- For many, the astronomical rent increases are impossible to keep up with. From December 2020 to December 2021, rent prices in Miami rose 49%.

I own 12 rental houses in West Michigan, Grand Haven. A very desirable area. For decades. My rents I've Only EVER raised based on increases I get from my increased insurance bills, water bill. I keep up on maintenance. Improvements too. Shame on any landlord that makes such unreasonable increases. I Still Make plenty of $$. This is vile Immoral GREED.
True. It will be not end well. The reckoning is going to to be e very ugly.
@@ey67 I genuinely feel bad for Americans all over our nation. The Low to Mid Income Particularly. In my early adult years,,a couple/family could with only one spouse working -Save, Build,Buy an actual HOME. MERE factory workers or grocery store clerks, etc. One should ask themselves today WTF went wrong. Cold Blooded Unfettered American CAPITOLISM seems to be a moral Failure. Dont get me wrong,, I'm all for Individualism, making your own "Millions"by your own hard work. But something went wrong last 50 yrs.In an Actual American Dream for the Low income but hardworking citizens!!
@@alphaomega5909 yeah I feel bad for me too. I am 72 and live in a 2002 Chevy suburban. Fascist Republicons on the rise since before fdr died. They succeeded and since 70% of congress is lawyers. They were all bought and paid for on all sides decades ago. Where is this surprise, surprise, surprise as goner pyle would say coming from. Metastatic end stage capitalism Americans are too stoopid to live. Crumbling house of cards. I'll be dead but would like to have seen the demise. It will be quite a scene. The mea culpa Republicons are all on the talk shows screaming how could they have known this was going on while they engineered it. Laughable. America has been a fascist country for a VERY long time. Let's ask that genius Palin how's that working out for ya. Clown car on fire.
Well, in America they call being Evil & Greedy, “capitalism.” The supply & demand concept is pure bullshiit. Just because people want a product doesn’t mean you have to drain them for their money. What’s wrong with making a profit and at the same time giving the Poor Man a break. The Producer & Consumer need each other. And for you Sir, that’s good that you don’t price gouge, but sometimes you business owners need to just bite those expenses instead of passing it on to the Poor. Ain’t that part of business..??? Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. High risk, high reward.. but the burden seems to always fall back on the average working man.
‘Last shall be First’ you have a choice not to be a working man. The comments here are ridiculous. Price gouging is awful but not as bad as others who can’t figure out how to survive in the richest country in the world. Why would people give you anything if you can’t even extend the dignity you demand to them?
that house isnt even worth the $1800. More like $1000 to $1200 because of the multiple rooms.

I own 6 rental properties. I haven't raised my rent in 5 years. An when I did it was because the city raised my property taxes and other bills. South Florida is just getting ridiculous right now.
So Florida has been ridiculous for the past decade at least.
Yeah it ain't just south Florida bro.
So if rent went up $300 in one unit per month, that's $3600 per year per unit, times how many units you own and your bills went up that much? Hard to believe unless you're a very bad businessman.
GOD BLESS YOU
What do you charge
I absolutely hate it. Part of the reason I went into travel nursing. My 1/1 apartment started at 1200 about three years ago. Now can you believe a studio is 1500-1600 and 1/1s are going for 2000 for bare minimum? This is broward county, wouldn’t even dare go into Miami.
The labor is so cheap in Florida and ordinary people can barely afford to pay rent now. So many people moved here since covid. There is always traffic even on the weekends.

@Tanisha Lee Jones 💯 I cannot believe the traffic! I moved here in Jan and would neva recommend relocating here. I had to for certain reasons, if not for that I'd of bounced upon arrival.
When I lived in Fort Lauderdale, I made about 51K, now doing the same job in Northern VA, I am paid 75K, plus a 20% annual bonus. I lived in a studio in Victoria Park, now I own a condo. Long story short, get your car on the Amtrak in Sanford and make your way to up!
@@TheJiggs666 been here in ft Lauderdale since Jan 🤯... Came from MN
It's the same thing in Browrd County as well. I just saw my old apt in Ft.Lauderdale that I was paying $800 for a 1/1 three years ago is now going for $ 2,200. A friend of mine's old apt he just moved out a year ago was going for $1,100 is now listed for $2,000. Who the hell can afford to live there anymore ??
Tell it! People need to understand this is nationwide and without a remedy in sight, and there isn't one, we ARE going to crash.

Miami has always been expensive city to live in. But that it a huge price hike. It's all about greed. They got paid their back rent through the rental assistance. Now they want to price this man and his kids out.
According to the news report the tenant was behind on close to one years rent which was paid off by the rental assistance program. A program that was designed to assist people who were out of work.... By the looks of the front yard of this property, this guy has been working the whole time, not paying rent, and all of a sudden finds issues with a apartment he has been living in for years but doesn't want to leave. Funny how people are quick to point the fingers at landlords but leave out the fact that scenarios like this is why rents and everything associated with housing has gone up in price.

