I love this show!! He said “you gonna come out this house” 😭😭😭 although I’ve been through this as a kid for sure. We’ve been without food many days, family running from eviction, now that I’m an adult I make sure to never follow in those steps, kids got plenty of food and our bills paid! So thankful!!!Poor things.
@@BluePhoenix2013 I make sure all my bills paid before I decide to go buy a mcdonald's cheeseburger..if I got $6 to buy a couple cheeseburgers I got $6 to put towards the bills.
@@BluePhoenix2013 I know what you mean. You prioritize and pay your expenses & pay for necessities before you spend money on entertainment...That's definitely grown folk behavior. 😉
My family was evicted when I was a kid and I was so embarrassed. We had nowhere to go and our stuff was on the street. We were on section 8, food stamps and my mom received social security but there wasn’t much money and we were always living hand to mouth. We were broke as hell and I remember living without water, lights, heat and a phone. I remember the neighbors allowing us to cook at their house so we could use their stove because we didn’t have electricity. We sometimes lived on sandwiches and anything that we could keep cool in an ice chest. I also remember catching rain in buckets because the landlord wouldn’t fix anything. My family went through it when I was a kid and one thing that stuck with me was when my mom told me to stay in school and to get an education. Both parents died when I was in high school and I was able to stay in section 8 housing until I could find a job. I graduated college and now make 6 figures but I never forget where I came from and don’t take anything for granted.
Us almost getting evicted was the beginning of the end of my marriage. I was working a job, going to school and driving Uber on the side to keep a roof over our heads while my ex was nonchalant about paying our rent and bills on time. He was blocking my blessings. Once he left, things significantly improved. Now I’m a homeowner.
@brinea7778. 😂 Yeah that’s my biggest fear too that I might get a non paying renter. I understand everyone has ups and downs but to avoid rent completely is a negative for me.
My husband randomly but continuously brings up moving back to our hometown (in another STATE) and renting our current home out and every time I'm just like UGGHHH NOOOO, DON'T YOU WATCH RU-vid?!?!?! 😂😂😂 i will NEVER ever seriously entertain that idea lol
I was diagnosed with cancer during COVID. I couldn’t work for 7 months as I was going through my chemotherapy and radiation treatments. My parents always taught me to save for a rainy day. Because of my parent’s guidance I was able to continue paying all my bills from my savings. I wasn’t even sure if I would survive but that’s not the bank’s or anyone’s fault - my debtees never even knew I was sick. If I could pay my bills while battling cancer/chemo these and many other strong healthy people have no excuse not to work. I thank my God I made it. I’m back to work and continue to save just as I was taught, no excuses! I watch this and realize how lucky I am to have been taught good life skills 😍
She said she got a court date notice, but didn't go to court. Then she is upset because she says she didn't get notice. It's truly sad that people believe if they ignore a situation it will magically disappear.
I just think she didn't know what she was doing and was going up against people who did know what they were doing. This was very sad and despite her input into this situation if a person doesn't feel some pity for the crying woman that person is not human.
I had this situation before where the leasing lady asked if I was served paperwork and she was shocked when I said no turns out they filed it at the wrong precinct and was dismissed because of it 😂.. The leasing lady was fired because we found out she wasn't turning in my payments
For any tenant that’s watching this. Yes I am a landlord and I want to let you know this. You have rights as a tenant too. If for any reason you are paying your landlord and the landlord is letting the house go and there are issues that’s effecting your living. Don’t just use that as a reason to stop paying rent. File something in court, so you can have your rent held in court until the issues are fix. If you choose to not do it the right way you can possibly get in this situation.
U know damn well these people just don’t pay lol they actually think they are owed to just sit free!!! They don’t pay rent for months and then say oh I didn’t get no paper lol girl u know u didny pay! What? Did u think they would just let YOU stay free
@@FosterFamilyy I believe they were saying that majority of tenants just don't pay or don't want to pay and then use excuses such as issues in the house and or claim that they never received any paper work about non-payment.
