the landlords that were up to replacing the heater, installing a cat door, letting her get a dog and making a fence for it - they're like the DREAM. AND they don't raise rent? God, what I wouldn't give.
That tenant sounds exactly like my ex husbands old neighbour. She had mental health issues and made his life hell living next to her. He tried to get someone to intervene to maybe get her committed but her case wasn’t severe enough. He moved out when he could no longer deal with her crap.
@@KJxxoo my aunt is schizophrenic. she's been kicked out of many apartments for being annoying and weird. my uncle said she would mop the floor so much there was water damage and it would damage the apartments below. she was always harassing the apartment managers and staff. the thing that kind of saved her was she was walking across a street in winter, was hit and the car took off. she was in a snow bank for a few hours. when someone found her she was taken to the hospital where they called my uncle (she had kids but his number was in her wallet) and he said, can we finally get a judge in here for her? she had to be in the hospital for a few days and after 2 they saw what he meant. they called a judge and she was court ordered to take her meds. they put her on a monthly shot and a sheriff goes and picks her up once a month, takes her to the doc and she gets her shot. My uncle and i were talking after this happened and he said, for the first time in 20 years i had a coherent conversation with her. I had seen her about 5 years prior (we live in different states) and i hadn't seen my fathers side of the family since i was 4, i was 27 at the time, i remember her the best as her oldest and i are the same age and we played together a lot. so when i saw her, she acted as though it was only a few days since i'd last seen her. it was weird. lol. but when we talk on the phone now she makes more sense and knows time has passed and i'm not a little kid anymore. i feel like people with schizophrenia should be court ordered to take their meds. so many don't and end up hurting themselves or someone else when they can take some meds and feel better and be a productive member of society.
I’d love to have a landlord like them
*The
Yeah actually I'd like to know where this is....this landlord deserves a good tenant!
Having the mailman slip you the new tenant addresses is SUPER illegal, btw. Source: I used to work for USPS.
So is screwing up a place you lived in like they were talking, so while I obviously don't condone eye for an eye behavior, it's nice to know where to send the court summons.
I have only had amazing landlords who were nice people and quick to respond to any issue. If a tenant is a jerk and they qualify for a summons, the change of address should automatically be available to landlords. Don’t get me wrong, I know OF shitty landlords and I think they should have the same consequences of being bad people.
I was just about to comment this. Federally illegal
@@KitsuneYashaX48omg hypmic profile pic?
I'm starting to wonder if these landlords punished by crap tenants turn into the grumpy cynical landlords after enough trauma.
Yes, that is what happens.
Yep. I rented out my house to a woman. Trusted her despite some red flags. Ended up regretting my decision. Will cost $16,000 to $20,000 to repair the damage. Tenant has dropped off the face of the earth. Will never rent again.
It’s the landlord lifecycle
Absolutely! I lost an entire weekend watching the UK show *Nightmare Tenants and Slum Landlords* on RUclips and Prime. I was surprised to find myself sympathizing with the landlords. Most weren't large companies but rather incidental landlords who had inherited a single property to rent out. They were devastated both financially and emotionally by tenants who refused to pay, and they couldn't legally evict them for about a year at the least.
One was a woman who let a friend, single mom with children, move in to help her leave an abusive relationship . Supposedly. After a few weeks , enough to establish tenancy, the woman changed the locks after letting the ex move in. The landlord was homeless for over a year while still paying rent ..
They do. They absolutely do. My dad rented his house out once ....never again.
My Gpa had to clear out like 20 feet of underhouse sewer pipe because the previous renters stuffed paper towels and cloth towels down every drain on their last day.
No problems before that, they always paid him on time, never complained to him about anything, he was (and still is) a believer in preventative maintanence, and would do his best to work with tenants. Still have no idea why they did that, but I'm still upset with them for doing that, partly because I was one of the people called in to help, but mostly because my Gpa is a genuinely great person and they intentionally cost him for no reason.
The mailman giving out the forwarding address is most likely doing something illegal. My wife is a retired rural mail carrier and says was rarely asked and referred them to the postmaster. There's no reason to ask, really. Any first class main goes through the system, gets a yellow sticker for the new address, and is then forwarded. This is all in the US so unsure what other mail services would do.
After a brief search no it's not illegal. TITLE 18 prevents them from talking to people about what mail is delivered to you in any way. But your mailing address is classed as public data.
