The WORST TENANT I'VE EVER HAD (EVICTION) 

yeah that's what I immediately thought.

Rented my units from Craigslist with no problems; I've learned a few things. 1) credit score. 2) no co-signers. 3) do month to month. 4) Lastly, don't take those who are desperate and willing to throw money at you right away.

well also remember this was like 2011/2012 and craigslist was kind of the best way to rent out your houses.

This is basically how graham made all his money lol

My husband - sell it on Craiglist/put it on Craiglist...I AM LIKE HELLLLLLLLL NOOOOOOOO!!! Are you crazy??? HAHA

😂😂😂😂😂

This is fantastic

LMAO

@@SIGNALFREQ I laughed so hard here.

his speech may have been 100, but his delusion was 0

Yeah this video might have netted Graham like $5-7 per thousand views due to the educational content, as well as high amount of ads due to a long ass video, and everyone watching the full thing. So you basically have him net $2-4 thousand dollars from this. So the total educational experience would cost him 4 grand in reality. Maybe in the future, if he doesn't fear the tenant could do anything, he could sue the tenant with the proof of damage for the entirety of lost rent.

And years latter he made even more millions by selling it as a script for a mini series on HBO!!! 《:0D

Arrad if he gets lucky a large chunk could be from a country with cpm’s like $16

Arrad I say it’s not risk aggravating and risking your life for it

I hope so

He probably doesn't want to get involved with these people again, once was already plenty psychologically damaging. So while that would be a good choice, I don't really blame him for not following through with it.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Maybe I’m just used to dealing with bad ppl, but this tenant isn’t even the worst I’ve heard of. I mean, he grew weed and was late on his rent, but at least he didn’t assault Graham or destroy the house on purpose right? (To be fair I’m only on minute 18, I haven’t heard it all yet lol)

OH DAYUM nvm I heard Til the end and this guy was CRAZY!!!!!

Courts have ruled that bad recommendations are a form of defimation and can be sued for

good catch LMAOOOO

💀😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

hahahahahagaha

Lol

Ha ha ha!!!

Thanks so much!!

And, I watched till the end.

i agree

I agree

He repeats himself way too much.

It clicked for me the moment he found out he had a credit score in the 500s. Someone like that, you say "I'm sorry" no matter how respectable they look ,

@@starvetodeath123 ^ SO MUCH THIS. I mean I get it, I've been through hard times and all that but charity and investment are two different expense lines.

Missed that, unfortunately.

Benzene I kind of understand that, but I understand first hand that credit scores don’t always reflect a bad tenant. My credit score was 530 because I hadn’t established any credit

Benzene This sucks because I have a credit score in the 500’s due to the most irresponsible mother who only cared about shopping name brand and designer and couldn’t maintain her bills. My mother screwed her own credit and then moved on to mine. When I was 18 I hadn’t yet figured out how important credit was so she of course forced me to open up a credit union and bank account under my name for her. She also put numerous bills such as phone, internet and cable bills under my name. I now have terrible credit because of her. I am the most responsible young adult. I pay all of my bills on time and have 20k in savings due to my own discipline. My mother taught me what not to do. All throughout my childhood I had to deal with being evicted, living without electricity or water due to being shut off for non payment. Moving constantly due to evictions and having to leave behind school friends, all while my mom had the most expensive clothes, sun glasses, purses, jewelry, shoes etc. all funded by her drug dealer husband. I’m 22 years old and when I decided to get a car, move out, apply for credit cards etc. it was the most miserable experience because to lenders I seem like an irresponsible, untrustworthy person when in reality I couldn’t be any more opposite. The one experience that really took a toll on me was finding my own place to finally escape my moms irresponsibility. My current place I was originally denied for due to my credit and I literally cried on the phone to the landlord because I knew I could afford it and knew I would NEVER pay rent late or disrespect the property as I am a clean freak. I started crying because I couldn’t believe that my moms actions were continuously affecting my life. Thankfully the landlord took a chance with me and I’m now 9 months into my lease with not one missed or late payment. I understand that landlords have to be careful when dealing with people who have credit scores in the 500’s but I wish they would take it on a case by case basis and learn everyone’s story.

ya he kinda messed that up but obviously he meant as long as he got the rent before the end of the month didnt really make a difference

He meant what he meant , they spoke and had an agreement, so as long as he pays on time. You can look at things in many angles really in all aspects of life. Stay positive stay optimistic 👌🏼

Yeah, but he wasn't paying on time. That was the first problem.

Michael Contreras, you have never been a landlord. It is so obvious that you could care less about the stress and all the wasted time and loss of money the landlord went through.

@@Norstar8 it was a joke dont get so worked up

I laughed throughout this whole video🤕😂😂

@@thehoneycollectionco1732 or stop being so sensitive, it’s not even racist it’s an educated guess

I think as far as "on time" he means within the month.

