Goes to show that renting out homes is no longer a passive income investment but now a liability…
Good, cuz its contributing to higher rent
So go live on the street if you refuse to pay for the roof over the head! If immigrants are able to get jobs and work and save enough to buy property, then what’s your excuse? Oh let me guess , ur probably a high school drop out who partied, did drugs got pregnant as a teen and now want hard working people to feed u..freaking begger
@@katrielisrael7262 if people don’t want to rent out their spare room/ place, and house price is high, then condos/ apartment companies can increase rent however they want; because supply is low and demand is high. What’s next?
@@katrielisrael7262 you're a clown. Not everyone can afford to buy a home so we rent. Rental properties is not the reason for higher rent. Low supply and high demand is the reason for higher rent
It's probably not moral to harvest humans for "rent" anyways. It's morally disgusting
The minute the landlords lose their ability to collect rent (that is not actually being paid) based on government moratoriums, should be the minute the landlords no longer need to pay property taxes (and possibly mortgages).
lmao this comment just ays out the uselessness of landlords. the person effectively paying the mortgage (i.e the tenant) should be the only one with any claim to the property.
@@tonymuhamad By that logic why not just use your own resources and credit to buy a house? I don’t agree with the lack of payment but you legit have no financial claim to the house just because you’re paying rent. And if there’s no mortgage, then what?
@@dwaynegeejr renters are the ones paying the mortgage. They are kept from getting ones of their own because of the structure of housing under our current system. Don't have a large sum of money to make a down payment? No house for you. Even if you have shown the ability and reliability necessary to pay monthly payments on time. Better question is, if landlords are so capable, why don't they just pay the house off before renting it out. Oh, they can't. That's why they get a tenant. So they can have someone else effectively paying for the house while making a profit on top.
@Anthony Ali renters don't have to make the down payment, repairs, credit risk, and make payments when the house is empty.
@@wokejoke2675 a down payment is a way to keep ownership in the hands of those with wealth. You can pay rent on time for 40 years but if you dont have a lump sum cash on hand for down payment no house? Elitism at its finest and youve been duped into believing it makes sense. Landlords are more often than not useless, especially large corporations that own multiple complexes
I keep repeating that the small landlords in California need to file a class action lawsuit against all of California.
For what???
Being a landlord is a business gamble and not a right.
If you don't agree you can get out the landlord business and do something else.

@@vandarkholme7759 That doesn't mean the government should have the right to create a situation that forces you to fail though. That was intentional on their part.
What really gets me is there are people who actually need help but can’t get it. Then you have predicators like this misusing people & the system🤬🤮😡
agreed
This exactly!
this is what you get when you have government safety nets it encourages lazyness and hardworking people have to pay more for their apartments because you have loosers who cant be kicked out because of the governments stupid rules
look more into how do they get away with it 🤔
That’s by design.
This tenant is going to make landlords less understanding of future tenants who may fall on hard times. SMH.
They sure are. Kudos to them, I’m now a firm believer that there are those that deserve to be homeless. I’ve got one now. Who could’ve done the right thing, but refused to help by just paying. And I have no mercy for them. As they showed us mom & pop landlords none!
The voters who see landlords push more and more onto the streets will have less forgiveness for the landlords, landlords are pushing more and more towards policies like rent control
all the landlords this year have to be extra picky. Any one with credit score under 750 are turned away.
It’s simple, being a landlord is a business. And if the government wants to allow landlords to provide the service while tenants live for free, the government should fund the rent payment until the moratorium is over. You can’t own a cupcake shop and let everyone eat for free.
@@molillaney7286 Great analogy. But that’s exactly what happened to us landlords. It’s insane. So my apts stay vacant. That way I’m not providing a product & service for free.
If you’re not paying rent you’re not a renter, you’re a squatter. It’s a welfare issue not a landlord issue. Wait till landlords stop renting, then you’re going to see a real housing shortage.
Been a rental housing shortage for many years. Nothing new about that. Just that their renters took advantage of the system that they were not paying rent before covid hit.
The landlords will sell the properties ?
They still have to pay for them right?
@@Highlander1432 if they are considered squatters they might even be able to live there longer cuz there are this thing called squatters rights. depends on the state tho. but i think its even harder to evict squatters than non paying renters.

My neighbor is going through something similar.
The "renters" are claiming mental anguish from covid and the government pays their rent and car payments.