Same thing in Australia, down to the yellow sticker, though I think the ones we use are a different size to the states lol
i really like cats so i almost started crying when 16:17 played.
as soon as “cat” popped up i knew it was bad.
I should’ve stayed curious 😭
5:25 as someone thats going to be a missionary for the LDS church, it disgusts me that missionaries do stuff like that. Please don’t let these hooligans ruin your view of missionaries. Not all are like that, and it would make their mission easier if people didn’t assume they are hooligans.
I wish I could upvote this comment 10K times. I hate when people's bad choices give us a bad and incorrect reputation.
@@Holychickendinner thank you, I hope lots of people see this and it starts to change their minds about missionaries.
this goes for MOST PPL. a few LOUD minorities will always spoil the groups they represent, the LGBT, Christianity, Mormonism, Judaism, Race, Disability, Leftists, Right winged, everyone. Radical bad will always outshine any good. Its annoying. You should only judge a person by the individual, they are not representative of the whole. Theyd be a whole lot less hate, bigotry, racism, and religious discrimination if we just did that. Its a start, but ppl LOVE the hate and LOVE the tyranny so it wins and it will continue to win until the collective decides it wont. Good luck trying to convince anyone of anything. Most ppl cant even agree on what pizza topping they want.
When Mormons visited me they brought cookies and were happy to debate with me in a polite way (I’m pagan so our beliefs don’t align much) they were absolutely lovely
@@azielbean787the amount of times I’ve seen lds missionaries go to different places, and talk with different people, just to be able to talk to them, is amazing. From a salsa festival around where I live, to furry food trucks. Whether they actually try to teach, just visit, or talk with people about interest they share. I really want to go on my mission in that same area as that furry food truck, just to experience. (You can suggest a place you want or go on your mission, or if you know a language, you could go somewhere that speaks that language)

After a few weeks , enough to establish tenancy, the woman changed the locks after letting the ex move in. The landlord was homeless for over a year while still paying mortgage .
Another was a man who rented below rate to help a family. Once they stopped paying it was almost 2 years of court fights and fees. When they left, they tore out the copper wiring, pipes, and hardwood floors.
Rather Opposite: My Landlord held my living situation/weaponized IT against me & my roommate…🤦♂️🤦♂️🥲🥲🖕🖕
I worked in property management for about 7 years until I couldn't take it anymore and had to leave. I did of course enjoy the good people and the professional development gained from it...but man tenants are cray cray, landlord/management companies be crazy too.
the johnny story!!! in a town near me (eagle river AK) there was a man trying to get a new back deck, so he lit a garbage can on fire on his back deck. set the entire apartment building on fire, multiple cars in the front were melted and totaled, and worst of all an elderly couple didn’t make it out. people like that sicken me, how can you not think about the possible damage you could be doing? agh
lol it cracks me up that landlord horror stories are often like “my landlord stalked me, regularly walked in without notice, stole my money, made me homeless and still drives by my new house every week” and then tenant horror stories are usually like “tenant didn’t know how their breaker box worked!” Granted sometimes they trash the place and act insane but it’s just… man the power imbalance kills me.
Bro did *not* watch the video
Umm, wait to comment until after the vid
Watch the video. Lol.
Way to cherry pick arse
I had a neighbor in the same apartment complex who used her balcony as her pugs personal bathroom. She never walked the poor thing. It was disgusting.
not a landlord but heard it from my landlord, a neighbour had painted all the walls in his flat with his own poop, the smell was terrible, he got evicted for throwing his couch out his front window bearly missed killing a group of people waiting at a bus stop below his 2nd floor front window, they sent him a letter saying he had 2 weeks to vacate the flat, he spent those 2 weeks covering everything in the flat with his poop. took the landlord a month to get rid of the smell
One set of tenants that used to rent one of my parents' properties had torn doors off their hinges when they were evicted for not paying rent for at least two months.
It took me a moment to realize but you're playing Gris is the background! I love this game since it's about the 5 stages of grief. I'm replaying it this week and seeing it on a random video is so nice :)
People do intentionally spread bed bug infections, they can be used to make a psychedelic.
Singing quietly to myself:
She's sixteen, she's jailbait, you'll do time..
This is my favorite video because it has GRIS in the background
thanks for uploading such quality content so often, i listen to these all day, they're so entertaining for the length!
