Some individuals cannot be dealt with in a civil way. Their levels of entitlement, their expectations of special treatment from everyone, borders on being permanently delusional. They will always look for someone to blame for the situations they create themselves.
An eight Plex with 16 garages... That's certainly isn't Gwinnett county apartments... In Southern California we have a lot of wombats.. but they're making them get earthquake & Siesmic retrofitting it's Costly engineering, if it's not that then it's fire alarm updating.. I used to always find my landlords on Craigslist.. they like me cuz I'm single non-smoker with no pets.
Not all poor people are nasty, but there is a subset that are, and you can tell that they are poor because they just generally don't give a damn about anything outside their own body.
I remember when you guys took over the place. My lease was expired and I moved out because of the new tenants coming in. The tenants you have to evict I remember them being so disrespectful and felt uncomfortable with them there. But yes your right our previous landlord did not do a great background check. I’m glad you are cleaning it up! Keep up the good work
@@investfourmore I'm sorry to reach out to you this way, but I have a question about something that's going on with my mortgage company, and I don't have anybody I can ask questions to (my Mom was diagnosed with Dementia at the beginning of Covid and my father passed 20 years ago). Is there anyway I could email you? Or reach out to you somehow? I wouldn't ask if it weren't _extremely_ urgent & important. Sorry to bother you... Thank you for your time!
When I was a renter, I paid my rent late one (1) time and felt so bad that I paid an extra $125 instead of the $25 late fee required. And while in the property, I paid out of my own pocket to upgrade all light fixtures. When my stackable washer/dryer stopped working, I paid to have it replaced and my landlord told me to deduct it from my rent. I’m now a homeowner and have been one for 12 years. Landlords have mortgages to pay too, so please be mindful of that as a renter.
Aw, Liana, you are AWESOME! And I love that you acknowledged that landlords have mortgages to pay too. I currently have renters who either don't pay on time or in full, lots of excuses, and, among other things, make snarky comments about my "privilege" as far as owning a house. Actually, they were supposed to be out November 20th, begged and pleaded for more time, came up with a partial payment, and yet again I relented because I just couldn't kick them out in the cold. With unauthorized pets, yet. So now? Their January rent won't be paid for several more days. If then. Sigh. Meanwhile, the mortgage was due on the first. So again, Liana, you're awesome, and congratulations on being a homeowner. 👍
@@investfourmorehow?? There are absolutely no benefits to tenants. Paying someone else’s mortgage and having absolutely nothing to show for it has zero benefits
I found that landlords are actually more willing to work with a current tenant than to evict. There was a time I was between jobs, due to a tornado taking out place of employment. First cal I made was to my landlord. I explained my situation and he worked with me.. he offered me work, cleaning an apartment that had just emptied which paid half the rent that month and i paid the other half between 3 monthly payments. He realized I still had to pay utilities and feed my kids. He didn't want me to feel defeated, when all I needed was just a little time. When I finally moved out, we did a walk through, he wrote me a check for my deposit that day, and had called me several times through out the years, to clean out evictions.
I'm currently closing on my 4th duplex. You're exactly right no landlord wants to evict someone. It is strictly a last resort. I had a person who was with me for 2 years and the last year the ERAP paid their rent but the 1st year they literally NEVER paid on time. Thing is they always told me when they were paying and followed through so I didn't do anything. Honestly I was considering renewing for a 3rd year but then I replaced their oven and I had twice caught them using it as a space heater. That really pissed me off and I non-renewed them.
THEIR PROFESSIONAL VICTIM AND THIFS!!!! WE KNOW EXACTLY HOW SHE GOT ALL THE STUFF!! AND IF YOU THINK THEY PAID FOR ONE THING YOUR ABSOLUTELY DELUSIONAL!! NEVER LET POLICE LEAVE UNTIL THEIR GONE!!!
AS A LANDLORD YOU CANNOT EVER BELIEVE THEVLIES THEY SPEW!!! THEY ABSOLUTELY DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR CHILDREN WHY SHOULD YOU!! THEIFS ABSOLUTELY ALWAYS ARE PROLIFIC LIARS AND MASTER MANIPULATORS!!! WAKE UP!!!!
Those kids raised in this environment have zero chance. This is absolutely disgusting. You have unlimited patience. I can’t handle this without losing my shit
Yeah I will admit the first year year and a half of property management was somewhat mentally draining for me. It does drive you mad untill you learn to deal with it.
Not always true. I was raised like this. Raised to maximize my benefits from the state and such and I can say in my entire adult life (mid 30s) I’ve never been evicted, have only ever lived in 2 different places and only moved because I moved towns. Also I’ve never in my adult life have been on benefits. I will NEVER live like my parents did.
We rented an old home when we got married in the country for $150 then they sold the ranch so we had to move into the town into a 4 plex for $490 then we moved back out in the country in a 2 bedroom house for $510 and we always treated the home as our own we always planted flowers in the yard and we always got our deposit back 🎊🎉 we did buy a home and we have been here for over 20 yrs
You seem like a great landlord, most wouldn't be so lenient and willing to work with someone if they were late with rent, it's awful that some people take advantage of that and will end up ruining it for people who might have a month where they are genuinely struggling
@@fishwanda it’s a toss up as to which is worse. The kids weren’t just living in filth, they were living with junkies for parents. He said they found pipes and it looked like needles on the floor as well.
You did the right thing Mark even for the children who needed to see their are consequences for bad behavior. I am a property manager and it never ceases to amaze me how people live and treat other peoples properties. I know what you’re talking about when it comes to leaving animal feces all over the place. I had two floors of it at one of our houses. It is so sad how people live.
It's the overwhelming section 8 scammers, grown people who refuse to work and all around leeching off of the system that was originated to help those who needed a hand. They then proceed to destroy someone else's property. Being poor doesn't mean you have to be filthy pigs.
