Man, some neighbors. The fact they would kick you out of the neighborhood because you keep reptiles is ridiculous. Shame the landlord won’t even leave you alone
@@juelz713 He was aloud to have them but the neighbors did everything they could to kick him out. Even had animal control called. It's not fun living in a place where your hated and one mistake will get you kicked out.
As a general rule of thumb for any new renters who are seeing this video: 1. Always take a lot of pictures of every area of your living space BEFORE moving anything in. Use flash and a lot of angles. There really is no such thing as too many photos, especially if you notice anything like stains, scuffs, uneven surfaces, possible water damage or mold... 2. Email all of those pictures to yourself. This will provide an indisputable timestamp if you ever have to consult a lawyer. If you notice any issues, especially functional issues (a closet door has a broken hinge, etc.) send those images to your landlord with some basic questions. ("Hey landlord, I noticed this door is broken. How should I go about getting that addressed?") If you can get some record of their acknowledgement for those initial move in photos, this is even better for your case. 3. If your lease is up, make sure you get everything moved out on time and take your own photos of how you left things. Email these to yourself as well. Make sure you double check every cabinet and drawer and sweep/vacuum the floor to avoid getting flagged for late move out. 4. Finally, if a landlord attempts to deny your security deposit or charges you for things you didn't cause (unfortunately very common because it lets them improve the property out of someone else's pocket) CONSULT A LAWYER. Many will be willing to do a brief consultation on your case for free, and if you are low income many offices have resources or a sliding scale of fees to help you out. Seriously, depending on your state and it's renters laws, you could get 2-3 times your initial deposit back if your landlord is found in the wrong. Sucky landlords bet on the fact that most tenants won't bother pursuing civil damages when they do sketchy stuff like this. Hope this saves someone else from a sucky situation down the line.

Previous leasing agent here- I'd just add to make sure to run your hand over surfaces, especially kitchen counter tops. If the previous tenant didn't use a cutting board, make sure you note it. Some companies can be dicksneezes about that sort of thing.
I wouldn't call that pettiness. I call that revenge, and honestly deserved more. Me, I would have caught a whole bunch of gardener snakes, picked the lock on her door and fill her tub with them. If I had the chance without being caught that is. Basically, if you don't fuck with me, i won't fuck with you is my motto.
I loved that bit too. At my former house my landlord hated my cats and did some bullshit to them when I wasn't around (he filmed it and showed other people who told me), when I moved out i filled the vents with cat shit.
When I was younger, we had a neighbor that would murder squirrels with the end of a broom. We were big squirrel people and had 5 different rescues. Somehow bags of dog shit kept ending up in her yard.
Brother’s landlord did the exact same thing. My mom looked up the laws herself and brought it up to the landlord. Never seen a guy flip so fast lol. Suddenly everything was peachy and my brother had his deposit back.
We did this too. Lived in a college town going to college, lived with 2 other friends. Time to move out, landlord claims tons of damages. We had a walk through upon moving in and signed and gave it to him, but we made a copy too with dates and everything. He still said that wasn't enough proof and we would have to take him to court. Little did he know one of my housemates' dad is a lawyer and has his own law firm. Sometimes I wish I heard what was said on that phone call, because our landlord basically gave us the entire deposit back and waived the professional cleaning fee and wall repainting that we were expected to pay as per our lease
Land lords will try any thing till you say "my aunts is a lawyer do you mind if i check with her first." Little does he know you dont even have an aunt.
@@thelittleunicorn6196 It's super common in college towns. College kids don't know better, and are scared to ask their parents for help when they think this might just be a normal thing or get gaslit into thinking they are at fault.

That happened to me a lot when I left rentals *several different times with different rental companies*.

