- Rising rent and a severe shortage of affordable housing are the hallmarks of our looming eviction crisis, highlighting the plight of some of the valley's most vulnerable citizens.
A landlord does not have the responsibility to support his/her tenants. He/she DOES have the responsibility to keep the property in good repair.
Never give anyone money without getting a receipt. When the landlord only wants to be paid in cash and he does not give you a receipt that is a red flag.
Another red flag is if he doesn't want anyone to know that he's a landlord
You are soooo true 👍
Or maybe he s tired of bad.checks.
red flag.....but......IF YOUR GUEST COMES IN AND FALLS THREW THE FLOOR.. nuclear flag?
You know you need to take a good hard look at your life when you are paying rent to a rat.
cash means no tax, the landlord should be caught by IRS
Yep, game’s over for the landlord featured in this video.
@@BoogieBoyBronx bound to happen sooner or later...
Or cash means no check bounced.

@@mistervo8185 cash wires right away the no receipt is what concerns me
I'm about to retire and my plan was to sell my house and get an RV to enjoy the country in. Now with Covid, housing shortages and incredible rent I'm keeping my paid off house and just staying home. RV parks have doubled or more their space rent. $60-$90. a night. Forget it, I'm staying in my paid off house till l rot.
I'm in the exact same spot!, was looking at cashing out my paid off home and purchasing an RV but with all these restrictions, fuel prices, mandates and uneasiness in so many States I'm sitting on the sideline!✌
@@Jason-lk1ko yes, think you are smart - keep that house; there is a slew of YTube RV'ers and just this week, one young man gave up on the lifestyle... I hear a lot of parks etc., are rising prices due to the surge of new RV'ers; and I just read about a woman in LA who sold her house $500,000 above asking price but her dilemma is, she can't afford another place due to so many selling well over initial asking price.
I paid off my house and staying put and not financing anything else.
We are too. Halfway through paying off our mortgage and then we will reside right where we are.
Good decision. Its a blessing to have a house paid off!
My heart goes out for this gentleman but did he reach out to social services? That place is in no condition for his wife to stay in. Maybe they can find him suitable housing.
I'm a landlord, a landlord has to keep their property maintained. but sometimes the tenant don't say anything, sometimes things gets bad because a landlord doesn't know because their not told.
@@johnniebeavers I’m a landlord also and that is so true. When people don’t pay rent or don’t want you in the unit. Many states require you to notify the landlord in writing.
The 'wife' is definitely a vulnerable adult seeing her bandaged up, emaciated and laying on that floor. With all these people involved in this complaint did ANY of them seek social services to step in for this woman for possible medical and physical neglect?
I suspect she might be on SSI and the 'husband' needs that check. She MIGHT be on state Medicaid and they are paying him up to 40 hours a week to provided attendant care as her caregiver which he needs that money, too. Seeing her in this condition, on the floor with vermin and insects, sinking floors and falling in walls I think an Adult Protective Service report should be made. If she doesn't have Medicaid she will qualify and they will provide Long Term Care to get her into a safe environment, physician and nursing visits and a clean safe place at least while all this apartment mess is being rectified.
13 Investigates totally dropped the ball on this one. They filmed her in this condition and did NOTHING to provide support. They should have at least reported this to APS (Adult Protection Service) and let them make an informed recommendation.
Ya dont cont on that they dont care at all I have it trust me I wish I didn't need help because if I try to help myself and get a job I cannot make more then 83$ a month or I get fined
@Here Wego ya I cant get a job do to ssi I make more then 83$ a month I get fined and need to pay back whatever I made over 83$.
I make 700 a month and thats all I have to live off of I went from a 500$ a month 1 bedroom apartment to my moms floor at this point i told ssi to f off my life has been way easier since then.
I make 900 a month now at a job 300 more then ssi was paying me oh I make 11$ a hr and 4 days a week thats how much they pay you compared to an ok paying job you don't really work that much at
This eviction moratorium has taken a bad situation and made it worse. I agree they need to crack down on slumlords but enabling people that trash rental properties and don’t pay rent isn’t right either. You really can’t expect landlords to maintain property if they aren’t getting paid either.
Trashy tenants get trashy slumlords. Birds of a feather.
@Totally aware --well, what are you gonna do about the govt.? Cause so far I see ppl complain about the govt. and don't do crap
@Totally aware seriously? The government isn't here to hold your hand. Be an adult, pay your bills. if you don't like where you live, move.
No you can blame the system that has diliberatly created this nightmare. You can blame the massive buy ups of suddenly available property by ruthless tax dodging corporate entities. You can blame Ragen for fucking the entire system of Federal funding and oversight.
