- Since March 2023, Maricopa County, Arizona, has led the nation in eviction filings, with one Phoenix judge hearing as many as 500 eviction cases a month. It's part of an affordable housing crisis attributed to rising rents. Kris Van Cleave explains.

Cops evict tenants but not squatters... sounds about right in this country.
They actually
Do, when they follow the same rules by the renter or owner of properties 😊
Yes 😢
Tenants at the point of being evicted legally are squatters. Squatters can be evicted but it has to be proved they are squatters first.
@@user-do2ev2hr7h Thanks Captain Obvious..
My prayers to them, god help them and us all
They figure if you pay $1700 then you can afford $2100
We're supposed to be a better nation than this.
What are you willing to do personally... Don't give me a story about voting because that is not helpful... What are you spending your paycheck to finance somebody moving into free housing or are you bringing someone into your residence to live for free?
@Joce123 what are you even on about? How would that solve anything at all? Explain why as it's a GLOBAL issue. I'll wait.
@@Joe-ti7qd Go ahead and wait.
Every year , every year it goes up !
Yes, but we’re not.
America is a business not a country of citizens… the rent increases is insane
I'm so glad I'm childfree lol
Exactly we are sheeps paying for high rents all the time this is insane 😳
Homeless in Arizona heat. That can be a deadly.
What do you think about living in Strawberry Hill or how about Holbrook
They don't care they just worship money
@Bob-bb3ur You really have to care about yourself and unfortunately you must make some extraordinary changes.
I hope that a lot of people are listening to these stories and realize that they need to prepare for the possibilities that they may have to move.. Our landlord got a divorce and sold his 200 unit apartment complex in the settlement.. Almost everyone had to move.!!
@@Joce123 hard to do when you're in your late 70s and only have your social security check
America is toast. Unchecked Greed permiates nearly everything in America. Has since the 1990's.
What was the interest rate in Jan 2021 and what is it now? So what changed that caused that?
This is Bidenomics at it's finest, but hey lets look the other way and continue to send millions to Ukraine and continue to give free housing and food to illegal immigrants while America's are becoming homeless.
I was just in El Salvador telling a local "In America, the corporations run everything. No matter who you vote for."
@@brucehicks5817 So your suggestion is what, that America become a Socialist Country where The Government runs all the businesses?
Facts
Rental going up jobs payments going down
Well jobs did not increase their payment amounts as much as quickly.
A lot, but not all is from corperate greed. Inflation is going down (slowly) but the cost of quite a few items is still high.
@@debikeeneya few items where you live Mississippi?
This is insane more homeless will be on the streets and tecatos and tecatas everywhere
Life is expensive in America!
It's expensive lots of places.
Life is expensive in oligarchic America!
Life is expensive in most countries
Life is death in America thanks to black rock oh they are so kind
@@akrammasood3480nah
Who owns these rentals ?
Cold corporations who have zero concern for HUMAN lives
😡
Partly true, but corps own only 25% of rentals. The other 75% are actual people doing this. Greed has completely taken over American society.
So they should just let people live in their properties for free?
@@DistrustHumanz yeah and led by the government class who know no bounds...
Blackrock
So true.
Sad and unacceptable that we can’t afford to live in basic housing. Ridiculous
This is literally happening in _EVERY_ major U.S. city - corporate greed has gotten outta control. No reason rents shoulda gone up by 50-60% within the past 5 years. Maybe 20% *at most*
No control at all.
Supply and demand.
Crying about "corporate greed" makes you sound so financially illiterate. Mom and pop rents are increasing too. Its called supply and demand
Still think America is the “greatest country on Earth”?
It’s cold, heartless, and callous what’s done to people who are trying to simply survive.
Show us the way and let some of these unvetted squatters move in with you!
you anger is directed at the wrong people, the government and big business is behind all these problems for the most part (printing money out of thin air, using funds for other causes that the money is not supposed to be used, not holding people accountable from top on down for wrong doing, not setting a good example, blaming others for the problems they cause and trying to put a bandaid onthe problems they created and forcing teh citizens to carry the burden for the damage government is doing) remember when we point a finger at some one as the bad guy there are still three fingers pointing back.
