I am from New York City, My Dad has a tenant and she stop paying rent since the covid started in March 2020. The whole time she is working. She works in the airport. My Dad is still in the eviction process in court! There are a lot of people using the system!
NYC civil courts are not working for landlords. This has to change, I can afford a non paying tenant for a few months but not for years. I am in the similar situation and courts are no help. Waiting for Gods help.
they were encouraged to screw the middle class
@@montanagal6958 landlords aren't the middle class if you own property in new York your part of the upper class or the ones who screw the middle class
@@jacobnapkins1155 That's actually not statistically true. Most are upper middle class. Upper class doesn't typically deal with renters; more the buying and selling.
@@JustMe-kg3xc upper middle class isn't middle class middle is middle for a reason you literally explained why I'm right.
You can either own or rent a place, but either way you're paying. A landlord collects the rents, so they can in turn pay the mortgage, taxes and insurance on the property. Amazing the number of people that don't realize the cost associated in owning a property.
@Bignick Tha'Godfather What a stupid comment. All landlords own the property they are renting. They can hire a management company.
@Bignick Tha'Godfather No I’m not wrong. A bank owned property means the landlord couldn’t pay his mortgage. So it’s the banks now. Taxes, the city owns it. They typically do not continue renting it though. If you want a place, get something small, fix it up and sell it. Keep doing that a few times.
And repaint, fix drywall, replace roof, fix/repair replace plumbing/toilets, replace refrigerator every 15 years, replace furnace, water heater, AC every 10-30 years. It adds up. I'd say all the cap ex/repairs is about 400 a month on average (300-500). Add in the cost of problem tenants - evictions/vandalism/theft of appliances and many landlords are not making much money. The profit margin on real estate is usually about 5-10% - very slim. The best landlords are not the mom and pops usually but the larger multi unit ones or the ones that are already tradesmen/construction guys.
so the bank is da landlord! wuh
here i gotta fill out a bed bug inspection form gas pipe inspection window guards get lead tested self closing doors kits. yearly. now they are mulling about sprinkers in apartments also houchul is running some kind or carbon load of the building test law and even if your old heat system goes you gotta convert to all electric OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and why is the rent so high? oh the greedy landlord lol
I’m glad she also covered the landlord’s obligations. Landlords have mortgages in which the pay property taxes (if not already included in the mortgage) and other things to include HOA or condo association dues. I’ve seen many landlords get taken advantage by tenants.
Ya say hey lady , cool story bro can I help pack your bags
First thing I noticed was during the pandemic everything was stopped except taxes. Tht was due right on time.
I love how the media did a story on this womans situation. Profited off of it, they can find anything but cant help to find resources for her. We just need your story ma'am. Disgusting.
I'm pretty sure the people telling their stories are paid to be on the show.
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING.
Right?! That's the asshole infested world we live in
The reporter said that she couldn't get in touch with her (the woman who was being evicted) because her phone was off, but she had her address and had been to her apartment before. It doesn't sound like she tried too hard to get in touch with her. It is like you said....just use her for the story and then conveniently discard her.
typical f#*ked up lying media glorifying themselves dont give a s#*t about anyone only their boring nobody looks at channels all of em wankas
I am a landlord, I have bills too, I am sorry for folks problems, but if you can't pay the rent I still have to pay my bills on that property. I am far more likely to let you out of a lease at no cost if you can't afford to pay. There are a number of options to help, but honestly, it isn't the landlords responsibility to shoulder the burden, because the bank will foreclose if I don't pay. Besides, every landlord it living in fear of another eviction moratorium and so we are all trying to get the best possible tenants, and a tenant with problems paying now will probably just get worse over time. I as a human feel sorry for them, but no one is going to bail me out as a small landlord with only a few properties trying to house the working folks in my town. Almost two months of my average rent goes into insurance for a single property, plus taxes, management fees, maintenance, vacancy costs, rehab after a move out. If a tenant works with me I will help, but at a certain point my BS meter goes off when I see they are actually just stiffing me and not trying. Then the system takes too long, costs the landlord too much and totally benefits the tenant in my state.
I agree with u💯
Richard you are so right !!
That's the problem landlords, stop buying investment properties. Everyone deserves a place to stay and investment in housing have escalated the prices
@cons only cull the naive wheras seek therapy
well thank you for filling us ppl in about landlords i thought all of you guys were heartless
I have able-bodied renters who still owe more than 12 months of rent ( after the 14 months assistance from the city of Chula Vista) and still not paying their water bill for 8 months now (billed in the landlord's name ) . They are gaming the system and ruining the finances of the landlord. A very grievous situation is happening too on the other side of the equation.
My temamts didn't pay the trash bills and it got put on my tax bill as a lien... One had a full 6 months paid by S.D. county. He's been there 12 years & I don't know why he's working but not paying rent...