It's absolutely absurd
The renters are complete trash btw
They aren’t going to stop sweetie. The ability to ask 6k a month for that shack , thats amazing
Now, I understand why my brother sold his apartments. He was afraid that tenants use covid protection for not paying rent. Also, property taxes here are ridiculous. On top of that landlords need to pay a percentage of the earnings. This sux 😔
That's awesome.

@@winning3329 who should?
@@winning3329 Does mommy and daddy pay your bills?

@@winning3329 because people deserve it all for free right? Some work hard enough to gain capital to invest and take the risk for others to reap the benefits? Ahh the sheer entitled laziness
This is EXACTLY why there is a housing crisis. As more of these things happen to the mom and pop landlords, they are taking their houses out off the market. Then all that is left are the corporate landlords who can charge those outrageous rents. Those are the same corporations buying up the houses with "cash".
It's a little bit of that but mostly Corporations just buying out properties period, they have gotten bored of that and now making rental single family housing communities instead now.
@@MadStyle1911 And guess who is selling those properties? The mom and pop property owners. Most of those own 1-5 properties. They are sick and tired of dealing with both the gov and the eviction process. I know a buddy who just sold his rental property to a corporation.
BTW, that family that was living rent free and running the water all day at my buddy's place? They are getting evicted within a few months. Corporate property companies have deep pockets and know folks to get the ball rolling.
Exactly. This is happening to me, too. I have a housemate who won’t pay, won’t sign her portion of the rental assistance, and hasn’t signed a declaration of hardship. Me and my kids (I’m a single mom trying to hold on to my house) have to live with this person with no money and she refuses to leave. And there is literally NOTHING I can do about it because of the eviction moratorium! This is messed up!
Make it sooooooo uncomfortable for them to a point where they have to leave
@@markunknown6507 they file harassment case and you will end up paying them more money than u think .
@@daiseymaine1413 not if you aren’t harassing them. If you purposely harass them it’s different than just making them uncomfortable. You’re in your own house doing what you want.
Here is a proposal for those landlords whose tenants are thumbing their nose at the landlords who think they can get away with never paying tens of thousands of dollars in rent that they owe, I'd like to suggest that you consider 1099ing your deadbeat tenants. According to the IRS, nearly any debt you owe that is canceled, forgiven or discharged becomes taxable income to you. If the landlord doesn't feel they have the funds to sue for a judgement about the unpaid rent, this is another avenue to consider taking. True enough, you won't personally get paid, but it is a way of giving a well deserved consequence to the tenant. You report to the IRS the amount that the deadbeat tenant has failed to pay. You also report the amount they owe you for property damage if they trashed the place after eviction. If you have not sued for the money and instead chose to discharge the debt, the IRS will in turn count it as income for the tenant. The tenant will then owe the IRS taxes on the amount of rent for which they stiffed you. And despite the fact that there are plenty of state laws that let tenants stiff landlords, there are no federal laws that let tenants stiff the IRS on paying tax on the debt they owe you, which will be viewed as income by the IRS. Speak to an accountant about it so that every penny they owe you for unpaid rent or property damages is counted as income for them by the IRS - income for which they will have to pay federal and state taxes. It may trigger other consequences for them, especially if they applied for federal funds to pay rent, but then used that money to buy TVs or go on vacation. It will cause their income from prior years to be recalculated, and they may then owe back taxes for the portion of income they did not report (recall that the unpaid rent is viewed as income by the IRS).
I'm not guaranteeing this will work in all markets, but suggest that you run it by a local accountant and a tax attorney.
I live in NY. And I had a tenant who I would see leave for work everyday..his wife and son wear working daily as well..nothing changed during the pandemic yet they refused to pay me rent because they “ could”..as soon as I was able to , I kicked them out..the wife started crying and said she would pay me the full amount in cash immediately…that actually made me more furious because they were saving money instead of paying me..they had a very affordable rent for a house that I could have EASILY gotten 1500$ MORE but I felt bad because they had small kids ….but they were saving all the money, and causeing me to lose my income while they lived in my property for FREE for. A year…I will never ever rent to struggling people…the tenants I have now are a younge professional couple who worry about their credit score and I learned my lesson to never help losers again
You gotta be that way and hold your standards high. Have a certain credit score and no evictions not owing utilities and having income three times more than the actual rent.
Maybe you didn't do a good background check on the people, it's good to help but help people who is also trying to help themselves remember it could always be you
How did you kick them out?
Interesting. One time I called an apartment complex to ask if they were renting and they said, "No, unless do you have section 8?" I said no. They said then no. Why would you prefer someone with section 8 to someone with a job?