@@iholesale you make it sound like there's anyplace else to go. Clearly you live in rich white tower land.
I'm a small time real estate investor, and I can tell you why this situation happens and it happen all the time in these class C,D property. The cap rate for these properties are typically high. Meaning low entry bar/ starting capital to start investing and higher cash flow.
But the catch is, it comes with all the baggages shown. It's really a lose-lose situation and both side wanted to take advantage of each other.
Cheap rent attracted people with less accountability: Tenants unlikely to be up to date on rent and property owner that only sees investment opportunities. But It is or should be an ephemeral stage for both side as well: renters that start out in their life/down on their luck can take advantage of cheaper rate, small time land lord can start somewhere relatives in expensive.
I lived in an off campus apartment for 225 for several year, and a garage room for 350 after I found my first job. I knew about the shitty situation I signed up for, and I just kept my head down and saved for my first down payment in a nice area.
A little persistent and understanding goes a long way. For both side :)
My boss had a millionaire for a client, who advised not to start buying rental properties because you often put more money into them than you get out of them. That's what happened in my family. One bad tenant ruined their first rental bldg & got away with never having to pay what she owed. They sold the bldg to a man in Texas who never paid. When my family went to do something about it they found that they couldn't collect due to TX laws. Just saying. Buyer beware.
Well said 👏
Absolutely not….ppl go where they can afford it’s not always irresponsible people paying cheap rent…your way of thinking is flawed terribly
@@shonDonFH I’m not saying everyone that paid cheap rent are irresponsible. People appreciate things when they had to pay more for it. It’s a marketing mentality thing. A car. A photography session. A nice high rise in NYC.
My previous landlord always said and thought, “if you don’t like how you’re treated, work harder, and buy your own home.”
Nice that the officials basically solved nothing but still collect their pay checks.
Slap a red tag on the door that said get out. Then stated that was not the case. Comical.
That apartment complex needs to be shut down. Those aren't safe to live in. $950 a month for that? Hell no.
so where do the tenants go?

You can’t even rent a parking space where I’m at with 950
$1000.00 a month is a $100.00 LESS than my monthly parking.
Inflation. All of the money created as stimulus has reduced the purchasing power of existing money. There is a cost to government spending that gets passed on to everyone. Unfortunately, inflation affects wage earners and the middle class the most. Asset prices increase with inflation so the wealthy are affected less.
@@therealmac1044 What???? You have to rent a parking space?

Hey cameraman, that shot of the barred window with the mini jack darnels bottles and soda... I see what you did there. Great work!!
😂😂😂
if they paying rent, the landlord should be fixing stuff. If tenants don't pay rent, landlord shouldn't fix anything.
The landlord has to fix stuff regardless if they pay rent or not that’s usually the law in a lot of states
IF THE LANDLORD DOES NOT HELP THESE POOR PEOPLE WHO WILL? THEY WILL BE HOMELESS. WE NEED LANDLORDS TO PROVIDE FOR THE HELPLESS AND THIS CHINA MAN CAN HARDLY SPEAK ENGLISH.
@@ellenlee1 its not the landlords duty to help by force. If the landlord wants to help, thats fine, but once again only if they choose to. Who is going to help the landlords from going bankrupt? Because the government sure is not going to help
@@ellenlee1 open ur house and fill it with people for free…stop telling everyone who works and pays their own bills and takes care of their own families to continue to keep providing and funding the same people their entire lives. 3 stimulus went out as well as massive amounts of benefits in cash and food to people. What they did with it other than pay their rent, is their fault…
Not according to the Law Genius
Why the hell do you stay? Get out if it’s not safe.🤔
Easier said when the next stop is the shelter
I'm afraid to think it but maybe this is the good side of the bad side of town.
For real! Get out of there! 😥👍🏾😖🥺That's so wrong...
They can't afford to go anywhere else. That was the best they could do. Did you see his wife? This man is living a hard life. I was so grossed out by that apartment, but some people aren't financially able to do better. And Frank is definitely a slumlord. $950 a month for that?!?! 🤯 Shame on him! 🤨 I'm pretty sure that he doesn't live in those conditions. This is the sad reality of America that a lot of people don't see. 😢
It’s not that easy when you are barley making it
Sounds like both parties are at fault for the end result.
Yes, people think its just landlord, i used to be a landlord in vegas and the tenant dont pay it take me a month to get them out, while they live there rent free.
Bet they were not even paying rent
No it doesn't.