Exactly
*commented on the wrong comment.
Exactly
I really don't feel bad for landlords now because so many are so evil to tenants
I’m in Australia and it’s happening here as well. Scary times.
I think Australia has recently had more than their fair share of natural disasters that has contributed to a housing shortage.
@@crand20033 and the fact that renters are being priced out of their rentals.
even down under smh
It's ALL OVER the world with no where else to go except the moon or outer space
@@crand20033 Australia also is very small has very little livable land
living in a hotel with my disabled brother and my mother who is getting surgery tomorrow. Landlord didnt give a reason for not keeping us but raised the price on their website from 1400 to 1900. I dont know what to do but you are not alone lady. I am down but have no choice to be strong for my family.
I'm so sorry for what you're going through
I'm sorry you're going through such hardship. But not meaning to be crass - where, by any chance - is your father?
@@marietta1335 So my parents were together for 20 years and I grew up in a good house. Mom owned her own business doing daycare and my dad worked for the railroad. Everything was great until about 13 when my parents divorced. Nasty divorce and it just continued to get worse from there. My dad ended up in prison for something that shocked me and made my heart fall out of my ass when I found out what he had done. Haven't talked to him since and feels like a death. Lost my grandparents right before that. parents lost everything they worked hard for. I have been in the struggle since. Always ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time. Learned many hard lessons but it has made me realize what's really important. That I still have my loved ones I'm willing to fight for and if I make it through this I feel very confident that I can handle most of what this life will throw at me.
U know people are very SOULLESS today. Land lord's could careless about your situation.
As a person who just might be asking a hotel for a monthly rent…did you get a better deal on the price since it’s a long term stay? I’m considering how to approach this idea to a local motel. Hope you’re moms ok! 🫶
If you are a good paying tentant who falls on hard times, speak w/ your LL beforehand. Attempt to make arrangements. Dont just not pay and expect a roof to remain over your head.
I think during the eviction moratorium people have so many option to pay their rent without penalties. But where the money went? People on unemployment has extra $200 and make more than people had job.
Because a lot of people that have jobs don't make enough either
A lot of those people chose not to pay their rent and let their landlord suffer. I had two of those tenants myself.
The money went to bills
Yes, the moratorium taught so many to be renting for free tenants. Families with low income tend to be the family with the most children adding to their personal crisis. I work in a busy hospital ER. We see SO MANY single moms with multiple children, no father involved, in crisis for rent, food etc. Maybe more family planning until a stable home environment before having children. My husband and I waited for years to finish our degrees, get a good job, savings, buy a home before we started our family. So many have kids THEN wonder what to do.
@@eckankar7756 Costing taxpayers millions in welfare. People have sex and make a mistake of getting pregnant. Birth control doesn't always work. Some use the 'rhythm method' or 'pull out before orgasm' method and those fail a lot. Prophylcatites fail. Teens are most vulnerable to making mistakes. We must keep abortion free, safe and legal.
I had a landlord just go crazy with greed once his rental property was at capacity with stable people who all got along. No maintenance was covered as it was from the beginning, and the outside went downhill fast. Then once our leases expired, he added 30% on each of our rents, which was way above cost of living. Four out of the five left, and ads were up for a month or more to fill the vacated room/s. I've now spent ~10 months living in my small hatchback car, with no worries at all. Saved $10K of unobligated money.
Stay away from folks that are citizens, you are a non contributing member of society a sociopath
They all deserve to go bankrupt for bleeding the working class. Housing shouldn't be an investment.
Your conditions don't pay the bills. Everyone has to pay their bills or group up so they can. Landlords have accounts too. Rents must rise due to the risk and cost of possible deadbeat tenants.
Talking to your landlord will get you nowhere if the landlord is experiencing the same financial difficulties you're having. Remember, your landlord is also a person, a citizen subject to the same ("unfair") laws you're subject to. The proper person to ask for help in your situation is the father of your child. He should help because of his child.
This is what happens if you have excessive property tax hikes just to make up for pension liabilities.
baby daddy busy playing ps4, and she kinda fat for somone that be missing meals.
Maybe she not with the father cause he on drugs abusive dead you don’t have a right to judge other personal situation if you don’t have all the information

Druing Covid the people who rent my upstairs apartment I gave them a break they lost their jobs and I let them live rent free until they got back on their feet. They did and I still have great tenants
Can't live for free
Unless you just came over from the Ukraine.

@@VegitoBlackk that's because many guys are foolish enough to send her money for doing nothing in return.
Landlords have been screwed by these tenants. He needs to rent to someone that can pay.
2:50 She set her own rules- if I can pay it this week I will. Or I’ll do next week. So her rental management probably nodded just to pacify her and they did what they normally do. The flip side with rental management alone in an office face to face with a resident. They are concerned about their safety if they tell someone they are kicking her out in 3 days. So they don’t.