@@shyshy80 yes let's demand incomes of 3x the rent in cities where rent is already 3x the wages people already can't afford to live off...
The landlord shouldn't have relied on the tenant providing the credit report, which turned out to be fake. They should have done a credit check themselves. Live and learn.
Still even when a potential tenant checks out good, they can still fall into hard times, then their problems become your problems. One of the perils of being a small landlord.
Oh please! That's no excuse for over 2yrs these people get away with not paying a dime. Eat your own words. Put yourself in their situation. That's THEIR property that they're paying a mortgage, homeowners insurance, property taxes & maintenance on for over TWO YEARS for these dirt bags to live there for free & get away with it.
Yup you always get an established real estate agent to do a full background credit check on who you rent to....even if you have to waive that first month of rent to the agent. Have never had issues going this route as a landlord.
pay rent !? Only stupid people pay rent ! pay student loans !? Only stupid people pay student loans ! welcom to Bidenomics !
Agreed. A credit report is nothing in cost in comparison to this nightmare.
@@infini.tesimo You're assuming it will come up with dirt. Criminals think of everything, including fake names to go undetected. Stop blaming victims. Criminals love taking credit for their own work. They're proud of themselves. They're not going to be grateful to you and thank you, lol.

$100,000 for 2 yrs of which 43,000 has been paid on top of that. So $144,000 for 2 yrs is $6000 a month for rent???
Different questions need to be asked here.
Exactly. Shame on this local news network in blaming the actual victim here. It’s definitely NOT this greedy landlords.
Bingo! That's the real crime that's insanity for rent.
its the bay area and a very saught after neighborhood. cant get a house under $2 mil here
Do you even live in Bay Area? Do you know what is the situation of the house right now? You all just counting rent, who is paying the property tax? Who is taking care of the repairs and utilities? It’s really easy to say when you are just the tenant. When you work so hard to buy a house and put it on rent, it hurts when all the hard work just goes to waste. And talk about $44k county gave, well, that might be a taxable income, so they literally might not even get anything out of it .
@@tngdrczp120 okay then go live some where else. no one told you to move to a rich place
These cases make me so mad. My mother's life has been turned up side down due to these type of tenants during the pandemic. People don't have compassion for landlords. My mom has huge bills to pay and because of these type of tenant she can't sleep, she's suffering from severe anxiety, and other medical problems due to anxiety. Hiring a lawyer is no good, just more money the landlord has to pay. Essentially these people can literally take over someone's property without any consequences. People like my mom and the family in the video save and borrow money to buy these properties as a financial investment, you hope you will be able to use the rent to pay for debts or your retirement. lawmakers have to do better for small landlords. It's infuriating.
nope. landlords are one of the lowest forms of people lol. milking every dime out of tenants. calling trailer parks cash registers. because the tenants are poor, and can be easily taken advantage of. funny how landlords cry about laws but will go to court and point to laws for evictions. landlords need to be heavily regulated. even small landlords.
Yeah, and lots of greedy landlords are raising rents up to 50% because there are no laws to prevent them from taking advantage of current tenats. So I don't really feel sorry for landlords. Some tenants are bad. Some landlords are bad.
@@d.lawrence5670 I live in a trailer park in ohio that's owned by a company in Texas. They didn't even have on site management for awhile. Now they hire the cheapest labor they can find.

It's the same in S.A squatters law.
June - landlords rarely have compassion for a struggling tenant who loses a job or gets ill.
All i can say for your mom is that thats the landlord business you make some you lose some.
Just sell and realize that your mom wasn't cut out for the landlord business.
This is why my friends and family took their properties off the market. Now you have even fewer options
That's good it's better to have less units then to be putting up with slumloards.

If the city extends the covid rules, then the city should pay the rental owners!
Wow! $101k over 2yrs is $4200 a month; for that house?
Yes, late fees add up quick.

Better to not leave it to chance and hire a real estate management company to properly vet the applicants. It's not cheap but I think it is better long term.
Yes,but if someone gets in and loses a job or some other mishap you can still have this problem no matter how good they are checked out!
Real estate management companies are a cover for fraud. They are the biggest problem contributing to the homeless crisis in California.
I hired property management and they got a squatter too.
Lower your rents so people can afford it.
This is the main reason tenants stop paying rent it's because it becomes unaffordable.
If you need extra money you can get a job.
