$7000 behind on a $200 a month rent. You need to evict as soon as they're 3 months behind in public housing. We're creating our own mess in society. Too many are allowed to not play by the normal rules, and they aren't all mentally challenged, but are smart and crafty people. We need to be fair, but tougher.
Why should people pay rent when they are living in terrible conditions?
The very reason Babylon is falling. The ones responsible being held accountable the ones caught in the middle being removed from the situation. This temporary earth school experiment everyone is in either being rewarded or punished according to deeds on earth school. Thieves never get rewarded. They only think they're crafty. Literally everything we do is recorded in Arch Angel Metatron the hall of records. They forget everyone was given a PKU test testing for bloodline and lineage microchipped monitored and recorded at all times in this earth school experiment called project earth.
@@atrailmckinley4786 Most stopped paying rent during the pandemic, thinking ERAP would cover, not because of the housing conditions. Thats why in Feb 2020, NYCHA was collecting 88% and now its 62%
Exactly
True
If New York can spend billions on illegal immigrates they can let the tenants live in their slumlord housing for free😂
...Landlords and city have deals...
If the government investigates the landlord's and inspectors someone will end in jail
Laziness for not cleaning cause mold
Keeping a FILTHY place is not the landlords fault
While the illegal immigrants are living free of charge its ridiculous they could have lowered the rents
Honestly it’s like being stuck between a rock and a hard place with these slum lords and rent control. I also probably have black mold in my apartment because I’m always cleaning the cracks of the sinks. Also I never get heat in the winter. You’re literally stuck between what you can afford and what you can’t and it’s just awful.
I work as a home health aide I see the most of the patients and the families keep their homes alot of them live like hoarding pack rats and break things up and alot of them are nasty and don't pay their rent but expect everything to be handed them
That’s what I was saying…. Some people’s lifestyles make these issues worse.
It’s the migrants I think
She is behind on her rent, and only has to pay $243 per month? Girl bye!!!!! 😒🙄
I agree with withholding rent if the landlord refuses to fix a issue there. However, how long are you planning to withhold rent for? What are you doing with the money withheld? If you are not paying and still just living in the condition that you are complaining about, and doing it for years, then that’s an issue.
They refuse because they have deals with landlords...
You choose to live in those conditions is not a reason to hold rent, nor is it legal. Leave and let the landlord face the markets. No one will rent it and theyll be forced to renovate.
@Ap_twsh ... lol you chose 🤣... what are you talking about...
What you don't say landlords must run buildings according to 21 C standards in the US... but you saying leve let them feel a pain... because you are used to running from reality, we are where we are today, like you need to learn what is point what is surrounding you...don't run
That's not how it works! To withhold rent due to unfixed repairs - you must go to court! There is a LEGAL way to this and it is done through the courts. The court will collect and keep the rent owed and place it in escrow until repairs are made. When the landlord proves to the court repairs have been made - then the money held in escrow will be released to the landlord.
@@danettechavisdid Rosa parks go to court or did she sit in front of the bus? Stop the cooning. When the tenants were paying rents did NYCHA do anything ?
They need the money but is not putting it into maintaining the buildings. It was like this before the pandemic and people are fed up.
He just put her rent on blast.
Evict them!
Oh my God, those apartments are disgusting that is terrible conditions for them to leave. I wouldn’t pay the rent either.
I am sure a lot of people have black mold sickness from apartment buildings. It can be life-threatening. They are leaving leaks to just keep growing mold. They need to fix the leak and replace the ceiling and floor upstairs, but they don't because these people have nowhere else to go. Then they want rent. You do your end, and then the people will do theirs.
What is going on in low-income, section 8, and public housing apparently now, is they leave repairs to get so out of hand that the building is condemned. Then the residents are homeless, and the HAs are like well here is a voucher, but there is nowhere left to use it. The USA is turning into the slums of Mumbai.
...Send this to mayor Adam's...
Rent under 300 a month and your still late gtfoh a eviction should have been done. That's a bar tab for rent, and she is talking about repairs. All the money saved, hire someone to to the repairs.
