I’m a renter. I’m baffled by all of these horror stories and living conditions. I’ve always been told by property managers, maintenance workers, and family that my apartments didn’t look lived in. My logic is that it isn’t mine; I’m just borrowing for a fee. Also, I would’ve just demolished scary house #3. That was horrible.
The best way to verify your goodness as a renter is to live long term in one rental indicating your lease keeps getting renewed because they want to retain you as a tenant, I was in my last place 10 years, only moved because my landlord got divorced and had to sell all his properties
I'm with you on this I left my home turnkey ready when I lost it when the economy tanked in 2008 . I can't believe anyone would leave anyplace like this
The last story about the guy trying to buy a new car while not paying rent reminds me of a co worker and his daughter I let stay with me when they were having a tough time. He never had money for anything except beer and cigarettes. I bought food for them so his little girl could eat. He never even offered to help with anything. One day I came home from work and he had brochures and business cards from a Chevy dealer. He'd written out how he could afford a 40 thousand dollar truck. Things he wouldn't pay for like food or electricity or rent and things he would buy like beer and cigarettes and his online dating membership, and netflix. Peoples brains don't always work well.
Do you know how many mortgagors told me they couldn’t pay their mortgage because they had to make their car payment? My response was always the same! “I hope you like sleeping in your car!”
I would never want to move into a rental property that once had bed bugs You still are not guaranteed that they are totally gone I don't blame you for getting rid of those.
Im glad you said not all people on Section 8 are like that. I have been on section 8 for over a decade.. I pay my rent on time , religiously. I also clean my apt. In my previous apt people thought it was my apt that stunk. It was the lady and her daughter next door, and they had 3 cats, 1 dog and a rabbit. Plus the mother smoked. In a 2 bedroom apt.
I had bed bugs before!!! I moved out of the room for a 6 months, and, when I returned it was a room full of spider webs with bed bug carcasses in them all over the room. The bed bugs were completely gone!!!!!
I rented an apartment once where the management was in a different city. It was difficult. I moved to a one bedroom from a two bedroom in the same area just different building and there were fleas!! It was horrible getting it taken care of. It was back and forth with management and the pest people. Took a month to get taken care of. Had to move out for a few weeks. Hell!!
I’m glad to hear you say that you called child protective services when necessary, I was wondering about that after watching a couple of your videos now.
I don’t know what the hell it is with section8 tenants and their refusal to just turn down the heat. I encounter the same thing.. they set the heat at 85, then when they get hot instead of turning down the heat they just open up very window. And then they get cold and complain that the heats not working🤦♂️🤦♂️ Makes absolutely no sense to me
Not ALL, you mean SOME. IM on Section 8 and I don't do that. I barely have my heat on except when a polar vortex comes through. I live in old WW2 apts where the heat comes down from the ceiling. I keep a little heater on so there is heat on the floor for my cats. My cats are grandfathered in, so they are allowed. And I clean my apt. I pay my rent religiously. I would never trash my apt when leaving. That's disrespectful and just mean. I clean my apts before I hand over the keys. ( I've lived in 4 different apts in the same complex). Over 20 yrs.
I just commented on another of your video about how my neighbors tenants flooded two of his units. Pipes weren't burst, they plugged all the drains and left the water running. We had to do the same thing with replacing the subflooring and floor. There was also a bunch of other damage done.
Nothing crazier than the tire eviction. 😉 if by some miracle you ever run out of material maybe refresh our memories on rentals you've owned and sold. Also commercial properties. Always get a chuckle. Good videos. Interesting.
Only once have I ever left some things behind at a rental, However before I did that I spoke with the Landlord and asked if he could help dispose of it with me ether helping toward cost or paying in full. He was more than happy for that to happen I am happy to say he is still my landlord and has been for the past 8 years :) I now live in one of his other properties. It totally confuses and disgusts me that people can leave properties in such horrid conditions
Section 8 tenants get bad rap that apartment complex’s don’t want to to rent out to them. But you are right that there are good section 8 tenants who takes care of their units.
I remember when my parents owned some rental properties, a man pulled a gun on my dad when he knocked on the door to collect the rent. It became too much to deal with, people lie and constantly skip out on paying rent, leave the place trashed out. One tenant actually pulled the tub out and took it with them. They finally decided it was best to sell.
When I moved out of my first rental, I bought some of the furniture that was in it because my next destination was unfurnished. At first, the office lady said I could "take everything." She QUICKLY corrected herself and specifically said, "NOT EVERYTHING! Not the cabinets and stuff!!" I stopped and said..."someone actually took the cabinets when they left?" She said yes, it had happened, and repeated not to take the cabinets "or anything else that's actually part of the place" a few times. I stuck to the agreement, and just took the tables and chairs that I had mentioned when I made the deal. They seemed relieved at the final walkthrough. I was just blown away. The cabinets in question are built in. Yet at some point, someone must have outright dismantled one of the units and left nothing but the walls.
