Glad she found another place. Good luck to that landlord on the search for a new tenant in the middle of a pandemic.
Next tenant will pay one month than decide to not pay at ALL!! Lol
lelabrooks04 🤣
You’ll be surprised it’s people that pays these crazy prices that makes landlords raise the rent as much as they like.
Dario36515 problem with that is that will never change. It will all come down to supply and demand. It’s temporarily a tenants market. Landlords are thirty for tenants and lots of tenants are scrambling to find or maintain employment. Some landlords are increasing rents just to cover the possibility of not being able to raise rents for 5 years. Just no winners in this equation. That landlords should have kept that tenant just to have the income and then be able to market any rent he wants in two years when the economy sees a fraction of some sort of stability.
During a pandemic means absolutely zero I see families moving into new places where I reside I don't know if they were forced to leave or whatever the case may be but I definitely see different people moving in an out during this time
I swear folks can’t wait to take advantage of people during critical times smh.
N Why Even If this was normal times, landlords should not be able to increase the rent more than 5 % every year
You are so right and landlords will never have a problem renting out to new tenants, because of supply and demand.
*N Why* you need to learn to withhold judgment unless you have all the facts. First of all, why didn't the media reach out to the landlord for their side of the story? That's pretty shady to me. Second, most teachers whom I know have either switched their courses to online format or they are being paid for sitting at home while their schools are closed. Notice how this news story does not even address this issue and the woman doesn't mention it during her interview.
@Truthfears Guilty no actually you don't know what you're talking about. Many landlords are average schmucks like you and I who live month to month just to pay their bills. My mother was a landlord and tenants took advantage of her by moving in with boyfriends/girlfriends or other family members and causing her water bill to skyrocket. When tenants paid their rent late or missed payments altogether, she would miss her mortgage and the bank in turn would hit her with late penalties.
@Truthfears Guilty now you're talking in circles because first you said all landlords are greedy but now you're backpedaling and saying it's the banks. To answer your question, you do know (don't you? I hope you do!) that most people _finance_ their homes rather than buying them. In fact most people (close to 90 percent) don't even pay cash for their CARS! So why would you expect someone to pay cash for a house, which is usually much more expensive than a car. As far as why people borrow money to buy a home (as opposed to renting, like I do) they do it for one of several main reasons: 1) they view it as an investment. Unlike most assets, real estate tends to appreciate rather than _depreciate_ in value. In some cases it can grow in value quite substantially. 2) People like the idea of owning a home because it gives them a certain amount of "freedom" -- freedom to make additions or modifications as they see fit (e.g. a landlord won't allow his/her tenant to add a new bathtub or redo a kitchen, but if you own the house then you can do whatever you want with it and this can increase your home's value). 3) Buying a home can also qualify you for certain tax breaks.
If she is a good renter who takes good care of the house the landlord is very lucky to have her.
@M Detlef where in the video does it say the woman is unemployed? Because I strongly suspect she's not. She's a teacher isn't she? All of the teachers in Chicago (where I live) are getting their full salaries ($55K and up) to sit at home. So either she's getting her full salary while she's furloughed or some or all of her classes have migrated to an online format. In fact if she's willing to whine about her rent increase then chances are she would whine if she had no income.
He probably want to give the place of somebody else that was willing to pay more money.
@M Detlef LOL. You are probably a landlord who would likely raise the rent because they can't survive anymore due to not saving correctly.
Most teachers are not unemployed. They continue to try to teach online classes and get paid. The money for there pay is from the schools budget. The landlord is being greedy. I'm a landlord and wow is never give a great tenant an increase like that. They would move.
Damn, GREED is that landlord's buddy and I hope nobody rents his sad ass little house EVER!!
Why would u risk losing a great, responsible tenant, all for a couple hundred more?? You’d rather have an empty house and have no money coming in, than have it rented out AND being able to sleep at night cus you’re housing a family??? Doesn’t make sense to me
Maybe the county raised his taxes, maybe she's using up a lot of water, maybe she's not keeping the place clean, maybe homeowners insurance went up. Go buy a home and get back to me
@@charlesscott27 lol that's unlikely and discrimination. Of course she have to prove it.