I was very much in the same boat. Born and raised in Broward. I moved to another state for work and want to come back. I can't belive how much the prices have gone up in just 4 years being away, I can't afford to come home. Good luck with getting a house, thats part of the dream!

Not that I disagree with you - but this has been an on going problem in south Florida for years. Housing is simply not affordable compared to what residents earn
Miami is getting New York rent.
More then a year
It’s been in massive decline for 2+ years
Yeah let's keep voting for socialist democrats, they're doing a great job!!!
Big rent increase often means “I want you out”. I was renting a 1+1 (750sf) my for 30 years, starting from $525 and $850 when I moved out last year (a 1+1 not remodeled goes for $1800). It is located in a very trendy part of town where many Hollywood celebrities live on the hillside. I knew my rent was low so I kept quiet, never late and never asked for repairs. Landlord rather keeps good tenants than drives them out.
So? Owning property is a BUSINESS. A business in which the owner makes money. Why is every other business ok to turn a profit but landlords are demonized? If you don’t like it buy your own house or move where you can afford.
@lisa you really don't get it do you?
People csnt just move, 99% live check to check, have multiple working people inside the unit just to pay the rent
This is not acceptable to raise it
@@richterman3962 You don't get it

@Haley Tathem .. sure thing, who here right now can afford to do that, wake up already. I guess you don't realize with buying a house you have the mortgage and property tax that go's up every year along with up-keep on the home .. lets not forget the utilities that go up every 6 months.

@@Heart2HeartBooks .. do you have proof of that or are you just making it up, show us that facts.
This is disgusting. I am a landlord and would never do this to my tenants. Greed to the max. There needs to be legislation on rent control. People start demonstration on the important things happening in people's lives. The inflation statistics are lies:. Gas up 25 percent, housing up 45 percent, rent up 100 percent. Even the dollar store is up 25 percent.
Bless you landlord, I think most folks are talking about "Slumlords" not "landlords" like yourself.
If landlord cost go up tenants costs have to go up too. Don't blame it on us.
The greedy real estate investment companies are giving good landlords a bad name!
In my hometown in California I met a woman in the food bank line, waiting for food. She looks nice still but has terminal cancer and her and her husband moved here for the perfect weather. They felt lucky to find a one bedroom apt for 🥁 drumroll…$2700 a month.
@@i.m.7710 California has lost all it's luster as a place to live.
my reward for not missing a single payment through the pandemic since march 2020 is a rent hike from $1350 to $1700 for a 500 sqft studio apt. lol saving to buy a place soon but i'm outta this tiny unit
I’m so sorry. People like you get the shaft even though you did the right thing. Us responsible ALWAYS get the shaft, tax payers get screwed by these people. I hope you find a place.
A landlord i know literally said she can charge what she wants because she knows they don't have choices. She also said landlords nowadays can choose the pick of the litter because, again, she has the power.
She said this proudly too. No exaggeration. She truly enjoys ripping people off so she can live a little better.
That will change. Pride goes before the fall.
The reason we need rent control, show up at your city council meetings.
Dude , you guys are starting to pay L.A. prices in Florida.. Here in L.A 2 bedroom apartment 3k , rent a room in a shared apartment $1,600.. rent a sofa to sleep on $ 800.
Vegas getting really bad too. It's almost in affordable now.
The increase in rent is being seen all around the Miami dade area. My rent went from 2200 to 2700…smh. Knew that was going to happen due to the increases seen in property taxes. The government are raising taxes to meet their financial debts, which is wrong.
Same here in broward. Went from 1450-1900…. Way too expensive for a single income!
Property taxes and insurance both went way up. I bought a townhome last year and my insurance doubled and is almost 5k this year!
That’s not why. Much likelier causes are influx of new and more wealthy residents and inflation
State of Florida collected an extra $140 million in property taxes last year.
Yes that and the fact that no one paid for 2 years and homeowners lost everything. Homeowners need to make up the losses. Blame the cdc
I rent to tenants but they don't pay near what the market is forcing people to pay, like in the thousands per month. Unlike some of these landlords, I get by fairly well without having this GREED mindset, which is all this is. Human beings can be disgusting when you factor in the GREED mindset
U right and keep doing the good work ur doing
use your greed to get the most of your money ??????? exactly what you are dong. greed is good. made me work hard
I have a variable interest rate on my mortgage which means my monthly loan payments will be going up soon. I have 7 tenants so do you think I can keep rents the same? No, my greed will have to match their greed.
@@crand20033 Blame YOURSELF. You made a really poor choice for an APR vs a FIXED RATE not me. My rate now is 2.3%. Why would you go with such a poor product???
@@benvarela4472 That's what was offered and all I could qualify for from the builder. After I got the house I lost my job so I got 7 tenants to help me pay for it but I never could qualify for refinancing because I have no personal income. It has been a ride from hell because many times I bad tenants who can't pay or don't/can't behave.
I own 30 units across Orlando, sanford, and Kissimmee, and the only thing i am increasing is my availability for repairs. My mortgage payments hasn’t changed, just tax a small amount, but when building supplies start to lower people that are gouging rates now will be scrambling for tenants. A 33% rent increase makes me sick especially when its a person’s second, third, fourth home. If heII is a place, its seemingly getting more crowded over the course of these two years
The real question here is why are these single family homes owned by investors instead of by the people who live in them? Why are we allowing the investor class to keep stealing our homes out from under us with endlessly more creative market manipulation and predatory loan schemes?
Single family homes of the type shown here were never meant to be owned by absentee investors. Single family homes were always meant to be owned by those who live in them. Those who wish to invest in real estate rentals should be given the option to invest in commercial apartment complexes and commercial spaces such as stores, warehouses, offices, and manufacturing facilities. Ownership of single family residential real estate in the USA should be mandated for US citizens and legal green card holders only.
Some homeowners are selling out
At the end of the day... when you see hard working Floridians...the ones who are your teachers, bankers, civil servants not be able to stay in the area they were born and raised in to basically gentrify and allow cash deals from investors and out of state speculators... Florida is losing. Good luck!
Exactly!
We're going to need it ☹️😞☹️
I am a landlord. I try to rent
fairly. I am sure I could get $1,000 or more for my cute 3 bedroom cottages but I base the rent on the person's income. I start at 500.00 per month. I have the best tenants ever because they know it's not possible to have a nice, renovated homes that cheap. I work and I manage to live comfortably with what I have. I am blessed because I help others.
Blessings for you!

