As soon as i got my lump-some of my unemployment I surprised my landlord with my back rent. They were so happy and it felt good to pay, even tho it was hard to just let that money go. I feel stress free and I can sleep well at night. PAY YALL RENT AND STOP GOING ON VACATIONS. KARMA WILL GET YOU. PROMISE!
In Texas the Moratorium is up...Landlords can evict these type of Leeches off their properties!!!!! If you go inside you'll find $300 Nike Sneakers &Louise Vuitton purses🙄 but they can't pay rent
Many of us who were made to leave never had a lease, and never rented. Many of us paid every month and never stopped paying. We need to be conscious of exactly what situation people were in before they had to leave their apts or houses as we're not all in the same boat. I owned my home for 17 years, paid every month, and still had to leave and myself and my family right now are inside a hotel. No Nikes or large screen tv's involved, no iphones or other devices.....there's thousands of us living in hotels who did not have a landlord, and are not covered under any moratorium in any state.
@@Anglynn74 Your post is confusing. You say you didn't rent or have a lease or a landlord. Unless you owned your house or were living free with family or friends, then it isn't clear about the arrangements of your occupancy and how or why you were forced out.
@@blakeberlin6295 I owned my home for 17 years. I paid my mortgage every month. In April 2016 my bank suddenly said they refused to accept the next mortgage payment, they claimed the amount on the check was all of a sudden incorrect. The next few weeks were spent going back & forth with the bank trying to find out what the problem was. The bank finally turned around and said we were right and they were wrong, the amount was in fact correct, but they now said there was an issue with my escrow. I said there shouldn't be ANY issue with escrow, we then for 1 week went back & forth trying to fix this & find out what the problem was. Next thing we know we receive paperwork in the mail that the bank was taking us to court to try to foreclose due to non payment, they claimed we did not pay them for 6 whole months, when in fact we did. I requested the bank's accounting ledger of our payments. For days I went over how they applied all of our payments & I wound up shocked to find out for a period of six months up to the day they refused to accept our pymt, they were taking our monthly payments and applying them to the year prior, in the wrong amount, which was causing current months to appear unpaid. They then took these seemingly unpaid months and ran to the courthouse & basically said see they aren't paying us we don't have a payment recorded. I filed an "answer" explaining what they did along with the checks I sent to the bank every month showing the bank endorsed and cashed those payments. For 4 long years we were in court with this bank (Affinity Federal Credit Union out of Basking Ridge, NJ) and in the end, the judge sided with the bank, regardless of my proof of monthly payments. I never defaulted, never paid late, never stopped paying. In the Fall of 2019, the bank sent us a letter stating that the foreclosure auction for Feb 7th 2020 would be "postponed", I used that time to see what else I could do to prevent this from happening because of the fraud the bank did. On February 7th 2020 they sold the house anyway at the courthouse, I had no idea until the next day a woman showed up at my door claiming she bought the house. I took the bank to court, fought it in court for months, judge decided it was a "typo" on the paperwork. The investor who bought my house filed an eviction on us in April 2020 within the first few weeks of lockdown. The eviction was not executed, but when the sheriff served us with the paperwork for it while wearing a mask he apologized to me, I felt bad for him I told him it was okay. We had to get rid of almost everything in our home, 17 years of living there and 21 years of marriage worth of stuff was sold or thrown out. We could not find an apt because of what the bank did it affected our credit. We left on March 31st 2021 & went to a hotel where we are now, however our last day here is tomorrow and we don't have anywhere to go after that. It's myself my husband and our son. I'm 47, my husband is employed but has a disability, he's 54, we have no idea what will happen tomorrow, and the temp here has been in the 30s. I am still trying to find something. We were not covered under the moratorium since we did not rent, no apt complex wants to know you if there's a foreclosure and even if you explain what happened to them most do not believe that story of what happened, they feel I'm leaving something out,. Local assistance programs are barely there - section 8 closed 3 years ago, and public housing here is only for those 62 & up. My son is on the spectrum and I've spent most of my time seeking