LOL, 90% of commenters have NO IDEA how to get someone to WANT to do something for them (BEST CASE). These squatters could’ve easily been won over to the point that they at least wouldn’t behave spitefully. Be strategic, friends!
BINGO -- Wow, this comment hits the nail on the head. There's so much excitement in the comments over: 'Should have screened better', 'shouldn't apologize', 'should have had a better lease': They all miss the point. This discussion is an opportunity to negotiate with people who have the upper hand (tenants who are in possession). A solid outcome in this situation could mean less damage at move out and possibly a negotiated cash-for-keys agreement. Using negotiation tactics, strategic apologies (compare: "I'm so sorry we've had a bad experience in this discussion (correct; strategic)" with "I'm so sorry I didn't fix your mold (wrong, legal problem)", and "verbal judo," you can make a lot of money and minimize your pain.
Totally agree. On the spot I know I wouldn't have been perfect either, but the whole time I was thinking he needed to say "hey man, I know the ship has sailed on fixing this but I would like your story and record of events on what went wrong and what my team should have done. That way I can change or fix my team and maybe you can atleast get some closure in knowing that they're being dealt with." Hindsight is 20/20, so ofcourse I probably would have said it less perfectly, but that's the message I would have went for. Always use the phrase 'my team' even if you're a one man show. While technically true, it also allows the tenant to air their grievances without being mad at you directly. This way you can still have a productive conversation and the client/tenant feels like they're making a difference. Ultimately finish the conversation by saying that it IS also your fault for not thinking your team needed more oversight and that is going to be different from then on. That being said, this whole strategy only works if you're actually empathetic. If you have no empathy anything you say will be totally transparent and you should probably just be a slumlord till you get sued and lose everything.
@Сперти за правду the goal isn't to get them to pay. The goal is to get them out asap with as little damage as possible. Calling them what they are might make you feel good at night, but it might also make them stick a rag in the sink and leave it on when they leave. Finding some common ground with a tenant can prevent a cleanup job from becoming a demo job.
Сперти за правду The point is that there’s zero ROI to being “right” and it takes little to no additional effort or time to become the “benevolent landlord” (except possibly a hit to your ego). Actually, as we see here, there’s negative ROI to treating these people the way they “deserve”. If winning them over wasn’t the goal, meeting them in person is a poor use of time and exposes one to the risk that the talk goes like this.
On December 27 my wife passed away , last two years we began having problems w/ rent My landlord being a kind woman allowed us to stay, as of December we were $6,000 behind , after my wife passed, I painted all inside, fixed any dents on drywall, re do landscaping, poured some concrete, and as of yesterday im caught up with rent, i dont know why im sharing this, I guess im just so grateful for this lady that helped my family when we needed it the most.
You should never personally confront a tenant that is being evicted, ever; that is a great way to end up dead. The time for negotiations is before the eviction process starts. Once eviction has started negotiations are off the table. At that point just get the tenants out and do a better job at screening their replacements.
Correct, once you get the court involved your out, until you hear from a marshal. The time to talk them out of the property is before a notice to quit is filed.
I've been in the landlord business for 12 years and been through three evictions. My advice; -The day after rent is due - everything is done through certified mail and/or lawyer. Confrontations is useless. Documentation is golden.
Why not offer their deposit back if they move out in 3 days, sign a termination letter, and don't trash the place? Saves lawyer costs and if the place is in crappy shape you can just put a stipulation in contract about not paying the full amount if damages. Seems like a much easier way out and druggies want money, so it seems like a win.
Can you help me start my landlord business Matt? Kevin wants me to sign up for seminars and pay 150 per month. I can pay you I need mentor I live in Tracy CA
@Rackn Stacker it has worked. I watched 4 tenants leave like this. You hold something of value, the deposit so you have an upper hand. The deposit is worthwhile to them so they can get another place. Even a con artist would love a free months rent and their deposit back.