@@Erock1985xproblem is you can clearly see in the video and MANY videos on this channel that some of these properties are absolutely not being managed and had it been reported the courts could have decided in the tenants favor because the landlord does have rules they have to follow. I know it’s hard to believe but some landlords go out of their way to rent to high risk tenants because they know they can pocket the rent money and won’t be held accountable for the properties upkeep like they’re supposed to so the advice being given is very good. People think just because they’re poor they have to put up with whatever, not the case. Landlords have responsibilities just like the tenants do but in a lot of cases slumlords use low income tenants as a way to get around the law because they know the tenants have nowhere else to go and aren’t going to jeopardize their situation by speaking up like a tenant with decent credit would.
I was living in a my house for 2 years and paying rent on time not knowing the landlord had sold the house under me for a year I was paying him though zillow... they showed up one day to evict me saying I owe over 7000$ of course I wasn't going pay that so it lead to court all my info was in order I even printed out all bank statements. The judge throw it out and I got 6 months free rent to find another place. It's important to have your information together and go to that court date.
@@Only1KD i love watching these strong, independent, Black hose who don't need no man get evicted... 🤷🏿♂ Don't cry now, rich auntie...it's giving homeless 😂🤣😂
We been homeless growing up all my life I made it my business to my me an my kid's a house an I did for $800.50 an it's was a vacant building with four strong walls and a good roof family friends an ppl talked bad now I turned it into our home with 4 bedroom an 2 bathroom I don't owe nobody nothing but taxes once a year
My mother always tells me how she grew up hopping from one family member to the next without anyone wanting her. She worked really hard, and got us a nice comfortable life. Reading this made me tear up remembering how hard she worked for us. You're a good mother.
As a landlord…I appreciate watching these videos. I learn a lot from them. After 25 years of being a landlord in California, I’ve been blessed to never have had to evict anyone. Tenants can either make you or break you.
@@koop2.1.5I take my time in renting out to the right person or family. Since my rentals are all paid off. I am able to put my homes on the market by about 15% below market value. This tends to motivate the tenants to be pro active in maintaining the property and paying the rent on time.
That's how I did it when I rented. Let's say I hit $1000 for rent first, THEN I can "splurge" on extra stuff. I was so damn disciplined about it and it worked for me during COVId. Late 2021 when the courts were opened and a tenant cannot use COVID as an excuse due to the city stopping no evictions, almost half of my building were evicted. It comes down to lazy people, not the system.
My mother always told me always pay your rent no matter what then have fun. Thank you moms RIP I still have my same apartment for 28 years. I’m greatful
@@Daymeeuhn. immature comment. Apply the same logic to someone working for a company for 30 years and you saying" you could of use all those hours work towards having your own business". Some people don't want to own homes like some people don't want a business to own.
I'm not the most responsible with money. I'm 30, work 2 jobs. So I'm good at making money just not good managing it. These videos help me "grow up". Anyone can tell you to save, and it doesn't work to hear it. But to see what happens when you don't save, is what really helps you understand. Thank you for these videos.
I literally was thinking the same thing to myself.. I’m terrible at money management outside of my bills.. I definitely have a vice when it comes to spending. I’m thankful I have a stable income and make decent money.. but same, videos like this definitely slap me in the face and force me to at least think of change/growing up in that department
Sometimes it is a surprise to one or other of the partners. We did not use to have good eviction laws. My husband had not been paying rent and I did not know it. Came home from church one day and all our stuff was in the yard on a snowy nasty muddy day. All our clothes everything just laying in the mud. I wondered why my husband didn't get mad. Found out later. He was working a good job too there was no excuse. I had four babies but he didn't care he knew he was going to be leaving soon. I didn't know it. I was glad I was a good housekeeper at least they didn't have that to throw in my face
@@Justaskme781 why didn't you know your husband wasn't paying rent? The landlord called, a sheriff came out and a court notice was sent to you. Was your head in the sand?
