As a European, every time I see a video like this I’m in disbelieve on how the most wealthy nation on this planet can disregard basic human rights over profit.
There's a lot of extremely greedy people in this country and others. I don't know how they can live with themselves honestly. I sometimes think if I were blessed enough to have extra space to rent out, I would be reasonable with the amount. I'm not a greedy person by any stretch, so pocketing a profit does not matter to me, as long as I'm not losing money on the mortgage and utilities. At the same time I'd be super picky to make sure the person will not trash my house.
Unfortunate, but true.
The US is subsidizing Europe's protection. This is coming to an end. Europe will be paying for it's own protection from Russia. -NATO-
Your social safety net is slowly slipping away. Haven't you noticed?
Yes. Homeless with and because of chronic illness here.
Greed
Too poor to be worthy of renting housing.
The thing is, paying $2000 a month in rent means that you are NOT poor. Following income guidelines for most properties, $2000/mo in rent puts you at a monthly income (before taxes) of $4000-$6000 per month, which equals about $25-$37.50 per hour that this hypothetical person in the video is being paid by their job. The fact that this person could no longer “qualify” (fancy way of saying they’re just choosing to kick you out on your butt for an arbitrary reason) is just blatant, almost laughable greed on their property management’s part. And all the apartments in the area are typically doing the same exact thing to their residents at the exact same time, so now you’re going to be treated as if you _are_ poor, even though you’re clearly not. Top tier Corporate American fckery.
For these apartments, you do not qualify
Corporate greed is going to put us all under.
wrong! buy you house cash and you won't have to worry about!
Or move back to your parents house! or never leave you parents house! They brought you into this world against your will. they have to, at minimum, feed and house you or they will go to jail!
live off grid and grow your own food. buy a gym membership to shower and live out of your car. rent with many roommates! rent a single room with in an existing family.
live with brothers' or sisters' aunts' or uncles' homes and pay less. many many options! Get the choosing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Republican voters electing Republican lawmakers who outlaw rent control and renters rights and enable this behavior
are going to put us all under.
But, but…..all that wealth should be trickling down to us normal people….
You mean inflation.
This is the cost of all that covid policy people were told would kill grandma if they didn't support.
The corporations are buying up all the houses here in california.. They are overbidding the price of the houses. So that ordinary people can not buy the House. The rent is sky rocking Every time I go outside There are more and more homeless people entire family's And the government is doing nothing about it.
Because The politicians are so rich they have five Or six mansions They just keep buying more and more more and more rich. There's no justice in this world... They do not Care how many people die on the streets every day.
the "thank you" at the end just breaks my heart. Too many corporations are buying up homes so that first home buyers can't even afford them and that jacks up rent since they have to live somewhere. State legislatures or Congress need to prevent corporations from buying homes, we can't keep going like this
They never will fix it, it will only become worse until there is a full out revolution imo. The government only exists to protect corporations and make them money as they line their pockets. Its a broken system that rewards and encourages corruption, the people in control have no desire to let it be fixed or changed.
I totally agree it’s not fair at all!! I’m 25 and I got tired of paying high rent so I decided to look for a house because atleast I’ll own it but houses are so high and I got a mortgage rate for a $3400 a month for a $300,000 house and it was not that grand considering the fact my grandparents have a way bigger house with twice the land they bought in the 90s for 75K
Politicians make too much money looking the other way, and selling the American people down the river.
@@SimplyAtair oh I know. They will the up destroying the American dream if there's no end to it
There's no such thing as the American dream. Greed is the new normal. 😢
The bs that people have to go through to live, just to make the rich get richer is ridiculous. There needs to be better standards than dealing with crooks.