@Rackn Stacker So the alternative is 4 separate eviction cases, 4x legal fees. You lose at least 1x month for the month they are late in, hopefully out before end of the month, if not then 2x months rent. If they decide to damage the property on the way out (as crackheads do), then that is more expense. It sounds stupid to give them back their deposit, but depending on the situation you may come out higher. I would only do this for the vindictive types.
If you've never rented a property then you wouldn't understand that a lot of these problems only showup _after_ you move-in... (though admittedly, excluding the lack of a yard or driveway.)
Speaking as an experienced landlord, The odds of this landlord, had he offered to immediately fix their claimed issues, and fixed it on site right there on the spot... and then actually being presented with $3000 in back and current rent are exactly, and precisely, ..... zero.

Maybe it's hard to find a good place for a reasonable price when you and your girl friend both have unlawful detainers on your record. I think I would rather pay $4000 than have an unlawful detainer on my record. The last thing a renter should do is antagonize a person that has the ability to garnish his wages.
@@DeanCF1 The landlord mentioned that going to court would cost him $200 earlier in the conversation. Full footage is here th-cam.com/video/hJRcPv88omI/w-d-xo.html
Did we forget that this landlord is a supposed Millionaire? I don't see why he would care about a measley $200. Going to court would only be a waste of time unless there is a big enough payout or if it were the only way to have the tenant removed, which then it would be worth it.
@@synewparadigm He's lucky it was only 6k. They could have left the stove on and burnt the whole inside of the house to the studs. Then they could have chucked it up as a "accident"

There is no negotiations with this type of tenant.

I once evicted a non-paying tenant and they destroyed my house. I sent my own money to a property management company and I had almost a decade of pure luck, with not a single problem and not a single missed payment. I would never deal with tenants myself again. Using a property management company have saved me many headaches and a lot of money.
Yeah provided you get a good one, and the area supports tenants that are good. If you buy super cheap houses in the hood I don't care who you hire - you're not going to attract quality tenants. Or you could end up with a crappy prop management company that doesn't handle things, and then you get blindsided when tenants are breaking leases and your properties end up run down because basic maintenance was "deferred".
I was a renter for many years due to frequent job transfers. I always knew I would be somewhere for 12 months. During that 12 months I made the place my home. Fixed little things, treated it like my own place. I always left a property in better condition than I found it and I always got 100% of my deposits back and a great referral. A lot of people are just plain trash.
Ive rented most my life, too. Had several bad experiences. My last apartment in Louisville had one bathroom that rained from the bathroom above it for 9 of my 13 month lease. I had to go to the company that owned it to get it fixed. I had two children, one with special needs. Another one of our 'luxury' apts had rats in the vents. We have been home owners for 4 years now and will never look back. But i still wonder ab what poor soul inhabits that unit. Your name is really pretty btw.
Must be nice. I’ve never missed a single rent payment and have worked as a handyman for a good portion of my adult life and I have never had a single landlord worth a damn. Every. Single. Deposit was pulling teeth to get back, my last apartment was terrible and I was breathing in carbon monoxide from a gas leak and the landlord never did a damn thing. I called and he never returned my calls, but he’d always get in touch when he wanted his rent. I rented a house with an electric current going through the water and a roommate and I were getting shocked in the shower. Landlord said it wasn’t a big deal, I threatened to sue his ass and file a police report and all of a sudden he cared. He gave me money off my rent to plant bushes and then tried to tell me I had to water them every other day for him. All of these landlords were baby boomers, all of them inherited what they had and none of them had any brains left after abusing drugs in the glory days. I wish being a good tenant mattered in my world, at this point I have money saved for a piece of property of my own and I’d rather live in a tent before I ever rent somebody’s trash house or apartment again.
i still do this though landlords today won't do routine repair and or lawn care including cleaning up leafs, twigs, sticks, limbs or debris from blowing garbage all over the place! Younger. owners buy to make money ~period instead of putting investment into the lands and grounds.