@@Megatron995 We were having a carport sale and an elderly couple came to see what we had so they could refurbish their rental property, their renters took the hot water heater, toilets, kitchen sink and faucets, bathroom sinks and faucets, interior doors, patio door, kitchen cabinets, shower enclosures, and light fixtures. So yeah, there are thieves out there who will take anything they can pry out of a house.
I'll never understand why tenants have to trash an house/apartment. To me whether my landlord was a jerk or not I'd take care of the place and leave it in good shape. You don't have to live like uncivilized people. And then if they lived there for free! Disgusting. This is the reason landlords are hesitant to rent to low-income people. Section 8 and such. Dirty, filthy tenants give good, clean ones a bad reputation. Then Landlords have to charge high rents and deposits. I've seen really bad tenants tear up a nice unit and it just pisses me off. And squatters shame on you!
You didn't mention the squatters who broke in to the eviction house on the complex. That was scary to me. I remember the dead snake house. It was an amazing redo. And there was one I expected to be on the list that you didn't include. Remember the one where it looked to the cops like maybe somebody was still living in it because all the personal stuff was still there? That one had pictures on the wall and when you took them down the wall was yellow from the nicotine.
Yes, the squatters I didn't count as tenants and the one where the guy may have been there still was the previous owner so I did not include that one either th-cam.com/video/HxYuPmyI91s/w-d-xo.html
I was evicted once from an apartment years ago because I had a tapestry on the ceiling and it covered the emergency sprinkler system nozzle. I always paid on time and I have OCD so I am meticulous about my living area. I had words with the front office about the very poor plowing job they were having done in the parking lot. I think she just always held that against me and sat on it for a couple years until she was able to come up with the reason they stated.
How the heck do people live like that? I used to do eviction clean up along with move outs, and remodels. I’ve seen some awful stuff with kids. I do not get it at all.
Or maybe their victim got lucky... all I saw was where a shoulder and / or head went thru the sheet rock. Domestic violence is terrible. Especially when kids are involved
When I use to rent before buying my home, I would advise the landlord if there was anything going wrong I would call ASAP! When I moved out I also hired a cleaning service to clean out the rental and would do a walk through to ensure everything was clean and not damaged. Also would take before and after photos and send copies to landlord. Got my security deposit back every time.
I've been to many Sec. 8 apartments. I worked for Public Aid in Chicago for 25 years. I also worked for the US Census. Hoarders can be rich or poor. One of the worst places I ever visited was in a wealthy area. Tina, Al's wife
We had some neighbors who moved in, with their gramma, fixed up the house, then within about 5 years their lives visibly fell apart due to drugs, affairs, etc. and the poor kids had to come home from school and sit on the lawn to wait for the mail.
How can you live like that I take out trash 2 or 3 ytimes a day out of my house I sweep I make sure there is no dishes in the sink and make beds. How can you live like that? That’s crazy 😮😮😢
I bought an apartment where the seller had taken off the front door and all the double glazed windows in February before it was repossessed, since they had paid for them. I owned the flat underneath. Fixed it up and rented it out for years before selling it on.
There are these great little things you can buy for winter for the cats they only cost about $35 and they’re plug-in heated cat houses I found out about them after my friends dog died and her cat didn’t want anything to do with the new puppy so she decided she was gonna be an outdoor cat they don’t get that hot but they they do get warm so it’s kind of like a heating pad inside of a insulated house the other thing you can do is get an igloo with some high sided cat beds and then put in some outdoor heated mats that you plug in for the cats as well if you don’t have access to power you can get some heat reflecting mats to put down they won’t help as much as the plug-in stuff but they’re better than nothing. I’m sure if you put up a go fund me or something people be happy to donate to it it really doesn’t cost a lot to help out these animals You can get them spayed and neutered for free there’s a lot of places that have a deuce free spay and neuter for Cara qualities big trap them and then they take up this way neither of them give them a pain shot and then I will bring them back. I would also try to take them into the vet once a year just to you know make sure or if you can depending on how social they are you know make sure they have some kind of flea and tick autumn
Damn, the dead snake house still shakes me. That real estate broker is gotta be blowing through several packs a day. Do you allow smoking in your properties? In NYC, smoking is prohibited because it's densely populated and there are already too many factors for fire. So, next year you can do spookiest murder rooms.