You are blessed Kitty...take this time to love your parents and learn everything you. An about homeownership.
It’s interesting how people always act like a buying home is better and safer than renting a home either way it goes OK you rent a home you have to pay the landlord he pays Bank you own a home you have to pay the bank if you rent a home and you missed a few payments you’re going to be evicted if you own a home and you miss a few payments you going to be evicted is the same thing you don’t necessarily own the Home Straight out until it’s completely paid for because if you miss a payment the bank will take your Home ?
@@lisatillett4960 that’s why you shouldn’t miss any payments and know how to manage your money .. renting is pointless you’re just handing money to a landlord and they can raise the price whenever they want .. buying a home is an investment..
You had dammned well better take GREAT care of those amazingly generous parents of yours!!!
@@bs4real I definitely do :)
Home insurance companies also went up substantially.
And property taxes have gone up
You are right, my homeowners ins increased by $300 this year, although I have never had a claim. I changed ins. companies, and saved $1100 on the change.
Ms. L. Churchill
The State of Florida needs to stop raising property taxes on rentals and investment properties. They are also to blame for these steep rental increases.
Ummmmm....no it's not 🚫
Florida just gave investors a tax break that mirrors the homestead exemption during the most recent election. If you voted, certainly you saw it on your ballot. Sad part is, I'd bet, the lions share of renters that voted, voted to pass this tax shelter for their landlord. People go into the booth and vote on issues they know little to nothing about!! It's not hard to study your ballot before entering the booth.
It’s not just happening in Florida
Insurance on my 2/1 condo is 7,000 per year. It’s not ALL greed.
Hey if this guy would have kept the place clean instead of turning the house into a junk yard maybe things would be different. Oh poor poor Victim, didn’t he say that the landlord had been payed the back rent by the government, how much more help does this guy expect.
I was thinking the same thing. And where is code enforcement. No way I will live around that.
C'mon you can't expect someone to help themselves, the govt will do it 😀
👍
I know it's disgusting and unacceptable..
Said landlord got 18k. That covers 10 mos. What about all the other months he didn’t pay? This is why rent are going up. Landlords have lost everything while squatters stay then get help from tax payers. Ya that’s fair. What happens if my mortgage isn’t paid? I lose MY home. Squatters got to stay for FREE in SOMEONE ELSE’S HOUSE!
3 bedroom house- 800 per room….that’s insane especially being the fact that the house is probably paid for already and they are paying wayy above the monthly property tax which means the extra money is just being pocketed by the owner ! Sick world

The wages and the rent situation does not equal! Key West had a similar problem! It is so bad now that the NAS base (Navel Air Station) can no longer aquire civilian contractors! An small home exceeds a million dollars and contractors simply cannot afford it!

My tenant is wonderful so I only raise the rent about $25. If she were not a good tenant I would increase it to where she could not afford it. She pays $1335 in a two room condo in Kendal. Why? She takes care of my property and pays on time - even through the pandemic. I could easily rent that condo for $2500 which is what the comparable rents in that area are.
Thank you for keeping your morals. Wish there were more like you.

You’re disgusting for even inferring that if she wasn’t a good tenant you would make it so she couldn’t afford it.

