Landlord removes front door over late rent after woman loses job during pandemic

[UberEatsDriver]

Sad story. Woman needs to swallow her pride and move in with her mom until she gets back on her feet.

At least then the property owner could rent the place out, and the tenant wouldn't get deeper in debt.

When I use to financially coach people I found it weird that this option was hard for some people to choose.


Goes to show you how superficial America can be. I’m not even talking about people who have toxic (subjective) or abusive parents.


They legit didn’t want to move back because 1.) “I don’t want to live with my parents” or 2.) “I don’t want to go back home to Louisiana”

How about work with the tenant

is she the only 1 tenant behind??

she been paying rent the last 3 years on time and no problem and now u going crazy because she missed a $1,000

Sue his ass for whatever u can get

Messed up landlords usually when you are a good customer the market will give you a chance over someone whose late. Same applies with credit card bills.

Her friend started a GoFundMe and she got over 10K the landlord gave back the front door.

Happy ending.

Merry Christmas

GoFundMe bailing out more Americans than congress.

Under regular circumstances it's best to figure out a way out of your own problems, but entire industries are collapsing around us.

If you have to take a knee and regroup, to use boxing terms, then that's just what the reality is.

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.

A long standing association is not the same as a "relationship" though. That's a discussion and understanding BOTH parties agree to, not one party assumes is there. The same happens with dating ALL the time. Just because you see someone regularly doesn't mean you're in a relationship, it has to be a mutual agreement.

Ultimate hustle, I ain’t mad at them

Fear of a tenant trying to fukk me over is what puts me off investing in real estate

No sympathy for her whatsoever.



Its stupid for an unemployed young-adult to insist on living alone when her mother lives literally next door and is current on her own rent.

This is why I can't deal with arguing with people on this site. This doesn't even boil down to your inability to grasp the meaning of words within the context they're used in.

You're unable to look at the situation and determine what is pragmatic.

You're dealing with someone who is keeping your home in good order and, until an event that is hurting the everyone around the world, was up to date with their payments.

How does forcibly removing them help? The same principle of setting up payment plans before forcing debtors into insolvency applies. You look with the view of recovering your money and continuing with a business relationship that will provide a consistent return when things stabilise.

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.

These are some of the same people that will threaten someone’s life over the $20 they’re owed, but all of a sudden worried about legalities . That landlord is no pettier than some of them.

Kind of funny that people don't realise how being a twat can bite people in the ass.

I remember the judges ordering a woman to pay back the rent she had accumulated at a rate of 50p a week.

The general idea is avoiding outcomes that will result in your losing money.

Nikka the landlords are already losing money as people came pay rent

These tenants are not going to have bread to catch up on rent regardless of how people try to spin it. You can work out a deal with them all you want, but the majority of them are going to remain behind for the remainder of the lease.

We’ve been conditioned in this country with the belief that as a grown person to live with one’s parents past a certain age means you are a bum. I know an extreme case where a buddy of mine moved back in with his mom STRICTLY because her health took a sharp turn for the worse. He was basically living there to make sure she was good and pay the rent because she couldn’t work and had lived there over 15 years so he didn’t want her to have to move. His girlfriend broke up with him on the basis of “She couldn’t respect a man who lived with his mother”




And when he’d go out with women he met on Tinder/Bumble and even wholeheartedly explained the situation they still wouldn’t take him seriously. All because he moved in to help his ailing mother.


Hell even I have these thoughts. If I fell on hard times and had to live with my mom at my age i’d be suicidal with thoughts of how much of a failure i’ve become. shyt like that would have my ass working every temp job in the goddamn city.


And yes I know its pathetic

First of all, this isn't an argument. We have opposing viewpoints and it's pretty common among adults. Maybe the landlord doesn't care about preserving some long standing relationship, ONLY with his tenant paying rent for his space they occupy. When they can't pay, he expects them to leave Again, he was an a$$hole, but I understand the frustration. She's unable to keep up with the terms of their original, longstanding agreement and it's unfortunate as to WHY she can't, but the landlord doesn't have to be receptive to continuing the agreement when she can't uphold her end of the bargain.

Every association is NOT a relationship.