Different take: what if you owned a rental property. Not a fancy multi apartment complex. A simple single family home. You probably worked hard to save enough for that for many years, knowing that by the time you retire you’ll need that extra source of income. Then you start seeing the taxes on that property go up. Would you increase rent on your tenants to cover the expenses, cover it out of your own pocket, or vote out the government that approved the increase?
You’re absolutely correct I gave up my career to care for my one and only family I’m his voice sadly and hurtful how people treat one another you’re right 🙏🏽
@@MegaAce54 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
absolutely moronic take@@MegaAce54
Yep, it's just like that. I rent out my old house at a very reasonable rate. Almost too reasonable, but the tenant can easily afford the rent, and they take excellent care of the property. I rarely have any maintenance issues, and they do all the yard work. My first tenant lived there for twelve years until she bought her own home. She said she would have never been able to afford a home if not for me. I think everyone should have a chance to be a home owner. Greed will eventually cripple this nation.
A unicorn!
i did the same thing for 24 years. I charged very reasonable rent and my first tenant stayed 10 years. Turnover is expensive, when you charge a reasonable rent they stay longer.
Vox had an article about this problem. They said there is a new proposal called, "The Stop Wall Street Landlords Act".
"The stated goal of the new House bill is to deter future institutional investments into single-family homes. It would try to do this in a few ways, including by barring corporate investors from claiming certain tax breaks like the mortgage interest deduction, and imposing a transfer tax on the sale value of new single-family home purchases."
Housing is a basic necessity, not a luxury commodity. There should be laws against it.
What also sucks is that often this is not even a good business decision. Sometimes it is better to have steady tenants than constantly fighting each month, going through evicitions, and cleaning up vacancies, to start everything over again with the expectation of how much more money you should or can make.
This needs to be ILLEGAL, and those folks go to prison
i mean if your city doesnt have a law in place regarding limits to rent increase then you should probably move to one that does. where I live they can legally only increase your rent 3.5% max a year. and they have to have a valid reason to evict you. they cant just say they've decided not to rent to you anymore especially when you've remained in good standing your entire tenancy. leases are ty[pically only signed for the first year of you living at a residence. I've never had a lease renewal.
@@kyhblizzy the problem is that cities DO have limits. so the only way for the owner to catch up to the market is to get a new renter. Likely the owner wants to keep a good long term renter, but (as we all know) expenses have gone nuts and if limited legally in how much he can raise rent to "catch up for taxes, the mortgage, water bill, electricity, insurance, and maintenance. he just may be faced with a situation where he may NEVER get even. ( because maybe his rent was ALREADY below market before stuff ramped up) now he is really really behind.
two sides of this, everyone need to be smart and think about from all angles before they pull out the moronic Its the "rich" BS.
@@redink71i agree to a point, but most of the owners doing this type of shit have zero empathy. They own multiple homes they rent to make passive income. with zero consideration for the good-willed tenants that can barely afford the rent as it is. everyone is struggling with the cost of living and if you can justify the increases that is understandable. but most of these people are buying up all the real estate to rent. and deciding to increase the cost of living for the tenant by outrageous amounts, so they continue to make record profits. your really trying to use the same argument massive corporations use to justify their egregious price gouging. while they continue to make record profits year after year. its nothing more the complete ignorance to think society should allow the wealthy to make excessive passive income manipulating low-income families and their very livelyhood. if your only goal is to make money on a rental property, you shouldn't be a landlord.

I will pray for something better! I’ve been there too! I’m paying $2039 per month because I refinanced at the right time and I am seeing what should be a generous income shrink. The social worker who came here for my son told me he’s paying $2300 per month for a two bedroom! I have a four bedroom two bath that’s not in perfect shape but I thank God everyday I have a roof over my head as more and more people are priced out of the market!

I currently have 2 core roommates taking up my 2 extra rooms then let an old roommate crash in the living room when he and his girl broke up and have 2 others living out my shed cause they are related to one of my core roommates and got evicted with nowhere else to go. My core roommates give me 500/month and the others 200/month then we split the electric bill. Too many people refuse to open their homes up to people in need even when those people could be helping you with your bills or simply be making your life easier. I had a power issue and one of the evictees has electrical experience so was able to fix my issue for cost of parts instead of having to pay out 500$ or more for what was a simple breaker issue.