As a landlord who's been thru evictions, I can tell you that 99% of us hate evictions & problems are resolvable except when tenant refused to work with us, thats when eviction is executed. No surprises. Most tenants behave differently off camera. Priority misplaced most times; spends money on car, excess food, gadgets, furniture, electronics etc Calling code enforcement to avoid paying rent etc. I have good tenants that I'm always willing to work with even if they're unable to pay rent for months. I have bad ones that I have no sympathy for whatsoever, business is business
As a landlord of 16 years, I stopped "working" with tenants when I realized THEIR definition of working with me was seeing how long they can pay as little as possible as infrequently as possible. It took me the first 2-3 years of letting properties to realize that. Afterward, I had a protocol for late rent. A late fee was assessed, and five days later, a "pay rent or quit" letter was sent out. Ten days after that, I mailed my eviction forms to the court, and it was out of my hands at that point.
I’m not sure you could pay me enough to do this man’s job. Part of his job is evicting but the big part is being a therapist or explaining to everyone they have to vacate the home. He’s probably heard every excuse imaginable. I’m shocked nobody has gotten physical with him. I admire how respectful he is.
I love how you always say “you don’t live here anymore” it basically shocks them into reality and let’s them know you ain’t about to listen to no bullshit.
I was a process server for years before becoming a private investigator. I must say you're as nice and as professional as it gets. More than those people realize considering the competition.
When i had to evict a single mom with small kids [ the agreement was for her to stay a year, rent free, but pay her utilities] 3 months before the year was up, i sent her a certified letter as a reminder of the expiration date coming up. As you would guess, she didn't want to leave! Soooooo, I got a truck, hired some guys, went into the home while she was gone, loaded up the truck, changed the locks, took her stuff to a storage unit, paid it for ONE month [put it in her name] and went on about my business 😂 Problem? Not at all!!! Haven't heard or seen ole girl... Court? PLSSSSS
She has to be because she's had to raise herself. You see this as quite common. Notice the black male as big as he is, just sitting in the back. This is the cultural problem in the black community.
This is a job I just couldn’t do. I know some or most of us know what’s it like to be evicted. Not a good feeling. My heart breaks for kids in these types of situations. You have to be responsible and accountable for your actions. Hope things get better
I’ve had my own house since I was 17 and thank God I’ve never had an eviction. I might didn’t have food or supplies but I had a roof! I finally got low income housing 4 years ago and I’ve been sooo blessed to have it bc it’s so hard out here! I’ve had people try to shame me for living in public housing but when I was paying 2200 a month I got no help from anyone and I made sure I paid my bills and rent. I’ll continue to stay in public housing until the government decides to stop inflating everything! I pay my 500 every month faithful
What kills me - they be having a whole man up in the house - usually they are not on the lease - who allowed their family to be placed in this situation.
@@cheapskatepanic , my Dad was "wholly" responsible financially for taking care of the family and supporting - My Mom made sure the babies was cared for and food on the table .
Lord I do feel so sad for this lady. It breaks my heart to see anyone getting evicted, regardless of the reason. But what I found strange is when she said “Something told me not to go to work,” what a dichotomy. When I am sick and don’t feel like going to work, something tells me to get up and get my rear in gear, because my rent, energy, car payment, insurance ,cable, food and gas bills are all due. 🤷🏽♀️😢
@Lisa Boglin I was thinking the exact same thing. Apparently she probably calls off work a lot. I'm like you, I'm going to work sick or not if I know I have bills to pay. When she got that notice she should've gone to court to try and work out some arrangements.
I giggled when I heard that fool make such a dumb statement as "something told me not to go to work today". I'll wager that she has a lot of those "call-in sick days" & that's probably why you're behind in your rent & can't catch up. Dah. Perhaps you'd do better to spend more time telling your ASS to go to work rather than the opposite. I can not feel any measure of sympathy for such people.
@@tracieross9928 Yes, I agree. She should have gone to court and tried to work out some kind of arrangements. I would have tried to work it out with the landlord before things progressed to that point.
She stated something told her not to go to work because she didn’t show up to that second court date and she is right she should of taken work off and handled her responsibilities and maybe she would know that she’s getting evicted.