I have had the same messes to clean up after evictions and non-renewals. Only one with young kids and it breaks my heart. But I've never had such a belligerent tenant yell at me or throw stuff at my building. Those people are in the rare class of unredeemable a$$e$. They won't change and you just need to get them out. You did the right thing.
I went in to clean after one eviction, 17 industrial size bags of dirty diapers.. the only clean spot in the entire apartment was the area from they moved there bed. When cleaning out we found a box of check books, none of which belonged to the tenant evicted.. yes we had to call the officers back to take the box into custody.
I had one guy try to pick a fight, all 5'6" and 140. Then his wife pulled him back and asked if I'd hit her. I said, 'Nah, I'll just call my 5'6" 240 lb daughter who was a previous powerlifting record holder.' 😆
One of the most ironic things that ever happened to me was getting back a house and the evicted tenant had a hand written note on the entry door, "For health of our baby, please No Smoking". The place was a pig sty. It took a crew of 4 a day just to clear it out, then 4 more days to bring it back up to an acceptable condition.
It's sad for the innocent children and for the cat but for the adults in that household I hope it's a huge wake up call to change, do better and just be better people.
That is crazy because where are you supposed to put the the stuff. I sold all my properties in NJ. One municipality required a refrigerator to be in the apartment at the time of inspection before the tenants move in which is another item that needs to be stored if the tenants bring their own refrigerator, which many do because they had to buy one for the last place they left.
It's hard to deal with the eviction of a tenant. Never know what is going to happen or what is left inside the apartment. This tenant had thought they could stay in the unit without paying rent. She had plenty of time finding a place to live. Good to see most of their stuff was taken by them. With the break in with the garage maybe use the storage locker type locks to secure better for your tenants.
When I used to be evicted x3, I would have everything ready for the sheriff's in Marshalls when they come knocking on the door early at 5:00 a.m... nothing but a sleeping bag pair of clean clothes and a shower kit, and one pillow which I do leave behind, So when they say you have 5 minutes to get up and go and gather…I was ready with the empty & clean apartment left,, I like the videos thank you
Congratulations Mark on getting those people out of your property. What a nightmare. My advice, get that unit cleaned up, do the same minimal updates to it that you did with the other units get a quality tenant in there and then sell that property. It’s not worth the bother
Have been a tenant since my marriage ended over 30 years ago. I always told my kids that this was our home but somebody else’s house and so we needed to treat it even better than we’d treat our own house. I often struggled to make rent, but just not paying and expecting that the landlord, who also has financial obligations to just carry you seems pretty unreasonable really. If you’ve offered them a good faith deal and they still default there’s not much else that you can do. I’ve just moved into a place where the previous tenant got evicted and did a runner leaving everything behind for the landlord to clean up, which delayed my move for a week. She had kids too. I don’t get it.
That's awful. Those poor children and the poor cat, too. I really don't understand people who refuse to take responsibility for their actions. People who live with all that drama and chaos just make me feel badly for them. It's got to be a horrible way to live.
@@readtherealanthonyfaucibyr6444 Well here's thr facts of the situation, in the state of Colorado off of memory here only like 9.6% of the population makes a 200k dollar house hold income which is really pretty low. That means a married couple that each bring in 50 an hour are in the top 10% of earners. Anyway, 200k is pre tax money so after taxes, paying for health insurance, social security, putting money in retirement accounts probably about half of that money you never see, so realistically around 110k maybe you actually net house hold income? A decent Ferrari runs you about 100k to 300k, potentially a lot more than that for nice collector ones. So we'll go in the middle, even for someone in the top 9 percentile of income would have to save 100 percent of their realistic take home pay for 2 years straight to buy a Ferrari. But, some guy that only has a lot of money because they have enough money to invest and make into more money without actually adding any value to society can buy a Ferrari after eh, let's say 2 good house flips which takes lets say hmm, 50 combined hours of holding a clipboard and writing some checks while everyone else does the real work? I can assure you, it has nothing to do with working hard or whatever brainwashed thing your favorite politician told you. Unfortunately, some of the hardest working people on the planet and in this country are also the poorest, because if they stop working they die its really that simple. Stop working, go homeless, can't buy food can't afford medical care then you die, eventually. I like to poke fun at Mark but realistically he's a small fry in this basket. There's people in this world who wipe their ass with the value of Mark's house, or his entire car collection. Also I just wanted to point out, everyone can be rich because that's not how money works. So intrinsically if you're well off it's because someone else isn't that's just the fact of reality if you're okay with that that's fine, just understand thr stepping stones to wealth is on the backs of the poor.
@@dedalliance1 _"So intrinsically if you're well off it's because someone else isn't"_ ---- Again I'm surprised someone older than 12 has this disposition. Do you also think the odds of winning the lotto are 50/50 because you either win or don't? Are there a limited number of good life decisions available in the universe, and the responsible people are hogging all of the good life decisions? Forcing other people to make bad life decisions? _"everyone can be rich because that's not how money works"_ ---- I don't think you understand that there's zero substance in that answer. People who save their money can buy investments, that's how money works!
I've been a property manager and a tenant, so I know both sides of the equation. I really enjoy your videos because you don't take it personally. I made the mistake of getting too friendly with some of my tenants.....never a good idea. The owner NEVER would evict people. She would tell me to do all kinds of illegal things to get them to move out (which, I never did). My husband was a process server, so the most we would do is 3, 5 or 10 day notices to pay or quit. And yes, more often than not, they would trash the place when they left. I had one tenant who moved in with 1 cat, and then brought in 8 more!!! Her neighbors on both sides called to complain about the smell. When I asked why she didn't ask me before bringing in 8 more cats, she shrugged and said she didn't think it was a big deal.....you can imagine how horrible the apartment smelled. Unfortunately, you never really get that smell out completely (even when you bleach the subfloor).