Lol! I can’t believe you rented to the person for the same property that the bank had foreclosed upon! Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. Like suddenly they’re gonna be a better paying renter than they were a paying mortgagor! One of those valuable learning lessons!
On your lease renewal, you should be asking about your renters' work. I have lived in the same apartment for nine years. Each time I am asked about my work. I have changed employers since living here and the property management knows.
I’m in Australia. Rental properties are usually inspected by the agent each quarter. Photos are taken along with an inspection report which is provided to the landlords. That’s not to say things can’t go wrong like what you have shown but it hopefully it is minimised.
@@MultiTurbospeed that seems excessive. Not sure I would like weekly or fortnightly inspections. If inspections are done so often how do properties get trashed or have hoarding problems?
If u are ever going to rent out your properties. Make sure that your responsible for the water & sewage & trash bill. That u control when the water should be shut off & that they don't fill your houses from accumulating months of trash. Renters will skip out on paying the water & sewage bill. That's a fact.
In many, if not all states, if the LL provides water or other utilities, it is illegal to shut them off, whether the tenant paid you or not. Watch "Pacific Heights" movie.
It’s scary how gross and mentally disturbed people can be. And how many of them there are. I work in a retail store and I’m always amazed how fucking disgusting people use the restrooms. What’s wrong w people???
I can’t understand how a house or apt can get so filthy! I mean the worst thing that I’m guilty of is letting my clean laundry sit for a few days before I put it away or not dusting as soon as I see a little dust but I work two jobs and I work seven days a week and sometimes it’s just enough to walk my dog cook my dinner feed him unload and load the dishwasher and throw a little laundry in every night, and then I get to the bigger stuff on my days I get off early in the afternoon
I saw that a while ago that the tenants intentionally did the same thing and when the landlord approached the tenant he laughed. I hope the landlord got his money from insurance then the insurance company will go after them. Trust me insurance companies have their ways to get their money….its like the irs.
As a former owner and at times a renter myself it's your responsibility to "keep the house up" and why don't you have your properties regularly fumigated/sprayed?
I will never understand how folk don't handle their business, like pay rent, and when confronted with the consequences, tend to lash out. What??? Makes no sense. Uh...pay your rent or leave. Easy. 😏 Bed bugs are the worst. It's not just buy a spray and bam, gone. Nope. I'd rather hv roaches than bedbugs given the choice. Boric acid and a little sugar and the roaches are gone until the exterminator comes to finish them off. 😄 I know it's tough to go thru the bad tenants but each one teaches a little something for the next time. 😉👍🏽
WOW there are lazy people who don’t like to clean😡it’s terrible landlords have to clean up after them👿and it’s heart wrenching when they leave their pets behind 🤬👿pure evil I say😡👹
Just a reminder, you can be super clean. And have one visitor can bring bed bugs in on their clothes they’re wearing. And you not know it and next thing you know your infested. It’s a nightmare. Every week I steam clean everything. Beds furniture and carpets.
Cats who have been domesticated cannot survive on their own and usually end up dying from disease, becoming prey, or being hit by cars. There are plenty of no kill shelters out there and is much more of a humane to bring them to a shelter rather than just abandoning them. Plus if the previous owner of the animal did not spay or neuter it contributes to the significant concerns of stray cats in your community
Thank Goodness the Broker did not damage. Wow the heat of 250* didn't kill the bugs... whoa... Nightmare is right.... :/ (The brothers) That is sad ppl will destroy a rental... (Pictures lie!) Making it look not so bad... You're right. 😟 Domestic Violence is awful... SMH.... I was in real estate and property for years... I understand nightmares....
I don’t understand people that destroy something that isn’t theirs!! My parents taught me, to leave any rental I was moving out of, to leave it CLEAN!! People are just disrespectful!! I’m sorry you have to deal with a$$hats like them!
On that dead snake one- How were they allowed to keep the poor animals that they had clearly been neglecting to an abusive degree? That kind of cruelty is quite illegal in all states.
I am the rotten parent who takes abandoned cats and dogs to the pound. I've also taken them to adoptive places and even paid for their shots. But, I don't keep them or abandom them either. I think that's how some dangerous animals were introduced into Florida. People let them go into the wild. Dangerous!
i believe that Mr. Ferguson should change his occupation. Attempting to deal with, and get rid of, nasty tenants and rehabilitating crap properties to only rent them out to MORE crap tenants, is a loser.
Watching this video makes me distrust people much more. It discourages me that if you are charitable and trying to give people a break, they disappoint you by making your lives miserable.