I agree with you. I certainly like to give people the benefit of the doubt, but it seems to me that these tenants would be willing to use any reason/ excuse to stop paying rent. Unfortunately, when you deal with people with very limited income they sometimes resort to some unscrupulous tactics to hold onto a few dollars. Its all just survival to them. The ethics of fairness and honesty take a back seat to survival. I have known and dealt with people in this position before and it always occurred to me that if they were in a better place financially, they would probably do the right thing and honor the agreement that they entered into with the landlord. I think most people want to think of themselves and want others to see them as honest and trustworthy. Operating in this survival mode becomes a lifestyle for some people, so as a landlord you need to become expert at identifying these type of people and avoiding them or preparing yourself for the inevitable hardships that dealing with them will most assuredly bring.
@@a00141799 Some people could be given a million dollars and in a week spend it all on gambling, and be back to where they started. Some people are just like that.
I owned rentals in Detroit years ago and this is the crap I wound have to deal with. I sold out and took the money and ran for my life. I'm so much happier now that I don't have to deal with that anymore. Thank you God.
Me too, with rentals in Albany NY. It astounded me that destructive non paying tenants could talk to me straight faced and tell me how they were the victims in the situation. And then when they were finally leaving doing even more damage on their way out. It changed my view of humanity. I took a loss and felt it was the best financial decision I had ever made.
I don’t agree with Kevin proposing all that “I’m sorry” bs. With tenants like these that would be taken as admission of guilt and would lead you into a grueling rabbit hole of appeals and compensation claims
I completely agree. They'd think they have the power in the situation and wouldn't even try to sit back down with you after that point either. They'll simply use that to their advantage and make you look like you were in the wrong even if you weren't.
I would argue that one should just use the courts and avoid all the small talk. if enough people that "look like that" end up homeless... the government will end up giving away property for free or for cheap...thats bad for people like landlords.
This is why I require renter's insurance on my properties. Most tenants will blame you for accidental damages to their property and don't realize that your insurance does not cover their items in case of accidents. So you protect yourself in these events because if they have renter's insurance you can ask them to file a claim with their renter's insurance and don't have to deal with angry tenants who are out $1k+. I always educate the tenants about why I require it because most of them will protest and say that they think insurance is a scam and don't want to pay $10-$15 a month for it (it's how much it costs in my area but in some areas I have seen it go for $20-$50 a month).
@@Hugo350R how smart is he the tenant I mean he's the one that got evicted and had to move the property owner counts up the 11 months or eight months or whatever it was they collected the clean up their trash and they go on.
Tenants are how landlords are able to live. "Professional tenants", as if people who rent are automatically lower class. Humble yourself. Not everyone can be a home owner. These people were terrible. But you of all people should know how stereotyping affects people. Don't do it.
Professional tenant is a term that is literally used to refer to people that move from place to place and dont pay rent. I am a landlord, I have good tenants and bad tenants. And YES, literally anyone can buy a house if they save up and select a market thay works for them. You may not be able to love in New York or LA, but this whole not everyone can buy a house thing is nonsense. Sure people sacrifice things to pursue careers or live in areas where buying a house is harder or near to impossible. But it doesnt mean they cant afford a house in another area.
Also, landlords often have second jobs and invest to get out of their low class situation. Not every landlord is a millionaire, and more often than not the ones that aren't get taken advantage of more because they cant start out with the cash float to actually make their units nice or renovate them to keep people like this from renting them. I have had amazing tenants, I wish them all the best in the world, when someone enters into an agreement they cant meet because they're too busy to buy drugs I dont give a fuck if they become homeless
@@haileybrown5056 I think she meant, "professional tenants" as people who play the system and abuse the laws that are meant to protect tenants. As a landlord, you can't NOT pay your mortgage because the bank or seller isn't responsive to your every command. Not a great analogy, but its the entitlement of feeling that the rent is only due if your every wish is granted. A missing storm window is a weak demand.