You did the right thing here!!! NO PAY !!!!! NO STAY !!!!!!!! This woman knows how to work the system! Feel for the children 🧒. They use them as pawn tickets to get out of not paying and for free rent , plus anything else they can get !!!! CPS should be watching this woman and children!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I truly feel bad for the next landlord.
I use to clean apartments, houses and offices for a company....anyway, the man was evicted course....months later I went in ,started cleaning. Took me 13 hours just to pick up all the clothes in this one bedroom apartment. Went to lunch, he broke in and stole the clothes. Needless, to say I still got paid but he got arrested for breaking and entering
You are such a nice guy. We owned 2 very nice rental houses. One had 2 bad renters who had to be evicted, but the one lady files bankruptcy’s so she lived in the house for 9 months and never paid, we had a buyer for the house but would not complete the deal until she moved. We ended up paying her to move out😩she did not trash the house at all but we lost a lot of money on rent. Our other rental was great super cute house, same young couple for 3 years always paid. We sold it when they moved out. Never want to be a landlord again. Totally enjoying your show.
Can’t put evicted tenants stuff out here. Have to put it in a safe place, notify them of the location and do this for 30 days; even when they’ve known for months about the eviction date. The mess they leave and the damage is just lost money. Can’t get any repayment. File a small claims on the damages, get a judgement, goes to collections. I mean lucky if you get 50 percent back. So appreciated good tenants! They were gold to me. At renewal, gave them new micros, or new fans, or carpet and window cleaning. Love the videos!💙💚
@@investfourmore - You're only legally obligated if you are a mandated reporter like a teacher, doctor, nurse or yes, a cop. But anyone can call CPS if he or she believes children are being neglected or abused.
Landlords loved me when I rented from them……I took care of their property….yard kept up, painted interior (neutral colors) did minor maintenance and never ever missed a rent payment….
I'm glad you mentioned the impact on the neighbors. Some people think this only impacts the landlord who are all magically rich of course. But I've been that good tenant paying my rent and had crazy people like this as neighbors. It gave me terrible anxiety and severely impacted my life. (They were threatening to come back and burn the place down to spite the landlord but there were 7 other units of people living there). People like this are leaches who shouldn't have kids or pets.
That’s just terrible and shame on the mother for not keeping a roof over her children heads. I remember when i lost my job and i got denied unemployment and couldn’t pay my rent because of no money left and theres no resources for me to turn to because it was gone or no money came in yet. So i was at rock bottom stayed friends whom i no longer with cool with and my son was staying with his friend house and i gave them rent for my son. But it pisses me off that people got help and still not doing right by it it’s disgusting to me and i don’t have any pity on the mother just feel sorry for the kids. So hopefully she will learned her lesson.
These sort of people treat your kindness as a weakness ! I used to tell my dad that I liked to help people and he said “you need to help the right people” !
👍thanks for sharing your property issues for a learning experience 👍 There’s a new group of live free families that pay to move in and rides the eviction process to the limit and jumps to another property 👎👎
I’ve only had one eviction in 15 years , screening before renting is crucial , I look them up on social media , you can get a pretty good idea about what they are about. If you have to go through 50 people to get one good tenant it’s worth it. Vetting is the first step to get good tenants. Thanks for posting , people are struggling but always seem to have money for cigarettes , booze and drugs.
Used to be a landlord. Never had a tenant thank me for renting them a clean place to live. One was asleep while their 4 yr old torched the place! Now that the government has set a precedent of eviction and foreclosure moratoriums it's gotten a lot riskier.
Sad situation but I had to chuckle when you were talking about the dumpster coming so you could throw away what was left and then was concerned about some random dude taking something 😅. Not so sure if you're cut out for this lol.
Hey Mark, there's a Diablo for sale at Lamborghini Paramus, New Jersey. Build#8. $US399,895, with ~35k miles. The bolts on the wheel rims are body colour. Different audio equipment in the front trunk (yes, you said yours wasn't the original one). Car looks super mint in the pics 😎 🤗
We did the landlord thing for 4 yrs on Cape Cod. A 3 unit complex near the beach. One tenant, a 21 yo female wanted to sleep with my 81 yo Dad for free rent. She was evicted. Police, drunk fights, smoking in the units, parties. We threw in the towel & sold it
@@MattMG84 We tried short term rentals first but the Summer season was so short and it was hard to find people to rent Oct-Apr. It was like a Catch-22. The Cape is tough for people who live there yr round. There's no place to live July & August, rents skyrocket. We even went through a well known Realty but their tenants were worse!! We spent thousands remodeling the units, new septic ect. Tenants have no respect for other peoples property.. We did make money on the sale thankfully. Being close to the beach is key there
SO GLAD I got out of the landlord game 10 years ago, which I did for 10 painful years. The level of litigiousness has skyrocketed since then - like never before. Tenants will claim they or their friend, or friend's kid fell somewhere on the premises and try to make an injury claim. GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN! It is NOT WORTH THE RISK AND NOT WORTH WHATEVER MONEY YOU MAKE. NOT!
OMG - that ceiling fan tells you everything you need to know. There's two inches of dirt and dust on it. I understand some people are poor, but why be dirty?
Being a landlord is a pain in the ass. Landlords have mortgages too I currently renting my property through a company that manages it rent is 1400 in Florida for a house 3 beds and 2 baths raising rent when lease is over in a couple months. My tenants have not been bad tenants 3 years and when there is always an issue I always try to fix the issue on time.
