At what point is enough enough. When government suspends taxes then you can dictate to the landlords. They are going belly up . They still have to pay repairs and thousands in taxes and insurance . Tens of thousands in mortgages.
Was a landlord in DC. Bought the house I grew up in from my parents and spent $45K renovating it. The tenants paid rent for a year then started paying sometimes and then not at all. Trashed my house and DC would not let me kick them out. I took them to court and watch judges stall me out and run me through the ringer before the tenants agreed to leave. They only left because the power was turned off due to non payment. They gave my house keys to a homeless person who left literal crap all over my house as well. DC judge said I should be thankful that I got my house back at all. $50k more in renovations and I had to sell my family home because I could no longer afford to keep it and did not want to risk another tenant trashing it. I have absolutely no sympathy for these deadbeats. Not your property then get out!!!
Cutting off power isn’t a problem because the landlord paid for the electric. The renters just have to call up the power and turn it on and they will pay the bill. All they need is mail showing their name and address they live there.
This what happened went money is given to the renter landlord so he got the money for sure .I hope the renter are ok ..creepy landlord legal these are people come to the stated and fast government go give them money free of cause.and this problem keep on and on
Money was likely given to a management company. And the guy owning it now probably bought it from the guy who rented it out. Messy no matter how you look at it.
So wait a minute -- the reporter says they saw a lease agreement -- but it's with someone else, not the owner? It was with someone described as a "property manager"? And why didn't they show the lease agreement on-camera and name this property manager?

Seems to me like these renters were paying the "manager". The "manager" was collecting their payments and not paying the owner of the home to live there, he's the one who screwed over the other renters who probably shouldn't have been there in the first place. I don't blame the home owner.
By law he was supose to wait until their lease was up. He didnt won't to so his rich as called his rich friends at the light company. The rich looking out for the rich. Ive seen this multiple times. She can still sue him for every thing lost and for relocating and he knows it.
@@Dee-qo7gh Actually no ... an owner can evict a tenant for any reason regardless of lease .. so long as it is within the lease agreement or not in violation of a state or federal law. I'm going to suggest that this owner purchased this home and the previous owner was supposed to have the tenants move out. The previous owner did not, the management company (if there was one) failed to follow up and the new owner moved ahead with his original plans. They literally had two months to get out and did not.
The majority of the problems are that tenants take advantage of the moratorium by not paying rent, if you pay rent, 99.9%of the landlord welcome for you to stay. This is an obscure case.
People who became unemployed due to lockdown were getting an unemployment, why didn't they pay rent what are they spending money on? Plus most of them were getting $200 per person in food stamps? I don't know about all areas but in my area we had a lot of rent assistances from the city as they got huge funds, but of course you had to be qualified and prove that you lost a job/income due to lockdown and not just because you never worked in your life and someone will pay your rent, when you have a car payments you know if you don't pay the car is going to be repossessed , what the people were spending their unemployment money on?
It sounds like someone used his property by breaking in and becoming squatters. Whether or not the landlord knew it or not he'd shouldve been checking on the property. And now that the eviction ban will end in October sadly situations like this will happen. There'll be alot of empty rental properties for squatters and con artists looking to make a quick buck off of people's desperate need for housing.
Save yr contacts & Receipts . I was renting from a man in California who lived in California never seen the house he was renting out in texas. But gave my rent money to someone in texas that was helping him out on Collecting rent money from houses he rents out.
Something is awfully wrong with this story, but of course the news reporters goal is to act as if the landlords are terrible people. Landlords should not have to go into debt because a tenant will not or cannot pay their rent.
Here's the deal,legal or illegal tenents,the law is 30 day notice,legal notice through the system. They are probably squartters,which means yes a landlord can do that. Some of the story missing.
Nashville is "refacing Nashville", and North Nashville has been on the map for sometime now. Tear down an old rental house and make way for a modern one that you can lease for no less than 1,400 a month. I have a feeling, these tenants and or landlord were getting scammed by a so-called "property management company".
If you are a renter and you don't pay your rent. You are no longer a renter. Get your A_s out of the house. When you don't pay your rent, your time is up.