My landlord thinks I’m odd because during winter I don’t use the heat, I just use a heated blanket in my bedroom and a space heater when showering. I don’t get many visitors and I’m not in a relationship
22:38 maybe it just me but I don't see a problem with mentioning he was black a least in the way it was mentioned. It did not appear to be an attempt to be racist and OP just seemed to be describing the person maybe it was something that did not need to be mentioned but there did not seem to be anything malicious about what he said or how he said it.
Yeah I honestly think narrator made it weird by trying to say it was weird
How is she supposed to rest knowing all that carbon monoxide is free to just slip on over on to her property??? BUILD THE FENCE!!!
xd
I don't see anything wrong with the tenant in Story 7. He's paying rent at a home that comes with an expectation to be able to drive to and from your home. Instead he has to pay more than he agreed to the landlord? Some third party that owns the parking space? Either way, he's been misled about the cost to live in a home where he can leave and return from work, leave and return from the grocery store able to transfer his groceries to his kitchen, etc. The landlord took advantage of him and others so he stood up for himself and who knows how many others. The only thing this tenant is guilty of is giving up before really taking it to that scumbag landlord.
The background makes me feel so hypnotized... @@ I really like tho
my dad isnt a landlord but he is a tenant and when he first moved into his house the previous tenants had dumped everything from the fridge beside the garage in the yard there was also cigarette butts and needles thrown everywhere there was even a rusted needle under the bathroom sink we searched the whole house finding so many used needles and cigarette butts and spent idk how long cleaning up the trash from the front yard my dads gfs cousin stayed with my dad and them for a bit and said she used to buy drugs from the previous tenants there and not long after my dad and his gf moved in the house had been broken into when he was taking my younger siblings home and the previous tenants boyfriend had bragged about stealing it
Story 29 bothered me just at the end. I’m a preschool teacher I don’t make a lot of money but I’m clean and very organized and feel disoriented if things are out of place I take care of things very carefully and would never leave someone else’s home that I am renting badly. I house sit, baby sit, dog sit and plant sit for many people. I’m currently in my friends home as they are on vacation for the next two weeks and I did all the dishes in there sink even though they tell me not too.
I do understand what they mean but it sucks for people like me who would take care of things and people think the worst of us because we don’t have another of money.
I found it odd that you stopped to make a comment when an OP described someone in a story as black, but not when others where described as hispanic or other nationalities. How was Johnny's hispanic heritage necessary for his story?
At least try to be a little consistent.
Now do the tenants.
What is that game being played in the background? Looks fun.
Thank you so much for your video.
love your videos ❤
Was the guy from story 7 Greg Cipes?
dont you have to pay an amount, th3 size of 2-3 months rent, beforehand in the us. you get that money back if the house is being given back on the same state
It depends on the landlord. I lived in a terrible apartment complex with hundreds of units for only a year that charged us more than our deposit for "cleaning", but had receipts so there was nothing we could do about it. I lived in other apartments with fewer units that returned most or all of the deposit.
i got halfway through this and did a search for 'best tenant stories' or 'i had the perfect tenant' stories and...can't find them. i'm a renter and i try to be a good tenant.
it's because negative stuff gets more traction than good.
There are some but very few replies. For instant this particular Reddit thread has over 5K comments. There are a few Reddit threads about good tenants with 30 comments, 35 comments, 74 comments, 26 comments, 142 comments and one that asked about good horror stories had 663. All of the threads of the good stuff barely even compare to the top Reddit thread about bad tenants (and that's just the highest one, there are other bad ones with lots of comments, too.)
I want a Kate thread
Bro describes a person and bro is like "that just wasn't necessary" lmao. Bro thought real hard abt that one
If the Red Cross did that much for youn I hope you donated to them later!
Can’t watch this time, i’ve got a stream to watch, I still love your content 🎉🎉🎉🎉
22:29 Narrator can't hande a description of someone literally no one else had a problem with it, obv the OP didn't have any malicious intent by adding that
Unrelated to the stories...what's the game? It looks fun
Gris. It's pretty fun.
*man's *he'll *she's *there's *won't *that's
Does anyone know what the game is playing in the background? 😅
Someone posted it in the comments 😁
S6 or 5 yes she's manipulative some ways but op is trying too hard
Right, who cares if he was Black OR muscular. WTF? Is that supposed to mean "scary"???