@@winning3329 your delusional
He gave us fake income documents and credit report? This really sucks but honestly with such a valuable investment I would never cut corners in processing someone's application. A simple credit report and verification of the information on the application could have possibly saved them the trouble.
As a property manager/ leasing agent i can say you’re completely right, no experienced landlord would approve someone without running a credit report for $40 that you charge an application fee for. That said there are many people living at our properties that did meet all the requirements and are taking advantage of covid and owe 100k+, the alameda county eviction protocol is insane
@@brendangalvan4798 I think the fact that they're first gen immigrants might also contribute to them being vulnerable to American fraudsters.

It was thru a property management too so you know they doing dirty cash deals as well.
They probably got the credit report directly from the applicant. This is a big no-no. As for the income verification document, did they Google the company and call to make sure they are real.
@@shadow.banned correct
They made a big mistake not pulling the tenant's credit report and not verifying his income. It's not even the federal moratorium that's preventing eviction, it's their local government.

No one forced the tenant to sign the lease. It's supply and demand.
@@YA-qj8fx Watching this woman cry over a biz plan that didn't turn out the way she expected is a red flag. I wonder what these people do for a living? How many investment properties do they own? How did they finance those properties. Were they truthful on their loan applications? Do they have problems with other tenants? I see mom and dad live with them. Did they bring them over to the US and put them SSI? I'm not saying these people are grifters, but I want to know the whole story, not just one side. I've been around long enough to know when someone cries this much about getting burned it's because they thought they were getting over on someone else and that person turned the tables on them. Just sayin'.
Mortgage and property tax is easily more than $4000 a month in Fremont. It may not even be profitable to begin with, unless house was purchased over 10 years ago. Let alone the 30% downpay owners put into investment.
Amen sure do!
Exactly!
I live in a different state, Arizona, but even when we had a moratorium against evictions to at least pay something. We somehow only managed to be late once this whole time. Even though my mom lost clients due their parents being stuck working from home and doing online school with their kids and me losing out on photography and videography gigs after graduation, we still managed to pay our rent. People were getting that extra $600/week in unemployment and the stimulus checks. Instead of doing the smart thing with that money and either save it or use for bills, they chose to waste on frivolous stuff like new TV’s and gaming systems. Even if you didn’t lose your job, it was still smarter to put it away and save it.
Shut up
mcrchicjenlvr I too paid my rent all through even while out of work.
You were making sense until you went off the rails towards the end. You clearly know nothing about how many people spent their stimulus checks (& 'interesting' attempt at making it seem like it was multiple checks ppl spent on TVs or whatever other made up luxuries you suspect all those people spent their miniscule funds on: it was all of TWO checks given out over two YEARS $1200 and $600-800 with a third stimulus in 2022 that many didn't even get ) Wow a bonanza windfall for all the lazy delinquents around the country!
With rents in most cities what they are (& which this video is an excellent example) incredible high, most often that wouldn't even cover a lot of people rent or food bills) So the money would ve been spent with a month or two. Who but the lucky or reasonably well off /financially more secure could have 'saved' those puny checks???
Your empathy or sympathy seems to primary for yourself and your family while casting aspersions on millions of others in the same boat as you. Gtfoh.
Yes so true. I don’t understand why many people didn’t save at least half.
Wait they got 43,000 from the state and still 100,000 this sounds wrong???
I moved out of the Bay area because of these types of rental rates. Look at that house. Doesnt look maintained well and is in ghetto Freemont where there's daily shootings? Yeah, that's worth 4k/monthly.

Start using a service where you can report onto the tentants credit that they aren't paying.
They can also backdate up to 2 years that they haven't been paying
You let him give you his credit report!!! 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
EVEN if you pull a credit report today, courts are NOT reporting someone being removed for failure to pay rent and it's literally wiped off their records if they leave. This is the reason people are selling their rentals and there will be a glut of homes on the market soon.
Honestly it will be good for everyone if the whole rent for a living business dies down
Was this always the case, or just if you were evicted during Covid?
@@KP99 I have seen this on some of the Judge TH-camrs currently on, as a way to sweeten the pot if they leave. It may be a Covid thing, since the different states do not want to make it difficult for the non-payers to find new housing, literally keeping landlords out of the loop, so states don't have to rehouse them on their dime (imo).
I don't know that courts are not reporting eviction, but the landlord and leasing companies can and do. They can sue for back rent and if it's not paid, it goes on the credit report.