apts and helping him with his cyber school, if it wasn't for him I'm not so sure I'd still be around dealing with all of this. I am worried that I'm losing my optimism and that tomorrow when we won't have shelter that I'll give up so I have to keep thinking about my son & how he needs me. But yes many of us out there paid every month, yet lost our homes and we aren't covered under anything, the fear of covid every day is there as well, my husband has breathing problems as he's only breathing on one lung & he's been waiting to get vaccinated but it's only been for the elderly over 55 here & being out there in our car & on the street is terrifying. Never in my life did I think this would happen, we were always middle class, frugal, no cable tv, one car household, made our payments every month like we were supposed to, I never thought I'd be in this position. My husband and I decided to do a will in case we get sick out here so that our son will be taken care of. Landlords here only want those with good credit & require us to be making 4x the rental price every month in our jobs. there's virtually nothing out there for us, we're on the street tomorrow and my husband goes to work every day as an HR Supervisor and his co-workers have no idea we're homeless. I just wish there was some kind of help or assistance but there isn't in our state, it's only for renters and any shelters here are either filled or separate families. hopefully something will come along in the next few hours.
Yeah I'm sure all of these people out of work from their minimum wage jobs are using all of that $1400 a person to buy Audi's and Lexuses and shit, idiot
@@orions221 exactly, government are just helping them get free place to live, how is that possible for tenants like these to pay back after the stupid moratorium. And it is impossible for court to finishing processing these cases.
@Rookie Dump Stop grouping every single landlord as a greedy person. Just making excuses to justify your own shortcomings. Sounds like you're a loser yourself. Oh, I'm not a landlord. I just get both amused and annoyed when I hear grumbling from people like you.
@@orions221 That's 1400 per houshold member. I had a tenant that has a household of 6 and tried to tell me that they couldn't pay rent cause of COVID. However, they had money to get two new vehicles, 80 inch TVs and smoke marijuana everyday. On top of that they were destroying my property. People are enjoying living for free, they are not going to pay back the rents that they owe. People are being led down a path where the government will provide UBI and let yall smoke marijuana(SOMA) all day while they control your every move. Brave New World being played out right before us.

and a lame excuse for landlords to jack prices up to unseen levels. there's a lot of prospective tenants out there who've owned a house before, they know what goes into it and they're not buying the bullshit excuses.
@@whiteknuckle9115 sorry, I'm no landlord's bitch, I owned my house for 17 yrs, I did what was needed to save the house, they on the other hand want a handout from the public instead of doing the right thing, not happening.
Landlords paying mortgages taxes repairs and sometimes utilities. Left with gutted buildings after they leave. Disgusting. Tenants getting Stimulus, unemployment foods stamps medical education etc. Some didn't even lose their jobs. Unbelievable.
homeowners insurance should have been called. their mortgage company should have been called a year ago. their hardship is no one else's responsibility. if the tenant destroyed the property then take them to court after calling the bank. they need to be responsible, crying and asking for sympathy while they have escrow & a govt backed loan is no one else's problem but theirs regardless of how it got that way. Landlords are no different than the average homeowner, banks don't give a shit if they're an investor or landlord, they want their payments & will foreclose in 3-5 yrs if it's not received and/or the owner never contacted the bank with a foreseeable hardship. This falls on them. Period.
It's time for a national renter registry. Just like a credit score, a landlord should be able to document if you screw them over with unpaid bills or damage to a property. None of these people should be able to rent again. Let them live on the streets like the animals they are.
I hope you read my comment from 2 days ago. A lot of "people" are going to get away with it. Not paying rent for months and months, maybe even more than a year, they will get evicted NO PROBLEM!!! With all the money they've saved from not paying rent all they have to is find a place that'll take 3 or 6 month rent in advance. Sure they'll have an eviction on their record but who cares, they've already got a new place to live! Meanwhile struggling people who are busting their butts to keep up on rent feel like suckers.