People voted for it the last couple of elections so I hear. This is what they wanted.
The man is great: he cared for his sick girlfriend. She passed away. He can’t come up with $3,000 to stay.
That is truly sad. I felt sorry for him.
He can't come up with the $3,000 AND next month's rent. And the month after that. And the month after that.
@@KK-pm7ud Exactly: it is too much. He can’t.
@@schawnettarobinson8584 Which is why he's getting evicted.
@@KK-pm7ud Okay: sad situation.
I've lived here my whole life and before 2010, this was an affordable place to live. Then too many people started to move here from other states and our population grew and now everything cost too much. Rents are ridiculously high and people just can't afford to live comfortably anymore.
Alot of the landlord's don't even live in Arizona.
I met a man in California who bought homes in Arizona to rent them out and make a profit.
Same is happening in Las Vegas.
@@winning3329 It's private equity money far removed from the locales where the property resides. Every Monday morning the managers hold meetings to review their portfolios of properties. They're strictly numbers people who could care less about people.
Same thing in Indiana
@@weirdshibainu Most rentals are owned by mom and pop landlords.
I own a rental and my tenant is a hard worker and a great person she tries to take care of the place and yes I could get more money but why she has been living there for 15 years. No need to be greedy just as long as I can pay the insurance and property taxes that is all that matters.
and that's the approach many landlords have; simply looking for the property's value to escalate. But 'all' landlords are not necessarily like you, many 'depend' on rental income...
@@forgottenman8629 Yeah but his attitude is super awesome!!!!
And that's what makes you a great landlord
You’re the exception apparently
Good man
Pure Greed...this is getting ridiculous.
Phoenix Metro has doubled in housing cost since 2010. Why are people paying California prices to live in a desert? You tell me.
Probably cause CA is so expensive that they moved out here and they can afford it pushing people out. I live in the west valley and they are building apartments like crazy and still can’t keep up. Thank god I bought during the recession
@@drplando14 I lived in Gilbert way back in 2011. Left for Texas. My new build in 2019 in the suburbs was 176K. Again, as someone who has lived in Arizona, why would you pay those prices for a desert? It makes absolutely no sense. New Mexico or West Texas are deserts and way less expensive. Californians or not, that's insane.
@@DIVISIONINCISION sometimes people go to where there is a job. As and Phoenix is growing because job growth is strong. I agree, no one wants to live in the desert and I would much rather live in CA but my job is here and I’ve tried to leave but no luck. Not sure if you question takes on the different variables or is it just rhetorical
@@drplando14 I agree about going where the jobs are, provided the cost of living is reasonable. Phoenix is way too high.
Unfortunately, it’s not just CA, folks have been moving and retiring to Phoenix for decades. The difference is…the pandemic speed things up. Phoenix is the 5th largest city in the country. That wasn’t the case 10 years ago. That tells you how many people are moving to that metro area. My fiancé grew up in Glendale in the 1980s and 1990s and every time we go back to visit family every few years (he left in 2005), he’s shocked by the amount of growth especially in his hometown and in parts of West Metro Phoenix closer to Sky Harbor Airport. Also, they are constantly building houses out there like Las Vegas. Every time you visit Vegas and drive around, new vacant homes are being built. If you would have told me Phoenix would be the 5th largest city in the country and Las Vegas’ metro area would reach 2million by 2020, I would have laughed in your face. These are two dessert cities that were more laid out for retirees. That’s not the case anymore 😮
Seven people couldn’t pull the rent together? 🤔
Probably not since there are other expenses to pay as well with just the four walls. If they have kids childcare is basically a rent payment these days
Some of them were probably children.
Since you're so concerned, start a gofund page for them.
They were all on drugs how that room was looking it’s high in AZ