@Tat Bas lol. What? If when low income people can't afford housing they need to move. It's a competitive market and winners take the prize
EXACTLY, it doesn't make sense! *Which lends me to believe there might be something else going on here, I mean, **_we never got the landlord's side of the story._* what if she was a difficult tenant who was costing the landlord out of house and home? what if the greedy district was taxing the property beyond the landlord's capacity to absorb the cost? Maybe the house is going to need major repairs that the landlord will need to make payments on in order to afford? *We can't judge someone until we know.*
I'm so confused by the landlord's actions.
It would be funny if he puts it on the market and doesn’t get a tenant for months. Then he’s forced to lower the price she was paying for it. 😂
RealOne4 That would be sweet!! 😊😊
More then likely, that's what's going to happen
Nope you guys would be surprised these people who willing to pay crazy prices like this is why landlords can raise the rent as much they like. Seen my landlord renting out a house for $2,500 a month (This is not NYC,LA or DC) and his phone was blowing up left and right for that rental and is not even a house its a remodeled apartment
Ill be devils advocate here because it sucks for everyone right now. We dont know the landlords situation. It could be that they needed to raise the rent because of other issues. They might have gotten laid off or or furloughed and the only thing that is keeping them afloat and paying the houses are renters. So they have to increase rent to pay the house and other utilities. You can be a landlord oening 1 house and while live in an apt. Or with family
there will ALWAYS be people willing to pay what this landlord wants, it happens all the time.
I'm hoping he loses this house because of his greedy ass also whatever things he own. You don't take advantage of people and get away with it.
@The Truth about Africa hurts they may be legal, but at a time like this ( the virus) it's a damn shame. He's taking advantage
@The Truth about Africa hurts nobody said she mismanaged her money. When there is a crisis going on, you don't jack up the rent. If this had happened to you, you would be talking a different tune
@L B that's besides the point, this is not a time to be jacking up rent on anyone. You don't know if she's getting paid or not, not all teachers are teaching over the web. If it was you, you wouldn't be to thrilled either
@L B Go watch it again they raising all their rent not just hers. You make got a bank full of money no wait I bet you"re landlord not wait you must be a person that just don't care about other people.
Last I checked they can raise rent they just have give 30 days notice
If you have a good renter that takes care of the place and always pays the rent rarely, rarely ever do you raise the rent on them that somebody you want to.. keep.
Only he cares more about money than anything else. It happens.
FACTSSS!
Actually it's fairly common for rent increases feel fortunate to not have had to deal with it wherever you're residing. It's absolutely gotten out of control with rent increases not at all being comparable to wage increases.
Taxes, insurance, repairs, and maintenance increase every year. Have to raise the rent to cover the increases, no matter how good the tenant is.
I have lived in places, paid my rent on time, improved the property and was neat and clean. Yet the owners of the property never fix anything. Getting paid back for repairs was litterally nonexistent.
I hope nobody rents that apartment. I’m so sick of people being greedy.
You know what's more sickening...allowing tenants to be allowed to not pay rent while the government doesnt work for free but expects landlords to
That extra $250 a month; he wants her to pay, probably will go for his car payment to be paid for. What an idiot landlord, she took good care of that house plus she probably paid on time, he thought she was going to be easy and go ahead and pay the $250 increase, she got the last laugh. Let's hope his next tenant is a trash hoarder.
Right like me lol. I would tear that place up
I’m looking for a place to set up as a squatter what’s the address????
@Teresa H to be honest, the rent that she is paying ($875.00 per month) is below market value for that area...for that sized house, I used to live in Mooresville NC, the landlord is raising the rent to meet market value (since the least is up), not that I'm condoning the actions of the landlord, just understanding both sides of the matter
Mark Floors ...... Oh pleases, if what she was paying was under market value then why didn't the landlord raise her rent long before now.
@@teresah.6696 that $875.00 has been below market value for a few years now, perhaps a multiyear least? That we don't know, but again...not that I'm condoning it, just understanding both sides, that's all
Maybe he'll get lucky and some druggies can move in and destroy the place...Good luck with your perfect new house❤️
@@charlesscott27 ....then go for it...u will probably get a good drug deal..No Minded whack job..