I have paid my rent every month it has been late but I still pay before the end of the month,and because I have been late.my landlord is selling the house I have lived in for 14 years and he says now I have to pay late fee if he sells I don't know what I'm going to do he always said if he ever sold it we could buy it, but I don't have any credit ,I have tried to get a loan but nope,I feel so hopeless .I don't want to move .I wish I could get a loan to buy the house.
Agreed,,renters are quick to blame landlords. Tenants that trash places and dont pay rent cause rent to go up for good tenants Being involved in the business a short time, my opinions have changed drastically
I have a disability and still worked from home and paid all rent, but my landlord wants to sell her property and there are no good places to rent in my area. If I move my husband and I may not be able to find work!? This pandemic has caused a lot of hardships
I’m so happy my tenants haven’t back stabbed me ! They still pay me on time every month ! I work really hard to find the right people to rent my property you have to really be selective of who you rent to !
@@vlp4469 yup !!! I had some people offer me more rent and more security deposit all that but I didn't pick them because I just got a bad vibe from them ! I think I made a good choice
I'm not going to raise the rent this next year for the tenants which played nice...for those that played naughty a recononing is coming-max increases and/or evictions. (BTW-Mgt companies share naughty lists. Good luck finding a place for the naughty ones or locating a place at the quality you are interested in.)
For people who REFUSE to pay rent, but can.....Shame on you! It's crazy how some ppl are so selfish & lazy they won't even apply for FREE rental assistance!!!! At least pay what you can if not GET OUT!
My friend unloaded 2 different rental properties in Hartford, Connecticut. The first one late 2019 and the second around January 2020 just before the pandemic. He was so relieved to be free from this nightmare. You have to feel real sorry for these property owners and what they are dealing with.
If they have a govt backed loan and/or escrow, I don't feel sorry for them at all. Especially if they refused to contact their bank at the beginning of the lockdown. Those with a conventional loan are those I worry about, unfortunately they will get screwed by the banks just like the rest of us homeowners after the market crash. Never EVER trust your mortgage company, always assume they will screw up, and they will, and many 3-5 yrs from now just when they think everything is ok will get blind sided with the bank claiming they owe them thousands or else they'll threaten to foreclose, wait for it, it's coming, happened to millions 12 yrs. and it will happen again.
@@Anglynn74 Did you appeal the judges decision who sided with the mortgage company? It's hard to imagine with receipts for everything a judge decided against you. Sounds like an easily winnable appeal.
@@lql1094 At the time no, not too long after the decision I was scrambling to look into what I could possibly do about it, if I could file anything to contest it, and I then received in the mail the letter from the bank stating they would be postponing the auction so I thought okay I have time to look into what I can do to continue to contest their decision (because I was livid and felt the whole thing was BS). I had looked around, searched for an attorney, left voicemails, emailed people, even looked for a forensic accountant to help, but th enext thing I knew the woman showed up at my door & said she was the new owner. My husband & I went to the courthouse & requested to look into our file & look at the paperwork from the auction. We reviewed everything and then at that point I was referred to an attorney by a friend who knew this specific lawyer and that's when we took them to court for selling the house without our knowledge which lasted for a few months and then the judge decided that the paperwork stating the auction would be postponed was a misprint or "typo". The woman who bought the house showed up in court sitting next to the lawyer for the bank (which I thought was odd). Our attorney said we'd have to post a bond to continue the case & keep going & that it would be another $5k and in the middle of the pandemic we couldn't afford it, we didn't have $5k at the time. I felt very defeated and felt as if my hands were tied & felt (and still feel) as if we were continually being screwed. To this day I don't think anyone ever looked at the answer I filed showing our checks made out to the bank showing the bank cashing the payments. The last hotel we were in, a low income apt complex who I thought would finally help us, told me if we have bad credit they will reject our application. I found myself out in the parking lot yelling "I PAID MY MORTGAGE EVERY MONTH AND MY BANK STOLE MY HOUSE! AND NOW I'M IN A HOTEL!!" which made me look like a nut but it felt good, because that's exactly what happened and I will probably go to my grave continuing the same mantra of "I paid them every month".