@RUclipskeepsbanning Ikeepmakingmoreaccounts as a landlord I'm telling you if he let his place get like that it's not the tenant's problem. A 20-year-old water heater and repairs are done with no permit. That's years of neglect
@RUclipskeepsbanning Ikeepmakingmoreaccounts as land lord you need to have money in reserve. That's an issue you have to figure out because something can go wrong that's not the tenant or land lord's fault. A red flag is the . Oh and I can say this you are a slum lord " As a landlord I say tenants who don't pay their rent get their apartments " fact that he will only take cash Having a building red-tagged takes years of neglect
This is BS. The tenants saw the place before they rented. They could have chose not to take the place. They probably got evicted from every place they lived before for squatting and begged the landlord to move in. Once they are in they are demanding the place to be the four seasons while they pay holiday in rates.
Ofcoursecthats usually the case but if he did his job he wouldnt allow them to move in and possibly destroy his place. Ive seen tenants create their own inhabitable space then complain about it. Its ridiculous. The city is to do an inspection every 6 months in circumstances like this. They would be able to see if a tenant is destrying the property or the landlord is culpable for everything. In my experience as a landlord 85% of all issues were tenant cause the other 15% were from normal wear and tear or just something failing. Then when i tell them they cant do this because it will cause this, they still do it anyway and cause damage then expect me to pay. Its insane.
If you rent an old dirty apartment, you shouldn't expect the four seasons. However, you also probably didn't realize you would FALL INTO THE FLOOR. C'mon now. There is definitely a line between getting a rundown apartment and a death trap apartment.
Trash renters! Taking advantage of everything during covid
Nescient much.
So the tenant saw the hole in the floor before they rented...or what about the 20 year old water heater should they have examined that as well?
Cash and No Receipts? 🧐 Might wanna investigate that.
I know a slumlord who does the same thing its because he lies to the irs about earned income!
Cash and no receipts but yet they still chose to live there.
IRS Has just entered the chat
My landlords wife stole our rent once, so we pay with certified checks now. Only liars or idiots would continue to pay in cash.
You aren't required to give a receipt. The landlord has the right to state how he wants payment. It's in the state codes.
That slumlord is lying.
Those buildings probably been like that for years.
EXACTLY!!! Those dilapidated conditions don't happen overnight. Not even in 5 years. Those tenants aren't lying. He hasn't fixed ANYTHING in years! The city or state should take all of his slum properties away from him. He's putting people's health and lives at risk. SMH 😔
Def lying
Yet people still choose to live there.
They do the same in England
@@crazy32people55 So this is a global problem. Wow what an eye opener! That's why I was wondering did people not inspect the property before moving in? If you know it's like this and still decide to live there it's on you. Unless you have in black and white an agreement from the landlord to repair your unit after you move in.
Honestly, if the landlord was so bad, I'd just leave...... getting into a fight with him just wastes energy. In the end, you're out of a home.
They are fighting for free shit thats why
But in Vegas, people are really struggling to make ends meet. Plus, there's no rent control in Nevada. Most jobs don't pay enough to cover rent and costs of living. In addition to rent, most properties charge extra fees...it's crazy!
There's nothing to rent here
Some people have no where to go be grateful you do.
It’s not easy just moving from place to place
It's amazing to me how everything has went up since the pandemic: food, housing, and gas. It's crazy
And that's largely because of government interference in commerce
No one really knows what goes on other than what the media shows… the landlord literally said they destroyed the apartment so they didn’t have to pay..what happens when he actually fixes it documents it and then they still won’t pay
lol they didn't construct the building.
Landlords don’t fix apartments in order to make tenants want to leave. Also landlords can’t afford repairs if no one pays rebt
That landlord dude is no angel but these tenants also take advantage of the moratorium. That chick (from another video) doesn’t pay rent for months , doesn’t want to move out because tons of ridiculous reasons. I bet the lease didn’t allow her 7- people entourage to live in 1 bedroom apartment but she did it anyway behind the landlord’s back. How can she have a $400 electrical bill without AC unless it’s unpaid for accumulated months? Let’s hope that we are not going to have a repeat of a LV landlord shot the tenants to death. These people are just equally terrible. Move out and stop cry me a river.
I think they are all taking advantage of each other
Bingo!!!!
Yep both the tenants and landlords are taking advantage over each other.
Agree
No they aren't.
How can u say that after looking at those conditions of the man's apartment and some people don't have the credit score or money to move out and outta that 950 rent the landlord could've fixed some things it's only 5,000 dollars to repair the electric in those small building and they will work with you because they need the business and can't afford to turn it down same with the leaks and floors come on use the brains it works
Then move out!!! You don’t even have to stay there why don’t you move out it makes no sense to me.. unless you’re living rent free..