Bad tenants (and bad landlords) should be on a list people can access before a rental contract is signed. A house near my old house had a huge pile of stuff in the driveway after an eviction. The landlord told me I could help myself after the 15 days allowed for the ex-tenant to pick his stuff up. Other people helped themselves before then, and one person dumped more trash on the pile. It took two large dumpsters to clean the junk out, but I did get a lot of tools. Weird that the guy didn't get his stuff, but he was a little messed up in the head.
Just can’t believe people live like that and get angry at you!! Who thinks they can live somewhere without paying rent AND trashing the place??!! Insane.
Also I believe that's why two out of those three landlords did not add injury to insult by placing me on the do not rent to credit list, let this be a lesson to people. You leave a dirty messed up apartments.. going to make it that much harder to try to find a replacement. As the landlord can equally as well get dirty concerning your credit report or Rental history.. thank you for the videos
You know it's funny you mention that I rented a place for 5 years and when I moved in I think the rugs were 5 or 6 years old when I left so I cleaned them up pretty good. I think the landlord painted and maybe recoated the tub. Within 8 or 9 days it was rented. I think little things like paint is considered normal wear and tear.
I think it's excellent to show the other side of this story...too often the tenants come off as saints. The fact is, it IS a business...and no landlord throws out a good tenant. There are bad landlords. You don't appear to be one of them. Good luck..
People get mad when they are caught doing the wrong things. And the wrong things is a very large scale. I caught someone once doing the wrong thing and it of course was all my fault. Well, NO. I had to preserve myself and exposing that wrong thing made them mad! Oh well, my conscience was clear!
After their acting like that towards you during the eviction, it's good you went through with the eviction. That's not the type of tenant you want living under you. They can be mad at you all they want, don't threaten to break parts of the unit, don't tell off the landlord to cops. And then drugs around children and cats?! It's good they're gone. Were they charged for having the drugs? Do they still have custody of the children and the cat?
We gave the cat to the tenants. I asked the cops about the pipes. No drugs. He said since the lady was gone to just trash it. She left for lost the eviction.
I would never take section 8. The government would have to pay for insurance in case they destroyed my unit. The fact that she didn't pay her small portion for months just irks me.
When my dad was still alive and we had to do evictions the court bailiff with cops stayed at the location until we were legally allowed to enter the property to remove everything. Once that time came the bailiff left and the cops stayed to make sure things would stay civil. Now for the real kicker. You think this one is bad we had one of the 3 bedroom houses we evicted people from fill up 8 medium sized garbage trucks and that was just what was in the house. They had thrown cornmeal all over the entire house and ruined the carpets beyond cleaning that doesn't include all of the nasty food left all over the place outside of the kitchen which had every cupboard filled with rotting and spoiled food. the fridge was just a disaster and one has to wonder how they could even live like that. The stove was so bad we had to toss it out. 5 interior doors needed replaced and 8 of the windows needed replaced due to them breaking them. In total it was well over $25,000 in damages which also included all of the copper pipes int he basement being stolen by them.
You said you were thinking of selling that building. I would. It's a dump. The unit you showed us as an example of "nice" was not even close to ready to rent, and the mold in the corner is a serious concern. Offload the place, and your cleaners too.
In the UK to be rid of former tenants the Police NEVER get involved and are not interested at all, its an entirely civil matter. The landlord has to pay a fee to the County Court bailiff to effect possession and THEN the police will attend to ensure no breach of the peace. What a total pain in the arse.
Rent evasion should be considered larceny/grand larceny Tenants who are a problem like this should also be ordered to pay for all the money/work for clean out, repairs, court costs filing, etc
Been there. The level of filth - utensils, candy wrappers, receipts UNDERNEATH BASEBOARD HEATING in EVERY room. Rented furniture she had stopped paying on disgustingly stained. Broke 3 of 4 appliances & left a virtually empty oil tank even though I reduced rent all winter by $400/mo so she would put that money into the tank. She never did. She still owes me $2k.
It's so weird, almost every t.v. reality show, or UA-cam clip dealing with hoarders I've watched, they almost always have the same item in their hoards....... 🤮*Those gross fly traps!* Seriously though if I ever reached the point where I told myself to put fly traps on the weekly shopping list I'd like to think it might be a big ass, in your face signal to *CLEAN THE F'ING PLACE!* 🤣🤮
Other things a tenant did: Left a fallen over, leaking bottle of Drano in the kitchen cabinets where food goes. Left me with an empty fire extinguisher (???) Left raw meat in the kitchen sink for 3 days, so now the place had flies. Broke 3 of 4 appliances and broke a solid wooden door frame.
I learned my lesson second property, credit score was good, they had jobs, van in good shape clean. background check was good. the result midnight move, left a Victorian era home in disarray. cost me a couple of thousand to clean up. so I no longer rent to anyone unless they have a credit score 700 and over. a salaried job that is stable. a lease contract so tight a fart would not escape. plus zero tolerance, late one day I start the process. our lawyer handles it. weekly drive by, from our property manager. every six months interior. no pets period. not a perfect system but damm close. last never rent to your family ever, we provide modern homes, in good areas so with every holding I load the area with our phone number, contact names, and encourage them to call if any issues arise, works very well.
How is it that folks feel entitled to not pay rent for months and months but still won’t leave the property until they are forced I feel sorry for the landlords of today they have zero right to protect their property
Here is another eviction at the property we had a few weeks later! ua-cam.com/video/8DtEWAYRZfw/v-deo.html

First cal I made was to my landlord.

Raised to maximize my benefits from the state and such and I can say in my entire adult life (mid 30s) I’ve never been evicted, have only ever lived in 2 different places and only moved because I moved towns. Also I’ve never in my adult life have been on benefits. I will NEVER live like my parents did.
We rented an old home when we got married in the country for $150 then they sold the ranch so we had to move into the town into a 4 plex for $490 then we moved back out in the country in a 2 bedroom house for $510 and we always treated the home as our own we always planted flowers in the yard and we always got our deposit back 🎊🎉 we did buy a home and we have been here for over 20 yrs
Dang that's cheap. 2 bed house goes from 1200 up to 1600 where I'm from even some 4 beds go up to dang near 4k a month.