I have two rental properties. I only rent to retired professionals. One has rented from me for 18 years (I don't think she thought she'd live this long). I now shop for her and clean her home, we've become family. Older professionals have spent their lives being responsible so that's why I choose these people to rent to. No drama, no late rent, clean and cooperative.
Landlords should have figured out about 6 months ago that they weren't ever going to get paid. When the moratorium extension ends in June and they're thinking they might finally see some money the tenants are going to just move out without looking back.
what they should have done, if they have a mortgage, is phoned the bank within the first 24 hrs of lockdown. It should have been done yesterday. Zero sympathy for those who refuse to do this and instead sit around waiting for someone else to help them in times of hardship. They'll find out a few yrs from now when the bank suddenly demands thousands of dollars and takes them to court to foreclose.
Regardless, if the landlord losses his property, the tenants are going to be out on the street anyway, with or without an eviction notice from the landlord, if the bank forecloses on the landlord's property. Thus, they think they are getting over on the landlord, but they are not, then they will get on the news and complain about the lack of 'rental property available when this is over.' Ms. L. Churchill
Not in California. The state or a non-profit have first chance to scoop up a foreclosure. Then the property becomes gov't housing. So there go the neighborhoods.
@@marshaytrue what about shitty slumlords who abuse thier power, you really think people are taking advantage, lots of people have lost jobs to stay home to homeschool. Landlords should of saved thier money instead of blowing it when a disaster hits,thats what happens when you AINT PREPARED, boo hooo🤣🤣🤣💯💯
Not only that, if they get evicted you better believe landlords going forward are going to carefully check new tenants' backgrounds. People that will be evicted will find it VERY hard to find a new place.
But they have money to Buy liquor 🤔 Because the way the government has run the situation the middle-class renters will not be able to rent.. Forget those below middle class.. Rents are going to go up And they will be priced out of the market.. or the deposits will be so high that they can afford to move in..
It will be full prepaid rent and a signed and binding end of lease exit plan. There will be no such thing as renting anymore, just blocks of time leased to prepaying individuals. This will be the best thing since sliced bread for America.
@@marshaytrue you NEED workers?? In what state are you in? Is the job so physically demanding that people don’t last or, the pay is too low? What the heck is going on where you work?
We have a couple long time renters on social security who stopped paying rent at start of moritorium. They are in the rears thousands of dollars. They won't apply for rental assistance or make any effort. So how are these renters suppose to find an affordable place to live when the moritorium is over. We certainly havn't and won't see any funds if it is dependent on renters applying for landlord assistance. One non paying renter bought a new car and stopped caring for property all together after living here for 5 years before moritorium.
Damn that sucks, I am sorry. It is renters like these who make a bad name for the people who are really down on their luck. I know unemployment didn't go through for a few of my friends. Luckily, they had a lot of money saved. There should have been a better solution to this all. The government should have allowed landlords to evict people who aren't paying and you can prove they can and have the ones who can't pay prove that as well. Sure it is more work and complicated, but it at least holds people accountable. Now landlords are getting shot in the foot from thieves taking advantage of the times. America needs a moral reboot.
@@rebeccalaptook3450 No eviction courts have not even been open for a year now in WA state where I live. WA state does not make any allowances for different eviction. you are suppose to be able to evict for property damage and saftey reasons, but how? evictions couts are locked down. In Wa state it is made clear you do not have to be affected by pandemic to stop paying rent. It is a blanket moritorium for everyone. Including those who are still working, I provide affordable housing for those on limited income; in the past we have found this group of people to be reliable with rent and reporting anything that needs fixed. Until their relatives tell them they don't HAVE to pay and they stop communication all together. edit yes I have contacted several attorneys who won't take any eviction cases no matter the circumstances.