Right
Most likely drug dealers will and make it into a trap house. Lol
Now the owner will sit on an empty property with no rent. He sounds like a smart businessman 🤣😂😂 Id rather take in 875$ a month and let her keep it cleaned and organized than wait months before someone could afford it (with everyone losing their jobs).
Joshua Ford And that’s why you’re writing TH-cam comments instead of making business deals
No kidding! Teachers are good renters!
@@mattck92 wait someone who doesnt have capital is a bad business person?
How inhumane and low do you get?? Ridiculous.
Yeah. Everybody wants to price gouge everything.
It is called, supply and demand, and yes, landlords can raise the rent and they will never have a problem with getting renters.
It’s not price gouging. The lease was up.
That's why they should penalize landlords that harass paying renters during this pandemic
@@patricksaxon3983 oh yes they will 😂
Patrick Saxon There may not be a problem with getting renters, but getting renters who won’t have any problems remains to be seen.
Whoa $875/mt for a whole house? While I’m here in a 1 bedroom apartment for $1700/mt with no central air? California California.... but on a serious note, the landlord raising the rent by more than 1/3 of the amount is ridiculous. Is that legal?
Fuck that. Cali too expensive and overrated.
It depends if there is rent control, and that varies city to city.
Bama Made well if I can afford it, why am I the fool? It’s the average monthly rent in my area. It’s just crazy to think it’s so cheap over there
No tax force or rent control means no problem for the owners
Try 1544 for a one bed in New Jersey with no other amenities except occasional mold that grows in the closets. I’m so going to work hard to own my own house or mobile home I’m over this
We charge $600.00 a month for a two bedroom house here in Nova Scotia !we are not greedy
Good for her! Greedy landlord will lose money now that nobody will rent that place with this crisis hahahahahahahaha
This reporter is a fool, you can very well evict right now, I'm in the process at the moment, its called telephone hearings, read above, trust me, some of these sweet innocent ones are the worst, normally you would not do this to a perfect tenant, maybe shes smoking inside, got a pet, non payer or sub-letting.?...etc. .I'd like to hear the Landlords side..??
And its very easy to rent a unit right now, I just did, and my phone is still ringing...don't be a fool too...
@Andrea Gomez ...Just speaking from 20 years experience as a Landlord....ever hear one kids complaints, and then you hear the other kids side of the story and go.....Ahhhh, ..ok, ..now it makes sense..??
@Brian Waller ...Look 20 years ago I was paying 26 bucks flat rate for water bill, ..now they added meters on water going in and out, ..bill is now over 400 bucks, so we need to raise rents sometimes, ...that's one small example.
We simply offer a space to live, if you don't like it go somewhere else, or go buy your own house.
@Damia Savon ....you seem very intelligent....hahahaha...!!! ...thanks I needed that..!!
@Kai Wong She said her son's were grown.
Our wa state landlord raises the rent 10% every year and has never fixed a thing. I hate this.
Buy a mortgage with a fixed rate from the "evil" bank, you'll be safer in something you own.
Nicole Jennings agree! I would never be able to relax in a rental home not knowing what the owner/landlords can do at any minute including “check-ins”. I refuse to ever rent. Never have, never will!
Problem is you gotta have 10s of thousands of dollars to do that and for some who are working a average job for such a low wage its nearly impossible
@@terrao4971 heavens no! Lucky you to have such an option. Gasp! #ballonloans #redlining #checkitout
@@Dario36515 work two jobs, hell work 3 jobs. That's what I did to buy the house I live in

This is funny, teachers are just normal people .... we all struggling ..
Teachers are still getting paid and working at home instead and great benefits and retirement. I dont feel bad for teachers , I was married to one. Once tenured cant be fired
Glenn Zlotowski It does not matter. A landlord should not be able to raise rent more than 5 % every year.
@@olestokke exactly it could be a prostitue or an ex-con - landlords cannot raise rent during a fucking global pandemic in the greatest country on earth. Have some compassion in these unprescedented times.