@@alexanderbarber4997 id rather be wealthy than a POS like these tenants. There is no excuse to be a scumbag like this when you are able bodied. Fucking crackhead losers make me sick.
On the “Say Sorry” - Some are misunderstanding the difference between negotiation and “admissions of guilt.” First, too many are so ego-driven these days they’ll never be able to win a negotiation without a lawsuit. Avoiding the lawsuit is key. I recommend using “I’m sorry” as a tool. Such as, “I’m sorry you had a bad experience.” It’s a negotiation tactic. I’m NOT saying, say “: “I’m sorry I didn’t fix X.” This is an advanced topic and goes to show why so many can’t figure out how to make money in real estate. Their egos are too big and their imaginary fears of a lawsuit are wrong - use “I’m sorry” correctly and you could transform your life and your wealth.
Meet Kevin totally agree. It’s hard to say things that hurt your pride even though they are the things that will bring you the most benefit and income!
Also, regarding some people using the car accident: “I’m sorry” analogy: context is very important. Example: “I’m sorry I didn’t hear about the hailstorm, yikes - what happened?” Sincere, not an admission.” Vs Just crashes car. First interaction with accident victim: “I’m so sorry!!” Context folks
I don’t know about that. People realize when you have an agenda and are placating them. Above guy is a perfect example. Highly unintelligent and reckless and wanting confrontation and easily picked up on Chandlers game plan.

These people definitely are drug users. When you're on drugs you have zero shame or self awareness. I know only because I had to cut friendships with close friends who got into drugs. Constantly acting like they are big shots, acting childish in public, always asking for money and never paying it back, blaming their mistakes and problems on others and never taking responsibility, and always losing their jobs and homes because they can't behave and pay their bills. The woman in this video is on drugs too but likely less addictive drugs because it seems to me like she is trying her best but her husband is dragging her down and he is definitely on strong drugs.

TheGladeUp If he admits to not performing necessary repairs he could be in violation of the law. If this guy didn’t point that out I wouldn’t consider his course.
TheGladeUp Yah what law says “sorry” is admitting guilt? Did you learn this from your homeless roommate in your cardboard box next to the railroad tracks ?
Not totally legal in practice. You can't pass on someone based on their appearance. Potential tenants can file discrimination suits for that sort of thing. Easier to disqualify them through an applicant-paid background check, employment verification, etc... People need to stop finding tenants on Craigs List that are avoiding any background scrutiny.
DK Bullock of course you don’t want them to file discrimination suits but you can find pretty much any reason to disqualify them. Especially if the owner is doing SFHs, he could have a requirement that the credit score be 600 to live there if the tenant he doesn’t want is at 580. I’ve never rejected a tenant based on race or gender or age or sexual orientation but you can get a gut feeling on if the tenant is going to cause problems when you show them the property.
wagner1va There are plenty of excellent renters who are both black and have solid cash flow/income. There are objective ways to determine whether one is qualified - a full and clean credit report and a background check report empty of criminal activity are reliable indicators.

So is he the dumb one for putting himself in a position like this? Sure is. He didnt deny that window issue causing 3k damage he just stayed silent which is equivalent to agreeing. So treat your tenants right and you may have a better outcome at least you could win the argument. And the place being trashed could, just cpuld be due to the poor treatment the tenants accused the owner of.
SmokieSmoke sorry about the confusion. I meant to say that I would not rent to them. They just give off a bad vibe like they would not pay. Just how they carry themselves and by the way they talk. Do you know what I mean? Life is too short and I am not about to b3 going back and forth getting tenants out and trashing my property. The pictures speak volumes.
Sometimes yes, you need to walk away only IF the tenant "keeps" talking over you and will not let you put a period after each sentence. When there is disrespect and raised voices. These types of individuals will NEVER hear you, work with you etc... Their main goal is to be right, and you are just wrong. I just end up giving them a 30 day to vacate. Then if their rent was not paid out of spite, i go to the magistrate court and file an eviction. One for non payment of rent the other for ending lease. Here in SC we, as the landlord can end their lease as long as tenant was served a 30 day via certified mail etc...