I am so sorry that you’re going through this. It seems criminal to me; you’re being stolen from and the law is giving permission to do it. I really hope that you’re able to come out of this okay and that you get your money back. I would contact a different attorney and see if I could file a civil lawsuit for their back rent. That at least documents things and maybe another way to force some loot out of them. Maybe they can have wages garnished? Regardless, even if I got every penny back willingly from them, I would still evict as soon as the moratorium lifts, based on the fact that they willingly did this.
Lets be real, the most affected are landlords. For every legitimate tenant with an issue, there is probably another one faking it and taking advantage of over a year of no rent. And in all cases the owner is being screwed, being forced to subsidize other people. Thats governments job, not mine!
I once owned rentals back in the 80s the tenants would pay the first months rent and then nothing after. I would file a petition against them with the city of Detroit, and one year later the parasites would be evicted. I sold out and took the money and ran for my life. What landlords are dealing with today I was dealing with decades ago. My pandemic ended when I sold out. Thank you God.
What a mess! The renters were living on the edge before the pandemic. They will be on the street after the moratorium is lifted. The landlords will never get their money. The only landlords that survive well, r big corporations.
This new .......Is helping many, but it's also hurting the good tenants who still struggle to pay their rent while the bad tenants continue to smoke dope, keep up noise, destroy the apartments and pay no one but the dope man. 😒🐒🐱🐻
If tenants do not need to pay rent under this law, then landlords ought not need to pay property taxes. I am making this point, because municipality services would shutdown and it's employees would be out of work. Well, similar things are now happening to landlords under this same law.
@diana diaz Not paying rent for utilizing space in someone else's home was criminal. Under this law, it is criminal to do something about it. I thank God that I am a follower of Jesus, and He call his people to submit to the laws of the land, except if the laws defy the words of the Creator of heaven and earth.
@diana diaz You are speaking to me as if I am the government, and that I made this law. You have free will to choose as you see fit. When you finally make your choice, you will see the final results either way.
I’m hoping that this pandemic will end and also stop extending eviction because were tenants who pay on time we have problems with other tenants who lives close by us who smoke marijuana drink overnight and having parties our landlord can’t do anything even she wants to evict because it’s against the law for evicting due to pandemic and my family,my kids had to deal with this neighbor but for how long ?They causing a lot of problems
I’m in the same boat. Tenants upstairs constantly smoking and stomping all night. Their car has 2 year expired plates. I’m sure they’re not paying rent🤦♀️
If I was in that situation, I would retaliate by pounding on the ceiling during the times when they are sleeping and cooking smelly stuff whose fumes drift upward.
The problem is states aren’t doing a moratoriums on property taxes. The government still has it’s hand out while telling landlords they can’t legally do anything if people don’t pay.
For those Tenants that think, I will skate, not pay my past due, and just move into my own house or another rental...yes, you can do that. Many Landlords (including me) will go the distance and get a judgement. When it shows ups good luck with the next place or trying to refinance a loan...deadbeat was super surprised when the judgement showed up and that interest had accrued...amazing how such a "broke", bum, can pay super fast when they must!!
If you are a landlord that pays the tenants water or utilities, shut them off. They will respond to you right away. Worked for me, yea it's illegal, but in this current time there seem to be no rules. 2 can play this game.
You must be a Texas or Wyoming landlord. You will be sued if you do that too in most states.. No way out of this. Buh bye amerikkka. Stock market will plummet this summer. Short sell ...to get your money back.
There are laws and you cant shut them off, or you will be sued. In California, you could liable for up to $100 for each day, plus damages and attorneys' fees.
My mom had a rental house, tenants rarely paid on time, were thousands of dollars behind constantly. They destroyed the house-making crappy "repairs" and all kinds of weird stuff. Destroyed the pool. She finally evicted them and filed bankruptcy. I used to think having a rental property was a great idea but no thanks!