They're living free for as long as they can but crying in their cups looking for sympathy. Give me a break.
I’m surprise the city didn’t make the move out because the place is uninhabitable. Maybe the city can move them to housing
Where do people go - when they have no money???? Very few apartments available - even if u have money. With all the illegals coming here - it's getting very crowded.
They are squatters, not tenants.
It’s the cities responsibility to relocate them, the other option is the property management or landlord might own other places that aren’t like this they can move to. Ultimately it’s not the landlord or the tenants fault but the cities, they need to be more strict on getting building and code inspection so the landlord only has the option of fixing it or getting fined.
How is this possible this is sad and disgusting? People saying move but Las Vegas rent is getting too expensive they staying there because that's probably all they can afford.
The more housing they build the lower the rent will go. Also have to get rid of this moratorium so landlords can evict and make more room for people who actually can pay.
@@tazyboy28 one thing u don't realize is even if the landlord kick out all the tenants a lot of their units are still going to be empty since rent is going up all over the country if u raise so high to the point we're average families can't afford it u will have nothing but empty units , think about if your building is in a bad area or the apartment is nothing but a whole in the wall people who make really good money will not move in raising rent and kicking out low income tenants hurts some landlords as much as the tenants
It's possible because gubbament forces social problems (affordability, homelessness, mental illness, drug addiction) on to citizens instead of doing their flucking job and fixing it.
Property owners forced to provide free rent and unlimited utilities for YEARS in most of the country. Los Angeles is extending it ANOTHER year.
Poverty is not a property owners funking problem. And too often the government had a role in creating that poverty in the first place
exactly right? move to a two thousand a month bedroom happen to be the only options in California .
I love how tenants WILL NOT pay rent, but are OUTRAGED when they don't get a really nice place to stay on their landlords dollar. Pay your bills!!!
Haha same to the landlord bud keep up on your property or don't rent Loser Landlord 😜

Falls on deaf ears with these ‘tenants’ they want the government to fix
Totally agree. Discover and live to your potential. Keep moving forward in life!
Yes!
great comment
Unfortunately with rising living costs, rising education costs and lack of wage growth as well as growing monopoly industries - we will see more people in this situation, not less. Unfortunately the rich are only getting richer, and the poor and going to struggle more and more. Tax the rich is what ilm seeing here.
They're paying more in rent than I pay for my mortgage. There is no way that landlord should get away with renting those units in such horrible conditions.
This is why the poor stay poor
They're free to move at any time. There are also tons of services to help them.
@@TonyPlease Being from WV and having 95% of my friends and family in poverty, I concur your statement.
@RUclipskeepsbanning Ikeepmakingmoreaccounts unfortunately people have this thing called fear of being homeless because when you're on the road anything can happen
@RUclipskeepsbanning Ikeepmakingmoreaccounts God you act like everybody has a stable mindstate and money 🤣
Why is this man a landlord he is clearly just in it for the money.
same as literally every landlord
He is a landlord because he owns the property. Its HIS building and its HIS land.
That’s the point
Nothing wrong with making a profit but make it legitimately renting livable units.
Why are grocery stores open? They’re in it for money because it’s called a business
And yet the tenants refuse to leave. Actions speak louder than words. They don't want to pay rent, and they won't leave. What a nightmare.
Landlords can't afford to fix problems when the tenants don't have to pay rent
Yes. If he fixes it he will have to raise the rent. They have to move out for repairs. Its hard to live through renovations.
Wow. All I can say is wow
That landlord should be made to live in those buildings!!!!!!! Gross shame on him!!
Tenants can just ask someone to have the repairs made, then deduct it from their rent. Oh right, they’re not paying rent.
So this land lord is being outed by SEVERAL tenants. Well, guess what... THIS IS TYPICAL. Most rentals are this way.
Maybe you live in a bad area? Rentals in nice areas are nothing like this. I had a similar landlord once when I lived in a slum in San Francisco and it sucked. It was so stressful. I'm glad I don't live in places like that any more. Most rentals are kept in good condition from my experience.
@@Microarmor007 I travel the World. Maybe you are part of 1% of society.
What is typical is the high correlation between abject poverty and abject ignorance. It's also as natural as evolution. If one is too schtoopid to make themselves a high value asset to a society through education, that same dyp💩 will blame their woes on others
My rent is $350 a month in an old 50 year old building and my place has no issues. It's called preventative maintenance and not abusing things. All my appliances are at least 30 years old and work just fine. Poor people tend to have destructive behavior and no life skills for maintaining a home.