You seem like a great landlord, most wouldn't be so lenient and willing to work with someone if they were late with rent, it's awful that some people take advantage of that and will end up ruining it for people who might have a month where they are genuinely struggling
Its really disgusting and irresponsible to live like that with children and pets. I think you should have reported her to CPS and the SPCA
Call Daddy, there's people living there.

@@fishwanda maybe it would be better for them to live in another home.
I’m not a fan at all of dcf I’m only prob is there needles on the ground? And smoking in a house with kids is deadbeat sh1t
@@fishwanda it’s a toss up as to which is worse. The kids weren’t just living in filth, they were living with junkies for parents. He said they found pipes and it looked like needles on the floor as well.
You did the right thing Mark even for the children who needed to see their are consequences for bad behavior. I am a property manager and it never ceases to amaze me how people live and treat other peoples properties. I know what you’re talking about when it comes to leaving animal feces all over the place. I had two floors of it at one of our houses. It is so sad how people live.
WE KNOW EXACTLY HOW THEY GOT THE JUNK!!!
We can thank these individuals for making all our rents high!
yes
The government devaluing the American dollar is what has made the rents high.
It's the overwhelming section 8 scammers, grown people who refuse to work and all around leeching off of the system that was originated to help those who needed a hand. They then proceed to destroy someone else's property. Being poor doesn't mean you have to be filthy pigs.
I have had the same messes to clean up after evictions and non-renewals. Only one with young kids and it breaks my heart. But I've never had such a belligerent tenant yell at me or throw stuff at my building. Those people are in the rare class of unredeemable a$$e$. They won't change and you just need to get them out. You did the right thing.
agreed and I havn't had that happen either even with all the eivcitons I did selling foreclosures for banks.
I went in to clean after one eviction, 17 industrial size bags of dirty diapers.. the only clean spot in the entire apartment was the area from they moved there bed. When cleaning out we found a box of check books, none of which belonged to the tenant evicted.. yes we had to call the officers back to take the box into custody.
I had one guy try to pick a fight, all 5'6" and 140. Then his wife pulled him back and asked if I'd hit her. I said, 'Nah, I'll just call my 5'6" 240 lb daughter who was a previous powerlifting record holder.' 😆
It never ceases to amaze me that people believe that they are entitled to live for free
yup
One of the most ironic things that ever happened to me was getting back a house and the evicted tenant had a hand written note on the entry door, "For health of our baby, please No Smoking". The place was a pig sty. It took a crew of 4 a day just to clear it out, then 4 more days to bring it back up to an acceptable condition.
The fact that they mixed with people who would potentially smoke indoors, is a huge red flag. That's some seriously lowbrow company to be keeping!
You'r actually very lenient with your tenants. I can't imagine how costly this is for you.
And they'll do the same thing to the next place.
Yup
It's sad for the innocent children and for the cat but for the adults in that household I hope it's a huge wake up call to change, do better and just be better people.
They are self-entitled narcissists. According to them their problems are always caused by someone else. They will never change.
So glad you get to reclaim immediatly. In NY, even with an eviction, we have to hold their possessions for some time. It's crazy.
NY is nuts!
That is crazy because where are you supposed to put the the stuff. I sold all my properties in NJ. One municipality required a refrigerator to be in the apartment at the time of inspection before the tenants move in which is another item that needs to be stored if the tenants bring their own refrigerator, which many do because they had to buy one for the last place they left.
Similar situation on chattels in the UK.
@@charlesphilhower1452 Jeez and I thought things were bad in the UK !
It's hard to deal with the eviction of a tenant. Never know what is going to happen or what is left inside the apartment. This tenant had thought they could stay in the unit without paying rent. She had plenty of time finding a place to live. Good to see most of their stuff was taken by them. With the break in with the garage maybe use the storage locker type locks to secure better for your tenants.
Thank you
Made me chuckle when you said; I might sale it but I don't know why, I'm having to much fun. Good one Mark...
:)
When I used to be evicted x3, I would have everything ready for the sheriff's in Marshalls when they come knocking on the door early at 5:00 a.m... nothing but a sleeping bag pair of clean clothes and a shower kit, and one pillow which I do leave behind, So when they say you have 5 minutes to get up and go and gather…I was ready with the empty & clean apartment left,, I like the videos thank you
Congratulations Mark on getting those people out of your property. What a nightmare.
My advice, get that unit cleaned up, do the same minimal updates to it that you did with the other units get a quality tenant in there and then sell that property. It’s not worth the bother
That's the plan!
Mark I'm sorry you had that experience.
You have always been fair.
Thank you for your content.
thank you
Have been a tenant since my marriage ended over 30 years ago. I always told my kids that this was our home but somebody else’s house and so we needed to treat it even better than we’d treat our own house. I often struggled to make rent, but just not paying and expecting that the landlord, who also has financial obligations to just carry you seems pretty unreasonable really. If you’ve offered them a good faith deal and they still default there’s not much else that you can do. I’ve just moved into a place where the previous tenant got evicted and did a runner leaving everything behind for the landlord to clean up, which delayed my move for a week. She had kids too. I don’t get it.
That's awful. Those poor children and the poor cat, too. I really don't understand people who refuse to take responsibility for their actions. People who live with all that drama and chaos just make me feel badly for them. It's got to be a horrible way to live.
Agreed
Yeah and then they're made homeless so someone else can buy another Ferrari one day.
@@dedalliance1 Poor life decisions vs responsible life decisions. It's amazing that someone can have your disposition and be older than 12.
