Brian B how do you. There are alot SHADY ASS SLUM LORDS out here. Like there's alot of SHADY TENANTS. I believe the monies was paid up to the end of year.
Something is not right with this story. The tenants claim they pay a lease, but the landlord doesn't seem to know that they're there. Who were they paying the rent to?
The tenants not only claimed to have a lease, they produced the lease as well as a local church provided record of rent payments to a property management company.
@@Throughthelurkingglass No worries. A lot of individual landlords are selling their properties to corporations like Blackstone. Let's see if they are better landlords
@@Alexandra-xt1vf the tenants, not the landlords. I'm a believer in pay to play, pay your rent or gtfoh, I've been tossed out on my ass early and figured it out, now it's everyone else's turn. Aka, don't be a little b1tch.
The rent has nothing to do with the owner. Get out. If the tenants have been paying rent they can ask the property management company where the money was going.
I'm aLL for geTTing deadbeaTs ouT, buT they were paid up. Yes woman &kids were there "iLLegaLLy" buT they were cLearLy good peopLe. Doing thaT to kids during pandic?wiTh!renT PAID. I hope LegaL aid sues thaT guy. He is counTing on them moving on.
Yes and those who took advantage just made it harder for all renters. I represent landlords selling their properties every day bc they are done with tenants. These houses are being bought by corporations and buyers who will live there. Rental market will get even more difficult.
@@kennethkestner9608 You don't know what those people are like. People screw landlords all the time , don't pay and leave the placed trashed. Need to find out all the facts first before deciding either way.
@@DebbiesSanctuary49 I haTe whaT has happened2LandLords, miss debbers, buT if the pLace is fine and those peopLe r paid up INCLUDING LandLord, then pandemic kicks in favoring tenanTs. Yes m'aam
If the landlord did not know there were renters in there, the renters were being scammed. Too bad for them but they don't deserve to stay. Go after the scammer, not the landlord, it's not his fault!
I suspect the woman with the 2 kids rented the room from the tenant and not the landlord. Besides, a 60 day notice was given that the house was to be demolished, this was no surprise. They all just decided to sit on their lazy butts and stare out the windows till the power went off.
@@crand20033 the landlord is lying!! He could've drafted a new lease to "start" getting paid. The man wanted to take advantage of the market to rebuild an charge higher rent.
@@atgc24 Supreme Court says the eviction moratorium is unconstitutional, besides, I've seem plenty of people evicted, it just wasn't for non-payment of rent.
The landlord should have told them a head of time..The landlord was wrong this time. Dint stick up for the landlord when the landlord was in the wrong.
Governments have stopped evections when rent isn't paid. Why haven't they protected the owners when they can't get the rent but the bank can take over the property?
Cutting off power isn’t a problem because the landlord paid for the electric. The renters just have to call up the power and turn it on and they will pay the bill. All they need is mail showing their name and address they live there.
This what happened went money is given to the renter landlord so he got the money for sure .I hope the renter are ok ..creepy landlord legal these are people come to the stated and fast government go give them money free of cause.and this problem keep on and on
Money was likely given to a management company. And the guy owning it now probably bought it from the guy who rented it out. Messy no matter how you look at it.
From what it looks like is someone was posing as a property manager, making phony leases, charging rent that gets paid to him/her ...all the while the property owner is in the dark. The so called tenants may also have forged docs themselves & technically been squatters.
Why should the landlord be paying for the electricity? He has every right to cut off the power. The last thing a land lord wants to do is to evict tenants. It is really simple pay your rent! There should be no sympathy for unproductive people who are not paying their rent. All the Sympathy should be for the productive landlords that are busting their asses putting roofs over peoples heads that are not getting paid.
Was a landlord in DC. Bought the house I grew up in from my parents and spent $45K renovating it. The tenants paid rent for a year then started paying sometimes and then not at all. Trashed my house and DC would not let me kick them out. I took them to court and watch judges stall me out and run me through the ringer before the tenants agreed to leave. They only left because the power was turned off due to non payment. They gave my house keys to a homeless person who left literal crap all over my house as well. DC judge said I should be thankful that I got my house back at all. $50k more in renovations and I had to sell my family home because I could no longer afford to keep it and did not want to risk another tenant trashing it. I have absolutely no sympathy for these deadbeats. Not your property then get out!!!