JEEEEEEE!!! ❤❤❤❤
When my brother in law worked for an apartment complex hed hire me my brother and one other person to clean out this one apartment a heroine addict was in and that place was gross roaches everywhere trash pilled high to the roof in every room it was horrible it took us forever to clean it out oh and when we did clean it out me and my brother in law went in fixing it up and when he went to clean a fan light fixture a heroine needle fell on him with eroine in it and we had to call the cops 0/10 dont recommend
Did you seriously have a problem with him giving a description of the roommate? There’s nothing wrong with saying a person is black, white, green for the sake of describing. Do you have a problem with black people? You made it very awkward by making a point of calling that out, dude. Very cringy
What game is that?
Gris. It's on Steam
I'm really trying to like your videos but I'm getting an ad every 3-4 minutes not fun while at work t
Ok but what game is this
Gris. It's on Steam.
The biggest horror story is tenants not paying their rent or bills…having a roof over your head ain’t free, ain’t nothing free in this world.
Ps. I’m not a landlord, I’m just tired of people complaining they want free housing
better question would be landlord horror stories. they are the spawn of satan.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nice calling dude out about mentioning the muscular BLACK guy narrator 👍🏿
this whole vids cap not sayiong the p;erson dubing is bad guy but these stories are fake
was not expecting to see gameplay footage of Gris in the background. beautiful game fr fr
THANK YOU. I've been dying to know what game this is, thanks for naming it.
Over a decade ago, when the real estate market was sluggish, my mom decided to rent out her city condo after she inherited a house in the suburbs. A few months into the 12-month lease, Tenant was late on rent. Not a huge problem; my mom was still able to make the mortgage because the inherited house was free and clear (and because my mom is too nice). Then, for three entire months, my mom couldn't get a hold of Tenant. Texts went unread and phone calls went straight to voicemail. Tenant didn't answer the door. Then, suddenly, Tenant turned back up like nothing had happened. Turns out she'd gotten a DUI and a 90-day jail sentence because it wasn't her first offense. She was flippant about the charges and ANGRY that my mom had called her emergency contact about five days in to ask if she should report Tenant missing. My mom had been worried that something bad had happened, so at that point she was just relieved that Tenant was alive and well. She forgave the missing months' rent and said they'd just start clean, with no hard feelings. Tenant repaid her kindness by trashing the place, skipping out on the rest of the lease, moving out of state, and marrying some random dude so she could change her last name. I found her because at the time my job included tracking down debtors, but my mom didn't want to compound her problems by pursuing back rent or charges. (Like I said, my mom is too nice!) She decided she was done being a landlord, and the condo was on the market as soon as we could get the place cleaned up.
That’s sounds horrible for your mum she must of been really stressed about it all.
@@nathanlynch9634 She just doesn't have it in her to be a hardass. It's better she isn't a landlord anymore!
Horrible tenants!
Heyo I'd like to request a small little thing for the description, that you guys mark what games you show in the background!
A few of those looked really intriguing so far and it's a shame they are not mentioned.
If you want to know the game in the background it's called 'Gris'
Other games like it are 'Ori and The Blind Forest' and 'Hollow Knight'
@@itz_kokiHollow Knight is one of my favorite games. I just had to mention it lol
@@itz_koki Oh my, thank you so much!
Yeah, no - someone who is off his meds threatening to burn someone's house down and swinging around a samurai sword beside someone's car is absolutely a danger to that someone (the OP for that story brushing the crazy dude off as just being theatrical is an idiot for thinking he's harmless just because the crazy dude didn't directly threaten them. It's that kind of mindset that ends up with someone getting seriously hurt).
they DEF needed help and i hope they're not just wandering around homeless someplace. He should have been sent to a mental hospital for care. Woulda called Adult services for sure.
Ohh god it’s usually the landlords being from hell
how the turn tables
@@SharkFromTheDepthsyes in deed they have
Honestly id be surprised if it wasnt more tenants from hell than there are landlords but most just dont talk about them except to inform other landlords if contacted but that could be the wrong sentiment
Now we know where they come from
@@spyroXcynder1000 they just wanted to fell like the other person TEH devil
When I was around 14-15 my mom and I decided to move from our rural town into the big city, thinking that it'd be convenient to have everything closer to where we lived, plus more opportunities for my future. My mom kept our old home for a time after we moved and decided to rent it out to earn some extra money.