I thought that was weird too... How can you pay the rent on time if every month you are late???....

Dayton Wintle lol

Rent is due on the 1st. But legally you have until the 5. 5 days grace without late fees... Some times it's the 4th..that's usually in apartments. This is a way of saying you have generous time so if they take you to court..they can still say you paid late. If after the 5th.

He just meant he was paying every month without falling behind like owing more than 2 months rent

😂😂😂

🤣🤣😂

@The Tiger Guy It's California... even before it was fully legalized smoking weed or possessing more than an ounce wasn't a crime, so if the police got a call about a home smelling like weed they probably wouldn't do anything.

CONtractor..

Goat K They would if you had mentioned the guns and pitbulls.

The people are real. The cases are real. The rulings are final. *This is Judge Judy*

Don't judge me, judge Judy

😂😂😂

Yes! Title should have been The WORSE TENANT I'VE EVER HAD (GUNS AND ROSES)

Good one! Growing 'roses' in the garage, LoL.

Loooooololo 😂

I used to love my landlord but then i had to.......

😂😂😂

"LARGE" guns don't mean anything. A .25 ACP is something you don't want to get shot with. Nine .25s and you're dead. A .38 or 9mm will tear you up. Let the management company handle it. They have connections with the police and local government. Had some squatters once. Turned out they had felony warrants (no surprise!). Cops shot up the building, shot the windows out. Badguys shinnied down the power conduits on the back side and escaped.

I mean pets are more likely to cause damage to the property than a pile o' guns on the kitchen counter. Buuuttt there's a question on the 4473 form that asks if you are a user of Marijuana so yeah he straight up was committing a federal firearms felony in the house.

The guns are the only thing I wouldn't have a problem with. Dogs destroy flooring and walls. Smoking destroys EVERYTHING.

@@algrayson8965 honestly .25 acp isn't bad and isn't great probably one of the worse self defense calibers out there, and 9 mm is the most common caliber out there for most pistols. I would say any bullet can kill, but if were talking about a penetration caliber for a pistol .45 acp or .50 cal would do some serious dmg. This statement doesn't matter has nothing to do with the tenant just giving my knowledge on calibers.

It depends what actually has happened. It's called a civil debt in most scenarios for the rental payments and damage. All the threats can be dealt with criminal charges but the landlords don't won't to bother with court and possible repercussions.

Exactly like I get people being down on luck and having a tough time but anytime it’s more than 2-3 months then it’s a problem

california, that's why

@@chrism3784 it's pretty much every state except Arkansas. Not that that's a model state, but it's the best for landlords

if you have nothing to watch I recommend this vid: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-k_KQoGPEy2k.html It's quite similar to this one but even more dramatic

@@pretendcampus5410 thanks for the recommendation!

Drive safe man!

I also am a trucker and found this guy while on the road as RU-vid autoplayed videos. This guy is fantastic for long haul! Learned so much

I'm not sure what the trespassing laws are in California.

NovaNuke13 he wasn’t trespassing, as he was authorized by the landlord to do repairs on the property, who I’m going to guess notified the tenant

NovaNuke13 even if he was trespassing you don’t have the right to just shoot someone because they’re simply on your property lmao

@@RumbleRish I think in some states you can.

@@RumbleRish Even in cali you can defend your home, as a renter or landlord. So when the person who has the legal right to sleep in the home says to leave, you better leave.

Happy Fox What the hell are they supposed to do for shelter if they're blacklisted?

Keith Pickering I’m sure there are people who rent to people blacklisted, but they probably have to pay more per month, a higher security deposit and probably have to have regular checkups to the property.

So the sad thing is that you CAN be blacklisted in Australia (even if its your housemates that don't pay/do the damage etc) but there's a stringent set of rules that must be followed for blacklisting. It changes depending on the state, but they have to provide you with the name of the company that's controlling the list (it's a private listing, not state/government held) and what you can do about it prior to the listing. There's also a lot of information on what can and can't result in a listing, but you have to know to look for it and have the confidence to back yourself up. I would imagine a lot (obviously not all) of lower income folk get stung with this. And I know for a fact that it gets used as a threatening tool by crappy real estates such as Ray White. You can also apply through the courts to have the listing removed if it's unfair or unreasonable. So yes, the lists do exist but for the educated and empowered individual, if you're being listed unfairly it can be removed with a little effort. However the majority of people who do get listed either don't understand or don't realise the implications of the listing and will sometimes not fight it if they have an unreasonable or unfair landlord because they don't know their rights. Long and the short of it is that it exists... But it gets abused far too often and the education and experience level of the person/s being listed will dictate whether or not a spiteful agent will list you for spurious reasons.

