When in fact, the money is made only when you SELL the property. I've seen more people lose it all because they raised the rent because the "market" supported it.

      She can get a copy of the letter from HUD that would state the results of the inspection. Once she has that, she can contact the news crew again and see if people would like to help her with the repairs. Also, find out if the Landlord wants to increase the rent and did they submit the request for an increase to HUD. I understand where the Landlord is coming from, wanting her out (just because they do) and I understand where the tenant is coming from, sick in zero position to leave. Unfortunately, you being sick doesn't guarantee housing. It's a sad situation. This is why home ownership is so valuable.

      because unless you are a homeowner and rent property do not judge. As a landlord sometimes the repairs are not necessary and just ridiculous. I don't have time to name some of them but it could be replacing something so idk it's energy efficient when that may require a full renovation. They have the same checklist that are used in apartment buildings which is ridiculous again. The way she has kept up with the house I would have advocated for her. what probably happens is landlord refused so they said oh well stop paying. But this is something he could have asked extension on etc.

    My prayers are with Bobbie and her family and may she get well soon and this is so sad. I hope that she will get to stay in your house for the rest of her life.

      More then likely the repairs aren't major. Unfortunately, repairmen don't work for free. Everyone wants to be a landlord but don't know squat about how to repair anything. 🤣😂🤣