Exactly. This pandemic has become a lazy person's paradise. We already knew there were lazy leeches out there. But this pandemic magnified how many losers there really are that can't and won't pay their bills.
You don’t see stories about the 98% of tenants who never stopped paying rent OR the tenants who left the properties in immaculate condition. Those aren’t “stories” and won’t get the same viewership. I would know bc I love watching these vids that talk about horrible landlord/tenant situations. These situations aren’t very common in most areas. It’s about the shock value and I’m here for it lol
I wish you were right about this but you simply are incorrect, at least in the Southern Ohio area. Statistics don't lie. There are some that are paying their rent but there are staggering amounts of tenants that are taking advantage of the moratorium. Short sided thinkers make short sided decisions and the consequences of not being able to find any one that will rent to them will be devastating in the long run. A lot of people are going to moving back in with their parents are into a car.
Why would it be a "story" for people to do what is normal and expected of them, like paying your rent and leaving said property without damage. you must be part of the generation where everybody got a trophy for nothing more than being present. These "situations" were a problem before the pandemic. The pandemic made it legal
Listen I lost my job at the start of all this, when I applied for rental assistance I was denied. Filed for unemployment and only received $26 a week. My rent is $1100. Never received a stimulus payment until this year. So I get it. There are some ppl out there that just trying to take care of families while navigating through all this craziness.
That is tough. I'm a property owner, and my approach would be to forgive that month's rent so that you have money to move. Also, I would let you out of your lease without penalty, and refund your deposit if the property condition warrants.
$26 per week WTF. That’s a slap in the face. I hope you at least qualified for SNAP. You should follow Prepper Princess and Spend Savy. Both women will show you ways to make your money stretch.
In a real pandemic, no industry or demographic has magical immunity while others do not, we all do whatever the situation calls for... All Industry All Demographics! In a planned/scripted pandemic, those executing the script must never break character, never admit error, and adhere to every letter in the script no matter how obvious the idiocracy and if you happen to control 85% of all media and available information... That certainly helps.
Landlords should unite and sue the government. If the government was so worried about people having a home during the pandemic, then instead of handing out cash, it should have picked up the tab for rent expenses. Why should private businesses and small Landlords have to sustain the costs?
Mirtes Happy, the government does privide rental assistance and Landlords doesn't want to accept it..still want tenants to pay cash because Landlirds have not been paying their taxes prior to the pandemic and doesn't want to submit their W9 tax document which is required by all agencies giving rental assistance. Don't blame government and tenants for everything. Not all Landlords are good or doing the right thing. They want tenants to pay rent but they have not been paying their taxes and GOD knows what else for years and been living lavish lifesyles off tenants who are bearly scraping thru, some have to work a few jobs to make ends meet and can't even save a dime. Not sorry for them been taking advantage of tenants forever. We deserve a break.
I don’t think that’s a good idea motor not paying the landlords they’re going to pay him something as a country we cannot afford it and most of them are not trying to look for work
Systematic elimination of small business owners. It started last summer with the riots. Business owners in major cities were burned out. Now it’s the rent moratorium to bankrupt owners of rental units. Just all part of the plan.
Correct these folks won't be able to rent again. Hopefully. And the number of rentals are going to shrink. Future leases will be okay. I want 6 mos rent in advance.
@@lql1094 I put 40,000 down as down-payment so yes I paid a boatload in advance. A helluva lot more than 6 months. You don't know much about real estate do you?
Or a property tax relief effort from LGU's? The city and county still want their taxes paid on time, the the schools that are closed, spend all their time creating a pity party that it is more expensive to not use their $80 million dollars school buildings that sit empty.
No!!! both sides are not suffering. The landlord is suffering because of parasitic tenants. Not paying your rent is theft. If the landlord doesn't pay his property tax or mortgage, the city or the mortgage company will take the property.
During this pandemic which I call "the invisible evil" those who can afford to pay Their rent or mortgage should and for those who can't pay something.