@@franceslazarovich7442 not my family members who are teachers.
Glenn Zlotowski I was about to post the same. She is getting paid. Some are not. Pay the rent or move. Lol
Happened to me too. 28% increase as of March 1st. Good timing greedy landlords! It’s insane but legal. It’s simply retaliation because they want to sell and expected me to just move after I had shoulder surgery. Ya right! Asses.
People would do whatever to take advantage especially during a pandemic.
My landlord listed our house and keeps complaining that I wont let hoards of strangers into my apartment during a pandemic. I have offered to let her take video for virtual showings but they refuse, they also tried to evict me even though I am current on rent and have been here for 9 years!! I told them I won't move in a rush or change my daughter's school on a whim. I can't stand the current renting laws it's like you have to own a home or get pushed around.
Woke up to a 31% rent increase today
I think her rent was pretty low for an entire house. Most apartments i know would cost twice that amount..
True that. That's a BIG ROOMY HOUSE with yard and everything...rent suppose to be at least $1500. Yep, he WILL FIND someone to rent it....his asking price is ONLY around $1100.... not bad in my opinion... I have seen worse.... BESIDES, SHE'S A TEACHER DON'T THEY HAVE UNIONS AND MAKE DAMN GOOD MONEY?
Its all relative to the local market. A house in San Jose California costs 10x the price of a house in Albuquerque New Mexico.
Depends on where you live , city state.town cost of living. Compare small town in Georgia/ Kentucky vs Atlanta/ Boston.
Glad she's moving out. He can stick that old house up his nose.
@Lua Dipa Sorry but houses are exactly getting rented out like crazy right now and people don't have money to spend a lot in rent. If anything he may have to price it lower than what she was originally even paying. Hopefully the house doesn't get rented at all and he loses a lot of money.
@Lua Dipa key word people with money. We have the highest unemployment of all time. The people with money aren't renting they are buying. Rent prices have already gone down not up.
hehe
It's his house, if he looks at his budget and needs to raise the rent for it to make sense to him that's his right. Landlord has expenses that raise as well too, theres not point in being a landlord if its costing you money. You also have the right to move as well
nordette No landlord should be able to increase rent more than 3-5 % every year.
@@olestokke that depends on where you live. It's the landlords property at the end of the day. Also in the end the market will determine the price, if they price it too high no one will rent it and they will have to lower it again
Agreed
$875 ??? Damn where does she live?
875 is not a good deal. I pay 525 a month for two bedroom apartment where I live at. Its newer and nicer than that.
@@coolerking7427 Where do you live, I'm in Miami,Fl and it's expensive here too😭😭😭😥 I'm looking to relocate.
2000’s
$875 for a house in Mooresville NC is cheap. The town is booming.
Jason Jones I pay $900 a month for a bedroom in Los Angeles
I’m glad she found a new place and good luck to the landlord finding a tenant willing to pay.
No, the landlord will never have a problem finding renters, it is called supply and demand.
No one is goin to pay above market for that ugly ass house
@@terrypi4758 Rent being so high, renters will not have any choice.
That house is huge for $875. In Bronx, NY a one room studio is $1600 these days. And that includes gunfire right outside your doorstep.
I have a cousin who lives in Bronx. He pays that kind of rent, but he makes about FOUR TIMES as much money as a teacher in NC does. Same size place rents for 6000. in San Francisco, but all kinds of tech people make 150K-200K a year there also. Problem here in NC is they pay minimum wage, but then charge rents as if people make good salaries.
I dont see how people sleep comfortable at night knowing they take advantage of others in a hard time. People forget that tables turn and one day they may find themselves in a situation were they wish they had someone to show some sympathy and help.
Tat Bas money rules
So true
@Tat Bas so unfortunately true
It might be because the the landlord needed to raise the rent because property taxes hiked up, or they got furloughed or fired. They might also be taking care of relatives who lost their homes during this crisis and needs the extra income to support them. We also don't know if the teacher is problem tenant. Such as making complaints to neighbors with landlord about small issues. To be honest the best way to get rid of a problem tenant is to raise the rent so either a the tenant pays more making it easier to deal with the tenant or B having the tenant leave voluntarily because they don't want to pay the higher rent
@@megg2826 🤔 interesting..