You can not do your own repairs to a nycha apartment. Thats against the law. Do you people think before you comment or you just like being ignorant
@@janeli4616they know nothing about nycha they're just yapping off at the mouth.
@@janeli4616really ? U can not repair something in Nycha ? Is that against laws ?
If they want people glad to pay the rent, they need to do the required repairs and stop taking advantage of the poor to get rich.
Wait, NYCHA is trying to get rich? Understand the topic BEFORE making fool of yourself.l
That lady claims the apartment conditions are impacting her health. So why is she still living there?!?! I'm guessing market rate for that apartment is probably $1250 - $1500. Who is paying the rest over the $250 that she is supposed to pay? Pay you rent or get out. Its not complicated.
The extra people aka family, baby mamas and dead beats living with them can pay
$200 rent and your behind? That's crazy
If you dont' fix the conditions you don't get paid. People are paying rent and are getting sick. people are paying for mold and asbestos.
The tenants need to make NYCHA put them in a better apts 😢😢😢and close these apts down NYCHA raising rents with no improvements we need a class action lawsuit.
We have to move you to temporary housing while we do repairs on your unit
.......the end
Just tell them to backpay their rent so that the landlord can fix it and see what they say...They won't pay, because its not the condition of the house but the condition of these people taking advantage of the landlords. Why would any landlord fix anything if you're behind on rent? lol
Technically not true
Speechless 😮
People live under these conditions in 2023?
I'm on the preliminary waiting list for NYCHA, I'm well aware of their faults, but with rent that cheap, some things I can fix on my own. Give the boot to those not paying AND hasn't deposited prior months rent into a holding/savings account. Those that did show they intend on paying once the repairs are finished, those that don't are just looking for a free ride.
So true, they werent paying and now they are complaining about housing conditions.
It’s income based.
@@Ap_twshI don’t think the stack of work orders constitutes saying nothing.
I live in housing & a lot they won't ALLOW u to do, things as simple as paint. U do & they're quick to violate u, charge u & evict u. I have blk mold in my bathroom I spray w bleach. They painted over it once yrs ago. It's really sad. When I 1st moved in the temp in the apartment wld n 50 degrees, they tried blaming it on the couch, windows not being locked. U can't put in ur own conditioner in/out, they have to do it for $25 each time. It's really sad. These bldgs r old as dirt w upgrades few & far between. They dnt care abt us. I nvr got a notice saying my rent went up last yr by $8, dnt u one I got an eviction notice. Nvr bn late or any issues. Had to pay $30 "late fee" for $8 I didn't even know abt. Horrible. I'm grateful for the 30% of income rent it's just illegal how they make us live
You are better off getting your own apartment, not rely on govt
Rent should cover 100% of NYCHA’s operating budget. What business that still exists whose income is just 33% of its Expenses? you need over 100% to be considered profitable. What a ticking time bomb.
New York plans to use $25 million in state funds to rent temporary homes for up to 1,250 asylum-seeking families who opt to leave New York City's crowded shelters.
Gov. Kathy Hochul and state lawmakers approved funding for voluntary relocations in the state budget adopted in May. It was part of a $1 billion allocation for housing and services for tens of thousands of asylum seekers who have been bused to New York City from the southern border over the last year.
her kids can’t provide her $243 per month 😂
Did she say she cant afford her rent ? No.
Why should they pay that rent? It’s disgusting, terrible place to live. It isn’t fit to live so you shouldn’t have to pay rent.
So leave………
@@Xx5thofHennyxX I actually don’t live there so I can’t leave I was just telling those people my opinion
Right. This has been going pn for years. The only way to have then fix anything is to stopped paying rent.
If the leak was fixed get a bottle of mold remover and clean it its on the floor its when you leave it to spred and start going up walls that in becomes a problem yes the landlords are responsible for some things like your pipes leaking but you living with filth aint one of them looks like it was under her fridge or something she moved out of the way to take a photo hard part is done so get a mop and bucket and a bottle of disinfectant or mold remover 😂
As bad and wrong as this is with landlords ignoring important issues, let’s keep some of tbis real, some people leave things to fester and don’t always live totally hygienic…. Let’s be 100% why leave it there too spread? Bleach disinfect, like we gotta take care of these. Units
Somebody has to give the city money before it can spend money.