This is just sad, where I live almost all the renters are behind or not paid at all... Just a few of us have paid in full as usual, but yet, we see all kinds of furniture, amazon boxes, big screen tv boxes and people walking around with new stuff... most people qualified for housing assistance, unemployment or other gov help, at least here in CA they did, and they still didn't pay their rent, because they knew they couldn't be evicted... as one who paid my rent, I find that highly unfair and irresponsible, and they will get away with it.
I almost rented a room at my house, I needed it help, thank God I didn't, heard of Roommate situations when one is not paying rent because of the rent moratorium.
An abusive roommate has taken our landlord hostage when he was almost kicked out before the lockdown. We've been repeatedly denied any exceptions when he shouldn't need an eviction, because it's a month to month lease. My landlord is so traumatized from being helpless he will sell the house and stop being a landlord after this. Now an opportunity for 3 renters to get a really good place at a relatively low price in the housing crisis, in one of the best neighborhoods, is gone. My roommate would have a basic reference if he left voluntarily but now he is absolutely destroying 4 years of rental history and guaranteeing his long term homelessness. Who is supposed to be helped by these lock downs, tell me? Protect people from reality and you destroy the foundation of empowerment itself.
Landlords aren't getting that money back and will have to use their own money for courts, sheriff for removal, and damage's.. and you know there will be damage's!
It's ridiculous. Last March/April/May people got suddenly put out of work, so yeah they fall behind. But then they got stimulus checks and enhanced unemployment, and should have caught back up pretty easily. Seems like many people decided just to not pay and keep all the government money they got. Landlords could sue and win a wage garnishment, but it would take years to get their money back, if at all.
Part of those Stimulus payments could've been given to the Landlords and rest to Tennants...hopefully there will be a program for landlords to claim damages for reimbursement as well as a tax credit... this was not a well planned event... some of these renters were problematic prior to COVID... i'm glad we contiued to pay... our landlord sent us the Moratorium letter...we chose to keep paying without regrets.
That's actually a great idea. The stimulus payments really should have gone to landlords, kind of like a Renters Credit. Instead, I think way too many people are completely wasting that money on frivolous crap that's not helping ANYBODY.
Not creating a crisis for tenants. They can always walk away and not look back. But they choose to stay because living rent-free, they they own the landlord. But landlords continue to bleed and there's no mortgage relief assistance to stop the bleeding.
The landlords are falling behind on bills or can't pay those bills because tenants refuse to pay them anything at all. I think people should pay what they can IF they are struggling from the pandemic. Unfortunately, too many tenants seem to think they don't have to pay rent at all. I was behind on my rent after the pandemic began, back in December I tried to apply for assistance through the housing website and It said they weren't accepting any applications after December 3rd. Thankfully, I was able to eventually catch up on the months I was behind and stay current. I just don't agree with the people using the moratorium as a crutch in a sense that, they refuse to pay anything when they are able to actually pay at least half of their rent or spending money on things they want instead of catching up on rent. Personally, when I didn't have the money to pay my rent it kept me up at night and I constantly worried and I kept searching for some kind of assistance because I don't expect to live anywhere for free.
Any assistance for commercial property landlords..my tenant is making money every day but did not pay rent over a year and I m paying all building insurance, city Bill's and other expenses from my pocket.😥😥
Say sorry city, No Rent = No Property Taxes. I'd get meaner if I were you. Too nice... Your next renter, How much will you ask for prepayment? FULL prepayment and signed exit plan that they will exit on a certain date. Beginning and End and protect every cent in between. Honestly I had no idea landlords were so weak and passive.
Renters will never pay the past rent due. Landlords are fukt buddy. It wouldn’t be so bad for landlords if the STATE would put a moratorium on property taxes but we all know that’ll never happen. We’re all fuuuuuukt!!!
only cant evict for non payment. can still evict. some ways around this. find a small agreement in the lease that the tenant broke, terminate the lease, go month to month. no eviction, just not renewing the lease. i did this beginning of the year. good luck landlords. also, i suspect you’ll see the money. the fed will likely bail us out of the issue they caused with money they don’t have.
