    I'm a landlord. I told my tenants, just do the best you can, and we'll get through this together.
    But we are a small operation, just me and my wife, and our income has been cut in half by this pandemic, not counting the rental property. I don't see an eviction or a foreclosure in our future, but I know a lot of people that are not going to be so lucky. And most corporations, really aren't going to have any ethics or empathy.

    I was evicted by self-help methods because my girlfriend and landlady got in a pretty minor argument. Locks were changed with all our belongings inside that day while we were at work, police finally came 3 days later, searched me, and gave us 15 minutes to pack essentials. Couldn't get the rest of our stuff for almost a month.
    In civil court I studied hard did everything right, even had a ton of supporting evidence.
    On our court date when our case was called we were instructed to go to a different court room and judge. Only us, for our case.
    In that empty court room, after my opening statement summarizing all that happened, citing 5 or 6 tenant's rights that she violated, and stating that I had evidence to support every claim I made, I was stopped and told by the judge that, and yes I quote: "those laws don't actually really hold up in court".
    I was not allowed to make further statements or show ANY of my evidence and the case was thrown out.
    This was in Santa Cruz, CA.

      I had a similar experience with a commercial property dispute. I am a small business owner for a year and half the owner ever fix the roof and it turned into black mold. After pay rent I just got tried and stop paying rent. We ended up in court and the judge refuse to view evidence. We ended up doing a settlement for the eviction case. This is in Chicago Illinois.
      Not a problem, this time I am going to file a complaint against owner for intent of fraud and call the media to attend the court hearing. I have any even bigger case, the scumbag landlord decided to change locks without sheriff schedule during Covid19 where theres a state order for no evictions in place. This time I will sue him for back rent and damages.

    The best news story I ever saw come out of this mess was when a landlord in Los Angeles - Saturn Management - sent an email blast to their 300 tenants reminding them rent was still due, but inadvertently used CC instead of BCC, which allowed the tenants to communicate with each other and organize a building-wide rent strike, all via email.

    • @Matchgirl42
      @Matchgirl42 4 года назад +22

      @@hurotiz If a landlord can't pay the mortgage without the tenant's rent, then they shouldn't have bought the building(s) in the first place. In this particular case it's a professional landlord/rental company, they should have reserves and if not they should have better luck getting a loan than an individual landlord would. It'll be okay. And if not, then perhaps the tenant's can buy their building(s) at a distressed price and turn it into a co-op. The point being there's options for the tenants and if a landlord leverages themselves that badly then they deserve no pity.

    • @hurotiz
      @hurotiz 4 года назад +15

      ​@@Matchgirl42 You think that all landlords should be responsible for letting their tenants off rent free because "If a landlord can't pay the mortgage without the tenants rent, then they shouldn't have bought the building in the first place." That's the most self centered thing I've ever heard. I could say the same thing about renters: If a person can't afford to pay rent when they don't have a job then they shouldn't be living in an apartment. Many small landlords may not make a lot of money, and that may conflict with your views that all landlords must be evil corporate overlords. But to say that they shouldn't have bought the property because they can't afford to run a business that depends on people paying rent on a regular basis as the main means of income is... really ignorant. I understand that some landlords are being complete dicks right now, and that's on them. But what isn't on most landlords is a need to pay their bills, people who can't pay their rent aren't alone and blaming landlords because they need to pay theirs is simple finger pointing. There's no good solution to this problem and tenants are the ones that will suffer the most because in many cases, if tenants can't afford to pay their rents, they won't have the money to form co-ops, if bigger businesses get hold of those properties, it will be even worse. You might think that your sticking it to the man, but what your really doing is just sticking it to yourself.

      Casual Ninja renter shouldn’t rent if they’re relying solely on the tenants to keep their business afloat. You’re providing housing not a business. Treat it as giving people a necessity not a business.
      Half the time, the landlord isn’t even in the same state, so they could give two shits about a person they’ve never met face-to-face.
      A roof over someone’s family’s head shouldn’t be viewed in the same spectrum of a Netflix subscription. “If you can’t afford it then don’t live in a house”.
      Accountability and empathy seem to be key, lacking, qualities required to be a landlord it seems.