@@readtherealanthonyfaucibyr6444 Well here's thr facts of the situation, in the state of Colorado off of memory here only like 9.6% of the population makes a 200k dollar house hold income which is really pretty low. That means a married couple that each bring in 50 an hour are in the top 10% of earners. Anyway, 200k is pre tax money so after taxes, paying for health insurance, social security, putting money in retirement accounts probably about half of that money you never see, so realistically around 110k maybe you actually net house hold income? A decent Ferrari runs you about 100k to 300k, potentially a lot more than that for nice collector ones. So we'll go in the middle, even for someone in the top 9 percentile of income would have to save 100 percent of their realistic take home pay for 2 years straight to buy a Ferrari.
But, some guy that only has a lot of money because they have enough money to invest and make into more money without actually adding any value to society can buy a Ferrari after eh, let's say 2 good house flips which takes lets say hmm, 50 combined hours of holding a clipboard and writing some checks while everyone else does the real work?
I can assure you, it has nothing to do with working hard or whatever brainwashed thing your favorite politician told you. Unfortunately, some of the hardest working people on the planet and in this country are also the poorest, because if they stop working they die its really that simple. Stop working, go homeless, can't buy food can't afford medical care then you die, eventually. I like to poke fun at Mark but realistically he's a small fry in this basket. There's people in this world who wipe their ass with the value of Mark's house, or his entire car collection.
Also I just wanted to point out, everyone can be rich because that's not how money works. So intrinsically if you're well off it's because someone else isn't that's just the fact of reality if you're okay with that that's fine, just understand thr stepping stones to wealth is on the backs of the poor.
@@dedalliance1 _"So intrinsically if you're well off it's because someone else isn't"_ ---- Again I'm surprised someone older than 12 has this disposition. Do you also think the odds of winning the lotto are 50/50 because you either win or don't? Are there a limited number of good life decisions available in the universe, and the responsible people are hogging all of the good life decisions? Forcing other people to make bad life decisions?
_"everyone can be rich because that's not how money works"_ ---- I don't think you understand that there's zero substance in that answer. People who save their money can buy investments, that's how money works!
I've been a property manager and a tenant, so I know both sides of the equation. I really enjoy your videos because you don't take it personally. I made the mistake of getting too friendly with some of my tenants.....never a good idea. The owner NEVER would evict people. She would tell me to do all kinds of illegal things to get them to move out (which, I never did). My husband was a process server, so the most we would do is 3, 5 or 10 day notices to pay or quit. And yes, more often than not, they would trash the place when they left. I had one tenant who moved in with 1 cat, and then brought in 8 more!!! Her neighbors on both sides called to complain about the smell. When I asked why she didn't ask me before bringing in 8 more cats, she shrugged and said she didn't think it was a big deal.....you can imagine how horrible the apartment smelled. Unfortunately, you never really get that smell out completely (even when you bleach the subfloor).
You did the right thing here!!! NO PAY !!!!! NO STAY !!!!!!!! This woman knows how to work the system! Feel for the children 🧒. They use them as pawn tickets to get out of not paying and for free rent , plus anything else they can get !!!! CPS should be watching this woman and children!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I truly feel bad for the next landlord.
I just love that those tenants were in the wrong, yet they blamed you????? Don't pay then you need to get out!! Great video, thanks!!
Right!!
It's always someone else's fault. Never their own.
It is astonishing how people can live in such horrific conditions especially with children and pets.
yup
Its normal for democrats.
you definitely need surveillances cameras at that location
I use to clean apartments, houses and offices for a company....anyway, the man was evicted course....months later I went in ,started cleaning. Took me 13 hours just to pick up all the clothes in this one bedroom apartment. Went to lunch, he broke in and stole the clothes. Needless, to say I still got paid but he got arrested for breaking and entering
crazy
You are such a nice guy. We owned 2 very nice rental houses. One had 2 bad renters who had to be evicted, but the one lady files bankruptcy’s so she lived in the house for 9 months and never paid, we had a buyer for the house but would not complete the deal until she moved. We ended up paying her to move out😩she did not trash the house at all but we lost a lot of money on rent. Our other rental was great super cute house, same young couple for 3 years always paid. We sold it when they moved out. Never want to be a landlord again. Totally enjoying your show.
Can’t put evicted tenants stuff out here. Have to put it in a safe place, notify them of the location and do this for 30 days; even when they’ve known for months about the eviction date. The mess they leave and the damage is just lost money. Can’t get any repayment. File a small claims on the damages, get a judgement, goes to collections. I mean lucky if you get 50 percent back. So appreciated good tenants! They were gold to me. At renewal, gave them new micros, or new fans, or carpet and window cleaning.
Love the videos!💙💚
I wonder if child protective services was ever involved with that family
Not sure.
Mark your team really needs to call CPS. Please these kids definitely need help I work for CPS (not in Colorado)
@@jordanhogue7565 wouldn't the police make that call?
@@investfourmore You'd think so.
@@investfourmore - You're only legally obligated if you are a mandated reporter like a teacher, doctor, nurse or yes, a cop.
But anyone can call CPS if he or she believes children are being neglected or abused.
Landlords loved me when I rented from them……I took care of their property….yard kept up, painted interior (neutral colors) did minor maintenance and never ever missed a rent payment….
nice
I'm glad you mentioned the impact on the neighbors. Some people think this only impacts the landlord who are all magically rich of course. But I've been that good tenant paying my rent and had crazy people like this as neighbors. It gave me terrible anxiety and severely impacted my life. (They were threatening to come back and burn the place down to spite the landlord but there were 7 other units of people living there). People like this are leaches who shouldn't have kids or pets.
Wow....this situation will scare people away from buying apartments.
Is it okay to film all the personal belongings as long as you don't get any identification or family pictures in the video our licenses
Yeah personal opinion here I would name the tenant in the video LOL
After the way the acted I agree
Too many entitled people wanting a free ride. Glad you got this taken care of.