When he leaves the landlord will clean up his mess. Always the victim
Cheryl, having a RV can be trouble too. One has to park it somewhere (especially for the sake of water and electric hook-ups.
RV Parks are becoming just as fierce. The price for a space can be just as close as some rent. Who wants to pay "rent" twice?
It really needs to be a crime it's ridiculous I live in broward County area my landlord went up on my rent as well I'm forced to stay because 1 bedrooms are at the price I'm paying for a 2bedroom/2 bath not to mention when you see the requirements for most apartments they are asking that you make 3x the rental amount and jobs aren't paying you that much it's really scary knowing that you can easily be homeless or a family of 4 or 5 piled up in a 1 bedroom just to get by
The administration wants the 4 or 5 piled up in a 1 bedroom. They want more people in fewer houses all in the cities, but they don't see that the people don't have the money.
He said he is doing everything by himself and that needs to change. The wife can get a job, and for his disabled son, he might be able to get social security. Be a good tenant, clean up the place, it matters. Ray said he is a handyman, offer to do repairs on the property as part of 'paying' the rent.
That's a good suggestion and I totally agree with you.
More than likely the whole family is living on the sons Social Security check and food stamps. The dad doesn't really have a steady income and makes his money side hustling as a handy man.
His wife is not there he is a single dad. Landlord doesn't make any repairs. He pays rent certain repairs need to be done by the landlord as it's his business. Rental is not up to code.
If he's a handyman why didn't he fix some of the problems with the property. Also, it doesn't look like Ray is doing his part keeping up with the property.

$1800 up to $2400, Damn, that's insane. It has a lot to do with the eviction moratoriums which screwed landlords out of billions of owed money.
Yes he said the landlord got some money from govt. I’ll bet you it wasn’t even half of what this guy DIDNT pay. The eviction moratorium was illegal and th elect media portrays the tenants only, never mind the landlord who has lost his life savings because of squatters.
Raising the rent where no one can afford it is not gonna help them...lol.
B*******! Those landlords never lost a God damn dime!
@@cassandra9699 you’re delusional if you think that. Would you go to work for free? And do it for 2 years? Nope. That’s exactly what you squatters have done to landlords. You aren’t entitled to THEIR HOME. He or she is providing a service, it’s a business. Why can’t people understand that? You have no problem paying for any other thing you need, why is paying for your place to live so evil? Don’t like? Buy your own house then see how fast the bank takes it when you don’t pay the mortgage. Bank doesn’t care if you lost your job or any other reason. People have lived for free and are still complaining. You seem to think it’s your ‘right’ for a place to live. It’s not. Pay or get out like the rest of us
No one in their right mind is going to pay $2400/mth to live in a home like that😒 …some increases are warranted, but a lot of these landlords are delusional af
I bought my house for 246k and 4 houses down from mine on the same street there’s a house being sold for 699k same size how is this possible. I would’ve never been able to afford this house if I bought now.
It’s called inflation
This was bound to happen since everybody from large cities woke up one morning and all decided to move to Florida. Greed then took over and here's the result. Everyday hard-working people are forced out, and landlords are whistling all the way to the bank. All the people from NYC that are bailing out due to crime and cost of living are in for a shock if they think prices aren't going to increase in Florida. It's common sense. People suddenly are abandoning large cities and racing to places like Florida and Texas, so as a result you can expect major increases in goods and services. I'm from NYC and now live in Texas, because my job moved here. I'm shocked to see what people are willing to pay for my house and even as much as $50k over the asking price. My property taxes doubled this last year. I've owned the house for years, and 41 years ago, property here was a steal. Now, because of all the people moving here everything has gone up. I paid $250 a month rent when I first moved here, brand new building , all the amenities, they even let you pick your carpet color and counter tops, all that for $250.00 a month, swimming pool, tennis courts, a large wraparound terrace. Now, rents are almost as high as NYC. That's just the way it goes.
That's a shame. We treat illegal aliens, who feel entitled not to learn English better. New Yorkers are desperately scrambling around trying to find a financially safe place to live in this country. And we beat them up and punish them when they arrive? Do you have any idea the bravery and risk it takes to move to the other side of the country? Jobs and well thought out plans can be ripped away in the process of moving. I guess when Floridian's are forced to start running away to Arkansas, the natives will talk the same trash about Floridians. Nobody is going to talk trash about the elephant in the room raising prices and ruining everybody's life.