@@WkUpPeople Even if the back rent accrued during the eviction moratorium? It's amazing to me that we never hear about what became of the finances of people who didn't pay rent for 17 months during the moratorium. There's no way they paid back 17 months of rent once it ended, and many didn't get rental assistance from the government to pay it back. So do they just have a big delinquent debt on their credit report? Are collectors going after them? Are they being sued by landlords for the back rent? It seems like a completely unreported story
Let your property be rented out with the people you know! No matter how nice the stranger looking for a rental place, do not take a bait. We are living in a desperate times, people do desperate stuff. Hope, all thing will still end up well.
Commie Newsom is just one in the long line of commies who will rule the state. They are telegraphing their agendas and the middle class better takes notice. They are gutting out the landlords and if you are a landlord and not paying attention you will be screwed. This shenanigan is not the end. It's just the beginning. CA will not end up well.
The renters were not desperate, they abused the system before covid hit. Fraud happens all the time and a lot of them have not paid rent in years.
People known to each other eg family or close friends regularly or often betray each other. There's no guarantee there either.
@@learntospellpeople Exactly! There's no guarantee whatsoever.
It also depends on which states you buy rental property in. Some states make it much more difficult to evict someone.
The State basically confiscating private property without compensating the owner.

Exactly. It's interesting to read someone who sees this situation from another perspective. Most are sympathetic to these landlords problem. But *That* house is not worth 6k or ~however many thousands per month they were charging if it came to 100k over 2 years. Bay Area or no BA. They look like typical profiteers who got conned by even bigger con people.

A house like that $100,000 in 2 years. Sorry landlords. You shot yourself in foot with this one. A house like that should cost no more then $24,000 a year.
These greedy foreigners have hurt the bay area. They deserve this. Sorry.
Nah that house probably worth at least 1.5-2m dollars.
Someone doesn't understand how gentrification in San Francisco and San Jose and white privilege in Palo Alto work...
Landlords, need to launch a class action lawsuit against Alameda County.
County extends the eviction moratorium, but landlords are still required to pay property tax. Something is out of whack.
Allow me move in and cause havoc in their daily lives, and I'll make sure they move. I'll even do it free of charge just for the thrill of it.
If he did in fact give a fake credit report with his application, that would be grounds for eviction.
There’s a alameda county moratorium on evictions.
The government has completed rotted from the inside out.
These government employees have become AUTHORITARIAN.
My friend were also in the same situation. After 2.5 years tenants were evicted. Its a sad situation to be in.
Tenants like these are the reason rent has skyrocketed
100,000$ for two years?
Serious questions right now
Late fees every month for 2 years.
The obvious solution here would be to advocate for those loopholes to get closed. And somewhat surprising that fraud doesnt invalidate your protections.
And while the Landlord will get hit hard now- they will get the money back in Court so I don't feel bad.
For those that are commenting on the rental price being too high, clearly you haven’t been to the bay. Rental prices in the Bay Area are the highest in the country. I lived in Berkeley for years, the price of this house is very typical.
Yep, I live in San Jose, ca.
This isn't just happening in California it's also happening here in Las Vegas and where I'm from in Houston originally very bad situation Arizona has had a lot of problems doing Phoenix with renters not wanting to pay after the pandemic situation it's really happening a lot of places more than you think
Wasn't everybody moving to Arizona for cheaper rent? What happened?
@@tutsecret499 exactly
Time to cash out on your Vegas rental homes before the interest rates climb higher.
How is this fair. Landlords have to live as well.
Thank you for sharing your story. This is one of many other cases where landlords are being abused by tenants and the looseness in the terms laid out by the Eviction Moratoriums accross the State of CA. There are many other landlords on the verge of losing their homes, having to share their home with abusive tenants, or have to compromise their lives because they cannot evict non-paying or bad tenants.
It’s absolutely criminal that this legally possible. Who’s fault is it that this is legal? There will always be scammers and the law is supposed to protect victims, not scammers. We have scammers not paying rent and we have greedy landlords increasing rent 30% to 40% annually all legally. Who is responsible for this mess, the absurd laws that allow this? Don’t blame the pandemic or inflation like they want you to, these are man made laws.
Are the landlords up to date on their fire insurance?
My thoughts exactly 💯, when they leave at it ablaze just sad t he amount they owe they could've bought the home but nah won't pay rent surely won't buy it
No. But they have plenty of savings from all the years of gouging tenants.
Not these particular landlords. Landlords in general. Ever been to NYC?