And then she says "I didn't have to do that". Well yes she did, because you have an obligation to pay the rent. She makes it seem like she was doing the rental management company a favor. And if her "own rules' happen over and over again, then she cant make it seem like they just gave her one warning and she was out.
She needs to be out pay your rent
same thing i was thinking?
So Where’s the babies father ??? , she just got pregnant randomly I guess . They make it sound like she got pregnant from a public toilet seat .
Landlord can't tell the bank that they will pay when they can
Wow! This is a first actually having a landlord telling it how it is instead of just a sad story about a tenant. Taxes and insurance are rising faster then rents and there’s a delay in when rents are able to be raised.
Totally agree. NY is a tenant backed state. They couldn't care any less about us small private landlords. I have a mortgage, taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance, and other operating costs. Yes we have reserve funds, but they get depleted when tenants don't pay.
@@Eager2BFit and you are just blaming tenants as just not paying. You ever think corporate greed buying up cheap properties forcing you to raise your rents.
@@hellooutthere8956 Who's blaming tenants. I said NY doesn't care about private landlords! The courts would offer tenants 3-12 months extensions of non-payment ( whether they are hardworking good tenants or crappy ones ). They will offer tenants various programs as they should. Meanwhile, I have to hope my mortgage company would provided me with the same. There aren't enough programs ( generally) that help landlords. The exception this time is due to the pandemic! Otherwise...nada!
my rent went up 28% and they haven’t fixed anything at all. i will be serving them their 30 day notice to either repair everything or reduce my rent dramatically. i’m going through the court. tired of being exploited as a tenant
Ya ok. My homeowners insurance has gone up more than 25%, property taxes over a grand too. Where do you think the money is going for your landlord? And mind you, it’s none of your business where but costs of owning have one up that much. You’re just trying to get out of the rent raise. Has it ever occurred to you that your landlords costs have sky rocketed and isntmaking more money? Just trying to stay afloat? Of course not, all landlords are evil right? Go away. Pay your bills live an adult or buy your own house.
See how well that works out for you lol I’d immediately send you a notice of no renewal and have you thrown out in 30 days
@@e2sguy i know my rights. like i said, i am working with the county court. they can’t “throw me out.” you’re scum

Cronyism, nepotism and tribalism are just a part of it.
A lot of these people who are saying their victims because they're being evicted what did you do with all the money from unemployment plus the extra covid money you got yet a lot of these people were not paying their rent and the rent was still affordable instead they were using it on themselves going on trips and not looking for employment because it was more convenient for them to get that extra covid pain now your credit screwed up and you're wondering where am I going to rent when they see your credit scores
Exactly 💯
Wait! @ 3:07 she said *"I didn't have to do that"* meaning keeping her apartment complex updated about her late payments! WTF?
And unfortunately, THIS is the attitude of many renters who have trouble paying their rent. I get life happens and times are indeed tough. That said, people are well aware in advance they're not going to be able to pay their rent, so why not advise your landlord well before the first of the month?? It's not only irresponsible and disrespectful when renters don't give advance notice they're having a difficult time, but they only decide to "make promises" to pay well AFTER rent is due or when the landlord says something/gives them notice. The entitlement of deadbeat renters is appalling!
@@ThePecanTan All the while, this video would have you think this girl was the victim. I can’t stand low income people and their welfare entitlement attitudes! With the ridiculous statement she made about what “she didn’t have to do”, I hope she was evicted. #Geesh
@@TreGre1987 rough statement but ur right🤷🏽♀️
I hope she is getting child support. For women out there stop dealing with deadbeats, get married first and build a life with a man you trust before having a child together.
Or maybe they should wait until they can afford to have a child. A coworker of mine said that he and his wife waited eleven years before they had children. Why? Because they didn't want to have children and have no money. That would be stupid.
Agree😮
More and more people will be living in tents on the sidewalk because of greed. Rents are becoming so high these days, that they are out of the possibility of being paid. The San Francisco Bay Area is prime example
How do you have your display name not be some email address like I've seen lately?
I'm 55 will be homeless in 2 months. People buying up all the property, rent was 600, now they add a ceiling fan, and charging 1,500 all of a sudden and call it high end living. There's hundreds of us here with nowhere to go because everyone discriminates us because we have housing vouchers. I lost all my stuff in a fire once, took me 25 years to get it mostly back, now I gotta toss it in the garbage again. Meanwhile they keep bussing in foreigners everyday give them free place to live, etc.. makes sense huh. I'm scared it's gonna be freezing my last day here, I got nowhere to go and no help.
So many people can’t move to that area due to living expenses
If this keeps up, only rich people will have homes to go to and poor people will be living on the streets.