@@neonnoir9692 as a landlord and tenant I totally concure with this statement however, as a tenant who has not only paid rent, but renovated many unites I was a renter of, I know slumlords and governing policies vary well. ⚖️👍

The court should order him to live in the building for 1year, no excuses.

If you have decent credit I recommend trying to buy a Condo, or Townhouse, you can still find those for less than 170k and a 30 yr loan would be about 600ish a month.
I am not sure about that right now....
You can find condos for that price, but such a condo comes with an association fee that is quite significant.
In either case, I can smell the bad life choices being made by these tenants.
Bullshit. I don't know why you think that.
$170K? Lol. They are around $330K for just an average condo in my area.
@zqnz wmn You are correct. I don't know jack about this man and his disabled wife. But neither do you. All we think we know is what this news report told us, and we should understand how they often do not tell the entire story. There's a roommate who is involved, and who knows how much that person (shouldn't be?) paying, there's a dog which may be a service dog, but if not, they aren't $free$. The landlord may want $cash$ because the checks being written out may be no good. We do not know how much is being spent on beer and cigarettes, and for all we know, they have Iphone 11's. And look at that "old SUV" there. Those are some pretty fancy wheels on there. And quite honestly, it looks like a nicer vehicle than I ever had, and I think something else would be more suitable for getting a disabled spouse into and out of.
Yeah it is a crap apartment. Yeah it looks decrepit. Yeah housing costs are ridiculous. Even health care is ridiculous. I am not denying any of that. However, over all my decades of being on this rock, I have learned that there is a strong correlation between people who live in crap apartments like this and poor life choices. It is definitely possible that these people are an exception to that, but the odds are in favor of that not being the case, and I found SOME evidence in the video to support my case.
@zqnz wmn Perhaps some proper punctuation will make your statement more understandable.
I already admitted to being speculative, and I'm sure that you know something that I know nothing about. I may not be that smart, but I do understand how humans have a predilection to make poor life decisions which dig them into a hole. If that's not what is going on here, then I wish I could help them somehow, but I am not going to take what I hear on the news at face value. That is a bad idea.
$950.00 for a dump!? Landlordneeds tobe in jail.
If things get to a certain point with disrepair, the cities should be able to seize those properties

@Biff baff and you know why? Eviction moratorium. Moratorium hurts the very people its meant to protect.
@@ethanmiles20 ya who would leave a free home
And here is the question, if he is a slum lord, that makes them SLUM PEOPLE!
So fallacious.
Sometimes, bad people move into a dilapidated building and destroy further and blame landlord to stay there for free. and block any attempts by landlord to fix the problems. Tenants always have upper hand. They can move out anytime easily but landlords cannot kick people out easily.
If you don't like where you live, move, it cannot be simpler than that.
If he's a slum lord, move.
Conditions of apartment may also be due to BOTH landlord neglect & tenant abuse.
Either side not happy with each other, separate.
Why on earth should any tenant expect to live rent free? I've dealt with tenants who actually get angry at ME because rent is due, and the apartment is in good condition in nice neighborhood.
I'm a landlord, retired, barely able to pay my own bills, have you ever dealt with months of bad checks, insufficient fund? That's why I collect cash. I pay taxes, but one bad deposited check will bounce my other checks, which means fees & bad credit for ME
Government wants us to fight with each other rather than take responsibility for economic hardship
Saw many properties for rent recently in good areas including Sun Cities that have obvious problems, and landlord says, hey as is, Nevada LACKS LAWS protecting renters, dare a landlord do such in Orange County California for example.
Nevada is corrupted AF
I feel bad for those people but at end of the day landlords are in business to make money I mean no rent no money for repair it s business 101.
@RUclipskeepsbanning Ikeepmakingmoreaccounts Negative
Dual family homes have to be up to code to be able to rent. Have to have regular inspection’s to be able to be occupied or it would get shut down. So no you can’t do what ever you want still need to pull permits.
@RUclipskeepsbanning Ikeepmakingmoreaccounts correct squatters are not renters
I doubt any contract was signed for this property either. In other words, the people living there arent tenants by law, and the landlord isnt legally liable to take care of them. No contract, means they are technically squatters.
This is it: THIS IS THE MOMENT THAT OUR COUNTRY EITHER TEARS ITSELF APART OR FINALLY FIXES ITS ACT.
A lot of these tenants are playing the victim. They knew what it was before they moved in. If they felt like it was a slum then why did they move in?
I wouldn't rent to anyone that I don't screen. You have to keep them out, or the cycle will continue.