Don’t worry… this will self correct. In San Antonio they are overbuilding apartments,and there are LOTS of vacancies because people who were priced out moved back with family. My daughter and I have been looking at apartments and they are offering 1 to 2 months free and prices are coming down.
The landlords will and already do limit the amount of housing being built so as to increase the worth of the building they already own
Yea but....no one wants to live in San Antonio.
@@jrr7031 so much the better for me! It’s too overcrowded as it is from all the people who moved here. Many of them are moving back so please - bad mouth San Antonio all you want! I appreciate the help.
no they are not. not in a way that matters and there is a second problem. the property is part of a security most of them can not lower rent with out breaking a contract they can offer months of free rent but it cant go down with out every one that owns a peace of a big security agreeing that its worth less than they thought and "line must go up" so they wont.
My last apartment raised our rent without telling us, so when my husband and I moved to another state, our rent was lowered significantly and it was a relief! That landlord was ridiculously greedy.
Not only is rent expensive, they make building and owning a house so expensive most first time buyers can't break into the market. "You will own nothing and be happy" also, "You will eat the bugs" WEF.
@@raincoast9010 house builders are incredibly wasteful. I go to house construction sites all the time and see lots of perfectly good material left in the rain or tossed in the garbage. If you watch renovation shows you'll see they destroy perfectly good houses just to update the style to match personal preferences. The trash they produce and waste of natural resources our peaceful society enables cost effective extraction of are only possible bc of cooperation by a society. There is a tipping point where people will not be able to afford to cooperate anymore and then the continued waste generation and procurement of resources will approach true cost bc no one will tolerate it being stolen from or dumped into their backyards for free. This will naturally drive up prices even more but also reduce profitability so then the purchase of multiple vacant obscenely large frequently remodeled houses by ultra rich will be taboo. Thus the supply chain will stop catering that dead market and redirect resources to the working class. The smoother the transition the less of a shock it will come with.

Exactly, and people don't tell you that it's next to impossible to get out of the projects. As soon as you start doing better for yourself, they kick your ass out before you can save and move, 😂so it's either quit the better paying job to keep a roof or gamble with your life.

This is what the country does to the decent, while squatters live free. Make that make sense!
You need to elevate your class consciousness. People squat because they cant afford the housing market. Your enemy is the landlord and the politicians who have sold us all out to the owner class. If you work for a living, you are a WORKER, not an OWNER. This is class warfare and we, the WORKERS are LOSING, mostly because they, the OWNERS have an army of bobbleheads telling us why we should hate each other instead of the ones doing the real exploiting of all of us.
@@MP-db9sw I think you’re missing the point. Some people “squat” in a house and cannot be removed- they’ve never paid, and they never will. Other people pay rent, and then are priced out of housing. Why do the people that never paid allowed to stay for free, but the people that did pay (always on time), have to leave, and have nowhere to go? This isn’t about anything else except that- the ridiculousness of the situation.
As far as addressing all the reasons and entities involved- that’s outside of the intent of OP’s comment.

I can barely pay rent in the Chicago area, despite my salary being pretty good. Interest rates are ridiculous and corporate greed is out of control.
interest rates are tie to the 10year note. If you were loaning money to the USA, wouldn't you want a decent return on that money for the RISK you are taking? I know I'd want a higher rate to trust the US government. In fact if I don't get it. I am not going to buy their paper. and then the FED will Which is inflationary.
If the governemnt stops spending a trillion every three months you will see inflation and interest rates state to come down. Although prices won't ( they never do) the rate the increase will get lower.
out of control government spending is debasing our currency and stealing from everyone. If we are feeling it here. Its 10X outside the country
Literally going through the exact thing right now. We're already overpaying @$4200/month (we were paying $2650/month in 2018 when we first moved in) and they're raising us to $5,000/month...

I've been struggling to recover from losing my job late last year and now have barely anything and cannot qualify for another apartment that is within the 'allowed' area for my new job.

It's not uncommon for a mortgage company to deny a mortgage to a customer who has to pay more in rent than they'd pay for a mortgage payment.
I’d cover the floor in asbestos.
I would meticulously collect my dog's poop for 60 days and not pay the 2 months rent (in my country they usually ask for a 2 months deposit to cover possible non payments and damages after the rentee has left). And the last day I would cover the entire house walls and floors with the poo (even the ceiling, if I'm very inspired).

