Maybe not buy presents for Christmas this year? It’s been an exceptional year, I mean I’m not buying jackshyt. Christmas is cancelled in this bytch.

People really let advertising get to them, you are not obliged to buy jackshyt. If you are not in a position to pay your rent but can spent on gifts.

If he’s been a landlord for that many years then he dumb as hell to pull some shyt like this. Smh you gotta know that’s illegal

Ignore the legality of it all. If you have a tenant who has been good for a number of years, why fukk that up.

Wouldn't surprise me if the move was spearheaded by some idiot offspring.

Because they aren’t friends. The relationship is landlord and tenant, she is SUPPOSED to pay the rent, she’s living in the apartment, right? I think he was a dikk head, but he had every right to be frustrated. The reason WHY she couldn’t pay is separate from the fact that she didn’t pay, and obviously had no plans on leaving although she didn’t pay. How brazen.

I also find it wild how comfortable people are with NOT paying for stuff, but still expecting to reap the benefits or keep the item.

Landlord was fukked up, but I would never be a landlord. You in a no win situation and this pandemic proves it. Invest elsewhere
Be the BANK. Buy your investment property, upgrade, offer owner financing. Similar risks, but you’re not responsible for repairs. In the event of a foreclosure you could get the property back and flip it again.

There are risks to ALL forms of income, even regular jobs.

You're missing the point.

It is a business relationship. If you've done business with someone for a number of years and they run into financial difficulties, the immediate response is not to put your foot on their neck.

If the relationship is good, and they have been reliable to date, you look to implement a payment plan. It is not out of kindness. It is the pragmatic approach.

I swear people run in these thread with the intention of calling others soft without realising being harsh can cause more problems.

That landlord will end up paying more for legal fees than his loss of rent. But, I guess he figured that he could do what he wants since the courts are probably backed up from not seeing cases due to the pandemic.

However, as much as I feel for the tenant, she has to swallow her pride as another post suggested, move in with her mom temporarily and either find a better paying job, hit up the temp agencies or worse case scenario hit the track. She should win her civil suit against the landlord and possibly be awarded punitive damages.

I notice no one has sympathy for the people who own the places

Just like the waitress and.everyone else: if they don't make they money then they start going under

Is the plan for the landlords to pay their various expenses indefinitely without being paid themselves? Doesn't seem sustainable

It’s sustainable which is Congress is going to have to bailout landlords when it’s all said or done. Those tenants are still generating rent and late fees regardless of whether they have it or not. It’s not a question of if they will get evicted, but when unless something is done. Fighting with the police to prevent eviction notices is only delaying the inevitable.

If the tenants can’t pay the landlords, then the landlord can’t pay the back and then the banks will come calling for a bailout themselves.

What if the landlord doesn’t have the money to wait or is struggling themselves.

You can’t expect the small landlords to have it if they big people are saying they don’t the money as well. Even the NBA tried to skip out on rent for their Manhattan store saying that they didn’t have it because of COVID-19.

Exactly. The landlord can stop paying his bills now? Will the bank be cool? Insurance companies? The government? Can the landlord just not pay these people because of the pandemic? Freeze all thatshyt and you won’t see landlords do shyt like this.

I don’t condone his actions but maybe he had multiole tanants that couldn’t pay rent. That’s enough to ruin someone.

Government up here told people not to pay rent. Guess what many did. Thry stopped paying. My mom had a tenant that got mad that he wasn’t paying the same rent as the condo upstairs which was a desperate landlord who leased the place for way less than other units in the building. I had to step in for her cuz this clown was acting disrespectful. All of a sudden he started playing games with the rent. Keep in mind he was still working. I told him to put in his 2 months and go. Clown was getting great rent for years now wants cheapest rent in the building.

Not related to the story but shows how renters are empowered by the government and landlords take the brunt of it.