Unfortunately you have to follow the laws on renting out to people. So, I'm not going to rent out my home. %%&^ that.
Well at this point it’s the landlord
Unfair housing discrimination
You are so right as I too am in your situation.
Then move out!! Tenants knew its a cheaper rental. 950 for 2 bed apt is cheap! I bet most tenants dont pay rent taking advantage of eviction moratorium
Wow. I own my home, last time I paid rent it was a very nice 1 bedroom and was $80. a month. That was decades ago.
Frank "Meow" 🤣🤣🤣🤣...at least he scares the rats away!
That lady does not need to be in that environment. It looked very unsanitary! Her poor soul!! Her hands and feet were wrapped up in dirty wrap. Get her out!!
It hurt my soul to see her. I can see why the husband is so angry.
The laws for maintaining a rental property need to be more severe even jail hes collecting 900 a month and not doing one single thing plus a fall through the floor should be law suit material against him
Seriously I see so many landlord cases were they neglect property and disregard the well being of tenants. All of sudden people stop paying rent and it's boohoo the landlord
Problem with this concept is that not landlords gonna spend that kinda money then lease out to people like those in this video. Meaning these people well go from slum dwellings the the streets....cause and affect🤦♂️

If the landlord is gonna make all those repairs the tenants are gonna have to find new places to stay anyway. And then the rent is gonna go up.
He needs a good law suit from all those residents. What a despicable human being.
This slumlord is shtty for sure, for me glad im selling my only rental, people both landlords and renters are becoming weird and stressfully unpredictable these days. Just wish my friend-renter the best, cuz he will have to fork over $800 more/month for a comparable.
I rent 5 units but only to retired professionals. They are the last generation with integrity, workaholics that saved for retirement plus they have Social Security. I've never had one bit of trouble with any of them. I have three that have rented from me for over 13 years. I take them grocery shopping every week. We've become family.
Why won't the govt buy it and demolish it?
Lots of apts buildings like this in Vegas. They should all be demolished so they can't be rented out
Oh sure with what money? The government has no money for that, they won't even clean up the trash from the homeless
if he won't accept a check or direct bank deposit then the land lord is obviously a crook
All cash AND no receipts?? He is evading taxes FOR SURE. He clearly isn't having the building inspected for occupancy because it would NOT pass....you NEED a paper trail of some sort. I hope they kept their utility receipts because they may have a case with the right attorney.
Something tells me the land lord grew up living in a slum that makes this place look like a castle, he is wondering what these people are complaining about lol. Guarantee that land lord endured and sacrificed alot to buy these places. He is a slum lord but he made sacrifices to become an owner.
Amen 100
950.00 dollars for that shit he's truly crazy do he even pay the taxes. 30.000 dollar fines should've put him upside down and under.
This happened in San Francisco. Unfortunately my uncle has severe dementia. He’s in Home. His wife had a heart attack and died in the apartment. Somebody had bought the building two years prior to this. This happened a year and a half ago his wife having a heart attack at 53 suddenly and he was in a, she’s in a skilled nursing for the rest of his life so she had to move anyways cause she wasn’t on the original rent control. He’d lived there since 1991 and she passed away in 2022 and he’d been in a skilled nursing for a year so she had to move out anyways, but somebody bought the building and re-gutted the whole place and they were only paying not even 1000 and I said the reason why they’re turning your water off is because they want you to move , but by then he couldn’t understand anything, but this case was purely their fault him not being able to handle affairs and her not working and there was no way she could stay there while his Social Security is paying for his permanent care at the hospital because the owner wanted them out for a long time because they were paying he sold one of the units for 1 million and he could rent that unit out for $7000 a month and this isn’t Pacific Heights and Russian Hill actually in Russian Hill so I kept telling him for years You know you’re paying nothing you need to bank that extra money away and you know he had millions of dollars passed through his hands and there’s no way he should’ve ended up pennyless this way my uncle there’s no reason why he should’ve ended up the way he ended up I think because his mind wasn’t right he was spending money that he didn’t. I don’t know, but this guy is a straight up scumbag he’s arrested for breaking into someone’s apartment that guy shady paint, taken cash that guy is a crook.
That place needs to be bulldozed and not repaired
Why don’t you guys move to Texas, Vegas is way overpriced now
Depends where in Texas. So many moving to Austin, the capitol. It has skyrocketed here.
No don’t come to Texas😷😷
Texas landlords don’t want them
Since the Raiders came here. They've jacked up everybody's rent. No Rent Control. Places over priced. It's Rediculous.
Don't come to Vegas either.