That’s just terrible and shame on the mother for not keeping a roof over her children heads. I remember when i lost my job and i got denied unemployment and couldn’t pay my rent because of no money left and theres no resources for me to turn to because it was gone or no money came in yet. So i was at rock bottom stayed friends whom i no longer with cool with and my son was staying with his friend house and i gave them rent for my son. But it pisses me off that people got help and still not doing right by it it’s disgusting to me and i don’t have any pity on the mother just feel sorry for the kids. So hopefully she will learned her lesson.
These sort of people treat your kindness as a weakness ! I used to tell my dad that I liked to help people and he said “you need to help the right people” !
The worst thing is, mama teaches her kids to be the exact same way she is. Multiplies exponentually with each generation.
👍thanks for sharing your property issues for a learning experience 👍
There’s a new group of live free families that pay to move in and rides the eviction process to the limit and jumps to another property 👎👎
I’ve only had one eviction in 15 years , screening before renting is crucial , I look them up on social media , you can get a pretty good idea about what they are about. If you have to go through 50 people to get one good tenant it’s worth it. Vetting is the first step to get good tenants. Thanks for posting , people are struggling but always seem to have money for cigarettes , booze and drugs.
These were inherited tenants
Used to be a landlord. Never had a tenant thank me for renting them a clean place to live. One was asleep while their 4 yr old torched the place! Now that the government has set a precedent of eviction and foreclosure moratoriums it's gotten a lot riskier.
Sad situation but I had to chuckle when you were talking about the dumpster coming so you could throw away what was left and then was concerned about some random dude taking something 😅. Not so sure if you're cut out for this lol.
Been doing it 20 years
@@investfourmore haha,glad to see you still have a kind heart.
Hey Mark, there's a Diablo for sale at Lamborghini Paramus, New Jersey. Build#8. $US399,895, with ~35k miles. The bolts on the wheel rims are body colour. Different audio equipment in the front trunk (yes, you said yours wasn't the original one). Car looks super mint in the pics 😎 🤗
I saw that!
We did the landlord thing for 4 yrs on Cape Cod. A 3 unit complex near the beach. One tenant, a 21 yo female wanted to sleep with my 81 yo Dad for free rent. She was evicted. Police, drunk fights, smoking in the units, parties. We threw in the towel & sold it
Wasn't profitable to keep it short term only?
@@MattMG84 We tried short term rentals first but the Summer season was so short and it was hard to find people to rent Oct-Apr. It was like a Catch-22. The Cape is tough for people who live there yr round. There's no place to live July & August, rents skyrocket. We even went through a well known Realty but their tenants were worse!! We spent thousands remodeling the units, new septic ect. Tenants have no respect for other peoples property.. We did make money on the sale thankfully. Being close to the beach is key there
You still got her number???
@@nordyneken you iidiot 😂🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@nordyneken 🤣
SO GLAD I got out of the landlord game 10 years ago, which I did for 10 painful years. The level of litigiousness has skyrocketed since then - like never before. Tenants will claim they or their friend, or friend's kid fell somewhere on the premises and try to make an injury claim. GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN! It is NOT WORTH THE RISK AND NOT WORTH WHATEVER MONEY YOU MAKE. NOT!
Don’t feel bad about it. I just evicted someone too. I’m glad I got them out. What a depressing neighborhood though.
OMG - that ceiling fan tells you everything you need to know. There's two inches of dirt and dust on it. I understand some people are poor, but why be dirty?
it was awful
Very kind of you to ensure her things weren't gone through and stolen.
Pray I run into a landlord like you because some of these landlords don't work with tenants at all great job
I've been doing apartment maintenance for 15 years...what some people do to rentals is horrific....
do you believe it is lack of self respect?
I never understood why people think they're entitled to live in other people's homes rent free.
Is CPS involved for living conditions of the children
Both bedrooms have their own bathroom. That is nice, especially in a roommate situation.
Never a dull moment at El Ocho Loco...
😅😅
Hopefully it’s a new start for them as a family and they can move forward in a better direction
Based on the condition of the apartment, I’m sure they’re ready to turn a new leaf!
And the crime is only going to get worse there.
Being a landlord is a pain in the ass. Landlords have mortgages too I currently renting my property through a company that manages it rent is 1400 in Florida for a house 3 beds and 2 baths raising rent when lease is over in a couple months. My tenants have not been bad tenants 3 years and when there is always an issue I always try to fix the issue on time.
Bad tenants (and bad landlords) should be on a list people can access before a rental contract is signed.
A house near my old house had a huge pile of stuff in the driveway after an eviction.
The landlord told me I could help myself after the 15 days allowed for the ex-tenant to pick his stuff up.
Other people helped themselves before then, and one person dumped more trash on the pile.
It took two large dumpsters to clean the junk out, but I did get a lot of tools. Weird that the guy didn't get his stuff, but he was a little messed up in the head.
You are very kind and tolerate!!!
Just can’t believe people live like that and get angry at you!! Who thinks they can live somewhere without paying rent AND trashing the place??!! Insane.
agreed
I'm curious, will you have the former tenants charged with vandalism, for throwing pumpkins at the building??
No, not worth it
Poor children
That is awful, but we had one so much worse....I can't imagine living that way. It is heartbreaking to know a baby lived in such filth.
Also I believe that's why two out of those three landlords did not add injury to insult by placing me on the do not rent to credit list, let this be a lesson to people. You leave a dirty messed up apartments.. going to make it that much harder to try to find a replacement. As the landlord can equally as well get dirty concerning your credit report or Rental history.. thank you for the videos
My wife and I finally sold our rental property not longer after Covid hit and I'm glad we did. I was tired of dealing with it.
