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

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

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.

People are trying to make it a “personal relationship”, when it’s more so business.

She lives in the apartment that’s generating rent and frees regardless of whether she has it or not. Therefore, it’s her responsibility to make those payments or leave. It’s that simple.

You are splitting hairs when it does not matter.

What are you looking to prove by drawing a distinction between an association and a relationship?

The fact of the matter is his actions are not pragmatic. I'm not looking at this from a "how could he do that to a single mother".

If you're sensible, you consider the reliability of the person to date and whether or not the situation will improve by removing them from the equation.

Gofundme lets me know that muthafukkas aint as broke as they say they are.

Also landlords have families too. If you cant handle living on your own then you have to move back home and build with your parents to come up with a comprehensive plan to pull yourselves up by your bootstraps and take responsibility for blah blah woompty woo yada yada yada etc.


Fukk a landlord.

Messed up situation all around but a dilemma that is taking place all over the country. People are out of work or got laid off and can't get their previous positions back, ate well off the unemployment checks but those have ended for a lot of people. The governors of these states have ordinances in place halting the ability for a landlord to evict a tenant (in Illinois its up until dec. 31) and the state and federal government is not giving relief to the landlords as mortgage payments taxes and sometimes water and heat that the landlord tries to make free to the tenant piles up on the landlord.

So now a huge mess is on the horizon. After these temporary halt of evictions run out homelessness is going to sky rocket because evictions will be at all time highs and the sheriff dept. Will make a ton of cash because if you pay them they put a rush on the eviction.

Landlords who don't pay the sheriffs get put to the bottom of the list for evictions which means a tenant can live another year or so rent free in the property.

Which means if the property owner can't get those units vacant cleaned restored and back on the market now here comes the big banks coming in and taking these properties for cheap right from the small owners either through the banks taking them for the owners being delinquent on mortgage payments or the properties being seized due to back taxes which get sold cheap at the auctions.

In the end the poor once again get screwed the small time property owners get screwed by the big real estate giants and banks. The burden should be pushed up towards the banks and mortgage companies who can handle the loss.

Taking off the door is flat out wrong. He will pay for that.

But I do understand the frustration of some landlords. My parents own 6 rental properties. One of them is a big 5 bedroom house. 12 years ago my uncle came to my dad and asked if they could let a friend of his move in because they really wanted their son to be in a better school district because he plays football and they want to get him noticed.


My parents agreed. They moved in and stayed for 12 years. My parents never raised their rent. The son got a scholarship and then got drafted into the NFL last year. Instead of buying his parents a house he buys them all Chargers and Hellcats. They then decide to stop paying rent 4 months ago.

No reason given. My parents are calling and calling but no return calls. My dad goes by the house and the son who got drafted into the nfl stepped to my dad on some disrespectful shyt when my dad asked about the rent. Low key was trying to punk him and flexed on him.

my dad was like. Go ahead Hit me. Make my day financially

Breh was

So I move back to Pa two months ago and he tells me what’s going on. I immediately contact a landlord lawyer. Get them together and get him on the case. Get the ball started on a eviction. The tenants call acting all shocked. They have a drive way full of brand new cars. 200 grand worth of cars at a rental property. Son is in the nfl. They just said fukk you to my parents and decided they were not paying rent no more. Now they are acting like we are so wrong for evicting them.

Wow!!! People have so many standards for landlords, while behaving like deadbeat tenants. It's audacious af.

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

We don’t know the whole story. The media likes to frame these stories to make the tenant look like an angel. I agree though, work with the tenant but maybe the tenant was a dikk. I tried to work with my moms tenant then he started acting like a dikk so I told him to leave. Tenants right now have more power than thry ever had. You think many aren’t taking advantage?

She probably didn't even pay the back rent with the gofundme because people have victimized her so badly.

fukk the tenant. No ones job to pay for you broke bum ass nikkas shelters

I already told my people if these clowns in these buildings don’t pay up just say the word and I’ll make their life hell. My Family owns the buildings, I manage em and they definitely ain’t nowhere near rich with the amount of expenses and repairs that go into these old ass buildings.

Go stay at a shelter. I don’t know why you clowns think it’s another person job to take care of you, bird bytch mentality...

My grandpop used to do this They said he smooth took the door off the hinges one day and he got paid almost immediately. It was the 70s so it was a different era.

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

This is why sometimes people who are immigrants stick to marrying and dating other immigrants because outside of America this is not a thing at all in many countries.


Having your mom in the house is actually more normal outside of America.