Wow - why are Covid laws on apartment eviction still applicable to California ? For most states it ended last year !
Get your closest relative to purchase the house and buy it back from them. Tenant will be gone.Try it, nothing else to lose but making your tenant disappear would be another solution.
That’s not true. You can evict people who haven’t paid April rent under the new law. And evict anyone who hasn’t applied for rental assistance.
If they applied to Housing is key before April 1 and the application is pending. You can’t evict. Housing is Key is run so poorly. They tell landlords nothing and it takes for ever to get your application looked at. Also, attorneys are expensive.
This poor couple has lost ownership of their house. They should sue the county for effectively taking the property without compensation, I believe the legal term is "loss of use". Find a better lawyer and take the county to court!!! (Or sell the property and move to Texas where this sort of ridiculous scenario would never be allowed.)
As long as they are not in a lease, They can sell their house under the Ellis act.
What's Ellis act? does it include bldg too and corporates. I am worried, I am honest tenant and I live here 25 years. And now everybody received a letter saying the bldg will be inspected for sale. It's the 3rd the bldg changed landlord. The 1st landlord sold because of will split, the 2nd landlord refurbished the bldg and sold, and now the 3rd landlord wants to sell. I wonder are we having tenants here that did not pay the landlord. It's hard to believe if there are many here that is not paying. Everybody here looks healthy, hint, hint. And somebody refuses to find work. Somebody is scammin.
@@tutsecret499 pretty sure if they are rezoning it, they can Ellis act it. The Ellis act is basically saying you want out of the rental business by selling it, make the rental your perm address or rezone it.
I think tenants shouldn’t be able to do this, however, rent shouldn’t be able increase every year if minimum wage doesn’t increase every year. I’ve always thought that was stupid.
we have to raise our rent by 20% this year because our property taxes were raised, repairs after last squatters/tenants left was $20k for just a 1 Bedroom apartment. if we don't raise rent, we cannot afford to rent it out. We had to use our own savings for the previous repairs.
exactly, and the property owners live in such a large house and I feel like we live in a society where people never get full.
@Alex Takessian supply and demand is very dangerous thing, overconsumption is real and will ravage any society and or natural resource.
what does the people home have to do with minimum wage? this person is a criminal not a renter. He is not paying rent.
@@martymakeupartist excuses as usual for criminals
how can someone renting under false info not be a criminal. the politicians are horrible. how is this allowed in the "law abiding lands"
At this point sell the house!
This is obvious criminal fraud. The CDC says there are ways to evict the tenants such as if the owner wants to move into his home, if the owner wants to do extensive renovations, and if the tenants are breaking any rules such as allowing people to live in the home that are not on the lease which is happening here. They should look into this because if those tenants are subleasing to other people they are breaking one of the rules that could have them evicted during a moratorium. At least that's what the CDC said.
Check Alameda County Eviction Moratorium.
How you get passed with a fake paystub I live in Missouri we can’t even get past with that they’ll notice the difference, the point is how you allowed someone to move onto your property with a fake paystub 🤦♀️
Greedy foreigners just were not on point to concerned about the money they missed the red flags but I don't feel bad people can come here and live better than people who are from here he found a loophole and used it same thing that has been done to Americans by the government 😀 😉
So unfair to the owners. Renters seem to have all the rights today, even if they don't pay, but can afford to. I would never invest in rentals.
Landlords should have been the only one's to apply for rent relief not renters.
Thank you I said this when it 1st started. And then there wouldn’t have been a need for skyrocketing rents, and housing shortages. But this was planned. So good luck when the large corporations take over & only offer up luxury apts & no longer take sec. 8. Which is what’s happening & I cheer them on!
@@Blah-blah-sure Planned or not there are idiots in government. They are to blame for this and I hope landlords especially private one's sue them for this. They act as if they are naive to people wanting money and not doing the right things with it. Unfortunately, you have to treat some people like children and make decisions for them and giving rent relief to those renters was a really dumb idea but it is as if the government is throwing money to the financially illiterate who will not make the best decisions. Which is why this should have been for landlords. A lot of schemes and scams due to no real planning and oversight shut out those in need. They do it for welfare which allows people to live off of it without pursuing better for themselves, totally disabling them. I've seen it from all walks and backgrounds too. The tough parents are going to have to step up in government and stop being Charmin soft.
@@wanluv whew. You said a mouth full of truth! Thank you
So are these tenants saving up to buy their own properties.