So what happens to people when they're on that list and they need to find a place to live? They just go homeless?

It's probably similar to people with eviction records. When someone is a nightmare tenant or doesn't pay rent, landlords shouldn't be obligated to rent to them just because the person needs somewhere to live. There are definitely people who will still rent to them, but they're going to have to work harder to find those places and probably pay more. It's a consequence of their actions.

Any updates?

It is good that he is giving us his story so no one else has to go through that.

Maybe the best advice is to be nice to nice people. The moment people turned out to be not nice you need to put your game face on and throw them out as fast as possible to avoid further damages to the property.

I was just think of saying that haha

Underrated comment.

Daniel Bustos so clever 💯👏

that was good haha

Daniel Bustos lol

But he was only 23 at the time lol our brains don't get all the development util we hit 25. And it was his first property ever. He was still smarter than me at that age.

Weed is cheap

I guess y’all didn’t watch the whole video. He was growing it in garage. One good plant with the right terps can stink like crazy

Landon Taylor Thats not true weed sticks to carpet horribly

Hold up! Wait a minute! Somethin ain't right!

Haha I should’ve done that!

That was my thought. She asked for a reference, not specifically a positive reference. I would have said yes just to try to protect that landlord.

I do the same when someone asks me to be a reference. Sure I'll be a reference, I'm just gonna be honest.

For references you want two and three landlords back. The current one will lie to you in hopes they move out of his property into yours. Further back, they want revenge, will tell you the truth.

😂🤣

Glad you enjoyed it!

gotta love the internet.

Heh, right?

I know the ROI was amazing!

Jeez I didn't realize it was 40 minutes hahah. Good video

Lmao

@R d what do you think Graham could have done differently after the plumber contractor told graham about the guns and smell of weed and his concern that this might not be a good tenant?

😂

At least he didn't say he was growing poppies.

He plays the drum in the guns and roses band

@@bakersmileyface LMAO i see what you did there

how dare you talk about my flowers like that.

Ameliah I literally laughed out loud!!! Omg 😩😂😭

Just pay the godamn rent I dont care what you do.

Yeah, Graham is way too nice!!!

I don’t get it

Graham need a wife from Compton fastttt

Sarah he could went sued. But It might not have been worth it.

It is considered a personal issue by the police so they don't get involved. So the only way would be to sue the previous tenant which is ultimately a waste of time because if they didn't have the money to afford rent/repair, they aren't gonna have the money to repay court costs and what ever fines they have to pay.

Illwitit247@instagram yea. Dont slack on your homework of any characters background. & references esp!

Because there isn't. The government won't do anything about it yet if you take matters into your own hands you better believe that they will get involved at that point

And brandishing a weapon and threatening!

Absolutely. better than anything on TV LOL

Holy crapppp I didn’t even notice either holy cheese man

*loser

Very true. For me, the properties now only take about 1-2 hours per month max to manage...but once I got great tenants. Going through this was definitely an eye opener.

Exactly, and my post was definitely not a criticism of you because you actually have experience and skin in the game. My frustration comes from people that are keyboard investors. They know everything when behind a keyboard, but haven't done anything in real life! Great stuff as always Graham

WhiteBoard Finance yes it's really sickening! You really had to force yourself to think you should treat it as a business. If you think you and your families work your ass off and saving pennies and nickles everyday so that someone can live comfortably in your house for free it'll drive you nuts!!

WhiteBoard Finance, been there, done that.

Four weeks is only one month. What the hell. 🤣

@@urriso7538 Yeah, I could not pay my rent for 2 months once when I was younger because my employer did not pay me. Not always a matter of not willing to pay. But I did communicate this to my landlord. Once I got payed I immediately payed my landlord all that was due.

@@soyouknow8207 yeah but what I am saying is to rent weekly is stupid.

@@urriso7538 what context is that for? Nobody mentioned weekly rent

Yikes

This was driving me crazy. What does he think "on time" means?!

Because of the security deposit Graham can always use that to pay the mortgage for one month. So if the guy is 3 weeks late on rent, the mortgage can be paid by using the security deposit & then the security deposit will be replenished later that same month when the guy finally pays his rent. This process could repeat every month & as long as he's never more than 30 days late on the rent, it won't cause Graham to be late on his mortgage payment. I assume that this is what he meant, but I did think it sounded strange for him to keep saying it in the way that he did.

Usually landlords mortgage is due a week or 2 after the rent is due (usually for this exact reason). So its on time for graham but not for the tenant.

Pink Not true. I’ve had great tenants. I still talk to one couple. I’ve never had to review a tenant or be a reference for one. That might’ve been more of a red flag. As soon as I feel like I need a reference for someone I’m out.