I realize some tenents destroy,Frank. But don't rent out to people who appear to be that way. Invest in higher end property,and get higher end people. If you insist on lower end property,then you are going to have to fix it up. The inspectors know who you are now,fix it up,buddy.
"Appear to be that way" So be judgemental and prejudice.
@@raeighnisha428 who isn't at this point? Pattern recognition is accurate 9/10 times.
Some Tenants do destroy properties, Some Landlords are unfair. Moratorium on Evictions is unfair, and it all goes back to the Government, Who will step in and screw it up worse than they already have. Accepting only cash is legal, Witholding receipts is not. Two sides to every story, We don't have both.
Never thought I'd ever meet a gangster with last name MEOW! Does he belong to Bad Catz Posse? 🤣🤣🤣
I’m sure that husband gets disability for his wife, plus unemployment, plus stimulus. People need to pay their debts. Yes, that slumlord is slime, and the building needs to be condemned, but you can’t live there for free. Move!! Looks like the wife should be in a clinic.
He probably cant put her in a clinic because UH he cant afford it, and medicare probably denied it, how is he supposed to pay it
@@crystalsswtor3760 I'd bet she'd qualify for Medicaid which would also pay for Long Term Care. But, her 'husband' would not get her SSI check so he'd be out that income. He could be getting paid for 'attendant care' which would pay him up to 40 hours a week for being her caregiver. Maybe that's why she's in that situation and not in a nursing home.
@@eckankar7756 ….ugh, that poor, unfortunate wife.
@@eckankar7756 the nursing homes are a lot worse
Exactly!!
Their is lots of Conman lowlifes renting. It happened us a few times.Lots of those tenants are the ones who damage the apartments. Then they file complaints, try to sue you.. They do it for they dont pay rent and for they dont get evicted
How is a 20 year old water heater that leaks a tenants fault?
You must be a slumlord too.
Exactly, they want to live for free.
Lowlife tenants will make up anything to look like victims
Lots of slumlords lurking, and they hide behind their property management companies (if they can afford one), and eviction lawyers who know all the tricks of the trade.
Why is it the landlords fault they choose to live in substandard conditions? I'll never comprehend why it's everyone else fault you didn't make great life choices. I'm from WV, single teen high school drop out, turned heroin addicted stripper. I've been clean for 8 years because I knew it was my horrible choices and my responsibility to change them. If you can't care for your disabled wife, you should let someone who can.
He said she had a brain infection. Those are very rare. Unless she uses IV drugs. People dont simply get brain infections.
This is real life.
You don't like your landlord, your landlord doesn't like you, you don't like your apartment, what do you do next? I'm so confused. Why not heed this man's advice and leave?
@Biff baff why is it so hard to find an apartment in las vegas?
Because hes breaking the law, and its been proven hes doing it. His job is to keep ALL of his properties up to code, so your not telling me you or he doesnt know what hes doing
@@crystalsswtor3760 I didn't say this man (landlord) is right or even ethical. He rents out an unsafe uninhabitable places with the littlest effort given if any at all. I don't think skipping out on rent is OK either because it shows a lack of respect for a resolution. If negotiations don't work, then report this man, pack up your things, move out.
C'mon, Frank Meow. Stop being so catty!
🤣 Sorry. I had to do it.
The MO when working as a slum lord is that everything is in cash. Repairs (if done at all) are only the bar minimum. Pay fines if necessary. When you have enough money, buy more of the same and then rinse and repeat. When done right can be very lucrative.
The 'wife' is definitely a vulnerable adult seeing her bandaged up, emaciated and laying on that floor. With all these people, facility professionals, 13 Investigates, etc involved in this complaint did ANY of them seek social services to step in for this woman for possible medical and physical neglect?
I suspect she might be on SSI and the 'husband' needs that check. She MIGHT be on state Medicaid and they are paying him up to 40 hours a week to provided attendant care as her caregiver which he needs that money, too. Seeing her in this condition, on the floor with vermin and insects, sinking floors and falling in walls I think an Adult Protective Service report should be made. If she doesn't have Medicaid she will qualify and they will provide Long Term Care to get her into a safe environment, physician and nursing visits and a clean safe place at least while all this apartment mess is being rectified.
13 Investigates totally dropped the ball on this one. They filmed her in this condition and did NOTHING to provide support of a very vulnerable adult. They should have at least reported this to APS (Adult Protection Service) and let them make an informed recommendation. They should change their name to Friday the 13th Investigates.
Didn't these people see the conditions of this complex. They could have moved to a siegel suites Why did they stay
File a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT!!!
If tenants complain about conditions, yet refuse to move, it must be a good deal.