A family of four move into our old house - a couple of late-20's and their two children, one being a toddler. Things went alright at first, but over time I kept overhearing my mom venting about how the couple would either be late on paying their rent, or not pay at all. Eventually she decided to have them evicted when I was around 16, and the two of us went to the house to get it ready for new tenants.
The state of the place was horrifying: Trash bags everywhere, carpet in the bedrooms needed complete replacements due to stains of unknown origin (and of several different colors, mind you), and the stench was so bad that I had to out into the garden and get clean air into my lungs ever 30 minutes (also the grass had grown so much, we believed they rarely, if ever mowed it).
I was horrified to see my childhood home in the state it was in, and I honestly worried about the well-being of that couple's kids. It took my mom and I a whole week to get the place cleaned out and ready for sale again.
Idly wondering if the descriptor of the muscular silent guy being black would have still been a problem if he _hadn't_ also been a criminal...
I'm from the future. Let's just say a guy that gave off murderer vibes was described being white did NOT register on the narrator's radar.
Not a landlord, but the last apartment I lived in before buying a house, the tenant downstairs was CONSTANTLY complaining about the noise from us just walking around normally. We weren't loud at all. They just complained every time there was a slight floorboard creak. The landlord had to send contractors into our apartment multiple times to rip up the floorboards and do work on them at their demand. Was extremely aggravating to us and, I presume, the landlord.
I don't understand those people. I couldn't care less about boards creaking and normal noises. My mom's upstairs neighbors I swear they run on their heels, all. Day. Long. Like the walls shake, they've knocked pictures off the walls, and they'll blast music at 3 in the morning. I wish she had someone that just made normal noise
i lived in a building like this. heard every step of the people above us, and the people below heard every step from us…
the people below thought this gave them carte blanche to make as much noise as they wanted, whenever they wanted. yeah… luckily my landlord wouldn’t renew their lease. apparently everyone else in the building complained about them
Watching to make sure my family isn't someone's renter from hell story.
I'm pretty good, it was my wife (now ex thankfully) who caused the issues. Just blowing money, saying she paid bills but then stuff would get turned off, she even claimed that her brother who owned the house had broken in and stolen the rent receipts, and on and on. I went along with it because she was my wife, why would she lie about this stuff? Because she was drinking, mostly.
Claim your "here within an hour ticket" here if you want to
thankyou, does it come with a discounted iced cofee???
(idk why i said iced coffee, i cant have caffine)
@@kyle18934 it comes with two :D
The reason la dlords can't all be like the landlord in story 6 is precisely because of people like the subjects of all these stories.
Been watching every single hour long video. Something to listen to while at work.
17:50
Addict: "Are you the drug dealer?"
- "No, i'm the drug counselor."
Addict: *hissing noises*
Story 4, yes it's illegal, and the landlord can go after them even if it's past the deadline to claim damages because it was hidden not to mention malicious.
Story two sounds like a friend of my husband. A realtor who owns a lot of rental properties in Northern Colorado.
Calling out the op for mentioning the dude was black is weird. It's like calling someone out for mentioning the dude had black hair.
Fr thats exactly what i was thinking. I mean, its just a description. Nothing inherently racist about saying that.
Game in background is GRIS (highly recommended)
Thank you!
Thank you
Calm down🤣🤣🤣 bruh if dude is a big muscular black dude then that's called "detail" I too am a larger muscular black dude and trust me it ain't that serious
I read it as a descriptor. Now apparently describing someone is an issue for this narrator. Which is weird
47:48 I shouldn’t have laughed here lol 😂😂😂
47:47 Dammit, Underspark, you got ice tea coming out my nose for that remark.😂
hey i got iced tea too!