Why don't you talk with the men. Baby dad's to help these mothers. Always talking to the mothers.
Because women control sex.
They like thug men who are involved in crime.
Because women MUST control the narrative. Nobody talks to the men who are homeless destitute and lost everything because of no fault divorce or baby trapper women leeching child support or government benefits.
@@deasvail99 they should all be put in work camps.
@@deasvail99 amen
The real question is why is she making babies when she can’t afford to financially support them. People should own a home, have a plan for a college savings plan in place, savings in the bank, etc. before even THINKING of having a child. Secondly, sorry property owners don’t care about your personal situations. You signed a contract to pay rent on time. You don’t get to live in someone else’s property without paying for it. That’s called stealing. “It’s not fair” she says - sorry hunny you don’t get to steal housing. Grow up, put on your big girl pants and pay your bills on time like every other responsible human on the planet 🙄
Wow smfh
I had my landlord give me a Pay it or Quit, when my rent check was deposited by them days earlier. Turns out when it was deposited they'd not put down a receipt and they'd put a mark on my record. It was easy to deal with, but then they made the same mistake the month after. Never had this happened and even while unemployed for months I never took help to pay rent and always paid on-time and in full. After the eviction protections lifted, they were quick to try and tell me that I didn't pay when I had proof that I did.
who knew letting people not pay rent for 2 years and letting tenants spend their rent assistance stimulus check on shoes will result in evictions as landlords seek to recoup lost rent and in the process drag down others with them. Many landlords had to pay out of their pocket while the tenants occupied the property for free
@A 1 yee 🤡
You right
She found money for a huge Tattoo . Landlords cannot afford to support these people. She must seek government subsidized apartments.
its not that easy to get on it, do u live in Florida??? and have u ever been in this situation?? dont judge because she has a tattoo,
Maybe a friend did the tattoo for free your comment is so stupid
You are the reason this country is AFU
Look like those young people just want the American working class to retire at age 70 or 80.
The problem started in 2008 and it hasn't finished yet Welcome to California
Everywhere! Makes me sad 😔 my landlord just told me last week that he wasn't renewing the lease a week before my lease up I pray for people like him as well as people like me ! It has to be better than this
I wouldn't lose any sleep about it but it sucks. It could mean that they are going to lose the property
Now go interview mom and pop landlords. What are they supposed to do when tenant dont pay rent? These people made sacrifices to buy rentals they are not tenants' caregivers
I know is difficult, but there are also people who buy drinks and cigarettes and stuff that don't really need, stimulus money spend in stuff. If the landlord doesn't pay they will be kicked out also and the landlord will loose the property.
Property tax is around 2k a year. They’re not that stressed unless they dont own the house and got a tenant in it to pay off the loan by using their rent money
This is why i work all day and night and sleep in my car
Im 27, I don’t have unprotected sex. I live with my parents in Chicago saving money for my own house.. I don’t have a job currently and im lucky to have a roof above my head but where is the self accountability? Landlords have their own families to feed. . Dont rent if you can’t afford it. There’s alot of government support
I'm not defending anyone, I am well aware of the challenges faced by landlords, but for anyone to say there's a lot of government help shows they know nothing about government help. I've been on both sides, as a landlord, and as a homeless person seeking help and being homeless is a hell of a lot harder and has far fewer avenues for help. Government assistance, assistance from any organization in fact, geared toward people in need basically requires one to be in need for an extended amount of time and then remain in need. Climbing out of a hole is very hard when the people you need to help are handing you a shovel. Both sides of this issue have very unrealistic ideas of each other. Walk in someone else's shoes for a year and you'll come to realize no one is who you think they are or that they have it as easy as you thought. No one.
Not defending this woman and her life decisions. However, no offense but you are a 27 year old adult with no job, living with your parents who support you. You are last one that should talk about self-accountability and give a lecture to people “Don’t rent if you can’t afford it” when your parents protect you from facing the consequences of your own life decisions.
@@biggreen9845 i got fired from a good paying job. I saved enough money and i have a new car paid off and money on the side for a house in Chicago… im lucky to have my parents who worked hard for us .. my parents didn’t speak English and we lived in the southside of Chicago bought their own house .

Thank you for making this
Thank you for showing the landlords perspective
Stop passing levies and increasing taxes!!
You live in a country where nothing is free and nobody feels sorry for dont have kids you cant afford ..winter is coming
Yeah I thought only black women does this I guess the non-black women you prefer does this as well
@@Blackraregem preferences do this more than black women
Everybody knows that you don't bring babies into this world if you cannot afford to care for them, or at least that's what I thought.
There should be a law that the landlord cannot increase rental prices more than 25% per year because it is no way cost of living raises (which most people do not receive) can keep up with the drastic market increases.