Apartment owners and landlords are easily among some of the most greedy and inhumane people in the world, not surprised at all that this is happening in such awful times.
You are so right, they could careless about your problems.
lets start killing them..
30% is extreme! Never heard of anything like just
Wesley Lewis: I haven’t heard of a 30% increase either. I thought that it’s because I’m from Canada. It’s obvious from the comments that most people haven’t heard of such an increase. So sad.
it happen to us, we were paying $1300 and now paying $1900
i live i privately owned condo's. thius condo next 2 me had a tennant who had lived their for 10yrs and her landlord kept raising the rent.. finally she moved and he renovated it and raised the rent really high. he had 1 tennant to lease it for 6mos and it has been vacant for almost 2yrs.. this is what greed will get u. if he had kept ole relible in the condo, it would have evened out.. now it's vacant and he's losing lost of money
Just want to share. We’ve been blessed. Because here in the Philippines, when everything closed and people loosing their jobs, a presidential order was released to put a hold on rent payments since everyone is being affected.
$850 for whole house, that’s cheap
K
We pay 750 4 bedroom in Illinois
Not when your salary is little over minimum wage.
$875? I thought those were 2012 prices, especially for the home she was renting.
I know, literally wtf. My rent is $1,350 and I live around crackheads
Agreed! I pay $1275 not including utilities in a 2 bedroom apartment.
Makes more sense to keep a good renter in there. Rents never go down.
She kept that place clean and well maintained. I'd rather keep her there with less rent money than more rent money from people who will treat the place like a dump.
She a very nice women,, I’m glad she found a new place. Thank god!
I think the landlord is happy now because he/she probably wanted somebody else to rent the house and boosting the rent so high enabled the plan.
Don’t blame the landlord. Remember the last school levy you voted for , well , that raised taxes by oh, $900 a year! Remember, renters , when you vote yes for all those Levi’s the rent MUST rise to cover that cost , it’s not free for anyone! Oh yah, insurance went up $400 a year too! Stop voting against yourself! Don’t be stupid , somebody HAS TO PAY FOR THAT AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE THE TENANTS!
Yep
I love how people don't think about the rise in cost to the landlord. Also what if she had signed a long term lease and hadn't had a rent increase in 2 or 3 years? It is a terrible time to have the rent raised on you but it is not like the news wants to cover that aspect. Also whats the market the house is in? It's entirely possible that the increased rent is still low for the area based on growth.
Ugh... these 3 comments.. 😒
I had something similar happen after my husband had open heart surgery. It is terrible when landlords try and take advantage of there tenants. So pleased that she found another place to live.
Be Careful how you treat somebody because what goes around comes around!🤔
The problem is supply and demand, landlords will never have a problem renting out and could careless about their tenants. I wished that woman would know about the USDA Rural Development program for low income, to help her buy a home. It is a government loan with no down payment and based on your income.
Not considered a single mom if you have 3 Grown sons
What??? Teacher's don't deserve this, they need to be paid more!
First of all the landlord can only raise the rent when the lease is up for renewal.
Secondly, the owner of the house has his property taxes, insurance and maintenance go up every year, he has to pass those costs on to the tenant.
Third, no one is forcing her to stay there, move.
Forth, she's a public school teacher, her income was not affected by the coronavirus shutdown.
Fifth, even at $1150, that's a beautiful house and a great deal.
875 is a great deal for that place
Yep
Awesome, deal.
Exactly!
It depends on the location.
JW Skeptic true
Put regulations on these landlords ....period.
So he is a bad landlord because he wants to raise the rent at the end of lease before signing another which is his right. Don't forget people that just because we are in a pandemic doesn't mean that city's country's and states aren't collecting taxes and expecting landlords to pay their bills or mortgages
The law of supply and demand cannot be ignored .....I'm glad she found another place
Our landlord always raises our rent for everyone in the summer... And if they do it again everyone is going to stand up to them.