Power company here would never allow that if she had a contract. Electrical Inspectors can't even pull someones meter. Something doesn't add up here. Because the power wasn't turned back on, and the house was demolished... tells me the tenant was not accurate, or the reporter needed to finish working the story, or the landlord will get a nastygram from her attorney/court having jurisdiction. Easy to check,
@@sblijheid apparently a property manager. They even stated that a local church that had been assisting some of the tenants with rent had records of payment to said property manager.
How could they be living there the whole time without paying for utilities? Why would the landlord pay that for the tenants? Maybe things are done differently in that state?

Why would the landlord want you out? Seems like having a tenant living there and paying rent would benefit them
But it is his building and he does have that right.
@@patricksaxon3983 my rent includes all utilities! If they had the right to turn it off, it would have stayed off.
@@VinhLe-bi4zh I am rent stabilized; they could make triple the amount of money with me gone!
@@williamssharon3908 then youre worthless
government systems are failing landlords. And Landlords are risking being arrested, sued to avoid being foreclosed on.
It’s his house and they need to go!
Seems to me like these renters were paying the "manager". The "manager" was collecting their payments and not paying the owner of the home to live there, he's the one who screwed over the other renters who probably shouldn't have been there in the first place. I don't blame the home owner.
Real estate law says you have to give tenant 2 months to move our
👏👏👏👏Well done……. Hopefully they invested their taxpayer funded stimulus money towards the purchase of a late model work van to reside in.
How can she say it "happened so fast" when the landlord says he gave 60 days notice.
He knew they were in that home. If he’s saying they were supposed to be gone 60 days ago, why was he just now having the lights disconnected....
Exactly and they been there for 3 years!
@@newnewdavis2651 That’s just crazy. I use to feel sorry for some landlords, but when you do things like this, I just can’t.
By law he was supose to wait until their lease was up. He didnt won't to so his rich as called his rich friends at the light company. The rich looking out for the rich. Ive seen this multiple times. She can still sue him for every thing lost and for relocating and he knows it.
@@Dee-qo7gh Actually no ... an owner can evict a tenant for any reason regardless of lease .. so long as it is within the lease agreement or not in violation of a state or federal law. I'm going to suggest that this owner purchased this home and the previous owner was supposed to have the tenants move out. The previous owner did not, the management company (if there was one) failed to follow up and the new owner moved ahead with his original plans. They literally had two months to get out and did not.
Dude getting 200.00 per week from 3 diffrent people...that place is a goldmine!!!
The majority of the problems are that tenants take advantage of the moratorium by not paying rent, if you pay rent, 99.9%of the landlord welcome for you to stay. This is an obscure case.
Isaac, landlords are often sleazy too.
@@d.lawrence5670 No way they goods people
So what happened to the money the program gave the landlord.
The problem is the government telling people they can hijack landlords properties without paying
They need to find the management company who was taking money from both the tenants and the landlord
It’s called get the he ll out!
Oh it's so terrible, how the heck do the landlords pay the tax, the upkeep, and the loans they have? Seems like no one is saying anything about that!
There's some funny business going on here. The actual renter was subleasing the rooms without knowledge of the owner creating all kinds of confusion.
Why is the church paying via Care Act rent for two seemingly young able bodied people?
Did they pay their rent? Love the victumhood. Oohhh their squatters. Hhhmmmm interesting.
People who became unemployed due to lockdown were getting an unemployment, why didn't they pay rent what are they spending money on? Plus most of them were getting $200 per person in food stamps? I don't know about all areas but in my area we had a lot of rent assistances from the city as they got huge funds, but of course you had to be qualified and prove that you lost a job/income due to lockdown and not just because you never worked in your life and someone will pay your rent, when you have a car payments you know if you don't pay the car is going to be repossessed , what the people were spending their unemployment money on?
Some tenants are abusing the small landlords, the government should provide with housing for family in need but not on the landlord expenses!!🧐
Wait...was that a racoon scurrying in the background. 😂😂😂😂
Yes,it was it has a home and that's good 4 him,lucky racoon.
It sounds like someone used his property by breaking in and becoming squatters. Whether or not the landlord knew it or not he'd shouldve been checking on the property. And now that the eviction ban will end in October sadly situations like this will happen. There'll be alot of empty rental properties for squatters and con artists looking to make a quick buck off of people's desperate need for housing.