😲😂 migrants on a 5 Star hotel
Just make them free. The city makes enough to provide free housing
Asylum Seekers crisis - The next step: NYCHA residents' replacement?
If you say this sounds silly and crazy I'll remind you what you would think about the situation a year ago.
MAY 17, 2023 - Mayor: Nearly 50% of NYC Hotel Rooms Filled by Migrants, wrote NBC New York
About 43,000 Asylum Seekers were placed in NYC hotels.
Living for free, getting three meals a day, healthcare, and pocket money encourages much more to come into the city.
And Asylum Seekers need a place to live.
Wait how much was rent? Bro let me be the super
Let us not forget the corruption. It goes to the top
If they refuse to pay rent then dont fix the apartment issues. Thats how it works. No one gets free rides.
Even when they pay their rent, nothing is getting fixed dummy
You get what you pay for
It’s always like that but money for expensive brand and beauty there have the money 💰 that is something what I don’t understand
She said that she developed COPD? To my understanding the leading cause of COPD is smoking, or being around people who smoke a lot, or exposure to chemicals. I was also diagnosed with COPD which was caused due to nycha repeated asbestos abatement, and mold abatement.
New York city housing authority being a shame about not giving us tenant service!
How about suing NYCHA?
If a lawyer will make 5000 from that deal, landlords will double it, and you lose your case ... the scary part in NYC is that you don't have where to complain
they need to evict her
Identify as an immigrant 😊
NYCHA now knows how landlord feels during the pandemic! Suck it up!
200 dollar rent? You get what you paid for..
All these non-producers / medicaid burnouts
you are a renter you have a due diligence of maintaining cleanliness the biggest fail is water is water coming from the tenant above
Where I live, the landlord is supposed to fix thing’s.
well most people who aren’t lazy fix the things in the house they live in and not put the responsibility of every little thing on another person if you’re OK with living in filth , just admit it instead of always blaming the landlord
@@Hurpdurpdipidydoo Does that look like the work of a non contractor? Are you blaming residents for the negligence and the deteriorating nature of these old and decrepite buildings?
@@Hurpdurpdipidydoo It’s The Housing Authority Policy up here for The Landlord to fix the thing’s.
This has nothing to do with lazyness.
@@HurpdurpdipidydooI know you never lived in a nycha apartment.
@@Brix098 your not wrong, except I guarantee if these buildings were just built, these people would treat them the same way.
Pay your rent or leave apartment and let someone else take it. No tax payers need pay for your rent
Ghetto!!
YOU dont paid rent it dont get fixed ! YOUR ACT LIKE THESE MIGRANTS , OH WAIT A MINUTE WHAT THAT LADY NAME ? EXPECT EVERYTHING FOR FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
So many entitled people, I mean "victims". Poor me always sound better.
Its still better than most housing in sub Saharan Africa 😂
How do you know?
Go live there for awhile and tell us about it.
Lol, evict them. Problem will go find a tent to crap in hahahaha.
i like how they always behind rent but the same ones are all smoking and drinking outside and i know all of them cats up the block all nycha leeches they even get free internet so they can be on tik tok all day with their new iphones and all wearing jordans . what's outrageous is myself working 2 jobs to pay my 1700 dollar rent and working 6 days a week and i dont get snap like these people so i have to buy 300 dollar groceries every week tell me whos off better !
Exactly
Damn you must stressed working 2 jobs working 6 days a week gotta pay that 1700 for rent and 1200 for food with no food stamps and you don’t live in NYCHA someone’s mad😂😂
@@lawanahedgepeth8630sounds like a hardworking American sick of parasites leeching off him
@@lawanahedgepeth8630 if you ever work you would know 🤣
U have right bro and everybody looking good have money for dress and beauty but no money for rent this is something what I don’t understand.
Bad business being a landlord. Not worth it.
Nycha is the landlord, not an individual person.