35:37 “its my fault for letting in someone in with three cats” immediately followed by “the cats were not the problem and she kept them very clean” typical landlord logic
I mean a single woman with multiple cats is a red flag
@@Scrap_Goblin why
My gram passed away, we rented her house after renovating it. A few years later the original tenants decided to move and not tell me. The laws in our area say that you can't show up whenever you want so you can go 1 time a year unless you're doing repairs or there is an emergency. Well they never told me when something broke and there was never an emergency so I'd go once a year to check things out. It was fine for 5 years, year 6 they'd moved out, subleased the house and when I went other visit that year my mom (who was the actual owner but lived out of state) went with me. We were so mad. There were 15 people living in the house, it was just over 1000sqft so a small house with 1.5 baths, so not nearly enough for 15 people. In the year since I'd been there the original tenant built a bathroom and converted the garage into 2 bedrooms and built a little shack in the back (I say shack but it was actually pretty well built, but not up to code and not permitted). my mom blamed me, like I would have been able to prevent that, it was all done in less than a year and mostly interior so I wouldn't have seen it if I drove by and I did drive by on occasion but from the outside it looked normal and there weren't tons of cars so I didn't think it was that crowded, anyway. When we got into the house the dish washer was crooked and they said it didn't work. I asked why they didn't say anything, they said well we just wash the dishes by hand anyway. The hood over the stove didn't work either, I asked about that and they said we don't know. I was like, why didn't any of you tell me, I knew these people. I wasn't friends with them but I'd met them years before the original tenant lived in the house. They were friends of friends. I went on Facebook and looked up the tenant, he'd moved out of the country a few months before and didn't tell me. This caused a huge fight with my mom and I. They were paying the rent, they'd deposit it in the bank, the bank was 5 mins away so they never sent a check or anything and the bank doesn't tell you who's depositing cash, just that you have cash in your account so I didn't know they were living there. It wasn't a whole year either, just a few months and legally I had no right/reason to go in. The place was super dirty, not like trash all over but the walls were so dirty, looked like dirty hand prints all over.
My mom wanted to sell the house, that's why she was there visiting. She lost $100,000 on the price due to the damage and undermined structures. She had to sell for so much less because she didn't have the money to fix it and no one would pay full market value. She blamed me. We couldn't even sue the renters since they were out of the country and haven't come back.
My cousin (my mom's age) inherited my great uncles house, he has me doing property management for him and so far things are better. The renters send videos on occasion of the inside (we both live out of state) and last year I was able to go visit in person and the house looked as nice as it did when we rented it. They actually fixed up the yard a bit, something we didn't do since money was tight after renovation the interior and replacing the roof. They've lived there 5 years and we've had 0 issues. There are 5 people in this slightly bigger house and they're good tenants. When the dishwasher broke the one tenant is a plumber, he fixed it and told me how much the part was and I said cool, we discussed his payment, which he was like, eh I don't want anything and I said, I'll still pay you because I would have had to pay someone else. And he deducted the amount we agreed upon from the next months rent. I feel lucky with them. They're grateful for the nice house, which is 2 mins from the wife's job and 10 mins from their son and his family and I'm grateful they care about the house and don't think, well it's not mine I don't care. But the renters of my grams house, I know it could have been worse but omg it was heartbreaking to see her house like that and the fight it caused with my mom. We still don't speak (partly because of this).
Really enjoyed this one. I like to read as well as listen and I LOVE the background you used in this, the other wizzing, zooming and spining makes me disoriented and when it is really bad I just give up, so keep up the gentler backgrounds and I will carry on logging in 😊 good job!
Story 20 reminded me of a French movie about an apartment building that gets infested with an exotic species of aggressive spiders that just keep getting bigger and bigger. The 60-ish year old Asian landlady/cleaner is not the protagonist, but damn if she doesn't steal every scene she's in, and escalate things almost as fast as the spiders, stopping just short of making a flamethrower before she gets spider'd.
I have a story for this. I worked on an eviction case where our client was evicting a tenant due to behavior (loud arguments late at night, believed to be doing drugs in the apartment, etc). While we were waiting for the eviction to go through the courts, one of the other tenants told mentioned the police showed up in full body armor. When our office looked into it, we found out that the police were there as a backup for Homeland Security and the FBI, because Homeland Security had an arrest warrant and the FBI had a search warrant. During the course of the search, they had found more than 30 illegally own weapons on the property and took him into custody. To this day I wonder what happened to that case and what he did to alert Homeland Security
Non Mormon Mormons are par for the course, especially for missionaries since most have just reached adulthood and are away from their overly strict parents for the first time ever. It’s kinda like Mormon Rumspringa (only it’s not officially sanctioned).😂
Didnt know satan had enough time to write these
“Why did you mention that he is black” Because it’s funny. It adds comedic tone to the story. Get a grip, dude 😆
Story 15: What does "devout Christians" have to do with anything? All it does is make the story sound fake because it makes the writer sound like he has an axe to grind.
It's often mentioned because bad people love using Christianity as a cover for their actions

In today's age, why would a rental unit NOT include a parking spot?