At what point is enough enough. When government suspends taxes then you can dictate to the landlords. They are going belly up . They still have to pay repairs and thousands in taxes and insurance . Tens of thousands in mortgages.
@@mcleanblades9234 I’m not sure if you’re suggesting there wasn’t a property management company or what exactly. Around 2:08 they mention the rent was paid to the same management company that was on the lease.
Their not paying their rent. The church is so ..... maybe the church stopped paying their rent. They look healthy enough to look for and then to find a job
Why was a church paying 5hei4 rent ? Does anyone know if they actually paid rent ? The landlord gave them 60 day notice to move....stop the entitlement attitude. No one OWES you free housing.
Oh it's not always the tenant. I'm in q situation now where landlord has been paid throughout the entire pandemic. Problem he did not supply my husband and I or our 2 kids age 3 and almost 1 with heat. One year it was so cold with a newborn you could see ur breath. He's mad I won't make his repairs trying to get news channel 5 to broadcast this to the world. And come see the holes in the ceiling and terrible mold under the carpets from the leaking roof he repaired but did no more. I did not cause the things that need repaired. He's cheap simple as that....
@@daphnietudor2953 There should be an organization wither in the government or private or one or more of both in you area where they help people with land lord tenant issues. You should speak with them. Sometimes heat is only required when certain temperatures are reached.
@@tvviewer4500 I'm in tn. We've had ice already. Last year in February when I bought heater instead of payed rent our power was out while I was in special care nursery with my newborn. Kids died. He is required to pay qnd buy heat and keep it at 65 at least. He also is only evicting bc of repairs. I've got holes in my roof. Holes in the carpet where it edited from the roof leaking... there is a 70 year old man under this roof. It's sad my kids are 1 and 3. He is a slum lord. Landlords also cannot shut off essential services as in the landlord tenant act I can recite the law for ya.
I live at the Redbury Hotel in Manhattan. My landlord turned off my air-conditioning/ heating unit to force me to move. I made them turn it back on by video taping them downstairs in the lobby. Turning off utilities is a common bulling tactic that landlords use to force people out; it didn't work on me! Know your rights.
Did you not pay attention? They were paid up through the end of the year and the church even had records of rental assistance payments made to the property manager.
@@solaralloyd6157 it was April the AFTER they were paid through this new "owner" likely bought the property for the land and planned to demo the house he was told that the old owners (actual landlords) would not renew the lease and remove the tenants but it did not happen hence why he is well within his rights to discontinue the power
The majority of the problems are that tenants take advantage of the moratorium by not paying rent, if you pay rent, 99.9%of the landlord welcome for you to stay. This is an obscure case.
If he was the owner that took care funds that is likely true what if someone else owned it and sold it after taking the funds and stated no tenants live here
Good job to that landlord. Shameless free loaders need to work and pay their fkn rent or live on the congress or white house. Stop occupying our homes.
The electric company wouldn’t cut power if the paying user didn’t cancel it. They didn’t pay the utilities and they didn’t pay rent cuz they weren’t supposed to be there.
@JESUS IS LORD333.AMEN. JESUS333.AMEN. Watch it again, yes they said they were paid up to end of year but also said this happened 2 days before Christmas. Last time I checked Christmas is damn close to the new year. So are they asking for a 7 or 8 day reimbursement?
The tenant was given 60 days notice the house was to be demolished but did absolutely nothing in those 2 months to prepare to move. This was no surprise. The woman with 2 kids rented a room that I suspect from the tenant not the landlord, that's why the landlord didn't know she was living there. People rent properties then sublease them to others for a profit but those subleases are with a tenant not the landlord and are not valid. This may have been what happened.
It sounds like they got scammed by the property manager. In reality this is not the owner's fault, to his knowledge no one was living in the property. He's the owner, he has the right to sell his property.
Sounds more like she was scammed by someone renting a building they didnt own or control. Real owner simply continued on with his proper business. Not his fault unless you can prove he was getting paid by the people she rented from.