To raise rent now during these times is selfish!
All landlords are pretty much the same. They’re gonna keep raising the rent sooner or later.
My parents used to be landlords and they never raised the rent.
@@legendaryTMNICO Every year? Not everyone gets a pay raise every year, just greedy of them at the time like this.
rent is already too high in most places why would they want to raise it any higher. the average rent in 2019 was 1216 a month
I’m sad for her she pays 875 a month plus 275 so she would have to pay 1150 and she didn’t have that money Guys let’s pray for her
Now he’s probably gonna get a new tenant who is gonna trash the place and not pay him any rent lol
My landlord wanted me to move into a tuff shed she made into a tiny house. Smaller than where I live...less storage and no kitchen and 200 dollars more.
I said no and now she is telling me I have to move and she doesn't care. My landlord also wanted a 30% increase.
I found out she moves people in and then wants to move in herself. That's so she can get new renters every 90 days and then she moves out and buys another house till she wants to move back in and sell the house she just bought.
Your landlord is shady as hell! Is she from Peru? Because this story sounds familiar lol
She is better off buying a house.
She looks like she is living in a rural town. There is no way I would pay that. I tell the landlord to stick it.
No but she said she's close to the city.
This report is quite 1-sided. Was she paying 800s for a house that the market rent is now $1200s?
Unlike owner occupied houses, rental property values are based on how much they rent for. So if the landlord needs to quickly sell due the tenant losing their job from the COVID-19 pandemic the rent must be at a competitive price so that the landlord can avoid foreclosure themselves.
My sisters landlord is doing the same thing. Raising the rent $500 DURING A PANDEMIC after she lost her job and made little to no money. Karma will come for people like this.
My god here in ny a 1 bedroom is $1,100. She got a dam house. Wtf
1100 for my crappy studio in far rockawsy ny.
Retire14 Pattaya that’s some fucked up shit. I live near West Point all the cadets get like $3,000 for living that’s why our rent is so high bec they know cadets can afford it.
@hanz patinski I am not liberal.
@hanz patinski your jokin right?
@hanz patinski yup and with high unemployment in trailer trash red states. It must be so cheap down there.
people are fools, someone borrows money to buy a house, then he rents it and lets you pay for the loan for life,
Thats not fools .they are smart ,it called investing, renting is not smart , renting is like putting money in the garbage ,buying house renting out it pays for itself
True....but not everyone wants to deal with the upkeep required to own a house. It depends on the individuals mindset
Shaolin Soldier i make more money renting
It used to be renting was the path to economic security but its a pit-hole of upkeep expenses and taxes
Instead I take what I would have had to pay as a homeowner into investments
I have more liquid cash and investments then most people sitting on the idea that property is the gateway to economic freedom
That's great. Again it depends on the individuals mindset. Not everyone wants to deal with tenants or upkeep of the property. If it works for you thats awesome. Depends on your mindset. When renting you can always move....I've lived in 4 state's ..the reason I could move whenever I want is because I didn't own the property. Everyone's circumstances are different. We all have to do what works for us. To some....the money isn't the issue....the freedom to pack up and move wherever I want and never look back is more important than profit.
I'm a small NYC landlord and $275 would be considered bad even here. This landlord must be crazy unless he has a ton of money in the bank. The only time an increase like that would be justifiable is if the tenant wanted to have another person move in as a roommate.
Came into a situation like this when starting to help my mother manage her rental. The real culprit was the taxes more than tripling in about 8 years and my mom was only raising the rent like $10 every other year. When I came on the scene, the rent needed to be raised like $250 pronto just to continue to keep covering expenses, let alone any profit. We really like the tenant, and have been only proceeding with a $50/yr increase until we get the discrepency dealt with. But ultimately the tenant is getting a gift right now. Screw the taxes.
It’s better to buy a home than rent. Save money when you’re in your late teens
Not everyone buys a house. Not your business
@tim walsh I started saving when I was 17. I bought my own home when I was 32. By 56, I would have payed off my entire mortgage.
How horrible how greedy how disgusting !so much for neighbourly love !