The max in California is 5% + CPI (up to 10% maximum). I feel like this is fair for landlords and tenants.
In other words, let the city tell a business owner how much money they can make because you don’t like it. If you so t like it it, move or buy your own house, then let some families move in and not pay you a dime because they don’t like it. See how that goes
The situation is sad, but where is the sympathy for the landlord that has not received the rent due? The tenant's sickness and poor health are not the fault of the landlord. Landlords shoulder the burden of rent that has not been paid for much longer than 3 days of the notice. The landlord suffers very expensive fees for evictions. Landords would much prefer to have the rent and keep the tenant.
Why do you have spooky music in the background???
Of course, all these tenants vote "yes" on every sales tax and property tax increase referendums.
EXACTLY!!!!
Blessings young lady 🙏🙏🙏
Do tenants really think that LL dont have a mortgage, insurance and taxes to pay?
Landlord > Rentsants
They are not seeing the entire picture.
I'm a landlord and most of the tenants take advantage. They always show the few who actually need help.
yeah they do... thinking about just dealing with section 8 and getting paid by the state...
I think more people are taking avantage than those who need help.
So because of your way of thinking, you wouldn't even sit down and talk about helping a tenant by working something out? That is how you are sound - too skeptical to even listen.
@@gusmonster59 No this is a business.... period
If a tenant can get one over on you , they certainly will . I had some of these vermin screw ke during the moratorium and I evicted the very day I legally could after 10 months of nonpayment I threw that leech out and tossed all
His belongings out too
There’s no humanity in our rental system. It seems most Landlords don’t give a crap about people.
And landlords are probably saying the same thing about the tenants.
Landlords hav families to support also
Thank you for really and I mean really asking and landlords perspective when tenants are late or fail to pay their rent.
Shelter should not be a business. Basic shelter is a necessity and every single person requires it to survive. Minimum levels of nutritious food and health care are also requirements for survival. Making money out of food, health care and shelter should be prohibited and should be provided by everyone for everyone on a basic level.
No please shut up about laziness. People who don't have the basics necessary for life cannot work. They are harassed, dirty and depressed. Homelessness and hunger does that to people. If you want more than the basics, more space, air conditioning, dish washer, your own purchased private home then you are going to have to work. If you want steak, not beans you have to work. If you need health care, you need it and that's enough. People will work to make their lives more comfortable. When folks absolutely cannot work they should be able to survive anyhow. That's my take on our lousy, greedy system that isn't working. That's what taxes are for, not constant wars and huge military budgets.
Why did this lady decide to have a child if she could barely take care of herself

The homeless problem is becoming a much bigger problem because the cost of rental properties, gas, food, basic living needs are ridiculously too high. It's going to be a bigger problem. I have skipped meals many times when I was raising my children as a single parent. I understand all too well with what she's doing through. I'm praying for you.
It puts women and children in a very dangerous situation all the way around without a safe place to live.
The "homeless problem" is largely a DRUG problem, not a housing problem.
@@JustMe-kg3xc Not all people who are homeless are drug addicts and alcoholics. Some people who are homeless is our United States of America veterans. Some people who are homeless work full time jobs or part time jobs and cannot afford any place to live and basic living needs etc. Some people who are homeless are suffering from mental illness and many other medical conditions. There's a lot of people who are homeless and are disabled. If someone's income is only $900.00 or $1,500.00 a month it's going to be very difficult for them to find a place and money for basic living needs, bills etc. People who are disabled are at a higher risk of being homeless and being abused etc. because they don't have enough money coming in every month to cover rent, bills and basic living needs and expenses for a whole entire month. Everything has gone up to ridiculous prices and many people are struggling and at risk of being homeless.
@@kimberlydavis5034 True. Not all people have substance abuse problems. It is, however, the main driver of homelessness.
@@JustMe-kg3xc It's so sad and horrible seeing people with drug addiction and alcoholism problems. Drugs and alcohol destroys families, friendships and relationships. There's a lot of people who have lost their lives because of drug overdoses. There's not enough services and resources for people who realize and admit to themselves that they have a drug and alcohol problem. There needs to be more education and training on how to protect yourself and find help for people who have drug and alcohol problems. There needs to be more rehabilitation services for drug addicts and alcoholics. I know from my own personal experiences that you cannot help someone who doesn't want help. They have to admit to themselves and want the help. Otherwise it's just a waste of time.
Blame the government for all the evictions. Banning eviction hurts both landlords and tenants. Instead giving out stimulus checks, government should just pay rent. There will be less eviction now.
If the government starts paying everyone's rent that asks for it, you will have a multitude of freeloaders with their hands out. That's how Welfare got so enormous.
This story touched my heart.