By law he was supose to wait until their lease was up. He didnt won't to so his rich as called his rich friends at the light company. The rich looking out for the rich. Ive seen this multiple times. She can still sue him for every thing lost and for relocating and he knows it.
@@Dee-qo7gh Actually no ... an owner can evict a tenant for any reason regardless of lease .. so long as it is within the lease agreement or not in violation of a state or federal law. I'm going to suggest that this owner purchased this home and the previous owner was supposed to have the tenants move out. The previous owner did not, the management company (if there was one) failed to follow up and the new owner moved ahead with his original plans. They literally had two months to get out and did not.
He gave his tenant 60 days notice. He seems to have not known that his tenant was subletting to these people. @Dee-qo7gh he didn't have a lease with these people. They claim to have signed it with a property manager, not with the owner. Only the owner can agree to lease out his property.
People who became unemployed due to lockdown were getting an unemployment, why didn't they pay rent what are they spending money on? Plus most of them were getting $200 per person in food stamps? I don't know about all areas but in my area we had a lot of rent assistances from the city as they got huge funds, but of course you had to be qualified and prove that you lost a job/income due to lockdown and not just because you never worked in your life and someone will pay your rent, when you have a car payments you know if you don't pay the car is going to be repossessed , what the people were spending their unemployment money on?
So wait a minute -- the reporter says they saw a lease agreement -- but it's with someone else, not the owner? It was with someone described as a "property manager"? And why didn't they show the lease agreement on-camera and name this property manager?
Something is awfully wrong with this story, but of course the news reporters goal is to act as if the landlords are terrible people. Landlords should not have to go into debt because a tenant will not or cannot pay their rent.
Seems to me like these renters were paying the "manager". The "manager" was collecting their payments and not paying the owner of the home to live there, he's the one who screwed over the other renters who probably shouldn't have been there in the first place. I don't blame the home owner.
Yes. You sign a lease with the owner, not with the property manager. I think the landlord's tenant was subletting and calling himself the property manager.
Here's the deal,legal or illegal tenents,the law is 30 day notice,legal notice through the system. They are probably squartters,which means yes a landlord can do that. Some of the story missing.
Power company here would never allow that if she had a contract. Electrical Inspectors can't even pull someones meter. Something doesn't add up here. Because the power wasn't turned back on, and the house was demolished... tells me the tenant was not accurate, or the reporter needed to finish working the story, or the landlord will get a nastygram from her attorney/court having jurisdiction. Easy to check,
Nashville is "refacing Nashville", and North Nashville has been on the map for sometime now. Tear down an old rental house and make way for a modern one that you can lease for no less than 1,400 a month. I have a feeling, these tenants and or landlord were getting scammed by a so-called "property management company".
If you are a renter and you don't pay your rent. You are no longer a renter. Get your A_s out of the house. When you don't pay your rent, your time is up.
Save yr contacts & Receipts . I was renting from a man in California who lived in California never seen the house he was renting out in texas. But gave my rent money to someone in texas that was helping him out on Collecting rent money from houses he rents out.
I'm sorry I agree with the landlords, there are some tenants that genuinely need assistance and time to get money together but the MAJORITY of people I believe as soon as they said you cannot be evicted for non payment people just STOPED PAYING RENT and held alot of landlords and their property hostage and those are the people that need to GET OUT.
A lot of things don't add up here. Why were two apparently separate and unrelated families living in what appears to be a single family house? This would definitely be a violation of local zoning laws and/or the certificate of occupancy for the property. If the landlord was owed rent and the utilities were in his name he may have had the right to shut off the power depending on the law in that state and locality. He definitely had the right to tear down the house to build a new one as long has he had the proper permits from the local authorities.
How could they be living there the whole time without paying for utilities? Why would the landlord pay that for the tenants? Maybe things are done differently in that state?
When I was in college I shared a duplex with a lady and her son that I didn’t know. We had separate sleeping quarters and bathrooms and shared the kitchen and living room. I’m thinking the owner rented the full house but they paid for their separate rooms.