Money over everything. American way.
Seriously, “ cancer “ is this how we treat people after tragedy ❤
What ??????
Don't get me started on health care in America - It is horrible.
The landlord or ownership people are not in housing to take care of people unfortunately IMO they almost always seem way more interested in the money. But to be honest they have to worry about Banks and other lenders because those people IMO are even worst!!!

I'm 100 miles north of Phoenix and a small 3/2 house rents for $2250 a month. It would stress any average person to pay this amount every month.
This is a crime. Greedy insurance companies, greed for taxes and greedy landlords.
Thank you

Time to toughen up, America. Nothing will get fixed by sitting on the sideline and simply talking about it. Words don't mean anything anymore... only action.

We’re all going to be at their mercy soon
And are we paying for some war? Damn THis is evil
It's not always a guarantee that if you live with someone, you'll have a place to stay.
This is sad and nobody doing nothing to protect renters
they do, it is called going to court and free lawyers for renters and they drag it out as long as possible hence these things are causing rents to go up and rental units to go down as no one wants to deal with the heavy costs of eviction non payers or people who damage property and cause trouble for their neighbors. sometimes renters get 3 or 4 months or more of free housing.; it is the landlords moms and pops who suffer. many are just people who have a room or a extra unit they can rent out for additional income to supplement social security.
People be like: "If we just elect my special someone for 4 years, everything will get better!!"
....how has that been working out for you so far? 🤣
Heartbreaking.
These landlords need to be held accountable for building codes you cannot have seven people in a f****** house.
Right you can't have seven people in an apartment which is probably why she and her friends are getting evicted.
How are you going to get mad at the landlords? Remember the rent moratorium?
You think 7 people cannot be in a property and how do you know that the landlord was being humane and looking at the other way?
It’s a 3 bedroom you could have up to 2 couples in a room & say a child sleeps with parents. It’s doable.
In one of my apartments few years ago, I was living in a 1 bedroom 632 square foot, people above in the same size apartment had 7 people living in it
This is no bueno. My heart goes out to all affected. I’m hanging by a thread also. We should care more about each other. Love thy neighbor
My rent went from $1220 to $1780. And no washer and dryer included.
This is heartbreaking!!
So sad and discouraged for our fellow Americans who are being priced out of living inside.
Everywhere rent is too high.
Market price scam .
Yes we are being scammed for money with your city's plan.
I had friends in Maricopa who had their rents increase 75 plus percent in 2022
I live in Santa Rosa ca. 2 bedroom apt average $3k-$3800. A 3 bedroom house to rent $3500-$4500 a month. My friend attempted to buy a $650k house. $100k down with a 726 credit score. Mortgage $4200, property tax monthly $985 and home insurance $375. He only brings home $4000 a month. It doesn’t make sense anymore. The average American doesn’t make six figure. I make that and can’t live on my own anymore.
Your not buying a house bringing in only 4k month lol
@@misterbanshee7992 that’s the point. I make over six figures and after taxes, child support and 401k ect I only take home around $5200. I can barely afford to rent a two bedroom apt. They are setting it up this way so we can’t. Corporations have been buying up properties the last few years. We are moving into the era of only renting and only the super wealthy can buy.
I’m only saying this based on what I see in the Bay Area. Not everyone makes great money. Average person probably make $40-60k a year. That’s nothing.
Why must people want to live/buy a $650K home? Move to a city/town in which the average home is $250K to $300K.. Get roommates to help with the mortgage and that income will help one to qualify for a higher mortgage. $4k a month in income can get someone a decent house and still have money for a nice car lease.. One does not need a BMW or Benz. or Ford F-150 costing $700 a month. One can get by with a Toyota Corolla costing $250 a month. People need to learn to live within their means or rise up and get a better means.
@@mamadouaziza2536 in Northern California there is no longer houses under 400k. I
@@KanimNve
That's not true... There are plenty of houses for $400k and under in Northern California.
Northern California is more than Silicone Valley, San Francisco etc.,. We all know these houses are way overpriced...
There are hundreds of small cities and towns in Northern California in which one can survive on $4k a month.
How is it that rent is increasing when all we hear is that home sales are dropping?
Because people can’t afford to own homes. Those are being bought my mega corporations. They’re outbidding single families nationwide.
People lose their houses and are forced to rent.
home prices have skyrocketed way beyond justification. by appraising houses high they get more property taxes even tho they know well I think they know that you wont be able to sell at that price it is a win win for them and a lose lose for homeowners.
No one is addressing that the landlord tenant act in Arizona is biased toward the landlord. That is the state legislators' doing.
There is no compassion. Every eviction stays on your record for up to 10 years. That's by design.
When Chris Van Cleve said "everyone is one financial catastrophe from losing a place to live", he's right. You lose everything. No one is addressing how this adds to the homeless issue.
What do you mean biased towards the landlord?
Landlord's have more rights than tenants.
I was forced out of my apartment because management company was bullying me and refused to fix a leak in my bedroom.
I was forced to hire a lawyer to help me because nobody else would.
Maybe Landlord's should be honest and fix things?
And you're saying this like it's a bad thing ? Arizona's fair landlord laws are ENCOURAGING massive Investment and new builds every single year.
Do you want to see LESS new apartments coming online????
@@bsgvlog5640do you live in Arizona? I do, and even the new apartments being built are vastly overpriced. I have watched this place turn into a cesspool for real estate greed over the last 30 years. It has destroyed this place in more ways I could ever find the time to explain.
Folks not thinking about no act so have a seat .Its about the might dollar but broke people would not know that😊
It is a judgment that stays on public record. That is all judgments, not just those related to evictions.
I've been evicted in Tempe. I don't do drugs, don't have mental health issues. I lost my job living paycheck to paycheck because rent drained my savings. I found a better paying job 55k/yr and currently live out of my car. I have a baby on the way whom I will be responsible for in about a month. I have no hope of finding a place right now bc an eviction means you can't rent again. I don't know what I'm going to do.
It’s incredibly hard to afford rent now a days. Back decades ago the man could go to work at an average job, wife stay home and take care of the kids all while affording a house. Times sure have changed. Greedy America
Try to find a local mom & pop landlord - they’re usually more lenient. And after 3-5 years pass, an eviction won’t really matter. Just keep your record clean.
@@flanagamerSave as much cash as humanly possible.....prepay at least 6 mo in advance with a small landlord... Or be prepared to pay exorbitant rent for a period of time. Where is the father?