Good job to the landlord. New owner, no contract. She had 60 days to move. Too bad, too sad
You are so compassionate.
@@schawnettarobinson8584 Thank you! 😊
You have to give notice to evict
I think whatever management company he was using is to blame in this situation.
Save yr contacts & Receipts . I was renting from a man in California who lived in California never seen the house he was renting out in texas. But gave my rent money to someone in texas that was helping him out on Collecting rent money from houses he rents out.
Have that judge pay the electric bill and their rent.
The landlord is right everybody want to live free,he's damn right I will say it again he's damn right
But they specifically said the government paid for them through the yr
Something is awfully wrong with this story, but of course the news reporters goal is to act as if the landlords are terrible people. Landlords should not have to go into debt because a tenant will not or cannot pay their rent.
Things like this wouldn't happen as often if the landlords had some protections as well.
AMEN
Houses are cheap.
Huge investment.
Then the owners work + maintain the house.
Renters think it's a hotel.
Clap your hands and things happen
Didn’t he say he told them to leave 60 days ago??? It wasn’t with out notice… 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
If the government was paying rent assistance to the Landlord, this would not have occurred, renters need help from government.
People begging for help, yet the church needs to pay the rent for two young people.
Right. to young , seemingly able bodied people.
Here's the deal,legal or illegal tenents,the law is 30 day notice,legal notice through the system. They are probably squartters,which means yes a landlord can do that. Some of the story missing.
Raise rents and raise them high
Nashville is "refacing Nashville", and North Nashville has been on the map for sometime now. Tear down an old rental house and make way for a modern one that you can lease for no less than 1,400 a month. I have a feeling, these tenants and or landlord were getting scammed by a so-called "property management company".
2 days before Christmas and they were on virtual learning. No way, something sounds fishy, but I could be wrong.
If you are a renter and you don't pay your rent. You are no longer a renter. Get your A_s out of the house.
When you don't pay your rent, your time is up.
Wow the media coverage is so one sided. What about the Landlords rights. 😳
Moratorium??? Ohhhh you mean license to squat!
Power company here would never allow that if she had a contract. Electrical Inspectors can't even pull someones meter. Something doesn't add up here.
Because the power wasn't turned back on, and the house was demolished... tells me the tenant was not accurate, or the reporter needed to finish working the story, or the landlord will get a nastygram from her attorney/court having jurisdiction. Easy to check,
The landlord brought down the house. 🏠
Awww capitalism isn't it beautiful how many schemes you can come up with when you have no respect for nothing.
Pay your rent.
It needs to be a felony to do this
Being a small landlord is very difficult.
GA law homeowner give 2 months to move out to tenants
This is where the unhoused comes frome we see on city streets.
Not just mental illness and drug addicts.
Lots of liars in this story. Landlords are right to get people out these days.
Why are people mad?? She said she has a lease agreement.
How much are landlords supposed to take? Everyone has a excuse. These landlords are getting screwed. Don’t people ever hear of Walmart tents?
If she really isn't a "tenant" & no contract actually exists, she & everyone else in that house are squatters.
Did you listen to the story? She has a lease and was paying rent
@@NKelly-yc1wt The question is: Who was she paying rent to?
@@sblijheid apparently a property manager. They even stated that a local church that had been assisting some of the tenants with rent had records of payment to said property manager.
Exactly
They are roomers, which is different in law than a tenant.
Looks like a landlord with backbone willing to do what's truly righteous and evict tenants at any cost
How could they be living there the whole time without paying for utilities? Why would the landlord pay that for the tenants? Maybe things are done differently in that state?
I've seen places where utilities included. I live in one. Not common but they put there
Sounds like something my landlord would do. He's also raising rent during the pandemic.
It is illegal to shut of power or water, because of non payment of rent, only the power and water can do that.
Wow...that landlord was serious. I didn't expect him to demolish the house...wow
Yeah he was not fooling around! He'd had enough and was so desperate to get them out. Wow.
Now he's the victim get out and quit crying .
Obviously these ppl were scammed... the rent was paid through the year for them.. the landlord scammed them
Go buy your own home and never complain again