She does not look like she is having to skip meals......there is more to the story that what's being presented
Only the rich are skinny because they can afford high quality, healthy food. Poorer people either stave completely or else they mostly eat sugary, salty, starchy filler foods and cheap take outs that pile on the weight. Stress also causes high cortisol which makes it harder to lose weight.
If you did your research you would know that.
@@PotterSpurn1 or because they eat too much and don't move. Elon Musk is one of the richest person in the world, hes fat
Plenty of healthy food is extremely inexpensive or at least affordable. I bet I could take the same or less money she spends and feed the same number of people the same number of meals healthier food with higher nutrition content.
She doesn't look like she's having to skip meals.
Lol

Skipping meals is called intermittent fasting....if everyone in the US fasted the 6 months.... the world would change forever.
These landlords do not care about you. Listen what happened to he her she talked to them 3 days later she got a notice.
No worth the headaches or cost for repairs and constant removal of personal belongings. To many have ruined section 8 for years!!!!! Now people are demanding section 8 housing. Landlords are just tired of dealing with trash in their homes. I honestly can't blame !!!!! It's nothing but a waste of money and paper work for Landlords.
*I was living in Texas in a one bedroom. My job had shorted my hours on my paycheck. I went to the leasing office and notified them I would be a few days late on the rent. The leasing manager said ok. Next thing I knew within two days she had filed an eviction. I was shocked. I went to the office and asked her why when she said it was OK for me to pay late. She said it was just policy. In Texas the courts do not charge landlords for filing evictions or pulling them out of court. So there are no repercussions for filing and yanking evictions. I fought the eviction and during the fight I moved out. The courts in Texas are full of republican conservative anti minority judges and they are very pro landlord. The white conservative judge ignored me in court and put all his attention on the landlord who had a lawyer. The case was thrown out when they found out I had moved and the landlord had the keys. This was a dirty thing to do because evictions stay on your record even if they are pulled out of court or you win. Rental companies now check for filed evictions. Not just those upheld by the courts. This is what makes what they did to me particularly evil. They did not care about the longterm ramifications an eviction would have on my rental ability. All they had to do was tell me no and have the money right away and I would have borrowed **it.My** parents would have wired the money. However the leasing office assured me all was fine and thanked me for speaking to them. They knew all along they would file for an eviction. Again all they had to do was tell me. They did not. I was blindsided.*
They are very money hungry. The white judges always take their side and act like they hate struggling people. Then people wonder why people are homeless. It is hard to rent other places after an eviction even if you have the money. The leasing people smile in your face and plotting behind your back!! I hope things work 🙏 out for you!!!
And that why I don’t live in Texas and never will
sorry you have to go through this but your landlord did nothing wrong because it takes time to schedule court date and in case you do not end up paying your rent late, they have to face monetary losses during all these extra time you stayed. that's why always save 3 months of an emergency fund to avoid putting yourself into situations like this!
Had you been late before?
@@constancekang9914 *Texas rushes evictions. And the landlord was wrong for telling me it was ok to pay late and had me thinking it was OK. My parents would have wired the money overnight. But when the landlord told me I had a few extra days I believed them. Never once did they say they would file an eviction. There have been news reports about how easy Texas makes it for landlords to put evictions in court and yank them. They do this by the thousands. It's wrong that they don't even mention to the tenant they will file anyway. It's misleading. It's harsh.*
We feel sorry for both parties. The remnants of the pandemic is still visible. Especially today wherein we here news of job layoffs almost every day. There are those who were laid off during pandemic that haven't got the chance to start over again and still struggling to make a living. Tenants' feelings are absolutely valid, and I think that landlords are doing their best to work it out with them.
However, landlords can just do much without compromising the business. People are moving in and out, and if landlords get to meet potential tenants, they should enforce a thorough background check just to make sure that they're not dealing with hard-to-deal-with people. Multiple evictions? Something is not quite right. An action that is made repeatedly is a behavior.
This is not really a landlord tenant issue the way some people are trying to make it seem. If you have a job and can’t afford to live any decent place that is a COUNTRY problem. This country is literally failing so many of us both renters and owners… I wonder when we will all stand up together and demand change…? 🤔
Better paying jobs, child care, someone has to pay mortgages,so renters should understand that, bottom line it’s not yours
I am in the same situation now. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Here in Pinellas County they are building, but only "luxury" apts
I see a lot of people that abused the system and decided they just didn't want to pay rent that's what I see. Covid did not go on that long and many places were not even close that long, my husband and I were barely off work for one month, so really I don't even want to hear it these people just decided they didn't want to pay rent and now they're in this situation I do not feel sorry for them. And how in the world does this young woman have so many health problems it doesn't add up she's probably on drugs.
I live in Tampa and I know people who are facing $600 a month rent increases. I know people who have moved back home with their kids. Requirement of making three times the rent puts a modest 1800 one bedroom with a required income of nearly $5,500 a month.