Not all landlords are whistling to the bank. Property taxes and insurance doubled, there's also a significant increase in materials and services for repairs and maintenance. Not all landlords can afford to eat the costs so the rents raise. Then, the locals can't afford the rent so the migrants from other states move in, displacing locals. It's not always the landlords fault. If the Democrats didn't make life so difficult for people, they wouldn't leave those states causing this bullshit were seeing now.
Same thing is happening in NWA, most are coming from California but it has resulted in a housing shortage and massive rent increases. New apartment buildings are popping up everywhere. Homes sell as soon as they hit the market for over value and cash purchases. That craziness is now spilling over to SWMO, house prices have went way up and new subdivisions are now being built and I bet every home is already purchased. I am glad I bought this home before all of this, I would not have stood a chance in todays housing market.
Ive met him before cuz he likes my weird van. Hes a good dude. This is sad. Im going thru it too. My rent went from 1360 to 2000. Im getting pushed out my home also
Guess a lot of people in this country are going to have live among nature/the elements like the original native Americans.
Priced out of my $1,600 a month went to $2,500 in Beautiful upgraded 3/2 with land in pompano Beach. Became homeless and lost many belongings. Thankful to secure a tiny efficiency and then a small apartment... but the apartment is still $2,000 a month in a hood plus utilities. Absolutely unbelievable! 🤯 I feel like I'm spinning off the world
We need rent control show up at city council meetings and make your voice heard the greedy will take everything from us then pushes us onto the streets so someone else can move in, rent control now.
This is so Sad!! WTFF .. what can renters do? Are there petitions. How is this possible. SO fucked up on so many levels.
@@jacobnapkins1155 Here! Here!
I completely agree. The general public do need to get involved. I would strongly imagine that a determined capacity crowd at these meetings would certainly unnerve local councils into taking action. Residents being visual and vocal will keep them on their toes. It's rather like having a loved one in a nursing home; if the staff there know that someone is looking out for them they're less likely to be abused.
@@veronicadare9047 It sure is, Nation wide too, quite prolific. Poor peeps in worst strife than even I've know. If I may get personal; the saddest part for me was giving up my animal rescue fostering and rehabilitating.
That really broke my heart💖🐾😺
$2k a mo in the hood?! That's starting to sound like SoCal prices
Hell I'm from California and I was priced out of my own state. Their Rent is over priced. I'm not working just to get by. As much as I miss my home state I won't go back. When I go out there for a visit it looks like a 3rd world country. It's so sad too. I had an amazing childhood.
It is really bad in Orlando, also. The rent is beyond reason for the money that the folks make from their jobs. A small 1 bed apt is around $2000/month nowadays. The demand goes up for a place to live and so does the rent and value of homes as more people move down to FL. You have to fight to buy a house thru an auction to get a house now. Crazy!!!!
I just rented a 3br 1ba house for $600.00 in a very desirable area near downtown in my hometown. It was truly a miracle from God.
What is your hometown?
1,800 is a fat mortgage payment
Correct
Yeah, that BS happened to me during the 07-08 crisis, so I made a plan and worked it, and now that problem will not repeat itself. There is something to be said for not living on credit or beyond your means, being responsible, and being prepared.
I too live in Florida and this is why I'm buying a van and creating a living space out of it (cabinets, a sink, ect) inorder to save 30K+ to buy a Tiny house in cash. I want to always have a home of my own outside of friends and family.
That's too much of a raise I understand 100-200 dollar increase but that's a ridiculous amount those property owners will end up with vacant homes for a while unless they sell
Florida needs, starting 100 years ago, to stop selling homes to foreigners!!!
Texas, Florida, Nevada, the No Income Tax States People Move there for Low Cost Issues & Their getting 🤬 Hosed!
Now explain to me why would you increase the rent to a place that does not look like the landlord has not kept up with. 2 what cost has the landlord accrued to raise the rent if mortgage is fixed no hurricane so insurance should be at bay. Pure greed is all I see and the state needs to cap the rent
Because everything else has gone up u got to be a landlord to understand that
Insurance premiums have increased substantially upon renewal, so have property taxes.
@@thetahedgecapital1008 Insurance premium for a DP3 policy is less expensive than a HO3 policy. Property taxes are not going to go up that much for a landlord that has bought that home years ago.
@@N_tha_neww What has gone up? Taxes are not much of an increase if you have own the property over 5 years. Nope it’s pure profit. Plus the government gave money to landlords
Doesn't matter what type of policy.... We have seen increases in premiums across the board, for both auto and dwelling. Yes the mortgage MAY BE fixed, but the taxes can and in our case HAS increased substantially.... Not to mention increases in utilities.... Imagine having to pay for water / sewer or anything for that matter for a year on a property that you are not collecting rent on
It's not just in Florida or just in Miami it is across the whole nation. Rent in our little area in the last 14 to 16 months has went up around 200 to $250 a month more than what we were paying. That's just in the last year.
Ain't no way I am paying $1800 for that. Nope not even $700
My goodness look how he cares for the property 😳. Landlord Raising the rent will get that tenant out an owner will get a loan an bring the property back to normal condition then move a sec 8 tenant or army vet in for guaranteed rent price. When I moved to Miami from Boston I rented from a private owner who told me she refused to rent for two yrs to anyone in florida cause THEY DONT TAKE CARE OF THE PROPERTY AN WANTED TO AVOID THE HASTLE TO GAIN SQUATTERS! I moved out a few years later but after being here 9 hrs people live so NASTY 🤢 AN DONT CARE FOR MOST PROPERTY IVE SEEN!
Maintaining a house and/or a yard just takes few minutes a day. Plant flowers, plant trees, plant bushes and make a little pond with cheap/clearance items from walmart or home depot.
But people are lazy and have ZERO EMPATHY for their environment or frontyard/backyard.
His house/lot could look like a paradise if he planted stuff, but it looks like a junkyard. Shame.
