increases that is understandable. but most of these people are buying up all the real estate to rent. and deciding to increase the cost of living for the tenant by outrageous amounts, so they continue to make record profits. your really trying to use the same argument massive corporations use to justify their egregious price gouging. while they continue to make record profits year after year. its nothing more the complete ignorance to think society should allow the wealthy to make excessive passive income manipulating low-income families and their very livelyhood. if your only goal is to make money on a rental property, you shouldn't be a landlord.

families are homeless because of choices they made. In order to be homeless in the USA you have to make a long train of very poor choices over a long period of time. Most of the time its pretty predicable and avoidable.
There is no way this is legal. Especially the renter telling the rentee that the reason they are being kicked out is because they can make more with a new lease signed. That is corporate greed at its core.
Don’t worry… this will self correct. In San Antonio they are overbuilding apartments,and there are LOTS of vacancies because people who were priced out moved back with family. My daughter and I have been looking at apartments and they are offering 1 to 2 months free and prices are coming down.

You need to elevate your class consciousness. People squat because they cant afford the housing market. Your enemy is the landlord and the politicians who have sold us all out to the owner class. If you work for a living, you are a WORKER, not an OWNER.

Veronica knew that it's pointless to try and argue with the insane and the soulless. And the lady in pink has to be one or the other, probably both. Veronica probably said, "Thank you" at the end just to avoid the urge to do something that would lead to her next residence being jail.
I would meticulously collect my dog's poop for 60 days and not pay the 2 months rent (in my country they usually ask for a 2 months deposit to cover possible non payments and damages after the rentee has left). And the last day I would cover the entire house walls and floors with the poo (even the ceiling, if I'm very inspired).
It is like that in the UK too. I rented from a private landlord for 15 years in the last 2 years the managing agent said I wasn't paying enough and would have people come in the house to look at it when I wasn't there to try to secure a tenant who would pay more. I ended up moving most of my stuff into storage and installing cameras inside the house as they would leave doors and windows open. In the end I moved to a different town where I could buy a house. My landlord has had to deal with flaky tenants who leave mid contract and do a lot of refurbishment work as they didn't look after the place as well as I did. His extra £2,500 per year doesn't even come close to covering it.
Im so glad this can't happen in my city in Winnipeg. Rent can only increase like 2-3% a year. We also have rental regulations you can go to to dispute things like this or even discrimination. Like landlords can't say, :welfare not accepted It's literally discrimination.
Housing needs to be regulated better. There is no reason for anyone to be homeless given the amount of housing covering the nation. Heck, there are even Fema houses ready to be filled, should the nation care to fix the problem of tent cities. I know in my area places are $2200 and up with just 2 rooms. You need a whole home full of rooms forget it! If your credit isn't way up to current standards, then you aren't going to be able to rent at all. Also...this practice of forcing you to pay 50$ a credit check for each person that will be living in the house needs to end. All credit checks go thru the same channels and are regulated...so if they are already in the database they should be able to be checked by a rental agency that receives a once a year fee to have an unlimited ability to credit check. They can then charge possible renters a measly $1.00 to credit check you, like a bank does for funds, and return it to you, should you pass their check and become a renter. Maybe if there were more laws like this, it would boost the economy to have people settling in an area quicker and having reasonable funds to be a consumer.
@@samdumaquis2033 We have plenty of socialism. The overregulation of housing zones, construction and permitting is the issue along with ridiculous fees and taxes. When people were able to claim land and build houses themselves this wasn't a thing. We don't need more government, we need less, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
Actually, this is illegal. The tenant, who has been current on her rent is entitled to a notice of a rent increase. She cannot be forced out under the excuse of "you no longer qualify." This is housing discrimination and unlawfully forced eviction. Depending upon how much she has in the bank, this would be the time to buy. But chances are that the rent she has been paying has prevented her from saving the basic 8% for a down payment. No apartments today are worth over $1000 per month. At those prices, buying makes better sense, and costs less depending upon how much you have for down payment.
This is why some communities are fighting against the building of apartments in single family home neighborhoods. If we allow them to use up all the land for rentals there’d be no place to build homes for future families.
Is it everywhere in the USA that bad...? 😬 In Germany your Apartment lease normally doesn't expire. (Except for student dorms or anything like that which needs qualification updates)