It’s going to get much, much worse. Thank a Democrat.
Yes taxes are rising ridiculous and insurance so rents have to keep up, politicians keep complaining about rents but want taxes to be higher so they can put in new trees along the road

Life is not like you see on those silly Hollywood sitcoms.
Does anyone see how screwed up it is that people who CAN’T AFFORD A HOUSE, get their rents jacked up EVERY DAMN YEAR, yet people who CAN buy a house, get the luxury of a stable monthly payment for years?
Did you get education, waited to have babies, saved$$$, so you might in future afford a house!?!??…
It's all about the money. The government has full control over this situation. But they choose to focus on the money instead of the people. Landlords and tenants are going through hell. But it's the government who takes pleasure and profit in their hell. 🤷♂️
Cost of capitalism!
The correct language is fewer units, not less units. Please consider the different usage/meaning of fewer and less.
You need to start a report like this with statistics, comparing the past with the present so we have some clear idea what's changed then go into why its changed. Are evictions up & if so by how much?
Nice reporting here. Very responsible and respectful of both sides of issues
I don't feel bad for the first girl, pregnant, where's the father, probably not working or planing for emergencies, too bad, us seniors
are going through stuff too and I know I planned, saved but all the funds are used up with the cost of things these days and
we are suffering after working hard all our lives! She needs to keep the legs closed, seek a job or some education in life!
They couldn't afford birth control?
I have a duplex and live in the first floor. Got tenants with delinquent eviction records (Didn’t know about it until eviction court made it public in system) I was in shock and my real estate agent too… These tenants spent 2 years without paying rent to previous landlord, court and NJ backed tenants instead, landlord got destroyed. I am the potential next victim of these predators, 3 months so far not paying, court day is October 5th; hopefully judge see historical records and realize these are Cons taking advantage of small landlords. If I am successful, I am going to go after them in the small court claim, collections and after all they got. They got a trucking business too, I am going to make sure they don’t do this to someone else again
I wish I could afford to move out of my ex-boyfriend's place but there's nothing in my price range here in CA. I work fulltime as an assistant manager of a retail store. I only make about $2000 a month after taxes and $800 goes to rent. I'm trying really hard to save for a car as all I have right now is a moped. I don't know how long the moped will last but I need to get another year worth out of it before I can upgrade to a car. I want to become a caregiver as we have a big retirement community where I live but most of the caregiver positions out there require you to have a car in order for the elderly to run errands and go to Dr. appointments.
Find a female roommate.
@@susanhicks-clontz7596 I'm a single adult male. So probably not gonna happen...
@@SamSung-jv3jm find a male roommate.
You should be able to find a similar place (private room, shared bath) for a similar price that you’re paying now off of Craigslist (depending on the area of CA).
Figure out you proble, that’s being a responsible adult, no person is going to solve your issues
I think this video does a good job of showing both sides of the story. But not all tenants are in such an extreme situation as she is in. Some people are just squatting until they can't anymore. My tenant hasn't paid for over a year, and we were just been able to file an eviction, after a 90-day notice. She ignored the notice and stopped all communications... And we have been paying for mortgage this whole time, during which we both lost our jobs in different periods. It really just seem like the eviction memorandum and any government assistance programs during the pandemic were created with only the renters in mind, what about the landlords?
Why didn’t you and your tea ant file for rental assistance. The rental assistance was there to help both tenants and landlords
@@thedollarmamma We did and our application got rejected twice. By the second rejection email, more than a year has passed. We have ERAP in New York but it's understaffed and underfunded. I helped my tenant appeal the first time because I truely empathize with her. But I really don't have the extra money to keep paying mortgage, maintenance fee, and subletting fee the building was charging anymore. Our application should have been accepted, the ERAP folks were nitpicking over the wording of "undertenant" and "subtenant" because my apartment is a co-op. Had ERAP been more efficient, both my tenant and I would be perfectly happy right now. The problem, I think is really that the program is poorly managed and underfunded.
Bad tenants like to deal with easy landlords like parasites
@Bignick Tha'Godfather Don't shoot at random. You should name names. Or what you've written here are lies.
If ya can't pay then you don't stay!! Plain and simple.
PAY YOUR RENT! As a landlord taxes and insurance are ridiculous. Refrigerators used to cost 900.00 now cost 1500.00. The landlords have bills and responsibilities too! You don't pay then the landlord can't pay. He is not a bank or charity. Let's not talk about damages after you deadbeats move out either.
This situation is sad , where was her family to help pitch in to help her ? I don’t want to pass judgment but she could of worked a work from home job something to keep a float while family also pinched in.
Could of?
I wonder that too
God bless her and others like her 🙏❤️💔😢🙏
Life is very tough. People need a lot of help. It is very easy to get behind. It is so hard to catch up.