They probably couldn't afford to move. Plus, think about the 12 month contracts.
Bruh I'm in somewhat the same boat, creaky old floors in my 1 bedroom I keep asking to change units and get cold shoulder by landlord and cant move cause no vacancies, HELP! 😵
GET A LAWYER REF: Fair House Rights and Acts Laws!!
@Biff baff US Department of Housing and Urban Development provides for free legal assistance in cases such as this.
What help do you want? You mentioned that you want to move, but vacancies can't appear just on demand.
@@mrstamikeathley-byers6258 A lawyer? He said he wants to move. What do you expect a lawyer to do? Also, creaky floors aren't a hazard.
@@blakeberlin6295 There are lawyers that help residents at "No Cost" especially in this incident. Also lawyers in Las Vegas dont charge a fee if you dont win and if you win the complaint, it only a percentage% of winning from the complaint. I work for (5) attorney and have for 7yrs.
Happening all over the country. Sad for landlords and sad for tenants. The whole situation is unbelievable!
I pray for all my brothers and sisters!!! Pls pls pls lord pls !
If this landlord is demanding cash and not providing receipts, this is a red flag situation and the IRS should be notified. Is there such a thing as subsidized housing in Las Vegas?
Southern California here: Jeebus Chroist! If this landlord is "legally" allowed to earn money off the backs of the oppressed, sheeeeeiiiit----, than I guess Las Vegas is the wild, wild west. Anything goes over there... In my opinion, the landlord's actions directly reflect on what type of community (zoning) that the city -and more unfortunately, some people are willing to settle for. It seems to me that his setup preys on the down and out. I hope a good 'somebody' comes in to raise bar of of higher standards to the benefit of the everyone involved. But on the other side of things, it'd be very interesting to look into the books of the landlord. Perhaps he is barely unable to scrap by having to conduct repair after repair in the purchase of a neverending money pit that should've been demolished decades ago. On the other end of the spectrum, he might be playing the dragon's "Stay the cash" game because he's using the exploitation of other humans to get to another level in his life, making him feel as if he's come up in status by way of external things. Very interesting coverage and nice reporting by this news station
Nevada needs to be CALIFORNICATED so shit like this doesn’t happen.. this is exactly the reason to Californicate the rest of the country because California knows what’s best for the people
Where did you spend all the money that you received from the government,Damn and there's a lot of job.
maybe the slum lord should get a job to fix his property.
@@adamannt3761: this was NOT the condition when he first moving in. Should Landlords hire nannies to clean after their rears?
@@guangxidavidliu dudes literally has been there for less than a year. You seriously think someone would do that to there own home. Enjoy licking you landlord's boots. Keep em shiny
Dotty's and Molly's...
@@guangxidavidliu you really think this is that simple? Wake up
What's crazy is a lot of the slumlords will eventually receive taxpayer funded rental arrears payments that the tenants applied for in the pandemic. Many of these slumlords own several different properties and live out of town. They don't even report all their yearly rental income if any at all to the IRS. They cheat the tenant and the government.
Yet a roommate moved in! Must not be that bad! People still wanting to move in. Not the best landlord at all, but if he's not getting paid due to the moratorium, then they don't deserve anything at all, and getting more than they deserve. Is this a case of I don't wanna pay my landlord, but I want him to pay for my kids schooling and lunch, and fund the city, and give me a different apartment than what I moved into, and also bring in more roommates, while not paying the landlord? I think so. If you don't like the place, don't move in. Pay for your own kids too.
Third world apartment building.
Not even close.
@@gravity-zero2917 He fell through the floor.
They can always leave if they don’t like it, I wouldn’t stay there.
I know exactly what you guys are going through, I to had a landlord that would not fix anything, I still remember when my ac went out in triple digit heat and they wouldn't fix it, my neighbors went out also, they went and got them a window air conditioner, my water was running hot all the time in the bathroom sink which caused my electric bill to go up into the 400's, they wouldn't fix that either, I finally realized hey I can pay 400 on a water bill and 300 in rent I can find me a better place to live and that's what I did, I just left , no notice just left and when I got the chance I gave them the worst review I mean I let people know what kind of place that was, they would take the review down and I would post another one
no ones forcing him to live there
If anything this pandemic moratorium has done, it will force some of the slumlords out of the business.
Poverty, affordability, homelessness, drug addiction, mental illness.... those are GOVERNMENT problems to solve, not property owners. The government is evil and incompetent, and you are ignorant. Both are horrific for society
Yet he keeps buying properties
Slimmer tenants are the worst…they only run the properties to the ground.
The fact the slumlord is walking around unscathed .