Screw all this. Just evict them and sue them for the past due rent they owe you. Who needs to play mister nice guy to this point? The landlord is being nice to his own detriment.
When I was 19 I rented my first place. The home was broken into and the thieves broke the back window and door. Obviously a shady neighborhood. One of my brilliant friends told me not to pay rent until it was fixed. At 19 I thought I was soooo smart and refused my obligations. Two months later I was evicted and left feeling like a scumbag. Difference here is I was smart enough to learn from my mistakes. These “adults” need to grow up and make better choices!
@Kirk Atamian I was thinking of renting out my condo because I'd like to move closer to my girlfriend. Would you suggest getting a management company to handle it all? The HOA i have now also runs management services.

You can just evict, but they're likely to retaliate. At least letting them vent frustrations and try to win their favor if possible may help you when they do get evicted.

Plenty of landlords are stupid and don't take care of their properties. If it was their water heater that was broken, they wouldn't wait a week to fix it.

Sometimes, the Owner thinks they checked someone out, and is putting a kind person with a nice credit score into their home, but instead that person is having someone else live there for them. I doubt that happened here, but my next door neighbor passed away. Left the house to daughter in law who is a real estate agent. They fixed the place up, and after a year of it being vacant, they rented it out at $1,500 a month for a old, but remodeled 2 bedroom in group townhome. They told us they got us a real nice neighbor. A lady in her 60s who will be living there alone. The lady was only there on moving in day, and a couple of times after that the first month. She got the place for her 25 year old weed smoking grand son son who has no job. She might be paying the rent, but he lives there. Does nothing but smoke weed all day. His dogs have ruined the yard. Our house has marijuana smoke coming through the walls. He has a binge smoking party like once every 6 weeks where his friends come over and smoke like crazy. We had to call the county to send an inspector out in order to make him clean up the dog crap in his yard and they sent a contractor out to cut his 2 foot high grass and weeds. We complained to the landlord 4 times. ZERO response from her...I guess all she cares about is that the rent is getting paid. As long as this lazy wed addicted bone head has a grandma that will pay his rent for him, he will be living there.
@@djrickyb the owner can take grandma to court for falsifying her lease. Grandma is suppose to be living there, not her grandson. If I were the neighbors, I would complain to the authorities weekly. Especially when they are partying. Is it not illegal there to be smoking pot? Be relentless until something is done.
@@djrickyb That happened to me once where a mother used her barely 19 year old daughter as pawn to apply for my in-laws rental (I was filling the vacancy). That woman moved in her other younger daughters and boyfriend. Both with criminal, drugs and eviction record a mile long. What a shocker! I rolled my sleves up and went to work with notices, request to inspect, gathering information I needed from this woman to perform background on her and boyfriend, though she flatly denied living there. I served a 3 day notice to vacate in the daughters name. Maybe the only responsible thing that mother ever did for her daughter was moving out to prevent marring her daughters record. I hesitated at first to put the eviction notice in the daughters name and put it in the mothers name but she wasn't the "tenant" and most likely would not have moved out before I would have filed. Crazy shit out there and difficult to avoid those situations.