Greedy bastard! He won’t get anyone to take care of his home like she did. He will regret this decision. He may get a renter but they probably won’t take care of it.
My landlord just raised my rent, and that of everyone else in the apt. complex where I live, which is also in NC, about 50 miles from where this woman lives. For some reason, landlords have decided NC is some kind of luxury place, which it is not. In fact NC is still a relatively low income area.
Business is Business. She has the right to charge whatever she wants. That said her rental might be empty a long long time.
Whaaaat these landlords are the worst of society
This landlord has shot himself in the foot. Because empty properties don't bring in money.... and most people don't have the money 4 big deposit, I think he should have been responsible, she kept the place clean and paid on time.... his lose 😒
Our land lord in a mobile home court has raised our rent 30. 00 In the last year. He raised it at the beginning of the pandemic and again yesterday, 15.00 last year, 15.00 this month. He increased it only on the ones who own their mobile homes but not on the ones who rent from him both mobile home and land.
I hope his new tenants are the tenants from hell!
9 times out of 10 it happens that way... karma
We need a bill that allows renters to build a percentage of equity while paying the rent in a house ! It’s complete abuse to allow a renter to pay the mortgage on a property while the owner keeps 100% of the equity ! If the renter builds 1% compounded interest in equity for every year she pays the mortgage, this will stop the bullshit!
Then buy and pay a mortgage instead of rent. In order to build equity you’d have to take care of all maintenance, utility, etc. as well. Can’t have the best of both worlds.
Oscar Monroy Also that’s how renting works, you sacrifice equity in exchange for lower payments & lack of risk.
It's called a rent to own agreement. They're out there but there are a lot of pitfalls, so you still have to be very careful.
Well buy property than rent under your circumstance,
Tenants come a dime a dozen, but a good tenant is hard to find. His greed will get the best of him.
If the lease is up, and the district isn't cutting the landlord a break on property taxes, what is he supposed to do? No word of any malicious activity on the landlord's part. It's a private home, not a professional company per se. Nope. I don't understand why the tenant thinks she has a case. *Get mad at the state, not the guy providing a home in the community.*
It should be 875 here. Intstead of a overpopulated big rip off
Or less!
who is the effin landlord ?
Yep, put 'em on blast.
@@charlesscott27 you must be a genius with a comment like that.
People are so greedy and cruel it’s so sickening! Blessings to this lady
That landlord is a greedy person.
Land of the free lol guess what in Canada it’s only allowed 2% max per year
"Single mom three kids" yup life was gonna be tough with the choices you make
Seriously?? You have zero clue how she became a single mom
John Doe Maybe she’s a widow.
In the beginning she said 3 grown sons. That had nothing to do with the landlord raising her rental price.
John Doe It does not matter. A landlord should not be allowed to increase the rent with more than 5 % each year
@@adbc1f72You are right.
This is what my landlord did. After the lockdown was already in place, she RAISED the rent on April 1st.
The fact rent was under $1000 to begin with is impressive. I don't think its unreasonable to ask a little more for a property like that.
NO SYMPATHY. That's a BIG ROOMY HOUSE with yard and everything...rent suppose to be at least $1500. Yep, he WILL FIND someone to rent it....his asking price is ONLY around $1100.... not bad in my opinion... I have seen worse.... BESIDES, SHE'S A TEACHER DON'T THEY HAVE UNIONS AND MAKE DAMN GOOD MONEY?
, WE ALL KNOW WHAT HE WANTS!
He wants the 🐈 😁 😁
Local Mayor made it clear for tenants to report any kind of sexual solicitation from landlords/managers to the Authorities where I live (CA).
Yeah, he wants to get rid of a deadbeat mom who can't afford to pay the rent
Ultimately it's a decision on the Landlord. Factors to consider: If she's a good tenant, if the current rent is above or below market, future plans for that home. If LL raises it too much they risk losing that tenant. If they don't they risk losing that income. Stating the obvious, teacher of the year award is not related to the rent she is paying, or that she's a single mother, or how many kids she has.