This isn't going to be fixed until people start reacting badly and mainstream society celebrates these reactions.
I feel like the US does this on purpose then wonders why families are homeless.
families are homeless because of choices they made. In order to be homeless in the USA you have to make a long train of very poor choices over a long period of time. Most of the time its pretty predicable and avoidable.
Housing needs to be regulated better. There is no reason for anyone to be homeless given the amount of housing covering the nation. Heck, there are even Fema houses ready to be filled, should the nation care to fix the problem of tent cities. I know in my area places are $2200 and up with just 2 rooms. You need a whole home full of rooms forget it! If your credit isn't way up to current standards, then you aren't going to be able to rent at all. Also...this practice of forcing you to pay 50$ a credit check for each person that will be living in the house needs to end. All credit checks go thru the same channels and are regulated...so if they are already in the database they should be able to be checked by a rental agency that receives a once a year fee to have an unlimited ability to credit check. They can then charge possible renters a measly $1.00 to credit check you, like a bank does for funds, and return it to you, should you pass their check and become a renter.
Maybe if there were more laws like this, it would boost the economy to have people settling in an area quicker and having reasonable funds to be a consumer.
You need some socialism, as you're probably from the USA, you probably were lied about what socialism really is.
@@samdumaquis2033 We have plenty of socialism. The overregulation of housing zones, construction and permitting is the issue along with ridiculous fees and taxes.

This is real. I was one of the last tenants in my old apartment that was paying under market b/c my State only allowed a certain percentage increase each year. They practically celebrated in the office when I told them I wasn't going to renew.
Im so glad this can't happen in my city in Winnipeg. Rent can only increase like 2-3% a year. We also have rental regulations you can go to to dispute things like this or even discrimination. Like landlords can't say, :welfare not accepted
It's literally discrimination.
In defense of the landlord, I had a rental property with the rent being well under the market. We explained to the tentant that her rent would go up in 6 months with the new lease because the cost of running the property increased. We weren't getting rich on the increase, we just felt we shouldn't have to pay more out of pocket while her rent remained the same. She hadn't had a rent increase in 7 years. Then I got sick and couldn't work 2 jobs anymore so we decided to ask market price. We became the bloodsucking landlords who wanted more money for rent then she could afford. She made it out as if we were the bad evil people. We just wanted to prevent foreclosure and couldn't do it any other way. Now I get we are not a big corporate landlord but they are in business to make a profit. It sucks, I don't envy renters or even home owners who struggle. It's horrible .
This is a very real scenario right now.

This is why I insisted that we rent from a landlord and not a corporation. Of the landlords we rented from only two deceived us when we met to see the house. All the others were as nice for the years we rented from them as they were while they were showing us the property. Two lied to our faces while showing us the properties. We learned to spot the liars and what things had to be in the contract from those two so it wasn’t all bad, just very frustrating. Right now I own, but in a property with a poorly run HOA. Looking to sale and move, another learning opportunity 😂.
Hate to tell you, landlords aren't any better. I knew my landlord and he went up on my rent by $200, I was having a hard time paying my original rent. I ended up moving out, he wouldn't fix anything and was basically a slumlord. After I moved out, he called me all upset because I didn't make any improvements to his property. That was never in the contract!!
I can help you with that as a Realtor.
There is no way this is legal. Especially the renter telling the rentee that the reason they are being kicked out is because they can make more with a new lease signed. That is corporate greed at its core.
Yup. Its illegal. And very illegal in many states with caps on rent increases