Exactly what I did 😂
They're saving up to buy the property from their current landlords, who will have to foreclose or sell the prop to the non-paying tenant. The tenant will buy the prop at a steep discount. Smart cookies, those tenants.
@@d.lawrence5670 if you watch the video it said that they were planning to use their rent money to pay for college for their children.
@@winning3329 talking about tenants
@@winning3329 That was what the landlords were planning, the question was what are the tenants saving all the rent they don't pay for
My manager kicked me out after I owed 800 and I was gonna pay him next week I lost a job and it took me a while to find one that guaranteed full time but I only owe him $800 I know he kicked me out illegally but he’s a drunk with guns so I left I wish he could see this I been working during the whole pandemic paying rent on time
Absolutely disgusting. What a true devil. Who could steal from this family .
The state and/or county should be paying the rent and any late fees/interest. This is absurd.
This is only one example of how CA is gutting out the middle class especially the landlord class.
Well… My sympathies to these landlords. I can’t believe (Although I knew, sadly) That there was nothing about requiring tenants to pay a portion, a fraction, whether it was 25% or 50% of the rent, to avoid eviction- Of course, more so if they had not lost actual employment!
It’s probably not much consolation, but when they finally get these dang thieves out of their property, at least if they go to sell it now it has probably gone up in value at least $80,000 or more over the past two years due to the insane increases of Bay Area home prices. I wish these landlords the best
These landlords won't be sleeping on the streets anytime soon.
Also why don't they get jobs?
They made the mistake of relying on the tenants income when they should be relying on their own income.
I wonder if they lied to the bank about their income?
Yeah it’s terrible. This country encourages criminals. And forces the law abiding citizens to obey & pay for them. Lucky for me I was able to evict my criminals & now they’re homeless. Do I feel sorry, no because they could’ve paid & had no regards for me. I personally can’t wait for this economy to go belly up. Then the clowns that cheer on the crooks will get theirs.
@@joeschmoe8320 RIGHT!!!!! And charging friends rent to live with him
The thieves are the CA politicians.
They were so cheap that didn’t do they own credit report lol
Imagine if they were too cheap to do that would they be too cheap to do necessary repairs?
And this is why landlords have raised the rent.
Poor family! They tried to do something good for someone and he turns on them! Hopefully they find justice SOON!!!!
All rents should be easily affordable.
So should food, gas, medical bills, clothing, but they are not. It's not just rent
bruh you cant tell people how much to rent their place out for. that's like you tryna sell your house and I'm like nah I wanna pay 1$
The law is the law he didn't want to be homeless. But he still should pay these people their money. They have bills too.
What most fools don’t realize is that when they finally do get evicted no body will take a chance on them. And as I know the longer u stay the more rent you’re going to pay. This was planned by our government it screws the small landlords who offered better housing in most cases. Ex. I had rentals for $825.00 per month, 2 bedrooms. Well I got screwed. Now just Googling 2 bedrooms for rent shows $1,200-2,000. Easily and those are even no vacancies. So bad tenants aren’t helping the few decent ones. Btw I just keep mine vacant n smh.
He is a scam artist and has a history of doing so...how did you not get that watching this video?
there are no use of extending the rent amnesty when the renters are not even trying to pay their rents.
Such a horrible situation. I hope this landlord can get there money.
$4,000. 00 a month of rent for a small modest house!!
I’m sure they are also charging them 2 years of late fees on top of the rent.
@@snowwhite7704 Nothing to do with government. It supply and demand. They can’t charge above market rent for the area or it will just stay vacant.
Nobody is forced to live in Silicon Valley and the Bay Area. They can always move to a cheaper city snd state if they want cheap rent.
They should never have taken a credit report, they had to run one themselves after verifying identity. I purchased a 4 apartment home just before the pandemic. My first time as a landlord. I trusted no one, and for my first tenant I asked for state ID, SS, employer name, pay stubs, bank statements, previous landlord, references, etc etc....I ran the credit report myself. I called the employer, I called the former landlord, I called the references, no stone unturned. It helped that she was a medical professional. I did fine even though with all that I could have still ended up with a non-paying tenant. For the other 3 units I did AirBnB and (I am in NYC) no stays longer than 30 days, I max at 28 days to be safe because upon 30 continuous days of occupancy they gain tenant rights. My 3 bedroom 1.5 bath for the tenant rents for $2,500/month but the same AirBnB which is usually booked solid gets me $4,800 a month, same with the other units. Why would I ever deal with tenants after this.