@HiLoveLeighs The problem with an RV is the temperature the other gets really cold..you could use sleeping bags at night or really hot during the day... There are some very amazing battery operated air conditioners that might help you with that and then there's the problem of where to park.

Yeah but I ain’t laughing
This country has always been a joke😮
Thank your politicians for the rent increases after a 2 year moratorium on rent. Landlords will recover the lost revenue and damage to their rentals. I lost $4,400 in rent and $10,000 in damages, so once the freeloaders were gone and repairs were made, the rent went from $1,200 to $2,000. Blame the politicians and freeloaders, not the landlords! Where was the moratorium on property taxes, insurance, and mortgage payments to protect the landlords?
Get your 💰!
It's called being in business. Things happen. Nothing is guaranteed. You sound new.
So after recovering the losses, do the rents go down?
@@atlfun08 Nope.
I totally agree. They don't cry when they pay double for food, or vehicles or insurance.. They don't 'blame' people.
I make $76,000 a year and cant afford a 1 bedroom apartment where i live in florida.
Phoenix and Las Vegas does not have a housing problem. They have a greed problem. My fiancé and I visit both cities several times a year from L.A. We constantly see new builds all the time in the city limits of Las Vegas and the Phoenix suburbs. My fiancé grew up in Northwest of Phoenix in the 1980s and 1990s and that city used to just retirees and family. Now, you have young people and the booming job market out there, so everyone is moving to Phoenix. This is why it is now the 5th largest city in the country. This is why rents and housing prices are going up in Phoenix and also Vegas’ 2million population metro area, more people are opting to rent than purchase and the pandemic era protections for renters (similar to what the judge mentioned in the story) is now catching up with eviction notices. 😢
Everywhere has a housing crisis in America! Greedy plain and simple.
Just praying for everyone rn. I know it's hard but I promise you will get thru. Sending love and light. 🙏🏾✨💓
How has the tax reform act of 2017 affected corporate real estate investment? How has RealPage, Inc. contributed to rental inflation?

Shameful No Rent Cap here in AZ!
Nothing but greed ..
The greed needs to stop for real
So, when the landlords are owed $1000s in back rent & still have to make mortgage payments along with taxes, insurance & repairs, that is greed?
Someone has got to help us all, it's not fair at all to kick us all in the street, WOE TO THE RICH!
Corporations are buying up homes and renting for sky high prices. Investors are buying up airbnbs and renting them out for passive income