Thing is, she probably wasn't that much under "market value". I had someone buy my rental apt. They were 22 years old! They pulled that bs but made a mistake. They concocted a fair market value analysis on their own and gave it to me for review. It was fraud...and my previous job was literally tax and bank fraud analysis. What they did was say my apt was larger by 130 sq foot. Then compared by 2 bed, 1 bath apt in a multi family unit with 3 bed, 2 bath single family homes...all over the city, with full basements and garages (that don't count for sq foot but do for rental value. Most were also renovated, unlike my place i livef in for 11 yrs. I pointed out this illegal act along with others they were engaging in and she tried to evict me. 30 day notice. Joke was on her as retaliation eviction is illegal here. Plus my "expired lease" she inherited had an AUTO Renewal Clasue PLUS a 45 day notice for termination, not 30. I did this pro bono so a lot more hurdles to jump through (Oh, before dropping out of it, I had been in law school). I don't recommend anyone handling their own case as judges dislike it. Plus they engage in bias and illegal verdicts; landlords lawyer engaged in illegal exparte communication with the judge so i had to win in appeal. I countersued. I did end up moving...to a 3 bed, 2 bath apt 3 blocks away for less than she was asking for my old place. Also since water was now included it was cheaper than i was paying. I offered them a settlement. I get X in money and I walk away. Was easier for all. They took it. Mostly because the new rate violated a price gouging ban for the state and the kid landlord faced $25k in fines. Renting is BS. I only do it due to age and convince because handling my old home was a hassle now that my kids are adults.
So many people make fun of San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland. You know those liberal cities. Well at least we have Just Cause and rent can only be raised 3% of the consumer index.
Is this seriously legal in the US!? The idea of kicking a good renter out is so dystopian to me. Surely "we want to earn more from the next renter" can NEVER be a valid reason for eviction. That company would be laughed out of court and that renter would be set up in a replacement home for free over here. What the eff did I just watch!?
This literally happened to me too. And I came to find out the apartment that I lived in they put up for $200 more. I was like, I can pay $200 more and they still evicted me after I signed the new lease agreement offer. This happened in 2022 in Lakeway Texas at a place called Berkshire
We raised the rent and according to our statistics, you don’t qualify for this housing anymore You have to make between this much and this much to qualify for these apartments which you do not
Kinda sounds like British Columbia. The worst part about this is when you couldn't even try to apply for a mortgage that you'd end up paying less for than you do for rent because you can't save up a down payment which is because of how much you pay for rent😅
In this situation I would stop paying rent and live there as long as possible. Police cannot kick you out, eviction takes years sometimes. Save up all the money you would be spending on rent so when you can move, you have a lot saved up. Be a squatter. Get them where it hurts...
This is why I insisted that we rent from a landlord and not a corporation. Of the landlords we rented from only two deceived us when we met to see the house. All the others were as nice for the years we rented from them as they were while they were showing us the property. Two lied to our faces while showing us the properties. We learned to spot the liars and what things had to be in the contract from those two so it wasn’t all bad, just very frustrating. Right now I own, but in a property with a poorly run HOA. Looking to sale and move, another learning opportunity 😂.
Hate to tell you, landlords aren't any better. I knew my landlord and he went up on my rent by $200, I was having a hard time paying my original rent. I ended up moving out, he wouldn't fix anything and was basically a slumlord. After I moved out, he called me all upset because I didn't make any improvements to his property. That was never in the contract!!
Even though Oregon is so unaffordable for buying housing, it at least has protections for tenants over a year old and landlords need valid reason to not renew
This is real. I was one of the last tenants in my old apartment that was paying under market b/c my State only allowed a certain percentage increase each year. They practically celebrated in the office when I told them I wasn't going to renew.
Things get tough you might find that some of these people being kicked out decide that the thing they CAN do is just go postal. THEN it will become the problem of the ‘kicker’ and the ‘kickee’.
In defense of the landlord, I had a rental property with the rent being well under the market. We explained to the tentant that her rent would go up in 6 months with the new lease because the cost of running the property increased. We weren't getting rich on the increase, we just felt we shouldn't have to pay more out of pocket while her rent remained the same. She hadn't had a rent increase in 7 years. Then I got sick and couldn't work 2 jobs anymore so we decided to ask market price. We became the bloodsucking landlords who wanted more money for rent then she could afford. She made it out as if we were the bad evil people. We just wanted to prevent foreclosure and couldn't do it any other way. Now I get we are not a big corporate landlord but they are in business to make a profit. It sucks, I don't envy renters or even home owners who struggle. It's horrible .
