Do we even know that was the case? Yagot this guy telling you. Do you know? Not enough info. Now. I wanna eat crow. I do but im seeing so much of this stuff. Gotta have facts and i dont think we got it here andIm the guy (no pun) who is annoyed with the gaming of the system. These guys have got explaining to do. Not just for their channel but for the industry.. One thing stands out.... TWO YEARS- NO
How does someone get away with 2 year’s of zero rent? This guy seems really nice to be a landlord. These kind’s of people make it so hard for good people to rent these houses. Just remember their is good people out here.
Yes, this is why it's very hard to rent a house and very expensive. The homeowner is taking on a huge risk to rent it to anybody who is not going to treat it like their own home that they're paying for.
Tons of broken promises and lies that took him for a ride plus covid policies that prevented evictions or delayed evictions. If he stopped paying when he hurt his back he was probably promising that the payout he would get would more than pay for the backed up rent. I had a tenant like that when I first started being a landlord like 11 years ago. They were good tenants and paid for 1.5 years. Then suddenly they stopped and she claimed she was getting a payout from a lawsuit. She and her husband financed two cars worth $75,000 each and they kept promising that her payout would cover all the rent. Well 3 months later of broken promises I noticed that their cars were gone and they were at a dealership's lot. I finally filed for eviction and took the loss and got rid of them. Never again. Now days its 2 weeks of nonpayment and I start the eviction. I don't take any payment unless it's a full payment plus court filing fees to stop the eviction.
First time home owner here and I am sooo glad I can do whatever I want on my own land and not worry about rules but my own and policing took me till I was 38 39 to start this
Biden made it quite easy to not work & receive benefits & not to pay as expected A monthly mortgage payment could be tacked on to the end of your loan (you would pay latter) & for awhile landlords could not evict
There is no way my landlord would let me stay for 2 years and no rent. It wouldn't matter what happened to me. Pay rent or leave. How do these people get away with two years,!??
@@wotawanancy3249 it all depends on where u live. Yonkers, NY. is not landlord friendly at all. NY state is not property owner friendly. This landlord knows what he's up against & is willing to operate within the system because of section 8. He's gonna get at least 75-90% of his rent from the state. For this tenant he needed the judgement from the court to recover some of his losses from the state.
@@wotawanancy3249 Eviction moratorium prevents the landlord from eviction, some districts extended the moratorium and Democratic run areas tend to be pro tenant anti landlord and put roadblocks to prevent timely evictions.
Landlord friend told me that the eviction process is so backed up that lately he's been paying ex-renters to leave even more if they do it clean and peacefully. I think he said 5 grand was the most he gave
I've heard of this happening before to others. Where landlords would actually pay the tenants to leave and it would work when money was shown, all in cash
I think it's called something like "turn in keys for cash" We rented out our home for only 6 months. It was a complete disaster. We didn't have to pay for them to leave Thank goodness- but they left about $7,000 worth of damage that they never paid for. They also broke their lease 6 months early. You assume a huge risk by renting to anybody. Even family
Kudos to you Sir. Ya gotta pay your bills. I was in the same situation as you were and let me tell you it's a real headache dealing with deadbeat tenants. They don't understand nor care that we pay property taxes, insurance on the property and maintenance. Basically we the landlord are paying for them to live in our house. Let me add I'm NO longer in the rental business and I don't miss it one bit. Love your videos. Charlotte from Hixson Tn. 👍👍
I believe 2 years of not paying rent was enough time for the tenant to start paying rent or work something out with the landlord. Nothing is free, and we all have to work and pay our way in this life. I don't believe the tenant was treated badly.
You were in the right by booting him out. He was probably banking his money for the last two years. He had a lot of things because he wasn’t paying any rent. Squatters are criminals and they need to change these laws and arrest these people.
Why on earth do you FEEL BAD for him? When someone is taking advantage of you for that long, they have NO respect for you so you should have NO FEELINGS for them.
You asked what we would want to see going forward……EVERYTHING!!! Show us all the steps you take on film of course, please. Looking forward to this makeover/takeover!😊
living in denial, just hoping it wouldn't really happen. I saw a similar story of a woman that had been in her mansion for decades, but could no longer afford to live there. The nice people that bought it gave her months to pack up and leave. She never packed a thing and kept thinking she could just stay there forever. Eventually came down to them having to force her out and pretty much throw her stuff away. She had no way to take it and no place to take it to. Very sad
Everybody in this state needs to play hardball and get these elected officials out of office. If they don’t change these rules two years of living rent free it’s just absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable. Change the laws now.