On top of that, in most states, there is a certain amount of expected, normal wear and tear damage that is pre-supposed to automatically happen in an average situation. And that can change depending on what they know you have when you sign the lease. For example, if they know, for a fact that I own a colony of 100 rats, or if I have 10 children when I sign the lease that the normal wear and tear for 10 children is more than renting to someone with zero kids, for example, and it usually works this way in courts as well.
Sounds like they just thought "Oh he has pets so they're probably responsible for everything." Even though a reptile in a terrarium is quite different from a dog or cat running loose all over the house... There were definitely leaves on the floor after I set up my terrarium too (springtail-food) but you can fix that with a vacuum cleaner...come on guys :p
Yeah I know all my neighbors hate snakes but we live kind of far apart and we all give each other some privacy and don’t decide which pets aren’t allowed
i've heard him state before he didn't want to move to a more rural area, given what he does for a living it would be the best place for him to live tho. I live about 30 miles or so from the nearest Walmart (and they're everywhere) if that tells you how rural the area i live in is. I've also had a bear steal my trashcan before lol
one apartment years ago tried to charge me for damages and in court they were using pictures from another unit just like mine but not the one i lived in. the small claims court judge threw out the case because they realized what was going on. people are sleezy and dishonest. as long as you have move in photos you should be fine.
Note to future renters: Always take pictures and document the condition of the place as you're moving in, if your landlord is willing, have them sign the photos or the envelope the photos are stored in/if digital have an email of you sending the pics to them and have them confirm they received the pictures so they cannot touch your deposit/pursue you for existing damages. It's super commonplace and hard to fight unless you have documentation of the condition when you moved in.
Ffs. What a mess. You dont deserve this crap dude. I'm just seeing this at work and I just want you to get a well needed break. Hopefully you get some time to relax without RUclips and those awful landlords after you. Best wishes.
"Im gonna go be obnoxious" We all want to do that when we leave a shitty place. Well done. Catharsis achieved. Also solution to refused meals: you freeze them again until it is time to take them to the trash to be picked up. No stank, no flies. That's how I handle the issue, anyway.
I think it's important to be clear on that fact: If your pet refuses to eat a prey item, do not re-freeze the prey item in order to try and thaw and feed it to your pet again another day. Repeated freezing and thawing causes massive bacterial build up in the prey item. You will make your pet very sick. If your pet refuses a feed item dispose of it appropriately.
Apparently reading comprehension is not a lot of people strong point. Never did I think you ment re freezing for later feeding. Also that's just a basic duh.
@@faithjolley6034 There's no harm in refreezing them until you throw your garbage away. Don't refreeze them to try and feed to animals. Do refreeze if you're being lazy and aren't taking it out to the trash immediately
Your videos are so cozy. You have such a chill/mellow personality and way of speaking I could listen to you talk about anything and it always just puts me in such a good mood! I love the vlogs!
a 2015 or newer transit connect is what I have on my radar, trying to decide if I would regret not looking at fullsize transits though. glad u like it!
I’m Japanese so I can read all perfectly! Came see the comments because of that 😂 all so strange words to read, out of blue so suddenly, especially the second last one, “grandpa” 🤣
I love your videos because I can listen to them while I do homework because you talk a lot (that's a good thing btw), where as other channels require you to visually see it.
Growing up in rentals the first thing I learned was in final walk through before move in to have the person walking you through sign and date a post it and put the post it in the frame of photos you take for "as is conditions". We would print out all the photos and keep it in a binder for move out day to get that fresh deposit back.