I think that’s probably why he’s in the predicament
You are exactly right. This guy complaining about the house and doesn't take proper care of the house and junks it up. Since the renter doesn't like the house he can move his junk elsewhere.
The pandemic has created this as a nationwide problem. I've lived in the Bay Area where it's been a problem for years and completely insane. You can imagine in San Francisco on the surrounding areas agreed that has taken over over the last 10 years because of all the inward-bound movement etc. Because of a state law that allows landlords to evict tenants by saying they're going out of the rental business, thousands of people have been thrown out of their homes. This has led to the amount of homeless people drug addicts etc tents that you see on the news about San francisco. People manage to have a place to live and be safe because they could share apartments together. When they all started getting thrown out on the street everything in the city changed. California in general is this way. As it is it costs a lot to live here between sales tax state tax gas tax etc it's crazy. I myself am a landlord and I'm very reasonable in what I charge my tenants I don't charge them what I could get I charge them what is fair. Unfortunately capitalism along with LLC companies buying a real estate, coupled with foreign investors who buy things and leave them all empty has created the situation where no one cares about anyone and it's all about money. It's a sad sad State of affairs and our government does nothing ever, but we can give 10 billion dollars to Ukraine.
The Bay Area is completely different from anywhere else in the US. San Jose is the 4th wealthiest place in the WORLD This brings a huge money influx into the Bay Area. The homeless problem was not created by high rents. These are mentally ill people and CA is the only state in the US where you can live outside all year round. It is a sad state of affairs but life is not fair. The wealth inequity is not going away
That’s because it is the government who has caused this all to happen. Why would they help? It’s been intentional for years. They know what they are doing. Shady things going on in other countries, that’s where the money is going. Not sure why people don’t see it.
This is so very true. I live in the middle of San Francisco in a rent controlled studio apartment. I retired early 11 years ago ago. I contemplated moving to "cheaper Seattle, Arizona, Florida, Idaho or some other such place but that still small voice said "dont. Glad I listened.
All these places are now almost as expensive as California. My rent is easily affordable but I stay prudent and DO NOT own a car, do NOT carry cc debt, and eat out or take out sparingly and make coffee at home.
Thr pandemic lock down made me SEE so many folks were unprepared and this building emptied out by 75% and stayed that way almost two years. It also made me realize how much money we waste on crap and when SHTF you have no backup.
An example is how EDD failed so many who needed that money to survive.
Again you right. So many syndicates, foreign and domestic are gobbling up property and then squeezing the life out of folks who just can't keep up. My two sisters in south Georgia just saw their rent go from 515 a month to 915 after a syndicate bought up the properties on their block. One moved in with her co-worker boyfriend. The other with her ex-husband.
My well heeled sister in south Florida lives in a Sarasota mansion with her husband. Everytime I visit every 4-6 months the sprawl has gotten worse, the traffic crazy and the have/have not ratio glaring. I went to undergrad and grad school in Florida and remember when Florida was mostly a dump.
I'm senior now so as long as this place holds and rent control doesn't get voted down I doubt I'll being moving anywhere-except the funeral home.
Mexico is too dangerous now and the Caribbean too stormy and the rest of the world sees American retirees and they too jack up the prices.
One last thing. The drug and homeless problem in San Francisco is heartbreaking. Civic center, tenderloin, etc. Sadly, it'll probably get worse.
@@b4804514 It was created by a combination of factors and that includes high rents. But rents can only go as high as the market will bear. The bay area is/was such a desirable place that people flocked here in 60s and 70s. Demand eventually exceeded supply and the market corrected.
Then pandemic aids hit and changed everything along with 2 or 3 recessions followed up by the tech boom and bust and then the internet twitter, facebook came in paying "kids sky high salaries and the market corrected again to grab some of that money until 1 bedrooms in San francisco got up to 3500 or more. But there were many willing to pay it to live there.
Of course mental illness plays a BIG part as when I first came here I couldnt believe the CRAZY prople here. People who should have been in a managed care facility but weren't.
Then the drugs. The bay area and particularly San Francisco was party hearty for YEARS and the wine, coke, booze, weed and everything else flowed freely. It was (and is) a thriving industry and one could get ANYTHING they wanted. BUT many lost control and got strung out too deep and lost their jobs, housing, friends, families and in a lot of cases their minds. I saw many.
Yes one can live outside here but there are many homeless folks in L.A(downtown around 6th will shatter your soul)., New York, Buffalo, Philly, Atlanta, Washington d.c., Phoenix.
God help us.
Doesn't explain why the homekess don't leave such expensive area codes.
If I owned that property, I'd want them out also. Garbage everywhere, the liability of children living in the home with pests.. I'd want them out asap so I could chemically treat the home for pests then bring in a contractor to refurbish the house and property. With all the materials that family has on that property it would be impossible to clean things up. The guy says he's a jack of all trades but obviously doesn't show any respect for the home. It's not difficult to reset hinges on the front door and buy some gasket tape. He admits there is an active termite infestation why would he want to have his kids in that home he should ask for the return on his deposit and use it somewhere else to provide his kids with a better place to live. People like this are always looking to blame others for their problems and take advantage of others to be responsible for their living conditions probably has poor credit no money in savings and makes very little income because if he didn't he could pick up a mortgage on a house and pay a hell of a lot less than he would renting he probably has a criminal record and that's why he's in that situation.