(At the end) "There's a lot of crazy stuff that happens to us, for some reason." But, good thing it's as a landlord, and not more personal. Things might be worse if they weren't landlord stories. Like, Murphy's Law. So, I'm happy for you, that they're landlord stories rather than personal stories. But, yes, lots of crazy stuff. And, I don't get these animal shelters. They tell us to bring them stray or abandoned animals for them to take care of, but then, the shelters are the ones putting down the animals. In so many cases, after only one week of the animal being up for adoption. Like that's enough time to find someone to take the animals in, get the word out that they're even up for adoption, do the paper work, etc. But then, they want to get on us for abandoning animals or letting them be stray. Happy Halloween.

You read my mind. I thought about getting into the rental buis. I thought long n hard & I already have enough on my shoulders Idn more problems!
The best way to verify your goodness as a renter is to live long term in one rental indicating your lease keeps getting renewed because they want to retain you as a tenant, I was in my last place 10 years, only moved because my landlord got divorced and had to sell all his properties
I would wash walls, vacuum, and do a clean sweep after my two leases. I’m amazed how disrespectful people are. I wanted my deposit back!
I always left my rentals better than when I moved in them.
I can't believe all the personal stuff they leave behind!
I know

Question: are landlords allow to enter a property for inspections? Especially, for things like mysterious high water bills?
It depends on the state. In my state most places, you are responsible for the utilities and trash.
Why? Just why? I get that money is tight, but why trash someone elses home who worked hard to buy it. They did nothing to you!
yup
What are some books you recommend on being a landlord? For example: books that give you the steps on eviction process etc.
build a rental property empire. THe tricky thing with evictions is they are different in each state.
* a law library
My grandmother was always mystified how tenants managed to put holes in walls. What exactly do tenants do to put holes in walls?
Sheesh . That was some crazy stories ! Yeah I would never inherit a tenant. I put them all through the process .
Yup! TO get the best deals sometimes you have to inherit tenants.

I hope that renter had to pay for flooding that place.

Nevermind heard you say Colorado.
I’m in Australia. Rental properties are usually inspected by the agent each quarter. Photos are taken along with an inspection report which is provided to the landlords. That’s not to say things can’t go wrong like what you have shown but it hopefully it is minimised.
Everything needs to be inspected weekly or at least every two weeks
@@MultiTurbospeed that seems excessive. Not sure I would like weekly or fortnightly inspections. If inspections are done so often how do properties get trashed or have hoarding problems?
If u are ever going to rent out your properties. Make sure that your responsible for the water & sewage & trash bill. That u control when the water should be shut off & that they don't fill your houses from accumulating months of trash. Renters will skip out on paying the water & sewage bill. That's a fact.
In many, if not all states, if the LL provides water or other utilities, it is illegal to shut them off, whether the tenant paid you or not. Watch "Pacific Heights" movie.
Do you not check on your units and do a inspection on them periodically.
This just blows my mind 🤯
If you would of sold those tires & the rims, you could made enough to fix the damages & expense to make it nice again.
True but I don't have a tire shop to sell then from
Thanks for showing the good sorry About the bad
It’s scary how gross and mentally disturbed people can be. And how many of them there are. I work in a retail store and I’m always amazed how fucking disgusting people use the restrooms. What’s wrong w people???
yup, we see it in the laundromats too
I can’t understand how a house or apt can get so filthy! I mean the worst thing that I’m guilty of is letting my clean laundry sit for a few days before I put it away or not dusting as soon as I see a little dust but I work two jobs and I work seven days a week and sometimes it’s just enough to walk my dog cook my dinner feed him unload and load the dishwasher and throw a little laundry in every night, and then I get to the bigger stuff on my days I get off early in the afternoon
It is crazy!
I saw that a while ago that the tenants intentionally did the same thing and when the landlord approached the tenant he laughed. I hope the landlord got his money from insurance then the insurance company will go after them. Trust me insurance companies have their ways to get their money….its like the irs.
true
I'd like to solve the puzzle, Pat.
Was the 2nd renter even a realestate agent?
It amazes me how people will destroy the roof over their own heads. 🤪🤑🥴
Can you sue people that destroy your property…..like the people did at the first house…..or recoup anything from renters insurance.
Was that a black and white Guinea pig on the floor I see abandoned 😳😭
Did you file an ethics complaint with real estate board against real-estate agent?
Missed opportunity to name the video 10 scariest tenants ever haha 😄
I can rename it still
As a former owner and at times a renter myself it's your responsibility to "keep the house up" and why don't you have your properties regularly fumigated/sprayed?