I saw the title without seeing it was post by you Alex and I thought it was clickbait then I saw it was you and I knew you were serious Edit: the one dislike is his landlord
Your experience with the landlords is like my worst fear. I only have 6monthe left at my rental house but I’m still worried they’ll find somthing to blame me for
I lived in a rental for 4 years and I hated every minute of it. It didn't help that the land lord was a space cadet. One of the happiest days of my life was getting out of there and buying a home. Took our three box turtles with us!
Got disabled a few years back---seriously envious of your youth, work ethic, and "Just do it-iveness" that you have, doing all that moving & lifting By. Yourself. Also, Good job documenting your rental outro--- and I'm truly sorry your life got so disrupted by a bunch of judge-*mental* eeeeediots... HOWEVER---I hope it comes to pass they actually did you a favor! Best of luck to you!
I wish I knew about emerald scales sooner before my green iguana died, no one would take her RIP spikes 2015- 2019. Your videos make me feel better thank you
Btw for advice, my aunt works with renting out houses and such, for a company, and they take pictures through the house before you move in and after, so if the renters do make damages to the house, they have proof. Also makes it so where homeowners can't blame you for any pervious damages. So if they say to you "Look for any problems in their house and write it down." Take pictures of all the rooms and damaged you see, go through the whole house.
I've been binge-watching this channel for days, and I could not put my finger on who this kid reminds me of, and it finally just came to me... Michael Cera. Not physically but his voice and his mannerisms and humor are spot on 🙃
That's why i keep few pets. I have 1 leopard gecko 1 house gecko 2 american toads and 1 cuban tree frog. None of which my dear old landlord knows about. Main reason is i don't talk about them outside friends and family and places like here. The landlord is an old goat that doesn't even use the internet so i have no worries of him ever finding out.
Hey just a tip about vans. I’m an Amazon delivery dispatcher and we rent vans of all different manufacturers. The transits are fine if you never plan to take it to a rural area. I recommend the Dodge ProMasters. They have sharper turn radius’s and do way better in rural areas where the transits tires will spin in place more often. We’ve had home owners call and demand we repair their driveway because a transit had to floor it to get up to the house.
@@krissy4052 of course they can drive but hard of hearing or deaf people are experienced in using visual clues and being hyper aware of what is happening around them in a car to drive. He doesn't have this experience making it more dangerous because when wouldn't be on alert like someone who has experience driving without sound would be.
With all of the craziness going on in the world, I cannot for the life of me see how and why landlords can continue to be so damn heartless and cutthroat
One recommendation for looking for a van is that if you cannot find/don't want an electric can you should look for flex fuel e85 vans as e85 is cheaper and better for the environment, hope that's helpful for anyone interested
We have a Fiat Doblò (first generation) it’s seen as one of the ugliest cars ever made but we love it! We called her Daisy and stuck a load of flowers on her ha! It’s a diesel but due to its shape it’s surprisingly aerodynamic and has a very low impact on the environment, we also don’t have to fuel it for like,,, ages each time lolol. It’s a smooth and easy drive too, I’m actually learning in it! It’s high up with really good vision and has the cute sound of an old school bus. They can also be converted from a four seater into practically anything ha! But yeah I’m not sure what diesel prices are like in the US but honestly Daisy is so cheap and eco friendly to run! Like even more eco friendly than some of our motorcycles :00 (This sounds like an ad lolol, good luck tackling that landlord!)
Make sure you stay on top of them about your proof that you didn't cause those damages. You can choose not to pay but they can still send the bill to collections and then you'll have to deal with a collection company, which is basically impossible unless you pay them. You should speak to a lawyer. 😬
You might not have been able to find the power button in the beginning, but I'LL pretend I didn't push the button on my screen trying to turn it off. Just woke up please don't tease me LOL