I honestly think this man has the perfect attitude and temperament for this job. He is superb at handling himself and others in these situations 👏. LOVE THESE VIDEOS
It breaks my heart for the kid’s. The kid’s don’t have a choice in who they get as parents. An eviction is never a surprise. You have months and months to get it figured out. That’s on them if they figure it out with a payment or not.
For a Man to come to the door with a baby, see his woman or family member stuttering with an officer, to walk back in the room and leave her hanging?? Damm, God bless!
This gives a new meaning to “being put out in the cold” because that woman was evicted during the winter. What made me angry was that she didn’t think about the kids, and chose to not pay rent because no repairs were done. There were probably no complaints from her about the house until she fell behind in rent to have a reason not to pay. If she worked at a job for weeks, and didn’t receive a paycheck, then she would be the first person ready to fight. Well, landlords want to be paid too…think about that.
@@thepeopleschamp9076 You are correct. This is exactly what was done to my ancestors forced onto the Trail of Tears...at home, doing regular things, then they came and told the Aborigenes inhabitants to gather what they could because they were leaving "now"!
You said something right there. If she went to work and didn't get paid she'd be ready to fight. I'm a landlord, I have 2 full grown able bodied men that I have to evict. The entitlement that some of these people have is crazy, I work! I don't know why they don't feel they have to!!
I always pay my rent. It's the first thing I do every month. You can't live anywhere for free. What did the people think, the moratorium meant that they didn't have to pay any rent? And now they are behind in rent. You can't live anywhere for free
@@pipdragon8229 yup and that’s exactly how they get kicked out. It doesn’t matter if things aren’t fixed or not. The rent is due and if a person don’t like the situation. Try to move, moving to a new spot is hard these days from my experience but not impossible. My friend kept telling me. Not to pay rent and put it in escro. Because the landlord won’t fix anything. Told him no… I’ll just work on moving. I have two teens and cannot risk it. For them to be out on the streets or hotel hoping. When the place I reside at. Is quite stable and not hoping from Pilar to post.
Every circumstance is different but one thing that never changes when I watch these is that my heart breaks for the elderly, disabled, children, and animals that are displaced when evictions happen. Praying life improves & better choices are made in the future.
Damn. Took the day off, chillin' on your couch all comfortable watching TV and ahti, and this happens.... right near Christmas. I used to rent in a big city for over 37 years and know the feeling of potential eviction. I got LUCKY. Hustled up (legally) money the day of eviction - went to the Court. The lucky part of it was, the court officer noticed my relative. They knew one another from 55 years ago as kids. Dude was real cool with the judge. Took the paperwork up to him. Short story? Had the money, took it down to the Rental Office...and dodged a bullet. I own and pay mortgage now in the country... and from that day on almost 10 years ago, I do MY BEST to never to be in that situation again. That's a Fd up feeling. Dang..
Lord, i have never experienced this and i couldnt imagine how a CHILD feels when this happens. It hurts my soul when children are involoved and have no choice in the matyet
I feel for this kids I grew up this way and it's horrible and traumatic. It's gives me so much anxiety now that I have to have 6 months rent payments saved and if it gets lower than that I panic! I never want to put my kids through that. I always pay my rent first! Rent water lights and then everything else follows.
I’ve heard “ I didn’t get a notice” a thousand times. Even if that was true; they’d have to think that the landlord just happen to not want his rent for a year.
After watching several of these, I've concluded that no one is ever served notices, never receive court dates, never hear from their landlord, and think that never paying rent is okay!!! This guy handles these situations so well. His calm demeanor certainly helps in keeping most of these situations from becoming more aggressive. Be responsible and this will not happen to you!!
love watching these videos. something about watching someone get all bent out of shape, crying like a baby and frustrated about stuff, just kinda scratches an itch
As an adult you do know if you did or did NOT pay the rent.... This whole nobody "let me know" bizarre story is pure stupidity. Don't want to get evicted? Pay your doggone rent ON TIME!!! Period....💯💯💯💯💯
The crazy thing is, you don't even have to pay it on time to not get evicted. Just pay them people as soon as you can! I've worked with private landlords and in a multifamily apartment community as Leasing Associate. People will work with you if they see you trying. It's the folks that don't even try that get evicted like this. Just zombies really.