Some things should NOT be part of the free market: air, water, food, healthcare, policing, and housing. What else should be regulated? What would be good regulations?
I'd say somethings shouldn't ONLY be left to the free market. Those who have the bank. Should have the option to go the private route. But most should be given access to a basic standard of living. You get this when you enlist in the military. You even get this in prison. But for whatever reason. This can't be done for Americans in general.
Soulless greedy crooks! 56 yrs old & have been consistently working 2 jobs 7 days a week just to get by for a long time. Sharing a rental with my son & his girlfriend because none of us can afford to live on our own. We all have jobs. All 3 of us were living in our cars in 2022. Sure I could go back to corporate America for work, but I refuse to sell my soul. I’d rather struggle than go back to that!
Someone brought up a good point. We Americans desire so much space, and want it all to ourselves. We want to be independent and live without others in our space. When you have so many wanting their own space and resources? Things get very competitive. This was not the case. When 2 parent household families was the norm. More people lived together. Sharing space and resources.
Thank goodness I had another place to live when my $700 rent jumped to $1100 in one month. I'm retired on Social Security. $1100 was a few dollars more than what I was getting from Social Security.
My mother moved into the converted garage behind my house because she couldn't live alone on social security. It's funny how the family scapegoat is useless until they find out he's the only one to make something of themselves
Its interesting to me that in videos like this, the big bad apartment company is assumed to also not be feeling the impact of the economy. Higher coats affect everyone and employers and owners have that amplified. So that $1000 below market value isnt increasing their profit necessarily…the video just makes that assumption out of ignorance of their costs. Its a very I am the main character viewpoint
I understand that some apartment lease will last for only a year, and if it's not a continuous lease (more than 12 months) then you have no choice but to leave. The fact she had a continuous lease, and they suddenly decided to stop is down right shady.
What sux is that they didnt even ask her first if she could afford the rent hike. Like if she said "Hey, we have to raise the rent now to 3,000 can you swing that, if she says yes, great, if she says no, then kick her out.
In the UK, I had a really rough Landlady, but we were on a rolling contract with a fixed price.... It didnt even go up during the pandemic.... Things be awful over there
The skit is bogus. The US is similar to the UK, it sounds like. The only exception is price can and does go up every year, but only once and it is restricted to significantly below the inflation rate.
While also doing pretty much nothing to increase affordable housing units anywhere in the US. This isn't a surprise. We knew this problem existed and was growing for MANY years.
Crack down on squatters, yes. But homelessness is a multi-faceted problem that can't be reduced to a "one size fits all" approach. WHY are people homeless? Many simply can't afford to be otherwise. Some are druggies, some are criminals, and many are mentally ill. Arresting them does nothing to solve the underlying problems.
@@silverhammer7779 Pretty sure this guy is being sarcastic. the real solution needs to be punishing greedy landlords and making Air BnBs illegal or at least much harder to allow.
@@Crystal_Dylan Why make Air BnBs illegal? The only reason I can see is because they're cutting into the hotel industry's revenues. Same with Uber and Lyft - the cab companies hate the competition.

I watched a short documentary telling me that these landlords indirectly coordinate rent through a third party company with software that “suggests” what they should charge for rent, rather than competing.
@@laughinggiraffe9176 they do actually. Its basically them seeing what they all price things at so obviously you look at the highest prices and undercut but also stay above the highest. Theres always people who will risk it and go higher so the market will always trend upward. And since housing is an absolute necessity to survival, people will pay what ever they can to survive and have housing. This is why housing should be a human right and landlords need price controlled
Wrong. The whole skit is false. The only people getting evicted are those who can't pay or create a lot of documented issues that are verified in some way. The government is useless though, so you got that right.
I don't understand the part about she doesn't qualify because of "something about last year". What does it mean to qualify for a flat? How does the system work?