My dad has a Ford Transit Connect. Trust me, you do NOT want that car. He’s had it for like 4 years and it’s been recalled 2-3 times. There was almost immediately a leak in the sun roof, and now there’s a really high pitched squeaking noise whenever it goes above 70 on the highway.

Ask your landlord for an itemized list of damages/repairs as required by law in NC. 9/10 times the deduction from your deposit will magically dissapear or at least be drastically reduced once they have to prove that the money they're withholding is actually being used for repairs.

And that can change depending on what they know you have when you sign the lease. For example, if they know, for a fact that I own a colony of 100 rats, or if I have 10 children when I sign the lease that the normal wear and tear for 10 children is more than renting to someone with zero kids, for example, and it usually works this way in courts as well.
Sounds like they just thought "Oh he has pets so they're probably responsible for everything."
Even though a reptile in a terrarium is quite different from a dog or cat running loose all over the house...
There were definitely leaves on the floor after I set up my terrarium too (springtail-food) but you can fix that with a vacuum cleaner...come on guys :p

I feel bad that Alex lived in a neighborhood full of Karen's
Might I suggest renting in a more rural area if possible? Neighbors would be further away and probably more reasonable too.
Rural living's the greatest.
Yeah I know all my neighbors hate snakes but we live kind of far apart and we all give each other some privacy and don’t decide which pets aren’t allowed
i've heard him state before he didn't want to move to a more rural area, given what he does for a living it would be the best place for him to live tho. I live about 30 miles or so from the nearest Walmart (and they're everywhere) if that tells you how rural the area i live in is. I've also had a bear steal my trashcan before lol
one apartment years ago tried to charge me for damages and in court they were using pictures from another unit just like mine but not the one i lived in. the small claims court judge threw out the case because they realized what was going on. people are sleezy and dishonest. as long as you have move in photos you should be fine.
Imagine literally saving animals and being shamed out of the neighborhood for it 🙄
Note to future renters: Always take pictures and document the condition of the place as you're moving in, if your landlord is willing, have them sign the photos or the envelope the photos are stored in/if digital have an email of you sending the pics to them and have them confirm they received the pictures so they cannot touch your deposit/pursue you for existing damages. It's super commonplace and hard to fight unless you have documentation of the condition when you moved in.
Ffs. What a mess. You dont deserve this crap dude. I'm just seeing this at work and I just want you to get a well needed break. Hopefully you get some time to relax without RUclips and those awful landlords after you.
Best wishes.
"Im gonna go be obnoxious"
We all want to do that when we leave a shitty place. Well done. Catharsis achieved.
Also solution to refused meals: you freeze them again until it is time to take them to the trash to be picked up. No stank, no flies. That's how I handle the issue, anyway.
@@alittlerobot1469 they meant to freeze them until they could be thrown away, not to try and feed again.
I think it's important to be clear on that fact:
If your pet refuses to eat a prey item, do not re-freeze the prey item in order to try and thaw and feed it to your pet again another day.
Repeated freezing and thawing causes massive bacterial build up in the prey item. You will make your pet very sick.
If your pet refuses a feed item dispose of it appropriately.
You're not supposed to refreeze rats...
Apparently reading comprehension is not a lot of people strong point. Never did I think you ment re freezing for later feeding. Also that's just a basic duh.
@@faithjolley6034 There's no harm in refreezing them until you throw your garbage away.
Don't refreeze them to try and feed to animals. Do refreeze if you're being lazy and aren't taking it out to the trash immediately

Alex: FORD TRANSIT CONNECT
i need my baby connect
We have a Ford transit *with the highest roof* for the family vehicle lol
Your house looks like it’s the house from phasmaphobia
lmao
I like how he films videos about his life mixed in with reptile videos! So intresting! Keep up the good work GoHerping!
Alex: "Credit to good landlords, not all landlords are terrible"
*A few weeks later*
Alex's ex-landlord: proceeds to be a terrible landlord
Wow. Those neighbors totally showed a 19 year old.
Who was keeping reptiles.
Exclusively in the house.
How badass of them.
Your videos are so cozy. You have such a chill/mellow personality and way of speaking I could listen to you talk about anything and it always just puts me in such a good mood! I love the vlogs!
Alternative title: Alex figuring out how to work a Uhaul so he can get away from his jerk neighbors
How does you having reptiles affect your neighbors at all??
Shhh, the neighbors are too dumb to understand that
I have a 2019 Transit Connect and it is the best vehicle we've ever purchased. We use it for everything.
a 2015 or newer transit connect is what I have on my radar, trying to decide if I would regret not looking at fullsize transits though. glad u like it!
@@GoHerping I looked at both (as well as the Nissan and Ram versions) and the Connect is deceptively big inside.