What do you do about the electric and water bills for the Airbnb? I heard that alone can eat a large percentage of the rent?
@@Iceyfire12 Not sure what it is for other people but my units have a single LED in each room, plus an LED lamp in the living room. That's 5 bulbs and most are off except kitchen and living room, so where is the huge cost? Guests are out most of the day so lights are off. Water? I have a standup shower in each unit with and everything has water restrictors so no huge cost there. The things you mentioned add very little cost.
I would play rock music outside their window starting at 2am every night
I've heard of squatters calling the police on landlords for harassment. Then the landlord gets threatened with arrest.
How much was the rent on the property?
Who'd want to be a landlord? Maybe there is a correlation between landlords being victimized and a shortage of housing.
Yes what's going to make it worse is those of us that have paid around through the pandemic some of the private owners of properties are going to have to raise their rents just to try to break even
Raise it to what? They already charging 6k a month for rent. 🤣🤣🤣🤣. All jokes aside California screwed over landlords big time!
@@johnblack2999 this is so true many landlords her mom and pops will end up giving up on there proterties and the big companys will come in buy the places and start charging $1,500 for a single $3,000 for one bedroom and up and up and up unfortunately
Extortionate rent rates. Owners are renting That ranch for around $50,000 per year????????????
The renters likely owe thousands in late fees. If you are months late, just paying back normal rates isn’t good enough. The rent is based on on-time payment. The owners would have late fees and penalties on their mortgage and property taxes.
Since obviously when this tenant was actually paying rent 2 years ago, the real question is what do they do for a living to afford that much and second, where is all that money going since they aren't paying it?
Bums being bums!
Then they get on here saying a landlord made a investment and that has risk, but they should be able to evict and put a end to this madness!
No more government interference!
Yes because every situation is black and white, either/or. Use your brain, human. You do realize that life has context and nuance? I swear, people like you and others in the ignorant majority will destroy us all one day soon.
They don’t understand when this current regime does this it means socialism. You’re a smart person you see all the chaos being created.
I just like a simple life, eat three times a day, pay my monthly utilities, go for short vacation, no extra splurging that I don't need.
Sounds like it’ll make for a great epitaph. They might just simplify it and put the “meh” emoji 😑 lol j/k simplicity isn’t always a bad thing.
Don’t understand why the county doesn’t change the law or close the loopholes. The con artist is causing the property owners think twice before renting their house and keep honest renters out of market.
2 years later landlords are increasing rent to make up what they lost.
The rent on that house is $4200!! Wild
And equally wild is the city paying the landlord $43k instead of changing their crazy policies
The city should have paid them the entire amount!
They now realize they should have said rent is 25k a month 🤭
Who's supposed to pay the landlords while rents are waived?
Tax payers?
Maybe they could get a real job like normal people?
Jesus, that means the rent is $4,100 per month, that’s crazy
What a wonderful husband he just sits quietly
isnt there a loop hole if you have to move back into your house - then you can evict them or give them a 30 day.
courts in Alameda County is not issuing summons for that as well. my Uncle applied 7 months back but nothing yet. Top of that he needs to pay good amount to renters in name of relocation.
Renters are also tired of paying triple and even more of their landlords mortgage. EVERY SINGLE MONTH. SHOULD BE CAPPED AT DOUBLE THE LANDLORDS MORTGAGE PERIOD.
move
@@niteknight265 Don't have to greedy landlord. I don't pay rent. Own 3 houses. My tenants don't pay 2000 for a studio. 101k owed. I call BS. 50k a year just in rent.
It’s not the way the world works. We live in a capitalistic, democratic republic based on meritocracy. Everyone is responsible for themselves here. Your ideas are better suited for Venezuela, Cuba or North Korea.
@@stevenkremer921 So I'm a communist Because landlords are greedy? Lol. Hope the same happens to you. Greed is a powerful thing.
@@jacobwilson1457 So you know the square footage and where on the Malibu beachfront this property was located? What makes you think it was not a $4K per month home?
I know a friend who is going to law school at the moment. He squatted a Motel 6 for a year, and even helped a bunch of friends squat rooms in the same motel. The motel eventually stopped allowing anyone to stay 13 days, the cutoff for the protection in Washington. He would then go around the apartment celebrating his victory and egg the owner on to harass him, so he could document the harassment and "justify" his non-payment.
And renters still play the victim card all the time
Over one hundred thousand for 2 years of rent. You should be ashamed charging so much money.