I will never understand how folk don't handle their business, like pay rent, and when confronted with the consequences, tend to lash out. What??? Makes no sense. Uh...pay your rent or leave. Easy. 😏
Bed bugs are the worst. It's not just buy a spray and bam, gone. Nope. I'd rather hv roaches than bedbugs given the choice. Boric acid and a little sugar and the roaches are gone until the exterminator comes to finish them off. 😄
I know it's tough to go thru the bad tenants but each one teaches a little something for the next time. 😉👍🏽
So true!
It's frustrating not to be able to pay the rent, and frustration is the twin sister of anger.
@@Megatron995 why can't you pay the rent?
I would start to evict immediately when I didn't receive rent check, instead of waiting to see if they will pay rent.
Now a video on your best 10 tenants.
THat would be really boring
@@investfourmore the tenants that left house/apartment pristine or bought the house from you.
Unbelievable how can people live like this?
WOW there are lazy people who don’t like to clean😡it’s terrible landlords have to clean up after them👿and it’s heart wrenching when they leave their pets behind 🤬👿pure evil I say😡👹
he had washington mutual or bear sterns he said he waa waiting
Just a reminder, you can be super clean. And have one visitor can bring bed bugs in on their clothes they’re wearing. And you not know it and next thing you know your infested. It’s a nightmare. Every week I steam clean everything. Beds furniture and carpets.
Cats who have been domesticated cannot survive on their own and usually end up dying from disease, becoming prey, or being hit by cars. There are plenty of no kill shelters out there and is much more of a humane to bring them to a shelter rather than just abandoning them. Plus if the previous owner of the animal did not spay or neuter it contributes to the significant concerns of stray cats in your community
Wow… just wow mark lmfao
Thank Goodness the Broker did not damage. Wow the heat of 250* didn't kill the bugs... whoa...
Nightmare is right.... :/ (The brothers) That is sad ppl will destroy a rental... (Pictures lie!) Making it look not so bad... You're right.
😟 Domestic Violence is awful...
SMH.... I was in real estate and property for years... I understand nightmares....
Dude,
Some of those places are dumps already.
many were inherited tenants and we just bough them
I have a question about the real estate agent that you trusted enough to not do a credit check.....was this man of the caucasian persuasion?
That second place was cool ASF can I rent it
I don’t understand people that destroy something that isn’t theirs!! My parents taught me, to leave any rental I was moving out of, to leave it CLEAN!! People are just disrespectful!! I’m sorry you have to deal with a$$hats like them!
It gets tiring 'wiping the tenant's backsides'.
Landlords are not Social Services and certainly not for a 5% investment return.
On that dead snake one- How were they allowed to keep the poor animals that they had clearly been neglecting to an abusive degree? That kind of cruelty is quite illegal in all states.
For the people that don't pay they quickly leave and likely in another state or completely in another country
I am the rotten parent who takes abandoned cats and dogs to the pound. I've also taken them to adoptive places and even paid for their shots. But, I don't keep them or abandom them either. I think that's how some dangerous animals were introduced into Florida. People let them go into the wild. Dangerous!
Well if it is dangerous then I understand.
i believe that Mr. Ferguson should change his occupation. Attempting to deal with, and get rid of, nasty tenants and rehabilitating crap properties to only rent them out to MORE crap tenants, is a loser.
Watching this video makes me distrust people much more. It discourages me that if you are charitable and trying to give people a break, they disappoint you by making your lives miserable.
A lot of those tires look still very much usable, you could probably have sold them as a wholesale lot to someone who runs a flea market stand.
Mark had said he sold tires to a dairy !
(At the end) "There's a lot of crazy stuff that happens to us, for some reason." But, good thing it's as a landlord, and not more personal. Things might be worse if they weren't landlord stories. Like, Murphy's Law. So, I'm happy for you, that they're landlord stories rather than personal stories. But, yes, lots of crazy stuff.
And, I don't get these animal shelters. They tell us to bring them stray or abandoned animals for them to take care of, but then, the shelters are the ones putting down the animals. In so many cases, after only one week of the animal being up for adoption. Like that's enough time to find someone to take the animals in, get the word out that they're even up for adoption, do the paper work, etc. But then, they want to get on us for abandoning animals or letting them be stray.
Happy Halloween.
Exactly on the animals, THey give almost no time for even an owner to find them. It is crazy.
wow it is a lot different over here. hardly any animals are killed, some live in shelters for years before they get adopted.
There’s still roaches crawling all over that door… that was supposedly treated. I bet the bedbugs are still there too.
I’d say , right come pay and we would not file. If he comes to pay back rent then go ahead and file on him.
Those Section 8 tenants should lose their voucher or whatever it's called permanently.
They obviously didn't deserve it to begin with.
Section 8 usually doesn’t care. They try to get me to replace carpet for people that never clean or vacuum it. They will move them somewhere else