In the Hammocks, association fees are going up by 300%. Three hundred percent. From > $200 every 3 months to $300 a month. And it is far worse in some other Hammocks communities. I have the flier if you are interest in the story.
HOA = communism
I feel sorry for anyone in this situation, but as a landlord myself, I’m doing the same thing. For over a year I had a tenant who wouldn’t pay and there was nothing I could do because of the eviction moratorium. Now I want top dollar if I can get it to recoup my losses. Sorry but that’s where we are today.
His landlord got the money. All of it was paid to him. He wasnt NOT paying rent. The landlord is a POS trying to get him out. Thats all. Greedy asshole.
How kind of you to make someone else pay for something someone else did.
Here we go again-this is how this country works. It’s sad. I have my lender calling me wanting me to take 100,000 out against my home since the value has gone up. This is the crap that put us in the situation 12 years ago when the housing economy crashed.
This is a shame !!!!! I live in Florida and it is getting ridiculous and UNAFFORDABLE!!!
If you're still working as a handyman and has to rent a house in an expensive city, don't ever start a family or bring them there. Make a small business in a cheaper city or make several online businesses
Actually as a "Handyman" he has the potential to make tons of money because of the location..... Handymen were in great demand during the pandemic, and are still in demand today. How is it that this guy hasn't paid rent in over a year, is still working, and had his back rent paid in full but is still not able to get on his feet? Something just ain't adding up.... And people have the nerve to call landlords greedy ????? How ?????
Two of the three trades they mention that he can do (or says he can do) are in high demand right now. I would agree, it is odd that he is not working as a mechanic full-time or self-employed as a handyman??
Handyman?
Looks more like the Samford &son junkyard.
@Haley Tathem not everybody in is smart or had access to knowing outside Thier bubble and people actively shame people for the no kids thing. I've told people I don't want kids because I can't see myself with time or money for them and they say"what a shame you'd make a good mother/ it's worth the sacrifice" I'm glad more people bare waking up to how stupid it is to live to work pay bills.instead of working to get life.
I grew up in Broward and outside of the weather the only other thing that made Florida great was the affordability- now that's out the window! New York Rent, Prices - New York Pay= Shithole state!
That math is accurate 🖥️
That’s exactly what y’all voted for
I will buy an RV and live in that if I had to. Would be way cheaper!!
Yes this is going on every where I am a living testimony. I’ve never seen anything like this before . Very strange 🤔 how can you pay 2000. A month when that s what most in the middle people make before taxes, ect ? It’s very much more to this , because it’s happening everywhere 🤔
The Great Reset
I just got a rent increase, AND my landlord suddenly decided to charge me for water and sewer usage for the last 6 months, but he just told me yesterday! I asked him why did he NOT TELL ME 6 MONTHS AGO? No answer! I don't mind paying water, but FREAKING LET ME KNOW AHEAD OF TIME! I have a decent job and I still can't afford to move to another apartment! It's insane! 2,000+ bucks for a one bedroom apartment, Seattle and outlining areas! It's crazy!
Holy cow. They are just doing whatever they want. This is anarchy!
You should be able to fight that if it wasn’t in your lease
I live in KCMO and l pay $1,687 rent went up twice sense l have been there 3 year's going to buy my own house 2023! Done paying for there vacation homes!
Fred Sanford here needs a Bible beatin' from Aunt Esther. "Clean up this mess, heathen!"
I'm in the Bay Area, so I am used to astronomical rent, but I am shocked to see these prices in places like Florida. I mean, a house that is in such a state of disrepair going for $2400 a month?!? I'm guessing the landlord wants this guy and his family out. Hopefully the landlord will do some repairs and rent it out at a reasonable rate. I mean, with perfect repairs that house could be an $1800 per month home (depending on the area).
It’s happening everywhere. I don’t live in Fla but mine went up 11 percent last year and 36 percent this year. Housing poor.
What us State?
@@olympic-ass-eater P.S. I like your handle 👍
Perhaps, this tenant can contact an Americans with Disabilities Act (son being in a wheelchair) attorney to help with housing or negotiations and repairs.
Since he is a handyman BUY a home from the city auction.
So... this dude has not been paying rent for a year, and the landlord finally gets paid because of federal bailout money... and this dude now feels entitled to stay in the place for which he still cannot make rent payments. Huh? Make it make sense. I feel bad that he made poor decisions with his life, but why should his landlord bear the financial burden of someone else's problems?
Did you even watch this video? The guy isn't complaining about the 1800, he's complaining about the 600 increase.