I had a landlord threaten to evict me a day after the rent was paid....
I wonder where the word affordable housing came from because I been denied an opportunity for an apartment from the new building that's being constructed....... Especially those on disability benefits........ Life is a real struggle and it's a shame.......
Defining a small property owner by the amount of properties is a bit misleading. Number of unit owned would be more accurate. Ex 1 building 100 unit vs a duplex
Go get a job at Amazon apply for an intermittent leave that way you can go to the doctor whenever you need to. Then you can show the landlord you have a job that will stop the eviction then you'll have a place to live a job a roof over your head problem solved.
I did see a fresh tattoo on her arm when she was crying you could see the redness from it that was recently put on her arm how did she get the money for that though
Fight to keep property taxes from raising and home owners insurance landlords have no choice to raise rent or to sell their and get ride of them
Dumb question I know, but in other parts of the USA there are so many vacant houses, like Detroit for example. Could these people temporarily move into those houses until the situation improves? I know it will involve a move, but at least they would have a roof over their heads.
Drive 2000 miles to where work is on the coasts? Plenty of empty homes in the dead center of the hollowed out nation.
What the Detroit City Government won't tell you that if you move into these vacant houses, they will charge you all the past property tax that was not paid on that property. And there are no good paying jobs in Detroit unless in service sector or in government. Their situation won't improve for a very long time.
Bad tenants don’t want downgrade, roommates, Good ones thinking about them.
Lord help your people!
Pay your rent people no excuses rent comes first. I think most of these people are just irresponsible and immature let this be a lesson pay your rent or be kicked out my God
did you have covid and the landlords are raising the rents so high that 2 people have have to work 2 full time jobs just to pay rent so your saying work just for the house and can't pay for nothing else ......your not realistic
@@deborahhoff2051 Many landlords have had Covid, too. Many, too, lost their day jobs due to the lockdown. And many were taken advantage of by parasite tenants who did not want to pay rent during the pandemic. Landlords are people, too. They are the same people subject to the same economic conditions as tenants. They need the rent to pay for their own livelihhod, mortgage, property taxes (that have gone sky high), insurance, utilities, and maintenance. Greedy tenants always forget that landlords, too, are people. They have to eat, wear clothes, go to the doctor when sick, care for their families, etc. Tenants who don't pay their rent are thieves.
@@marietta1335 I inderstand totally so why can't there be a happy middle to benefit both ?Do you realize that I'm being evicted and was paying my mortgage my hone os a part of a mortgage scam and I've been fighting it for a couple of years I am trying to do the right thing and there will be alot of homeless people in the streets and some of them are parasites and some are good hard working people so what's the answer ????

I rented for four years worked two jobs made sure the rent and bills were paid first. Sometimes there was not much left so learned to make do. Oh well no trip no new phone, deal with it.
I live in Orange county California and the rent is outrageous and when you're a single mom with two kids it's too expensive to pay 2300 a month only for rent especially with the prices of gas food everything that's went up in like five or six months it's pretty much impossible to pay $2300 just for rent and I can't move any more than an hour away because that's in the court papers so this obviously is being a problem so unfortunately I got the 3-day notice and what I did was I'm just selling my mobile home that's not something I want to do but what choice do I have I don't have the money for any of this anymore and if I can't move more than an hour away then the rent is not cheaper anywhere you have to move far away or out of state
Gibberish.
Single mom with two kids! Where are there father/s
@@sevinbamuels6560 their father is in their life and he lives about 20 minutes away and that's why I'm not allowed to move more than an hour because the court papers they say I can't move more than an hour away which causes a problem so that's why I'm in this situation living in Orange County paying $2,300 a month just on rent by itself it's impossible to do when you have two other kids to pay for I don't get much child support so between my job and the child support it's not enough if I was able to move to another state or further than an hour then I wouldn't be in this situation but unfortunately I can't move so I'm stuck I have to stay around Orange County
@@ginaartiglio8978 I understand! But can the father pay. My baby momma and daughter her other child and my grandson was homeless, I had to pay $6500 dollars to get them into a place just about everything I had. I had to move out my place and now sleeping in my van and had to get a second Job.
Why is he not helping? Can he take the children for awhile until you get back on your feet.
@@sevinbamuels6560 I'm at work but long story short he only takes them 2 days a week and so yes I should be getting paid a lot more than I'm getting paid but he's just a jerk but I don't want to deal with all the court and the drama you know what I mean he threatens me and tells me that he will take them full-time and this and that if I try to get more money I'm getting $600 for two kids when this guy makes over 5,000 a month
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Why are you surprised that inflation is bad for everyone? Food, heating, electric are all sky rocketing up along with rents. Also, letting in millions of immigrants in the county has not been helping her chances of getting a job any easier. It is going to take decades to fix the mess we are in.