    My family and I got evicted from our duplex in 2015 and was homeless until 2018. It was myself as a teen, my pre-teen sister, my infant brother, and my unemployed mom (my dad walked out on us and was the only worker at the time). We lived in hotels until savings ran out, shelters, our car, and stayed in other people's houses until we could find our own. It took a long time to not only find a place cheap enough for a single parent of three to afford but a job my mom could feasibly get despite the large amount of time she had spent being a housewife. It was extremely difficult and it still affects me today. I hurt for these people who are suffering from something they can't control. A lot of people hear about homelessness and just think it's druggies or they want to be there or maybe it's their fault, and for some people it is, but homelessness is rarely a choice, and it is very draining to deal with. Please be kind and patient with these people and don't just dismiss them because you're in a stable place.

The worst part is the homes are usually in disrepair and the "owners" pay those repair costs, increasing the value of the home, only to be evicted down the road.

It's true that the liberal states have more first world areas and even some of the conservative states do as well, but the truth is between the big city and the rich areas - it's poverty. Barely affordable homes. Abandoned town centers which are boarded up and this is before Covid-19. Many factories lay empty and broken abandoned when the globalization began. There's poverty in some areas that make 3rd world countries look good. Like in Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, upstate New York, abandoned areas in Ohio and Michigan. From Florida to California. The United States has drug gangs, lots of abandoned homes and businesses, poverty that would break your heart. Many of these areas are weirdly conservative and justify their poverty, but have high levels of suicide and drug use. Many parts are so broken that should the world see it. You would understand why this empire is on decline. It has been since the 1980s. Roads with crater like potholes. Cities falling apart. Apartments that are overpriced and rotting from the inside out. It's horrifying at times. America isn't a great shining hill, it's a depressing rotting husk gilded by the ruling class to look like paradise... It's a lie... One that Trump howls to the masses. One that the conservatives rally to in order to justify killing people in the Middle East, Africa and in South America. All they have is broken dreams and broken homes....

    This was so helpful. I’m reading up like crazy about tenancy law. My husband was laid off from a really good job in March due to COVID-19, been on unemployment and we have exhausted all government supplements and savings to continue paying full rent until now. We had to make the difficult decision to inform our landlord that we can only pay 50% of rent for the foreseeable future until we can secure employment. This more than covers his property taxes but thinks we don’t know that. We stated we are fully aware that the debt will accrue and we will work with the landlord on payments (btw we have maintained full transparency on our situation since March). He had said the NJ rent moratorium ‘doesn’t apply to him’ and we have to leave immediately and find somewhere else. His voice messages are becoming increasingly more aggressive so we have left it in the hands of the law now. I am honestly scared his will become violent and I don’t want us to face eviction. We have tried to do all we can, we sympathize with him but its kind of hard when he is behaving so terribly and has 3 Mercedes sitting on his driveway and no other rental properties. He also makes no effort to look up what homeowner grants are available to him or mortgage referral even though I provide him with this information. It’s like talking to a brick wall. I fear this situation is only going to get worse and worse for many in the months to come.

    To be honest... This is quite possibly the best episode of Patriot Act I've ever seen since it's inception. Life changing, to the point, solid punchlines... this material is honestly so important for everyone to know. This really cements the idea that it takes a village to raise a child and more generally, a family. And a responsible landlord recognizes his importance to that family with the balance of what that means financially. Tough decisions are made, and one's morals are tested... without exception

The eviction process will take about 8 weeks after giving the 14 day notice, so I think tenants have enough protection around where I live.

So far, this is the only show that use to be in front of an audience that is actually better without it. Plus being in front of a green screen with the facts coming up as overlays is much better than a stage with a screen behind him.

    As an Aussie, I'm so thankful we had a government that made sound decisions that ensured everyone got help as quickly as we did.
    We passed moratorium on all rental properties for min 6 months dependant on covid-19, forced banks to freeze interest rates, mortgage debt, increased small business loans and guaranteed that they would back the banks fiscally if they froze all debts for 6 months. They also increased social security payments to a min of $1100 per fortnight, assisted SMEs by assisting in payments for employees, by paying each business owner a min $1500 per fortnight per employee, and mandating that payments are passed down to employees completely by tracking all payments via the Australian Tax Office through the standardised payroll client all companies must use.
    We shut non essential services until we flattened the curve, have now opened those sectors and have now opened up the country within 2 months, have only had 100 deaths, 0 new cases in 14 days across the country and can see us coming out the other side.

    The lack of a studio audience made me think about when Patriot Act got accused of using a laugh track, and in response made up an "audience" using one brown uncle to supply all the laughter and heckling. Hasan should consider boarding him in his own home, with Beena and the baby, through the quarantine, so Uncle can be the studio audience again. 😂
    Jokes aside, although I miss the studio audience (and will especially miss the banter in Deep Cuts) I'm so grateful y'all found a way to continue production despite everything.