Or the former landlord gave them an over the top glowing reference so they’d find a place fast and get the hell out of his property

@@Alyssa320 I had tenants from hell. I wouldn't do that to any landlord

Second red flag: brought his own credit report. Third red flag: literally everything else.

Remy11 How do you spot a bad/horrible tenant then?

Exactly! Thanks for sharing, Graham. I watched this video until the very end.

Yup. always facebook stalk potentials.

Haha, you made my day 😄

I think he might have meant before the mortgage is late.

Yeah, I kept thinking the same thing.

Paid according to the promise

That's what I thought the minute he negotiated for paying a week later than originally agreed on the original lease.

There was definitely some sugar , or at least sweet and low.

Wtf.

Rosy Pal so when you first go to view a place you shouldn’t bring cash and offer a deposit?

I always wonder why people even bother filling out an application. Looking for a sucker I guess.

Meth ruins lives, i went there. It was hell.

A bank transfer aside from rapidness, protects you as a tenant because there is an extract, and its harder for the other party (in this case the landlord, but in almost every transaction, its better to have a record of it) to claim they didn't receive the funds.

You’re literally the dream tenant for every landlord there is honestly.

People like his tenant ruin it for everybody else

Solution is to not think the best of people.

It really is sad.

OK at the time the guy pulled the shotgun out, why was a police report not immediately filed and then why was the tenant not immediately given a restraining order for felony brandishing and threats? They should’ve gone to the cops FYI.

Also why didn’t Graham file a police report for the text threats?

Lol a lot of people play farmville in their garages.

Bruh i would have asked him for weed

Don't do that! My tenant would not cut the grass so I loaned him a push mower. Somebody broke into the shed and stole my mower. So I called the cops and did a police report. Turns out that the cops found my mower at the pawn shop. To make a long story short the cops arrested my tenant who claimed he did not know anything about my mower. To make a long story short you do not want to provoke a tenant with jail until you get them out of the place or they will turn it to rubble.

He still not look at his stand next to mr beast 😭. He just the smallest guy when u say that I expect you to be 5’8-6’

Not necessarily the attorney could be paid in drugs

Typically you don’t need an attorney when going through eviction proceedings. It’s pretty short and sweet. Source: Been through a few myself (as a landlord). Also: I watched till the very end.

What you need is a street savvy bodyguard type who enjoys handling these types of situations.

And go down to the courthouse is faster

probably meant in that month

Usually paying "on time" with rental mostly means that they pay during the actual month. So technically its not late when it comes to calculating taxes and so on later on. 3 weeks late must mean that the guy paid on 21st of the month instead of the 1st. Which is still sucky, but not really an issue if he does that consistently. If someone doesn't pay at all that's a problem.

Exactly every time he said that I was like but he is not paying on time!!!!

It most likely was an error in phrasing. He probably meant as long as he paid the rent.

@@101xXxSlackerxXx101 He said it so many times tho. lol

Holyshit! That's infuriating.

Property managers are the biggest joke. I keep rent just under market and it''s still more than if I used a lackluster prop mgr. They COST you more than just fees.

@@manp1039 Definitely understand that landlords could take advantage of a tenant. Now, out of the two people who is more interested in taking care of the property, the landlord. Out of the two people who can careless, the tenant. Enough said. This country definitely backs the tenant more.

@@floryder8385 That is not true at all. This country is way more pro landlord than pro tenant because landlords are typically better organized and have more resources. At the city or county level, places can be pro-tenant.

I think the eviction is the safer route. Landing someone in jail can make them headhunt you later. You don't want to attract that kind of rage. Just evict them and let them be on their way. It's that whole, "snitches get stitches" thing.

@@manictiger I feel like both routes are bad haha. That's a horrible situation to be in

Yes! Then follow through with an eviction while he's in jail!

Or better yet, when the eviction was sent. Shotty in the guy's face, cops respond immediately and maybe the problem gets dealt with permanently. Because this sort of person isn't likely to shrug and let it go regardless of how it's finished. Not everyone is civilized and thinking that's the case is foolish. Though, the smartest thing to do would have been to rent in a manner that will lock such people out of consideration to begin with. Craigslist? _Really?_

We’re they month to month? How did that go?

She also didn’t see the appraiser finding the grow-op in the garage.

she'll do better getting a real job...

Gawd, I was thinking the same thing. Haha

I personally found that adorable...

Sorry, wrong person.

@Chris way to go, making it about race.

Chris this has nothing to do with race. Anyone who doesn’t have anyone to pay for them are expected to do it alone. That’s kind of obvious.

@Chris hahaaha chris, since grandma raised you she knew she couldn't trust you to pay back. loser. ps/ me: white, bought my first house at 22 y.o. form money i earned painting houses, had to pay 20% down and interest rates was 11% then. and you are still a loser.

Yup lol