My rent went from 900 to 1500 in 3 years.
I'm in arizona lucky I have my van ......there is no help......
Cross the border and come back without any documents and say you are from Venezuela. You will get everything
Lots of people going homeless, and it's just picking up. Sad
In my old complex they dropped the rent price after evicting people. Desperate to recoup money i suppose but the apartments have been vacant for weeks to over a month. My old apartment almost 2 now.
Thats why i dont complain about anything...even the door dasher stealing my food at times im grateful for real
It's ugly across the whole nation.
My rent has more than tripled sonce 2019. This isnt sustainable. If im having concerns over monthly expenses then how is the average person going to handle this? I make a lot lot more than most and have no kids or wife to worry about and still im seeing a worrying trajectory.
to bad wages are not keeping up, corporations can be greedy, and want cheap or free labor.
This is insane most people wil be living in tents or under a bridge if rents keep increasing 😮
so be prepared, we are thinking of what if too, and if my husbands retirement is not enough for this place we are prepared to down size or even live in a campervan is needed so he doesnt have to work, iw ant him home and us enjoying our final year together having fun not working until he dies
I own a rental in Phoenix, my homeowner's insurance was $480 last year, this year it increased to $1,250, I have never filed a claim, insurance, property taxes and HOA dues keep increasing which is causing rents to increase
It's crazy but I knew this was going to happen after the pandemic.... It just made sense because on the news I kept on hearing that there was a rent moratorium. It's like a pendulum. It was bound to swing the other way.
All so real estate investors can make their profits
Greed over concern for tenants..it would be more beneficial to work with good tenants
I live here in Tempe been in my apartment unit for 5 years now. It's utilities included full washer and dryer. I tried looking at other places it's twice the price from what I'm paying now. They want me to pay close to 3000 for a little apartment with no balcony and no washer and dryer sounds like I'll be staying in my unit for another 5 years lol with my ac at 60 degrees with the same rent every month.

My homeboy just got a house man he said the mortgage is going to be around $2,700 a month I was like damn mine $1,400 we live in Houston bro
Thanks to BLACKROCK
No you beat me to it
The places with the highest eviction rates are where people moved during the last 5 years. Moving to the low cost area didn’t help because the jobs in the low cost area do not pay well.
Grandparents who went through the depression always said, if YOU cannot pay for anything else, PAY for your rent! Do any jobs you have to, even clean toilets but PAY your rent and save two months of rent money for emergency. Sorry for those who were actually trying to pay their rent but lost their jobs and could not find another one. But, a few of the eviction cases shown were people who thought they did not have to pay the landlord forever. Along with high rents or landlords now want to receive rent (as many have not been paid rent since 2019) many people who own homes are losing their properties due to HIGH Property taxes. Property Taxes, HOA Fees, Condo Fees, Overpriced homes, are making hard working taxpayers lose their only property (Home, Condo). How can it be legal to suddenly raise Condo fees by 40%. How can it be legal to raise HOA Fees by 50%. How can these crooked tax assessors be allowed to overvalue someone property by hundreds of thousands of dollars, when they are not investors and those homes are their only child hood homes. Many areas are becoming like Detroit and Mississippi - desolate and empty as the working class is continuously fleeced in these manners. The vile tax assessors are getting multi-year promotions using Tax Payer dollars because these tax assessors ARE Overvaluing people's properties to bring in money to the municipalities. They don't care that people end up homeless (many veterans and elderly) or their home comes into foreclosure because they had to borrow against equity and credit cards to try and pay their property taxes or HOA or Condo fees. Where are the State representatives to put a stop to this madness??!!
26 Constables, that’s a whole lot of evictions…Hoping for better for those unfortunate.
So disheartening 😢
Constable must be so proud and sleep well at night. Shameful Im sure there are also pets that need placement too. Awful
It's time for government to step up to the plate and put rent controls in place. This has gotten out of hand. How many homeless people is acceptable in the world's richest country? How many Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, sleeping on the floor at a friend's house, or in an RV or car somewhere? We need to build public housing that people can lease to own and start recreating a middle class society.
they have already, it is called you cannot evict without court order and it takes months to get evictions through inmany places that my friend is a form of rent control, you can stop paying rent and save your money.
At least there isn't a cabal of property owners conspiring to force rental prices and of course profits higher. Right guys?
“You’ll own nothing and like it.” Apparently we’re not even supposed to rent either.
The United States of Greed. So very sad.
Wake up people landlords do not have to raise rent.They do it because they can they do it because they see others raising rent and making more money.
This is sad and unfair... For shame!!!!
this systme is unfair it is geared to protect the wealth of the wealthy, if they truly want to help the 'little' people maybe they can stop taxing us to death and remove property taxes on your main residence. property taxes is just another form of wealth transfer to those who dont need it.
I feel sorry for the tenants but also the landlords as they too have to pay bills. 🤷🏽♂️