I totally don’t understand why folks quit paying rent during the whole covid situation…… If I would’ve lost my job during covid I would’ve found another job!!!! I would’ve continued paying my bills even if it meant eating and buying less. The LAST thing I would do is stop paying bills bc that only accumulates to the point these things happen to you. I’m in no way wealthy(I work TWO jobs) but I bought myself a small lot and bought a 5th wheel in a rural area for almost nothing!!! I am currently selling my property and going to buy with cash a fixer up house. I never want to be in a situation where I find myself where I can’t pay my bills….. it’s so foolish to not pay your bills…… it’s also stupid to live beyond your means……
I'm exactly the same way. Bills get paid before anything. I no longer have a mortgage but I put my property tax money away first. I grew up poor... still am I also work 2 jobs. However we didn't know we were poor. We had nothing brand name but it never crossed my mind that I could come home from school with our things in the sidewalk! We were clean, had full tummies and had what we needed. Everytime I flipped a switch the light came on and Everytime I washed my hands water came out of the tap. I don't know how people can sleep at night knowing this is going to happen. Not might but IS. Most especially with children! I may not have had name brand sneakers but my parents never made adult problems ours. Good luck with your new home! I bought 10 acres in the mountains of northern VT 30 yrs ago. Went from an RV to a double wide. Things slowed down when my exhusband left and I had 4 very young kiddos but I'm hoping to start building a small home in the next year. Want to do it without borrowing. Take care.
The worst part is that many of them hd the money to pay but chose the short term benefit. Now once they are evicted the enormous bill for back rent will be on their credit and the eviction is also recorded. They will rent again.
My husband and I both got laid off during Covid, we had some savings but with 3 kids (at the time now we have 4) it can go quick. I started babysitting in my home immediately and with daycares closed I had 4 additional kiddos immediately. I cleaned houses too and my husband did odd jobs here and there just to ensure we didn’t drain our savings and get behind on bills.
I am glad that a new landlord got his property back from the tenant who was very selfish. I felt bad for a previous landlord who had to sell his property because of this tenant. Good luck for a new tenant. I am so happy to get you back your property.
It's very common for people to buy a second property and rent out the first but they don't know how to protect themselves from bad tenants so they tend to get taken advantage of and then sell the house to recoup costs and because they don't want to be landlords anymore due to the bad experience. Every time I list a property for rent I always have 1-3 applicants with evictions in their record from 1-10 years ago. They all have their excuses and they all offer to pay more rent or a higher deposit but never rent to them. I have a neighbor who did and they ended up not paying rent for 6 months before they got evicted.
This person started squatting during covid a lot of courts got backed up really badly. I'm in Idaho and we can evict in 15-45 days normally. But during covid the courts were backed up so it took 3-6 months. Most landlords around here had to do cash for keys and didn't put new tenants in the property until courts were back on track so around 2021 or early 2022.
All I can say is that I own my house and have some money in the bank. If I ever decided to own investment property I would pay cash leave building vacant, wait for appreciation then dump it. No tenants
I, fortunately, live in one of the only two states in the country that will throw you in jail if you get behind on rent! It’s a long process, but it can be done. We’ve actually had the law go in out of fear of a death in the home because it smelled that bad. As a landlord, it take’s someone not willing to pay for someone else. My sympathies went by the wayside after hubby and I started going in the hole due to the costs of remodeling homes and not getting rent. I’m a hard a$$ now.
Don't feel bad for that criminal... stealing rent for 2 years should be a crime punishable by prison. The politicians that enabled this nonsense belong in prison too.
I have done a couple thousand evictions. No real issues. They knew I did what I said so most were gone. I treated them with respect and they left quietly when I showed up. Did it for free for elderly. Filing court etc. felt so sorry for them.
In January 2021 Texas Supreme Court ruled that eviction moratorium is unconstitutional. Later the US Supreme Court says the same. Until following month on January 2021 my apartment complex got massively eviction. Lot of furniture and stuff was piled at dumpsters. According to management they abandoned it! $$$$
It's definitely possible because the foreclosed house that we bought, The prior owners were able to stay here for almost 3 years without paying a mortgage before the sheriffs and authorities were finally able to get them out.
Had he attempted at anytime to pay rent at all even in half amounts he would have stood a chance at them working with government funds to pay back rent and move. Doing nothing but staying and taking medicine won't solve the rent issue. Taxes and mortgage has to be paid on time and the rent covers that. My landlord follows all the rules and he is strict on the lease but it protects my rights too. Pay rent simply pay that above all. 😊
Sorry to hear the ex-tenant went down the rabbit hole of addiction it’s tough. But, I take mine as prescribed have a great spine specialist and worked until the pain was just too much. Hopefully the new owner makes some money off this flip and the ex-tenant is motivated now to get clean and turn his life back around. It can happen to anyone.
