True story. My ex-best friend lived in a very nice apartment Uptown. Her rent was $17 (seventeen dollars) per month. She was on Section 8. At the time she had 2 children. Only stipulation was she couldn't have anyone living with her. She moved her children's father in the apartment. HUD came by and did a surprise inspection and could tell a man lived there. She told HUD she can have whoever she wanted to live with her. She was evicted. Clearly one of the dumbest decisions of her life.
Does anyone remember the lady on JJ who was on section 8 paid $100 ea. Month.and still didn't pay her rent and got evicted?! I'd follow whatever rules they have to pay such a low amount for housing.
How are are people being paid 12.50/ hr.??? The fact that he has to have multiple jobs to survive really says something about the way this country is run.
Ummmm wtf? $12.50 hourly in a big city is peanuts. New York City rents are outrageous. Landlords are desperately trying to get rid of rent-controlled places there because they lose money. I wonder when this episode originally aired because rents are jacked sky high in NYC now.
Yes! ive spoken about this before on here. Housing fraud is insane here in NYC. They do this all the time on the upper east side, and upper west side and the projects. Charging $1000 a room in a 3 bedroom apartment when the rent is based on 30% of the income of whose on the lease and usually the only person on the lease is a senior on Social Security.
That's crazy here in San Antonio, I worked for our housing authority and during inspections if they notice anything like this your kicked off and put in jail for fraud. But this case is crazy
"if you dont do the right thing its comes back to hurt" true words from a wise woman I cant believe the self control JJ has when it comes to shady individuals I couldnt help myself to tell her off and more
Landlords desperate to speed up an eviction will use this tactic many times to get the courts to expeditiously remove the tenant. It happened to me years ago, landlady wanted me gone for reporting her to housing code enforcement and started an eviction. She out the blue called the police one day saying I threatened her life and needed a restraining order. The police told her to get cameras at the property since they had no evidence. She was livid and told them it would be too expensive for her to install.
So because she was doing something illegal , she doesn’t deserve protection? That’s not how the law or life works. He was possibly violent she was not violent.
Yes the are. My friend just moved out of a complex because they raised her rent to $1,500 for a one br and started accepting Section 8. The apartment isn’t nice enough for market rate tenants to be willing to pay that much but the Section 8 tenants don’t pay the full amount. The government pays it. The owner is making a bunch more money. I had a similar experience at an apartment complex years ago. Once the owner started accepting Section 8, it became very difficult for the rest of us to live there. But they weren’t evicting the problematic people. Before long most of the prior tenants had moved out.
@@anndeecosita3586 Maybe but the trend is more and more landlords don't want section 8. In Atlanta 50% of those approved can't find a landlord who will accept them there forced to live intent cities
There are people who have been abusing the system forever. The real and PRIMARY reason landlords are refusing program rent at higher rates now is because of housing market demand: higher demand means you can charge more and you have more potential tenants to choose from. Programs like Sect 8 put a cap on how much rent u can charge. It's more profitable to NOT participate.
Authorities need to crack down on illegal renting of rent control housing!! Enough is enough - get off your arse and get additional job if you need more money !!!
You’re a hateful person . You are why America has no morals and is unkind. We force women to have their babies but hate them when they get help. You’re a monster. You have no empathy. Probably a psychopath.
What taxpayer money? She was not getting a handout she was in a rent controlled apt. Her rent was frozen at th amount hen move in years ago. Don’t you know the difference? Of course you don’t.
No, that's more like public housing, she would have paid less on Section 8. Edit: ooops, never mind, I just realized we are talking two bedroom apartment here, $309 could be right.
him having three jobs workibg hard to pay his bills and rent is wonderful and still bittersweet because he shouldn’t need 3 jobs to survive and whole time she was illegally charging him. thts gross
How bad is JJs math here? You can't just go 500 - 300 to get to 200 x 10 to $2000. If they sue individually, you'd have to assume they'd split the 300 too, so should be 500 - 150 for $3500 due to the plaintiff, roommate would get the same amount

It’s not a section 8 apartment, it’s rent controlled. Probably one of the last rent controlled apartments in NYC. She’s been there 20 yrs. I used to live in a tent stabilized apartment which are getting harder to find as well here. You can sublet your rent controlled/ rent stabilized apartment but I believe there is a cap on how much you can charge someone.
They still have rent controlled apartments but in the worst neighborhoods of NYC. I was born, raised and still live there. It's sad that people do things like this.
She wasn't in section 8. She had a regular apartment with Rent Control. Rent control was available in NYC in the 70s to keep the landlord for raising the rent too much. She probably inherited the apartment from her parents since Rent control is not available to any new tenants for a long time. Those who had Rent control can keep the apartment until they die or their kids can inherit it.
I live in New York and around 2010 I worked full time for the Parks Department and was getting paid 9.50 a hour! Each check which was bi weekly wasn't enough especially being in a union and getting at least 100 something dollars taken away each check from the New York State!
if you're on JJ and you're innocent, you don't have to try cuz she'll 100% protect you. and if you're on JJ and you're guilty, you also don't have to try cuz she'll 0% fall for your bs 💅
I have lived in nice illegal sublets in manhattan and didnt complain. The rent was $586 I paid $500. Another place i paid $350 and the rent was $594. I was thankful to get affordable rent.
When I was a kid, I lived in this place, we had a neighbor who we think was running a day care center out of her apartment. I highly doubt she had a license.
Why would she do something that was illegal? Because she didn't care that it was illegal, duh! I speed sometimes when I drive, it's illegal, but IDGAF and will tell anyone who asks that I do it. ...And that shouldn't shock or surprise anyone.
I understand it's illegal, however he is just as guilty to me because it sounds like he knew it was illegal and took advantage also. I think that because she says he could stay until he found another apartment. He was getting a good deal even though she was making money off it.
the only reason he found such affordable rent was because it had been rent controlled for 20 years! People today do not get the same opportunities as they did in the past, and they have to do what they can to find an affordable home.
@Tamia Graves I didn't hear that he said he didn't know it was rent controlled. Plus he knew he had a good deal from what he spoke about. Welp...whatever.
@CraiiZeD oh yeah agree 100%. He should have not $h!t on her though. To me he (and the other girl she rented the room to) wanted to get her in trouble because their meal ticket was pulled and wanting to come back home. Again i know it's illegal, but what would anyone do? They benefited also, they only got mad when they could not benefit anymore. Yep, good old judge judy holding up the laws of the land 🙄. Idk, I'm torn on this case.
The issue here is the defendant’s credibility is shot because she just admitted what she did was illegal all he has to say is I didn’t know and it’d be believable the defendant would have to prove that he knew