I left the rental industry I worked in it for nearly 30 years, its not right how these landlords treat tenants, theres fees for every aspect of a rental its common for half the deposit to kept for cleaning fees they are nothing but crooks, they brought this them selves greed caught up to them
$875 a month for a house is a freaking awesome deal! To all the naysayers claiming the landlord is greedy, are just ignorant! Landlords have bills to pay too!🙄
My sister just got letter also from landlord saying they was raising rent 50 more dollars also a friend of mine got a letter and he lives in a different state was raising his 75 bucks and would charge another 50 for any none working smoke detectors oh and my sister her lease is up so they said if she doesn't sign a new lease it also would be another 50 dollars added to your rent and also all residents most pay for trash removal and she already pays a thousand dollars a month I told her move
@Brian Waller Bingo!
Brian Waller Exactly and that 600.00 is only good for ten weeks.
$875 to rent a house , I’ll take it 😩 I pay 1400 for a 1 bedroom 🤦🏻♀️ The landlord was being selfish though, especially during a pandemic! She was a nice lady too. What a poor decision on his part.
My landlord is doing the same when me and my disabled mother said we couldn't afford it and demanded him to fix the ongoing black mold, the leaks and bad furnace he decided to retaliate and evict us
Not at this time and 30% crazy .
I'm sorry, didn't teacher get paid during the pandemic? My child learned ABSOLUTELY NOTHING from online. Devil's advocate: the rental property is the Landlords job and source of income; he has a right to make money.
Imagine for a minute paying teachers a wage that would allow them to buy a house in the community they serve instead of renting.
Who fault is that if your child didn’t learn anything? Your the parent, you teach them. Kids were supposed to have homework online while staying home. If you let your kid be lazy the whole time then thats your fault. Open up a book and teach your own kid instead of taking this pandemic as a vacation. Make time for your kid to help teach them. Take time off of work to teach your child and be resourceful for your child. Not the teachers fault. Stop blaming the school system for your failure and child’s failure. If your kid isn’t getting the material being taught, purchase books and learning materials so that your kid can get it. There are learning resources out there available .
Teachers are the MOST essential workers of all... when teachers have rent problems then we know how fucked up our country is...teachers should be paid the same as doctors...without teachers, there won't be doctors and any other professionals.......its so sad how little value we put on the teaching profession
Our landlord did this. Our rent was increased from $1200 to $1650. It was absolutely insane... needless to say we went ahead and bought a house.
as a landlord myself 30% is ridiculous, especially now, i do 10% every other year and that works fine for me.
You're still disgusting.
A. Smith it’s an investment, people buy stock and you work like a good little slave for the corporations we buy stocks in. Why do you expect housing to be different, if you don’t pay then someone else will.
Three grown sons??? Where they at?xThey can't wrk
They probably moved out when they got grown...not all folks live with parents forever...
Elijah Edwards what does that have to do with what the landlord did ?
I do not think they are living with her. Based on what I saw in the video, she lives alone. They can do whatever they want if they are adults who are living somewhere else.. She has 2 jobs. She should have the money to rent another home with no issues.
She only said it for sympathy
well I just got my property tax reappraisal in the mail form the county tax collector and it went up over $30,000 in value, which means that my property tax will be going up. I just read where home sales were down and home values were going down because of it. Looks like tax collectors use a better chart.
There should be a way to appeal that decision.
better to have a tenant who CAN pay than an empty unit costing you $$$$$. told that to my landlord and we came to an agreement...guess i'm a lucky one
I'm guessing the landlord votes Dingbongald.
This is only one side of the story. My neighbor had a rent increase because she calls in maintenance calls multiple times per month and is a pain in the butt to the landlord. I am so glad she Is moving. I renewed my lease during the pandemic and didn’t get a rent increase because I never bother them.
I am happy all of you are getting what all of you deserve. I give what I get. Have FUN!
This is a non story. The lease was up the rent was more than was comfortable and she found another place. Am I missing something?!
SOME LANLORDS THEY DON'T HAVE A HEART ITS ALL ABT THE MONEY .
ANDY GIBS some landlord’s have always said you can’t care about one if they can’t care for their property