When I was a kid my grandfather had several rent houses he managed . A man & wife moved in to one of the houses & payed rent for 6 months . The wife had a baby & they stoped paying rent . They stayed for nine more years & did not pay a dime in rent .Every time she had a baby she would be pregnant within two months & could not be evicted . They had ten children while they lived there . She had to have a historectomy after the last baby . Four months later they were evicted .They had to be evicted 3 times , because at night they would move back in . The judge finally put the husband in jail for disobeying a court order .
My partner has some of his nieces living in one of his (and his mother's) rent houses, and they haven't paid rent in over three years. He hired an attorney to help get them out, and suddenly the unemployed nieces magically came up with money for a lawyer too. They can't pay rent, but can hire an attorney.... Low & behold, their attorney of choice is friends with the eviction judge, who called for a postponement for a year to allow the nieces to stay for absolutely NO REASON. My BF's attorney demanded to know what the reason for postponement was, and the corrupt judge wouldn't say, and instead had his bailiff kick him (and my BF) out of the court room. The nieces didn't even show up for the hearing, because they knew ahead of time what he decided. This happened down in a Texas/Mexico border town, so go figure. The bad people always end up winning down there and no amount of whining will do any good. You can't get proof of any of corruption, but you know damn good & well, it's there. So frustrating!
It's not always smart to hire real estate managers I had apartment building and I lived out-of-state when I came back to look at my apartment there were needles the lady that was the real estate manager worked for a rehab center and was putting people in there that were drug addicts
@@teresajeffrey8870 You have to pay management company every month! And who is the owner of my apartment now? He’s the owner from Hong Kong working in his office since fall 2014. He’s nice but cheapskate. City and courts has warned him many times for violation.
Where are you? I've been watching here where I am west of Boise. The houses are staying on the market for sure, but they're still selling (in months rather than days like not so long ago). The closing price, however isn't so far off the listing (when it's reasonable, of course). The most I've seen is $20k less. Am I just such a noob that that doesn't seem like a lot? I honestly can't tell what's REALLY happening when I read articles or watch vlogs it sounds apocalyptic. What does "dropping like a stone" look like where you are? I know it depends on the market, so just looking for another anecdotal account, but from someone who's actually seeing huge reductions.
@Love Bubble it depends on where you trying to live. My wife watch houses as a hobby (zillowist) major cities and places with scenic views are still high. I found interesting that land prices has went up but new construction has gone down some
Got a question about the belongings on the lawn. I know each state is different, but where you are once that 24 hours out on the lawn/sidewalk is up can you just remove the property how you see fit?? dumpster, dump, sell it, etc?? I ask because here once the tenants' property is out here you can't just toss it after 24 hours. There's a short process.
yes here in Texas after 24 hours it's considered abandoned property and the plaintiffs can trash whatever the tenant doesn't take with them. I'm a Former Texas Constable with 27 years experience.
Just a thought.....after 24 hours the scavengers are going to pick through a lot of it as well. So it's going to really look like garbage after all that picking through. And that's certainly the point where I would call waste management...
I was surprised that house was in nearby Katy. A hoarding mess spend this and that. It turned so tacky. It seems like that they does not have any savings. Same in Houston. I have seen at several apartments their belongings was left outside for several days. In Texas Supreme Court ruled in January 2021 says that eviction moratorium is unconstitutional. US Supreme Court says the same and Center for Disease Control has no right to tell everybody to stay in for free. Texas eviction started on February 2021. At my apartment complex 6 dumpsters was piled up so high. According to management. They have abandoned it and it made crews to clean it out. Not fair to them. And last September rent have increased. I got $150. We have choices. Renew the lease or move. Last fall and now lot of tenants have moved out. And, I stayed since everywhere is getting too expensive.
I am a health inspector. Don’t just focus on rent payments. Also consider the place. If u start seeing the place look trashy with junk outside don’t wait. Evict, IT WILL get worse. A house shouldn’t stand out as messy, if it does get them out. Even if u get paid the neighbors will complain and u as the owner, not the tenant, are on the hook with code enforcement/health dept. violations.
Knew some folks that were in the eviction process for over a year, after being behind on their rent for a year before that. "Can't pay, this is going on.....that is going on...." In the meantime, they bought a second vehicle, a big screen tv and one heck of a stereo system, she quit her job because she's pregnant, husband is having friends over for steak and beer cook-outs every week-end, they've got money for everything but rent. They kept dragging it out, till the sheriff finally showed up to set their stuff on the curb, and they're both in tears and laying in the grass.......oh woe is me........asking the neighbors to let them stay in their basement, their poor baby has nowhere to go, think about the baby, how am I supposed to take care of my baby......Cop looks at her says, "Don't you worry about that baby, Honey, if you can't or won't take care of her, we can put her in foster care till you get back on your feet." That shut 'em up real quick. He spent the night sitting on the curb guarding their stuff, while she ran around trying to get someplace to move. They ended up leaving town and moving to another state where his brother lived. Found out later brother had got both of them jobs, paid the first, last and deposit on another house, and got their utilities turned on. And six months later, they were in the same boat again. You can't help some people.