Crack down on squatters, yes. But homelessness is a multi-faceted problem that can't be reduced to a "one size fits all" approach. WHY are people homeless? Many simply can't afford to be otherwise. Some are druggies, some are criminals, and many are mentally ill. Arresting them does nothing to solve the underlying problems.
@@silverhammer7779 Pretty sure this guy is being sarcastic. the real solution needs to be punishing greedy landlords and making Air BnBs illegal or at least much harder to allow.
@@Crystal_Dylan Why make Air BnBs illegal? The only reason I can see is because they're cutting into the hotel industry's revenues. Same with Uber and Lyft - the cab companies hate the competition.
Reason 4026 to not visit the states.
Yes, I am genuinely keeping count.
Yeah as someone who is desperately looking for a house right now, i completely feel this and the housing market here sucks so badly.
We raised the rent and according to our statistics, you don’t qualify for this housing anymore
You have to make between this much and this much to qualify for these apartments which you do not
Because housing is a business instead of a basic need or home.
Exactly what is happening in Montana where I’ve been my whole life but c add my afford it now.
If you own nothing else, really really try to own the roof over your head, especially by time retirement and reduced income comes round
Yeah bro let me just pull a $60,000 down payment out of my butt when I can't even afford rent.
@@user-rc2yf8kt7i😂😂😂 barely getting by and and their only solution is to buy a dahm house! 😳🙄
Owning a home doesn't guarantee you SHIT. People lose their houses every single day, sometimes through no fault of their own. Then what??
Sorry but retired old people, loose their houses to property taxes and insurance.
Own the land. That way, u can live in a tent and the only thing u have to worry about is property tax, worse case scenario. Shower at a truck stop, buy food at farmers market, etc.
That happened to Me! The exact same thing. It is sad because I was able to find another place, while others who did not.
Is this seriously legal in the US!? The idea of kicking a good renter out is so dystopian to me. Surely "we want to earn more from the next renter" can NEVER be a valid reason for eviction. That company would be laughed out of court and that renter would be set up in a replacement home for free over here. What the eff did I just watch!?
Yup going through that now either forced to buy the place or move out
This is why I left PA. Rent skyrocketed practically overnight. It was crushing me so bad until I had to move back home and restart.
Some things should NOT be part of the free market: air, water, food, healthcare, policing, and housing. What else should be regulated? What would be good regulations?
Even though Oregon is so unaffordable for buying housing, it at least has protections for tenants over a year old and landlords need valid reason to not renew
I'm expecting EXACTLY this scenario in a few months.
In my area, the landlord could not legally raise the rent $1000 a month; there are strict limits to how much rent increases can be over time. However, if you are month-to-month, you can simply be evicted and the new tenant can be charged the "market rate." That being said, it's very, very difficult (and possibly very expensive, considering legal costs) to evict a tenant for no reason other than "we want more money."
This happening at my apts right now. No protection by law...The USA has changed so much in just my lifetime.
American houses and apartments are in general large and luxurious compared to most other countries, and Americans like to live alone. Probably part of why housing costs are high.
We get asked if we want to extend our lease in Australia and the rent is direct debited each fortnight. That way i know my rent is regularly paid.
Highly relatable.
Thing is, she probably wasn't that much under "market value".
I had someone buy my rental apt. They were 22 years old!
They pulled that bs but made a mistake. They concocted a fair market value analysis on their own and gave it to me for review.
It was fraud...and my previous job was literally tax and bank fraud analysis.
What they did was say my apt was larger by 130 sq foot. Then compared by 2 bed, 1 bath apt in a multi family unit with 3 bed, 2 bath single family homes...all over the city, with full basements and garages (that don't count for sq foot but do for rental value. Most were also renovated, unlike my place i livef in for 11 yrs.
I pointed out this illegal act along with others they were engaging in and she tried to evict me. 30 day notice.
Joke was on her as retaliation eviction is illegal here. Plus my "expired lease" she inherited had an AUTO Renewal Clasue PLUS a 45 day notice for termination, not 30.
I did this pro bono so a lot more hurdles to jump through (Oh, before dropping out of it, I had been in law school). I don't recommend anyone handling their own case as judges dislike it. Plus they engage in bias and illegal verdicts; landlords lawyer engaged in illegal exparte communication with the judge so i had to win in appeal.
I countersued.
I did end up moving...to a 3 bed, 2 bath apt 3 blocks away for less than she was asking for my old place. Also since water was now included it was cheaper than i was paying.
I offered them a settlement. I get X in money and I walk away. Was easier for all. They took it.
Mostly because the new rate violated a price gouging ban for the state and the kid landlord faced $25k in fines.
Renting is BS. I only do it due to age and convince because handling my old home was a hassle now that my kids are adults.
Kinda sounds like British Columbia. The worst part about this is when you couldn't even try to apply for a mortgage that you'd end up paying less for than you do for rent because you can't save up a down payment which is because of how much you pay for rent😅