Yeah, the landlord denies them housing, he would get dragged into court for being racist. Back in the 70s and 80s, Banks were the only ones with a crediting system and it was subjective, based on how much you earned, what you owned, but also based on race and gender. Financial institutions and credit card companies got nailed against the wall for it... Laws were changed. then it came to a point where you had to have a certain percentage of minority borrowers and tenants - affirmative action has been embedded in our regulations laws and quotas everywhere. The Trumps, among others, got nailed for following that same vetting system chase, Bank of America we're using. I might have missed it - somebody suggested the lease was actually in the guy's grandmother's name. We don't know whose name is on the lease, or who's a co-signer. This is more complicated - this real estate narrator is leaving important factors out. It's extremely tough to know who you have coming in, because the vetting process is so regulated lanfkords can't turn anyone down... can't ask about their personal life. It sounds like this guy has over 20 units - he hires a property management company who's supposed to be doing this. so it's a little too late for this situation, but he needs to find another property management company. but there's something else this guy's leaving out - One of the unsaid rules, the reason why landlords aren calling cops all the time to handle these situations - is because local towns put a cap or limit on how many times local law enforcement has to show up at their rental units. They get fined by the local municipality if the cops have to show up all the time - especially out of state or absentee landlords. Locals don't like rentals, they push down property values in home - owner neighborhoods. And once you have rentals in your neighborhood under a certain price - that invites subsidized, government and low income housing people. Cops being called to these types of units for any reason, drives "crime rates" up, property taxes and insurance rates go up with it.. and that drives housing costs up even further. Locals who are not subsidized get screwed - everything they pay goes up, rentals and low income don't pay much in taxes, if any. He's out of State corporations on subsidized housing units - so the profits are leaving the state, and while the problems creating revenue for the landlord, live in your town It causes everything to go up, working stiffs can't afford housing, they have to go to the government for subsidized or help. Working lower economic people have far less credit value than people on government programs have better credit ratings cuz their income is consistent. So it creates a cycle of poverty Which creates a bigger demand for low-income housing - probably like situation in this video. so that's why you see landlords trying to do this negotiation instead of calling the cops. I started off working in law offices as a teen in the late seventies - housing wasn't as difficult cuz it wasn't that tough to evict tenants. - one of the first Court motions I typed up (using carbon paper) was an eviction on a woman with a cat. It made me sad. Then things changed when the Liberals took over the legal system in the 80s - '90s... The rights swung over to the tenants, not landlords. lawyers can sue deeper pockets in landlords, a tenant being evicted has no pocket... The legal system always put the bigger purse in the crosshairs. many states, when children are involved it's nearly impossible to evict in less than 6 months Also in the late 80s, code enforcement got silly, like in California, driving up the cost of housing. Probably because we started importing substandard building materials from China. There became a lot less rentals available because landlords don't want the liability. More than half the time, in a down economy - landlords are better off just having an empty building. It's a tax write-off... Not worth the hassle renting out housing units. Corporations started taking over retirement communities & subsidized housing. It's designed for lawyers to make profit, and excuse to take taxpayer money... There's a certain entity that wants all of us in Socialist State/Corporate - owned housing.
These ppl will never pay rent. That’s their plan. This has nothing to do with repair or not . Plus a lot of states doesn’t allow withholding rent technically
It's Idaho so it's not as dangerous as it probably is in your state. Always assume that the person that you're talking to is armed because most people around here conceal carry. I would not be surprised if either Chandler or his cameraman were strapped as well. It may sound weird but in Idaho most people behave or get shot.
These tenants have some balls. After seeing how they lived inside the place I find it hard to believe they’re concerned about minor repairs. I have a feeling that this is what they do on regular basis anywhere they live.
Well they're moronic enough to not leave the property on time so now they have an eviction on their record. I hope that every landlord is doing due diligence and checking their credit and background so that they don't let a person with an eviction record rent from them.
@@Sulfen I’m personally going through this now. I’ve had none paying renters in my house since the lockdown started. Since the governor of the state declared a landlord couldn’t evict a tenant for non payment they decided to capitalize on that for over a year even though their financial situation hadn’t change, in fact, it actually improved with all the stimulus and child tax credits the received. I also found out that they hadn’t paid the sewer or water bill since covid started which also another thing the governor said they didn’t have to pay. So here I aim, stuck with all the bills they hadn’t paid. My first court date for eviction is this morning in fact. The lawsuit for the money is next week. And yes, I did a full background check on the couple years ago before they moved in. I just found out that they were handed a summons for eviction by their previous landlord between the time I did the background check and the time they moved in, so I’d never see the eviction on their record until it was too late. Turns out that this is their MO. Move from one place to another just before eviction so the landlord drops the case. There’s a lot more to it. Sorry for the long winded reply.