I had a situation where I paid my rent but my landlord say I didn't and I had to pay a late fee which I knew I wasn't late on I didn't argue with him or anything we ended up going to court and I had my documents proving I paid and I won turn out it was a error on his part but I moved out 1 month after that and I'm sueing him so I have to go to court on the 5th I can't wait till he show up or if he don't that's even better 💯
Most people today are a paycheck from being evicted, a rude awakening is about to hit a lot of people in the face, get your house in order if you are not the 1 present, you better get busy and get prepared for what's coming.
I’ve noticed one thing in common with ALL these people. Everyone in the household is always home, usually sleeping or just woken up on a weekday in the late morning. Perhaps this is the root of their problems.
All the people in that house certainly were capable of working and they ignored more than one notice to get to this point…. Still its sickening to watch people put on the street.
My mother in law has rental properties and let me tell you, she had to make mortgage payment for 13 months to be able to get tenant out. She spent $12,000 to repair it. She was only charging $900 a month for this lady who had 2 teenagers and a big dog, which they wasn’t suppose to have, for a 3 bedroom 2 bath, carport and big nice yard. Even provided an old washer and dryer for her. Let me tell you that was not a profitable year for her. If she takes lick after lick like that, she is gonna be broke.
I have been evicted before. You always get a notice. Luckily, I found a place to go prior to leaving. We also cleaned the place from top to bottom before we left. I own a home now. You have to make decisions with your life that will benefit your future. Stop making excuses.
Penn I recently came across your channel. Your professionalism and calmness under these circumstances obviously makes you the best in your business. Thank you for sharing your daily routines
Just a lifelong tip: TRUST BUT VERIFY. When it becomes legal, if it isn’t in writing, it didn’t happen. Also, every county courthouse has the ability to track the status of every case online, so the whole “I didn’t get no notice” is not an issue anymore. I’ve had a situation where the paperwork was filed w/the court, and I didn’t get the mail until 3 wks later……
Always pay your rent. All the people who didn't pay their rent during Covid, didn't realize it was a setup. I don't understand how a person thinks they can live in someone's house free.
Facts 💯. My family told me not to pay because of a state mandate. Nope I paid those people because I'd rather pay my $1000 monthly then to wait and they want $12,000 or more at one time.
this is such and educational eye opening channel. Its hard to watch but I hope each of these families find a stable home after this. Also, the guy seems really supportive and communicative which helps in this difficult time.
All it takes is effort and not being selfish. Just get you a job and go to work on time every day and you won't have issues. These knuckle heads would rather buy an SRT and stunt at the club instead of paying their bills. Then will blame racism on why they fail.
This is why it's so important for people to really read the lease when renting. Almost all leases have a waive notice of default clause in them, meaning they waive the right to be notified if they don't pay their rent. It make sense, because no one should have to remind you to pay your rent. My heart goes out to anyone who goes through this, especially if they have children. I think I would just go ahead and get out on my own before I let the court force me out.
I live in low income housing. I love my home, I keep it so clean and extremely organised with my rent paid. I clean even on my worst day out of respect for myself, my children and the opportunity to have a home. These people have lost their hope and self respect. There's no gratitude for their home. It's very sad.
Just wanted to say I appreciate how professional and humble you are in these high stress situations. And I wish the best to this family and this lady. These times are hard for everyone. I never had to live through these kinds of things. My parents always had rent/mortgage paid and good meals on the table. They paid bills at the last minute, but they got paid😂 but it was a struggle for them. That said, hard times can fall on anyone. Y'all take care of yourselves and be good to each other.