When we rented we left the home better than when we got it. I’m talking new flooring fixing the air conditioner, lots of things. And we were clean.
You know it's funny you mention that I rented a place for 5 years and when I moved in I think the rugs were 5 or 6 years old when I left so I cleaned them up pretty good.
I think the landlord painted and maybe recoated the tub.
Within 8 or 9 days it was rented.
I think little things like paint is considered normal wear and tear.
Yep evictions must be really tough. Glad you have helpers.
"The Ocho"
"That's a bold move, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for 'em." Every time you say that, I think of that movie.
Personally I wish you had recorded and posted everything. It's your property, you have every right.
Sadly, they'll just go do the same thing again at the next place. I guess they think you owe them a free place to live. Ungrateful.
yes
You seem like a decent landlord to me.
Thank you
I think it's excellent to show the other side of this story...too often the tenants come off as saints. The fact is, it IS a business...and no landlord throws out a good tenant.
There are bad landlords. You don't appear to be one of them. Good luck..
People get mad when they are caught doing the wrong things. And the wrong things is a very large scale. I caught someone once doing the wrong thing and it of course was all my fault. Well, NO. I had to preserve myself and exposing that wrong thing made them mad! Oh well, my conscience was clear!
So sorry you had to go through that
All Americans have the right to be civil.
After their acting like that towards you during the eviction, it's good you went through with the eviction. That's not the type of tenant you want living under you. They can be mad at you all they want, don't threaten to break parts of the unit, don't tell off the landlord to cops. And then drugs around children and cats?! It's good they're gone. Were they charged for having the drugs? Do they still have custody of the children and the cat?
We gave the cat to the tenants. I asked the cops about the pipes. No drugs. He said since the lady was gone to just trash it. She left for lost the eviction.
Poor cat and kids. Oh man. :(
Yes
I would never take section 8. The government would have to pay for insurance in case they destroyed my unit. The fact that she didn't pay her small portion for months just irks me.
😔 wow what a mess. And it sounds like there is more drama to come.
Hope not with them but the other unit yes
When my dad was still alive and we had to do evictions the court bailiff with cops stayed at the location until we were legally allowed to enter the property to remove everything. Once that time came the bailiff left and the cops stayed to make sure things would stay civil.
Now for the real kicker. You think this one is bad we had one of the 3 bedroom houses we evicted people from fill up 8 medium sized garbage trucks and that was just what was in the house. They had thrown cornmeal all over the entire house and ruined the carpets beyond cleaning that doesn't include all of the nasty food left all over the place outside of the kitchen which had every cupboard filled with rotting and spoiled food. the fridge was just a disaster and one has to wonder how they could even live like that. The stove was so bad we had to toss it out. 5 interior doors needed replaced and 8 of the windows needed replaced due to them breaking them. In total it was well over $25,000 in damages which also included all of the copper pipes int he basement being stolen by them.
crazy
Reminds me, they weren’t the apt. that used to pull the car right up to the stairs, were they?
Same one
@@investfourmore Yikes, should have known. Sorry
I don’t understand how people with kids can live in so much filth 🤢🤮
You said you were thinking of selling that building. I would. It's a dump. The unit you showed us as an example of "nice" was not even close to ready to rent, and the mold in the corner is a serious concern. Offload the place, and your cleaners too.
he said it was after trash was moved i think and not the final cleaning for a new tenant.
The struggle is real.
In the UK to be rid of former tenants the Police NEVER get involved and are not interested at all, its an entirely civil matter. The landlord has to pay a fee to the County Court bailiff to effect possession and THEN the police will attend to ensure no breach of the peace. What a total pain in the arse.
Rent evasion should be considered larceny/grand larceny
Tenants who are a problem like this should also be ordered to pay for all the money/work for clean out, repairs, court costs filing, etc
I wouldn’t be a landlord for anything! Situations like this are common and the law is on the renter’s side!
I am sure the kids will follow in the mom's footsteps.
U zoomed in on everything else but not the dog on the tire!!!!! Lol
This is why I would never ever be a landlord…..
Been there. The level of filth - utensils, candy wrappers, receipts UNDERNEATH BASEBOARD HEATING in EVERY room. Rented furniture she had stopped paying on disgustingly stained. Broke 3 of 4 appliances & left a virtually empty oil tank even though I reduced rent all winter by $400/mo so she would put that money into the tank. She never did. She still owes me $2k.
It's so weird, almost every t.v. reality show, or UA-cam clip dealing with hoarders I've watched, they almost always have the same item in their hoards.......
🤮*Those gross fly traps!*
Seriously though if I ever reached the point where I told myself to put fly traps on the weekly shopping list I'd like to think it might be a big ass, in your face signal to *CLEAN THE F'ING PLACE!* 🤣🤮
Other things a tenant did: Left a fallen over, leaking bottle of Drano in the kitchen cabinets where food goes. Left me with an empty fire extinguisher (???) Left raw meat in the kitchen sink for 3 days, so now the place had flies. Broke 3 of 4 appliances and broke a solid wooden door frame.
I learned my lesson second property, credit score was good, they had jobs, van in good shape clean. background check was good. the result midnight move, left a Victorian era home in disarray. cost me a couple of thousand to clean up. so I no longer rent to anyone unless they have a credit score 700 and over. a salaried job that is stable. a lease contract so tight a fart would not escape. plus zero tolerance, late one day I start the process. our lawyer handles it. weekly drive by, from our property manager. every six months interior. no pets period. not a perfect system but damm close. last never rent to your family ever, we provide modern homes, in good areas so with every holding I load the area with our phone number, contact names, and encourage them to call if any issues arise, works very well.
How is it that folks feel entitled to not pay rent for months and months but still won’t leave the property until they are forced I feel sorry for the landlords of today they have zero right to protect their property