These increases are a hardship yes, but they are in line with the rest of the country. For many, many decades people who lived in the Southern states & the mid west had historically low living expenses, but as you can see this has changed.
The difference in the other states, as opposed to the southern and mid-western states, the wages were and still are much higher. To level the playing field, wages/salaries must be increased.
Ms. L. Churchill
Yes fine when does it end? The rest of the country is obviously out of line. There is a limit to what any market can bear. Should we raise wages to $10,000 a month across the board? Do you want to pay $1000 for a quart of milk or do you have an infinite supply of cash hidden under your mattress? It must stop at some point. 🤯🇨🇦😎
@@lizzardbits554
At some point it might stop, but it obviously is not going to anytime soon. I'm not saying it is right. For instance, yesterday, I saw advertised online two apartments, one for $6000, and the second one was for $5200. Oh, and by the way, one was a basement apartment at that, although they were 2 bedroom apartments. It was in NY, but that is NY, and, they were very narrow, with very little room
Ms. L. Churchill.
Not just Florida. I just came to Florida from Arizona. And the rents have increased 50% + there. People are so greedy.
It's a disgrace and this problem needs immediate attention. The property's are not even worth what the greedy person is asking, let alone a damn increase. Maybe it's time to venture to those abandon towns and open them back up on our own.
My rent went up from 1500 to 2k. I thought it was something I had done wrong for so much of my income to go towards housing. I moved out thinking I could find something different and I couldn’t.
People in the comments wondering why rent is going up in South Florida. Hello!!!! It's all of you people moving here from out of state! Stay in your own damn state and fix your own problems. Geez.
It's everywhere in the US bro
@@olympic-ass-eater Nope. It's worse I the sunbelt cuz everyone is moving to warm weather. Rent is still low in the Midwest and upstate New York.
Their government was making the rules. The only reason Florida wasn’t in the same boat is because Republican leadership refused. People were trying to get away from COVID protocols. There wasn’t much they could do.
@@NoName-ot8kl And you think Florida was empty before covid? What rock are you living under? COVID has almost nothing to do with Florida's current overpopulation and affordability crisis. People have been flocking to Florida since the mid nineties. It's the weather. Also Florida isn't the only conservative state with lax covid rules. That's half the country.
No one wants to admit that landlords collusion and greed are the root cause of mass homelessness. Their greed knows no bounds.
Not the average single landlord they barely break even. More like the mega corporations like blackrock that are buying up all the property and corrupt banks helping them
Same with us, our rent is $2300 and we’re gonna have to move
Rent in Florida should be regulated
I live in Los Angeles and have been in the same spot for almost 4 years and I know my rent is below the typical rates and it was like that even before I moved in. Landlord has never raised the rent on me. I like to think it's because I am an easy tenant and they never had to worry about me NOT paying. I don't plan on leaving anytime soon because like Florida it takes months to find something affordable and things go quick. If you see something you have to apply for it right away otherwise it will definitely be gone the next.
Sounds like your apartment may be protected under rent control. Apartment buildings built at a certain are protected.
You are living on the hope strategy of not getting that rent letter. Better idea us do your research on cheaper parts of US to live. Most cities don't have tents on sidewalks.
@@GUITARTIME2024 No, some times a landlord like myself just wants a good tenant who is constant on paying the rent. I own a house in Miami and I have rented my house to the current tenant for 5 years. I only charge him $1300 and have not raised the rent since they moved in. I guarantee you nowhere in Miami can you get rent that cheap. I have had bad tenants, so as long as my tenant pays and keeps the property up, than I won't raise the rent.
@@StarrdigitalProductions I'm a land and I have not raised the rent on my tenant for that very reason. They pay on time and have not missed a payment in 5 years. This is a property in Miami, and I only charge my tenant $1300 a month.
Part of the reason for these increases is property taxes and homeowners insurance increasing. Landlords increase the rent accordingly.
What’s the real reason behind the rent increase?
The cities in South Florida kept raising the property taxes during the pandemic, lumber and repair materials increased by up to 400% as did labor increased prices. Property insurance went from ridiculous to I sane, I mean a small 1200 sq. ft home insurance was 5000 now nearly 10,000 for hurricane coverage. Florida cities allowed tenants to not pay their rent for 18 months and no evictions allowed.! Landlords are trying to save their properties from foreclosure. At the same time a huge amount of people came into the market with cash in hand to pay. So goodbye old nonpaying tenants have fun finding a new place!
Demand. Every person who ever thought for a moment of moving to Florida has done it with the pandemic. Many have remote work & high income, they can live anywhere so they chose Florida. The rents went up because the replacement people are willing to pay the new rent. The trouble is, all the people who do physical work of any kind can no longer afford to live here. Restaurants are closed because they can't find any minimum wage workers anymore, they all left. The rent will continue to go higher until landlords can't fill units.
Greed.
Insurance. Especially a lot insurance companies don’t insure costal Florida, plus add hurricane insurance that can run $1200 and up
Key point is that he had not paid 18 grand and the landlord had to get money from a grant so yea If I was the landlord I'd be evicting him and replacing with someone more dependable, if I was this guy I think I would move to a state that has a lower cost of living he don't have to move far GA is right up the road and there are plenty places for less than 1800 bucks a month
When he does leave he’s gonna leave a mess so the owner is gonna have to pay a lot of money to get it up to par
Thanks for Sharing.💕
$2,500 rent for a 2 bed 2 bath apartment in Broward🙃 I love Florida but the cost of living down here is awful.