My parents lived rent free in a house for 7 years. No one knocked on the door but the house flooded and my parents expected them to rebuild for them, of course they didn’t and tore house down but I witnessed how ungrateful my mother was when she started ripping off cabinet doors and kicking holes in bedroom doors. I was so embarrassed I apologized to the kind people who graciously let them stay that long and I had to leave as I’d seen this my whole life 😞
To me my parents were squatters for 7 years I loved them dearly but they weren’t good with finances.. or my mom wasn’t.. I felt bad for the home owners they were sweet people..
I watch this all day, n be talking mess too, but I make sure I say a prayer for each one, well the ones I want to say one for, cuz we don't know what these people been thru or have been going through, it can be any one of us, so be humble
Do explain? First off..they're most likely renting from a slumlord because they don't have the money to rent a better maintained home..unfortunately if they had more money THEY WOULD MOVE..plus this landlord doesn't give two shits to maintain the home and if the tenants could afford maintenance on their own THEYD OWN THIER OWN HOME 🙄
It is possible they have no where to go and cannot afford to move. I live in NYC where I pay $1330 a month for rent in a mice infested building. I had to harass the management for them to close up the holes in my apartment. I hardly cook in the kitchen even after the issue was supposedly fixed because Im scared of seeing another mice--if they are still in here. I would love to leave this place. Most of my neighbors sit at home all day and several of them are convicted felons. But it will cost me upward of $6,000 to move to another place, meanwhile I don't know what problem I could potentially be walking into after the fact. And it's not even that I don't have the money because I do. I just see no point in wasting all that money when at the end of the day I'll just be renting another apartment.
Cause it’s not always easy to find a place? I lived in a hotel for nearly two years because we just couldn’t find a place we qualified for or could afford.
I just love ❤ how smooth he is with letting people know he ain't for no bs… this is finna happen… I gotta job to do… all while not belittling them and having a since of compassion. 💯
I just don't get how anyone can expect to stay somewhere where they are not paying rent. I had to do some evictions years ago when I had rental property. The sob stories they tried to go into court with were ridiculous. When I came over to collect rent, they looked at me like I was crazy. Good thing we have cell phones/ cameras today to record tenants and how they act out of court.
True but when did evictions start happening in December though? December evictions or BG&E (Baltimore gas and electric) turnoffs don't happen in Maryland during the winter months
@@DontH8DaPlayaH8DaGame evictions happen all times of the year im not sure why anyone would think that a homeowner would not have the right to evict someone for not following a contract
I've worked in this field for many moons and I don't feel bad because over 90% of people facing eviction put themselves in that position. They don't save and don't spend money wisely, don't want to work or are picky with the jobs they take, don't plan for their future, don't look for better opportunities and think the world owes them something, and have all the children they please from broken homes.
Know it's a old comment but I'll ask anyway. You ever have people who were genuine? Like someone who was trying to do right, but just couldn't get a break? A family that you actually felt like they should be given a break?
Evictions, foreclosures, repossessions are all the direct result of one not paying. If you cannot pay, move out, make other arrangements, move on with your life. Get real.
You have such patience with these people. I know people fall on hard times and I have had to make some hard choices over the years. But it all comes down to choices. People choose to do what they do. I commend you on the way you present the issues and yourself. Good content
All I could think of was call your church. Can't even fathom what it must feel like to know that you have to go right now. You must be in denial that this day was never going to come. Can't help but feeling bad for this family regardless.
We called the church and no dice. Now we did luck out when moving into the apt and Catholic Charities helped a lot along with a place that we met thru our hotel.
I got a court date,, I went to court they no show. Judge said go home wait for another court date, 30 dys later padlocked out on a Friday, given 4 hours to pack up 7 yrs 3 bedrooms of belongings only during the week no weekend. Landlord was not paying the mortgage, ruined me for 7yrs. Eviction still on my credit to this day. Real Stories.
OMG bring back memories when I was a child!! I was always house to house as a child and I promise myself that if I ever have kids STABILITY is my first priority ❤️ I'm 45 now my kids are grown but I made sure they didn't go through the b.s I had to go through as a child💯
My mom did the same, stability was #1. Same home, same town, same school system, made sure I went to a good college.. Never late on a bill or rent in her life.