She didn’t stutter. The point of any business is to make money and if an apartment complex can get more money due to its higher market value than yes, they have the right to do what is in their best interest.
I told some of my family members back during the pandemic that they should buy a home instead of renting because the market value was going to skyrocket.
They listened and got the homes they wanted just before the market went crazy.
The places they were renting cost twice the amount and the homes they bought are worth three times the amount they bought them for.
"The point of any business is to make money and if an apartment complex can get more money due to its higher market value than yes, they have the right to do what is in their best interest."
Sure, they can do that. Everybody can just keep endlessly raising prices through the roof and chasing neverending profit while exploiting people in whatever way they can think of in order to do so. Meanwhile we can just let the homeless continue to pile up in the streets, because that's never turned out badly for a society before. You people who sit here defending this perpetual price-gouging lunacy are hilariously ignorant of the kind of instability this cycle will cause later on. Sooner or later the piper will be paid when the commoners' patience runs out. Go read a history book and find out the kinds of societal dominoes that quickly start to fall once that occurs.
US-Americans must be really peaceful people. Something like this happening in a country where everyone has multiple guns, and no civil war breaks out with cooperation heads put on spikes in the street? Unimaginable.
Yes another example of Corporate greed disguised as "Inflation"
This is a crime by the landlord and any management company doing it on their behalf. They cannot increase the property value on the contract without substantiating a value of property increase. It's what land management companies do to avoid getting caught exploiting people on government income or getting federal grants or rental assistance. Or disability income. The owner will refinance to pay less a month and the management company hikes up the average price for profit and causes economic inflation due to illegally charging unfair over valued costs of rent in the market. It's literally criminal and an illegal way to conduct land and apartment leasing.
Almost forgot they like to exploit people on any type of social security income. It's wonderful isn't it,?
Actually, this is illegal. The tenant, who has been current on her rent is entitled to a notice of a rent increase. She cannot be forced out under the excuse of "you no longer qualify." This is housing discrimination and unlawfully forced eviction. Depending upon how much she has in the bank, this would be the time to buy. But chances are that the rent she has been paying has prevented her from saving the basic 8% for a down payment. No apartments today are worth over $1000 per month. At those prices, buying makes better sense, and costs less depending upon how much you have for down payment.
The solution is to move to a country that cares. Because America does not.
These grate on me.
This can’t be legal. If it is then it should not be. It isn’t elsewhere.
Arson sounding better and better xD
Weird how they started getting dog poo bags in the pool, and suddenly all the buildings have termites!
lol the entitlement. Its their property they can choose to have you as a tenant or not regardless of any circumstances.
This literally happened to me too. And I came to find out the apartment that I lived in they put up for $200 more. I was like, I can pay $200 more and they still evicted me after I signed the new lease agreement offer. This happened in 2022 in Lakeway Texas at a place called Berkshire
This is the one time I agree with squatters rights squat, sue, drag it out, do what you gotta do.
I understand that some apartment lease will last for only a year, and if it's not a continuous lease (more than 12 months) then you have no choice but to leave. The fact she had a continuous lease, and they suddenly decided to stop is down right shady.
And you wonder why people come back with a vengeance
Whoa! I have never heard of anything like this happening! 😩😩😩
Where they do that at?
You got it!
That’s how it goes. And it’s literally not her problem. That’s what I fear will happen to me in the same situation. I would think there would be protection for such
Land of the Free. Landlords are free to charge as much as the market allows. Tenants are free to be displaced with minimal notice.
The French had a solution for this in 1789.
Welcome to the United Corporations of America
This literally just happened to me.
And this is Capitalism ladies and gentlemen. 🤬
Such a nightmare 😭
"I wish I had a solution, but its not really my problem" which translates to "Sorry, but I cannot help you" which translates to "I don't care, I choose not to help you because its not my problem, go figure it out yourself"....so over this mentality of SORRY
Taxes go up so much every year that homeowners have to increase the rent 🕊️
Sadly it’s always been a dog eat dog kind of world. Like my parents told me and I told my kids, stay in school. Don’t have any babies will after you’re married and even then, make sure you have student loans and other debts paid off as well as a written plan and budget for daycare etc etc. Stay ahead of the game. The people I know personally that are struggling, did not follow these simple rules. 🤷🏼♀️
it is NOT a silly joke for thousands all across America with borrowed money and rental on apartments and houses. Do not laugh. It is a serious and real problem.
This is sad and true!
And on the 59th day the apartment complex caught fire.