… my advice to anyone who think being a landlord is profitable and fun. Not if you have deadbeats in your place. You just may need to be a millionaire to get them the hell out… which I’m not.
@@HomieHelpLine yes I’ve seen the episode and the comment above kind of implied that he wasn’t trying to resolve the issue. He did tape them for content but he did want to resolve it. He didn’t intend to escalate the situation to the degree that it did and that’s why he did not feel comfortable posting it, and let Kevin make a commentary video on it instead, critiquing how he could have gone about it better to resolve the situation.
Plot twist: Property Management and owner hadn’t paid back taxes and tenant bought it at tax auction while the owner was distracted with eviction proceedings. 😆
Now I understand why Kevin places in the lease a requirement for the tenants to carry renter's insurance. That should have covered the renter's property loss due to the hail storm.
Karri The Best Lira trust me I did! Kevin just put in the juicy stuff but this was a 30 minute conversation. I tried everything to get these fetchers out
@@ChandlerDavidSmith Word of advice, don't keep your hands in your pocket while so close to people like that.Try to stay out of his punching distance.Stand slightly to one side with one foot in front of you.Don't stand straight in front of him with your feet and shoulders square to him. One technique is to cross your arms on your chest.That way you can strike with a back fist and get into a defensive guard quickly.Or put one hand under your chin and the other holding that arm up by the elbow.It looks none threatening,but easy to get into a guard position. When your opponent suddenly looks away, looks back at you,that is sometimes a tell that he is going to throw a punch.The way he was holding his hands behind his back is also an indicator that he was thinking about throwing a punch.Stay safe dude
On the other hand, I have seen millionaires NOT pay their rent. I learned that rich people are some of the worst in paying their obligations and loans.
I have always told myself renting is dead, your gona end up with sketchy tennants ruining the place. I would much rather buy a place refurb and sell on :) I do also however much prefer stocks/forex than property :D
@@businesscentral8403 Is thay another bash ? :D im sure someone will come back with something like "I dont need trading I make xyz doing abc" but for those of us who are succesful in trading/investing its well worth it. I dont even need to bother stating I make xxx per month if people wanna see the real trading with the real money then ask but I dont see why people love to bash stock and forex traders.
Zero chance I would ever meet with an "Evicted" tenant, especially right before the physical vacate date. This was a 100% waste of time, i.e. $$$. This video is good specifically on what not to do, ever!!
Exactly. I stay away from the property and go with the bailiff at the set out date. I then lock up the property and stay away for at least a couple weeks so if anything illegal was going on, those people know the house is vacant. After that, I go in and get it ready for new tenants.
Probably was trying to get them to first pay several months that were not paid then evict them, but it was too late for that negotiation. Agreed, he shouldn't even set foot there.
Kuddos to the guy, after doing this he might as well sit and talk with a couple of garbage bags and there wouldn't be much difference rather than the garbage bags wouldn't be talking back
What Bernie Sanders think of poor ppl. There’s actual hard working poor ppl who pay their rent. There’s no damn excuse for not paying rent even if ur poor. Its the same with every mistake any person makes in life.
I know this woman who gets delinquent rent notices every month. There are other places where this woman can live and is based on her income. There are good and bad tenants out in the world. There are good and bad landlords.
It should all be free...we just need to make certain people work...if they don't work we send soldiers to their homes and drag them off into the night. Communism is an excellent system and is the future.