It shouldn't be this hard and take this much time to get someone out of your own property. The laws need to change to protect landlords because they mainly protect tenants right now
Why did someone not pay rent for 2 years. I've been on my own since I was 14 now almost 60 always pay my bills. Now I'm on disability & had to put husband in Nursing Home last year live on $948 in Colorado Springs Colorado.
The nonsense about not paying rent during the Covid is lunacy. My son and I rented apartments and we ensured that the rent was paid because I hate being at the behest of others for help. We are in the second apartment since the pandemic. Our lease will end shortly. We will be moving into newly built properties like the ones we have moved out of. What type of life would we be living at the mercy of others just to keep a few dollars in our pockets.
People really milked the Covid non-eviction thing for all it was worth. I used to live at my parents' home in Katy, Texas in a pretty nice neighborhood.
Do these people not realize the Section 8 is a privilege, not a right. Let them live in a country that doesn't have any social service provisions. The problem in this country is that people think it's their right to have these social extension. No, it's a privilege that can be taken away, rejected, denied and guess what, they or their kids do not have be considered if they live in another non compliant country.
If buying a property with an existing tenant, you can stipulate that the sale is contigent upon the current owners evict said tenant. If this is not possible for whatever reason, walk away as fast as your 2 feet can carry you!
@@richardpuckett8127 They'll probably just sell the guy's stuff to a liquidation house and use that money toward costs and the renovation fund. The faster this flipper gets the work done on the house, the faster he can flip it for at least $100K more, in that section of Katy. He's looking to take on investors to help him buy more houses to renovate and film for social media in hopes of getting picked up by HGTV, he's not going to backtrack and stay embroiled in a crappy situation that ended in his favor, anyway.
@@lorig4871 as a landlord. Part of why you do a background and credit check. Is so they make a certain amount of income. So if you have to evict or have damages? You take them to court and get a judgment. And then file the judgment, and garnish their paycheck
Meanwhile I’m a great tenant pay rent two weeks in advance, but where I live private landlords believe all black people are the same so I can’t get a house! But I can’t get mad because I do understand but everyone is not the same! Sad part is I had one go back 20 years and lie and tell me that every landlord I had told him I was a terrible tenant! 😮😮😮😮 I was like who??? Me?? Cause I knew he was lying but he thought I was white on paper but when he seen me in person he put on an act! Knowing he was not going to rent to me. It’s okay though!! I wish nothing bad on him , but God sees all. I know I make great money I know what I can afford! I know that my credit it definitely giving period. But that’s my story. This why I hate being put into a stereotype!
soory bu the law is wrong, removing the property is ok, but it has to be on the street OFF YOUR PROPERTY, IF ITS STILL ON YOUR PROPERTY , THE SQUATTER HAS THE RIGHT TO MOVE RIGHT BACK IN? AS IF YOU DID NOTHING TIO HIM. i went thru this b/s , i got a 40cu.yd trash container , out a and loaded it up, parked on the street against the curb,. this makes it HIS PROBLEM NOW, !!, , ALSO IF THERE IS A CAR ON THE PROPERTY , THE SQAUTTER OR TENANT, IT GETS TOWED OFF THE PROPERTY AS WELL. LATER AFTER ITS ALL OVER, I SUE THEM FOR MOVING HELP, MOSTLY 6MEN, THE TRASH CONTAINER AND THE COST OF THE DUMP, AFTER 24 HRS. CHANGE LOCKS, AND I POSTED A ARMED GUARD ONCE TOO,
Is this the same landlord that was raising the rent more than double what a single mom was already paying? She had lived there for 10 years and was never behind on her rent. Just asking.
I would have liked to know what happened after the 24 hrs of his stuff being put out on the front lawn. Did he take it all? If not, what did you do with the stuff left behind? What kind of shape was the house in after you got ALL of that stuff out of there and got a good look at everything?
I've seen people on other sites defending not paying rent. Two thoughts here: First, not paying rent is squatting. Second, if you're not paying the rent on property you don't own, who's paying the bills?
I’m ok with helping people and there are sad stories out there but THIS is not one of them!!! F that guy, if it’s my house, GTFO. wtf do people think doing this, it’s like stealing your house!!
Clickbait Definition: Headline: “WORST EVICTION EVER…” Reality: “it wasn’t that bad..” Just put that in the headline. No need to clickbait. Keep up the good work though.
Beautiful home, now wirth 270k worth the fight....disgusting how someone can not pay rent for 2 years and have the ability to appeal and live longer for free