Landlords can still choose not to renew a lease or evict for reasons other than non-payment. No one's looking to move right now so reliable new tenants are tough to find.
This is why I never wanted to buy rental properties. Because you can not see what's around the corner. If you really think about it. At any point you could have a tenant that just stop paying you.
I would like to see tenants be insured. If they dont pay the rent or damage the place, the insurance co pays the rent / damage on there behalf. Just like car insurance. The longer they go on renting without a claim, the cheaper their insurance is. The landlord could pay their insurance premiums on their behalf to make sure the policy is kept in place.
They do. They are "supposed" to provide their landlord with a signed affidavit declaring that they can't afford rent, and they have to meet eligibility requirements. But of course, it won't really matter..people will find ways to cheat, or find loopholes.
For people who haven't paid rent for a year? Two things will happen when they are evicted, 1 credit destroyed, 2 no one will ever rent to these people ever again. Staying rent free will come back and bite you in the ass!!!!! Good Luck your gong to need it😭😭😭
Stupid, selfish, and entitled people think landlords roll in the dough but don't realize property owners are normally average people who invested their savings in an income generating property and that it only yields profit after paying off the mortgage, something that doesn't happen for maybe 20-30 years. This doesn't include the expenses paid for property upkeep, property taxes, and property insurance.
Not true I got evicted during the moratorium, didint matter to them that I was paying what I could, that Im a cancer patient, with a special needs son, now nobdy wants to rent to me because of the eviction. So who is telling the truth?
Disgusting... unless these people can provide a hardship I say ‘OUT’, it basically comes down to the OWNER loosing or the tenant. As far as destruction of the properties I believe that the tenant should automatically be evicted.
What about those landlords who are pretty far behind on their mortgage and taxes where the tenants have been paying on time but refuse to pay anymore rent to them because the mortgage company has threatened to kick them out of the home? Where are those stories at? I know they are out there because it happened to me not just once, but twice.
@@blakeberlin6295 OK. So, the good faith tenants are safe from being evicted even though the landlord is basically a deadbeat? If so then that is good to know.
Dude in my apartment there are only like 5 of use left, out of like 30 rooms this shit hurt alot of people. My apartment company even got a new company with new workers because the old owner was stealing People's rent instead of putting it on there shit
Then nobody will qualify. Maybe 1 in 200. And the place sits vacant for 8 months while you look for a person who qualifies. I owned and operated apartment buildings for almost 30 years and have seen an d heard it all. Most people who rent are late with the rent if they miss a week of work due to illness. Good idea but it doesn't work.
I feel bad for landlords atleast give something i understand if u cant make ends meet in this challenging times but destroying property i swear some people are just sick
Alot of big businesses got a huge kickback from the covid stimulus package,Im pretty sure the Lakers got busted for accepting over 4.6 million for the small business federal program, Smh
YOU CAN EVICT JUST NOT FOR PAST DUE RENT. IF YOU HAVE A BLOOD FAMILY MEMBER THAT IS HAVING A HARD TIME, AND FACING HOMELESS, YOU CAN EVICT BASED ON FAMILY HARDSHIP....😜 THAT IS 1 LEGAL WAY TO GET A DEAD BEAT OUT OF YOUR HOUSE, AND LETS FACE IT, EVERYONE OF US HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER THAT CAN “MOVE IN” FOR A FEW WEEKS.
Landlords, charge two months rent up front and double your deposits. Do a thorough background search. Get references, auto deposits on the 1st, notice of late payment/violation notice plus late fees on the 3rd, notice to vacate on the 7th, and eviction on the 11th if needed. Do you paperwork and post it to the tenant. You have to get a bad tenant out as quick as possible. Don't negotiate with a tenant for late payment, they will always hold you to every word in your lease, do the same to them. It's your property, not theirs!