I love your videos because I can listen to them while I do homework because you talk a lot (that's a good thing btw), where as other channels require you to visually see it.
“All my horrible experiences here.”
Makes a 2 hour long video
Growing up in rentals the first thing I learned was in final walk through before move in to have the person walking you through sign and date a post it and put the post it in the frame of photos you take for "as is conditions". We would print out all the photos and keep it in a binder for move out day to get that fresh deposit back.
I saw the title without seeing it was post by you Alex and I thought it was clickbait then I saw it was you and I knew you were serious
Edit: the one dislike is his landlord
Your experience with the landlords is like my worst fear. I only have 6monthe left at my rental house but I’m still worried they’ll find somthing to blame me for
"Looks like this episode is sponsored by bad landlords"
I lived in a rental for 4 years and I hated every minute of it. It didn't help that the land lord was a space cadet. One of the happiest days of my life was getting out of there and buying a home. Took our three box turtles with us!
My landlord stole my entire security deposit too. I'm in the middle of a lawsuit with them :S I feel your pain.
I get moving anxiety just by looking at this video. Hope you both enjoy your new home and just get to relax for a while!
Peeped the hair cut, i thought this was the old Alex for a second.
I just love that you're taking the time to move the camera everywhere filming your progress. I don't know why this is so fascinating.
Those jlab earphone started killing my ear holes a week in
Got disabled a few years back---seriously envious of your youth, work ethic, and "Just do it-iveness" that you have, doing all that moving & lifting By. Yourself.
Also, Good job documenting your rental outro--- and I'm truly sorry your life got so disrupted by a bunch of judge-*mental* eeeeediots...
HOWEVER---I hope it comes to pass they actually did you a favor!
Best of luck to you!
I wish I knew about emerald scales sooner before my green iguana died, no one would take her RIP spikes 2015- 2019. Your videos make me feel better thank you
Btw I never asked for a green iguana it was a surprise Christmas gift when I was only 8
Btw for advice, my aunt works with renting out houses and such, for a company, and they take pictures through the house before you move in and after, so if the renters do make damages to the house, they have proof. Also makes it so where homeowners can't blame you for any pervious damages. So if they say to you "Look for any problems in their house and write it down." Take pictures of all the rooms and damaged you see, go through the whole house.