And then why would you have to pay extra for the spot? I'd be pissed too.
Yeah that tenant was manipulative but the real issue is how OP let themselves be manipulated SO many times!
Wow the crazy lady with the cat door.....you just kept giving and giving to her and gave her absolutely everything she wanted. That's why she does this...bc people do as she says. 😂
In my neighborhood loud music guy would come home one day to find his stereo and sound equipment smashed and burned.
I’m glad this is getting monetized and all but why are there SO MANY ads?!
Edit to correct a typo
As the son of former landlords (we rented out rooms for a few years), we had one extremely nice lady who was part of the first wave of tenants and was the second last to go. She attended the local college, graduated, stayed in the area, got married, had a kid. We run into her from time to time.
Of the three people who came with her… two got into a DV situation and moved out very soon afterward. The third guy lasted 2 months before he left the country. No idea what happened to any of them.
One other tenant (a family of rich people) bought their own place after a summer with us, and the other ran up our water/electricity bill. We asked him nicely to tone it down (ie not wash two items at a time and waste our money because we covered water usage) and he just moved out at the end of the month. We figured having the house to ourselves at that point wasn’t the worst thing and stopped renting. That was like 5-6 years ago now.
Considering we were charging like $550 at a time where a 1 bed and bath would cost you $1200, I’m starting to wonder if we should have charged more.
Your mom was so wrong blaming you for not knowing what you couldn’t check!! If she inherited the house- she didn’t have to pay anything but taxes ( guessing your GM owned the house). She didn’t loose $100k- she never had it in the bank- it was the house value. Still she blaming you if you can only come in once a year and not knowing the others have moved. They all were in the wrong! The sub-leaders probably didn’t know it wasn’t all on the up and up with the owners- Thank goodness your cousin is so much better to you! Rentals are a lot sometimes.
Not me, but evidently the people I bought my house from were landlords. The house was put up for sale after being reanovated from a fire and extensive smoke damage. While the official report was that it was an electrical fire, my neighbor said that when she came home that day, the master bedroom window was out, and the matress was on the ground. She mused that the actual cause of the fire was someone smoking in bed.
a friend bought a place to put her business in, and her husband left her 2 months later, so there she is with 2 properties and half the family income, raising a kid. the business was just getting off the ground so was barely covering expenses so she decided to slap some paint on the upstairs unit and move a tenant in. the tenant paid first and last, and nothing else. the tenant then moves in a few extra people not listed on the lease. it's november and the landlord can't legally evict in Canada over the winter so she is stuck with this girl until spring. When the tenant is finally removed from the unit, my friend discovers that rather than taking the garbage out, the woman just threw the full bags of garbage into the bedroom and slept on the couch instead. the bedroom was full of rotting maggot filled trash, the unit was infested with bedbugs, and once the bedroom got full, the tenant just started piling garbage up by the bedroom door...not necessarily in a bag. As if that wasn't enough fun, there was a shooting, nobody harmed but the door had a big hole in it and no longer locked. The tenant had opted to lean a chair against it instead. Several dumpsters and a fumigation later (not to mention having to shut the business so it can be treated at the same time), she ended up selling the unit and dropping the business, because she just couldn't manage financially. It's a true shame as her store was great, and it technically would have made enough to maintain had it not been for the tenant from hell costing her legal, garbage removal, extermination and restoration fees.

41:59 I live in Austin, where sxsw is held. By the way, it's South by Southwest.
Anyway, I remember the sword guy. I remember that very well. That was intense. It was all over the news for like 2 weeks here in Austin when it happened
Yeah renting is a terrible idea unless you’re extremely wealthy and own multiple buildings so you can offset the cost of terrible tenants. The amount of people who think buying one house to rent out is a good way to make money don’t know what they’re getting into.
The Mormon one is shocking. I've lived in utah for nearly 20 years now. Not only is it the most lawabiding boring place i've ever lived, even the gangs and meth heads are polite (as long as you're minding your own business)
I do nor wonder why banks are picky about loaning. It's not just about money but how gross some of these people are. I'm shocked they do not check more into renting experinces and being dirty.
Why would a grow house not have snow on the roof?
Plants need very specific temperature regulation and the constant heat to maintain it would heat the entire house (including the roof) melting ice and snow. That would be my guess.
Wait... crawling around the front yard with a shotgun isn't normal? Fuck. My neighbors must think I'm crazy.