GoHerping need to contact Action NC’s
I'm not eligible for anything pandemic or stimulus related, it's just unrelated renter's issues
@@GoHerping ok stay strong
@@GoHerping play the race card, call BLM theyll burn the neighborhood down for you
This is why I always do walkthroughs and have pictures before you move in so you know and they know
That's why i keep few pets. I have 1 leopard gecko 1 house gecko 2 american
toads and 1 cuban tree frog. None of which my dear old landlord knows about.
Main reason is i don't talk about them outside friends and family and places like here. The landlord is an old goat that doesn't even use the internet so i have no worries of him ever finding out.
Hey just a tip about vans. I’m an Amazon delivery dispatcher and we rent vans of all different manufacturers. The transits are fine if you never plan to take it to a rural area. I recommend the Dodge ProMasters. They have sharper turn radius’s and do way better in rural areas where the transits tires will spin in place more often. We’ve had home owners call and demand we repair their driveway because a transit had to floor it to get up to the house.
Noted, thanks! have you driven the mercedes sprinters? if I had an unlimited budget, it seems that'd be the van of choice
Don't drive with earbuds in :( dangerous!!
agree, just one earbud in is safer
This is false, plenty of HOH / deaf people drive fine so hearing has nothing to do with ability to drive
@@krissy4052 of course they can drive but hard of hearing or deaf people are experienced in using visual clues and being hyper aware of what is happening around them in a car to drive. He doesn't have this experience making it more dangerous because when wouldn't be on alert like someone who has experience driving without sound would be.
@@krissy4052 most places its illegal to drive with headphones in because you can't hear rescue vehicles
great stuff Alex!
With all of the craziness going on in the world, I cannot for the life of me see how and why landlords can continue to be so damn heartless and cutthroat
ALWAYS document the state of the place you are renting when moving in. It's saved me from bad landlords a few times.
no nuance november: landlords contribute absolutely nothing to society.
"I have fun stories about the garbage" man, I am so excited to hear these fun trash stories
I refreeze rat when they are no taken and get them out only the day I throw them out to avoid bad smell
That's clever actually
@@GoHerping you really shouldn't do that, it causes lots of bacteria build up and can get ur pet sick
@@Ociloc How is freezing the rat before you throw it away so its not sitting in the bin and smelling all week going to make an animal sick?
@@raccoontrashpanda1467 Because if you thaw the rat out, and it sits for a bit it can gather bacteria as it gets too unsafe temps.
@@mpk6664 But they aren’t feeding it. Just waiting to throw it away
One recommendation for looking for a van is that if you cannot find/don't want an electric can you should look for flex fuel e85 vans as e85 is cheaper and better for the environment, hope that's helpful for anyone interested
Title of the video: hey
Me having nothing to do: YES
We have a Fiat Doblò (first generation) it’s seen as one of the ugliest cars ever made but we love it! We called her Daisy and stuck a load of flowers on her ha!
It’s a diesel but due to its shape it’s surprisingly aerodynamic and has a very low impact on the environment, we also don’t have to fuel it for like,,, ages each time lolol. It’s a smooth and easy drive too, I’m actually learning in it! It’s high up with really good vision and has the cute sound of an old school bus. They can also be converted from a four seater into practically anything ha!
But yeah I’m not sure what diesel prices are like in the US but honestly Daisy is so cheap and eco friendly to run! Like even more eco friendly than some of our motorcycles :00
(This sounds like an ad lolol, good luck tackling that landlord!)
Make sure you stay on top of them about your proof that you didn't cause those damages. You can choose not to pay but they can still send the bill to collections and then you'll have to deal with a collection company, which is basically impossible unless you pay them. You should speak to a lawyer. 😬
I can not wait for the stories.
never have been so early to a goherping vid. Hows everything going Alex?
Judging by the title, could be better
Reading the title, I would say things have prob been better for him!
Oh look, he answered you! Oh wait....he didnt.
Oh wow same lol
I massively enjoy this kind of unhinged energy of Alex in the car and fucking with the neighbours. Also enjoy being called "boi" more than I expected
Can you do an update on your axolotls
I have a phobia of wasps so your response to a yellow jacket being “Oh, I attracted a yellow jacket” is very perplexing
Dude same i was chased by a whole nest of wasps when I was younger and I'm literally so scared of them now 😭 🤚
You might not have been able to find the power button in the beginning, but I'LL pretend I didn't push the button on my screen trying to turn it off. Just woke up please don't tease me LOL
I really admire your way dealing with sh*t. From a broken piece of glass to a crappy neighborhood you had. I assume so much more is going on beneath the surface but still.. I know that a stranger from the internet is just another drop in the ocean and this comment might sink to the bottom and disappear as well but I just wanted to wish you the best in the future. You're doing so well, love your content, keep it up!
thanks!
So early the landlord ain't charged me rent yet
If you have a sams, Costco, pak mail (or other mailing facility), local hobby shop or a local grocery, they could probably take your extra boxes and packing supplies.
"A pedo van" is the best thing I've ever herewith
I’m glad to see you back!!!! Great video man!!!!! ✌️
I’m literally addicted to u now
I love the way you enjoy making the neighbors ✨uncomfy✨
Hire a lawyer and pls give us an axolotl update
If you get a cargo van get an old sprinter van! 04-06 T1Ns are the best, I have a big one and get ~23 mpg. I’m converted to big vans now
Why do your neighbors hate you so much lol? Because youre successful?
@Elizabeth O'Ham i dont think race had anything to do with it. Maybe just because they hate reptiles so much
@@joshuareyes988 I live around there and trust me it’s at least a little bit racial bias. There’s definitely other reasons that are bigger but it’s like a subconscious thing for these people.
@@kimikoluna8938 He looks more white than not. The race thing is a stretch. He's mentioned loads of times that they mostly dislike his reptile keeping.
@@harseik7354 we can all have our theories on why they hated him so much. For me personally I just find it hard to believe that hated him so much over reptiles. Like it’s possible, but that just seem so silly to practically run some one out of their home because of the pets they chose. As a black/mixed person in North Carolina I guess I’m a little bit sensitive about things like these because I swear it happens so often. Like maybe it is a stretch maybe it isn’t. All I am talking about is my experience here and relating it to his. ☺️
Probably think the reptiles will escape and crawl into their apartments. Lol.
My dad has a Ford Transit Connect. Trust me, you do NOT want that car. He’s had it for like 4 years and it’s been recalled 2-3 times. There was almost immediately a leak in the sun roof, and now there’s a really high pitched squeaking noise whenever it goes above 70 on the highway.

Wow I've never been this early
He can't charge you for the floor or carpet. That's wear and tear. That's the price he has to pay when he rents out to anyone.
Ask your landlord for an itemized list of damages/repairs as required by law in NC. 9/10 times the deduction from your deposit will magically dissapear or at least be drastically reduced once they have to prove that the money they're withholding is actually being used for repairs.
You live such a chaotic life and you just breeze through it in a way I cannot imagine
Always take pictures the day you buy the place, as proof of the damages that were there before you arrived. That’s the tip I’ve always gotten