@@DiaJasin My answer is complicated...because in truth you have two structures of power that succeed...bastard capitalism...or bastard communism. Socialism does not work. In a proper, fair, socialist system, the lazy simply don't work....and the economy crumbles. I live today in a socialist country...free whatever...everything...the problem is, there is nothing...so give me free nothing? It's Argentina, just so you know...we have rampant crime, horrible unemployment, and a bueocracy that steals everything not nailed down. Oh, but we have cops...and they come to see you very quickly should you do something...However, In Capitalism, the people are reduced to slavery at the hands of men like Bill Gates, or Zuckerberg, or whatever...they steal everything...under authortarian communism you have a chance. It's a socialist society...but, nothing is free. You have a choice, you participate, or they cut off your balls. I'm thinking thats horrible and brutal. But so what...fuck people...they don't want to do anything but be thieves, so cut off their balls and blacklist their families... And here I will tell you a secret if you care to know it...I personally met Kim Jong ill once, when he was still alive and the president of North Korea...and he told me that he worried a little about me, because he said that Comunism was bullshit, but, I was a passionate true believer...which I am. He said that passionate believers were essentially the problem in the world. You can believe that, or not...but fuck it all the same...communism is the future...and you should probably get a sex thing that guards your balls.
I run a medical clinic, and this is the exact method my mentor told me about dealing with in-office issues. I had a running in with a couple of our employees and instead of meeting fire with fire I met them with understanding and empathy. It worked so well I'm never doing anything else😂
You are the man Kevin! Thanks for the feedback! This was a crazy situation and it was eye opening to me because the damage done to the property was all done by the tenants. Broken windows, destroyed walls and flooring, months without paying rent. It’s really hard to swallow your pride and say you’re sorry when you’re going through an eviction and your not sorry haha but sugar always gets you further than vinegar. Thanks again for the feedback! Here is more background on the interaction if you want to check it out. th-cam.com/video/YgLW3NadwxA/w-d-xo.html
Steve Rapos it was so hard! Ha ha all you want them to do is move out and yet they somehow feel justified in staying in the place they claim is crap when they’ve lived there a couple months for free already.
Selebrity 152 ha ha trust me it was a struggle. Kevin is right though, my goal was to get them out and even I went to far in frustration to where I didn’t get them out. The funny part about this is that they weren’t out on Friday like he said they would be ha ha we had to do the whole eviction.
Wait this was your house? Dude wtf? Why did you let this piece of shit talk to you like that? I would of told him to fuck off, why even the need to talk about anything? Just let him get evicted and blame yourself for renting to someone like this. The levels of disrespect wooooow
You should have asked, "Why would I ever fix this place up while you're in the process of destroying it?" And no driveway or yard space? Then why'd you agree to rent it? No excuse to stop paying. If it's such a POS why you still here homeboy?
That lean-in at the end where you say the tenant is empathizing with him - that's not empathy, that's contempt as proved by his next statement of making him pay the extra $200
Precisely. Actually it is complaining really. Oh woe is me because I have to pay the mortgage. If you dont have money to pay your mortgage as a landlord, you shouldn't own property.
lol it was the typical setup, almost like an adult, verbal version of 'high low - too slow' lol. Starting to think this Kevin guy doesn't know wtf he's talking about
@@BiHPacker he surely does know what he's talking about. Just because it wasn't stated that "the guy then flipped right back and verbally spited the owner", doesn't mean Kevin wasn't thinking that lol. He was surprised because a crack head had the ability to high low too slow.
This stressed me out to the point that I know I don't want to go into property management lol. Props to the land lord for keeping his cool the whole time, and thanks to Kevin for the insight in where he went wrong in the conversation.
Last time I was involved in a confrontation like that, the tenant threatened to kill me and my family. Police were involved, a restraining order was placed. I would never sit down and have a chat with them like that unless the police are present. I also won't go anywhere near a tenant like that without a firearm on my person. At minimum a hidden camera or sound recorder on your person is cheap and easy to do. Sometimes it's just safer to be an asshole from a distance than try to work things out...
@Jake McCoy is right but I am going to add this A camera does nothing to save your ass. A firearm, on the other hand, is very different. People like this do not care about cameras. They do not prevent them from committing a crime. All they do is help prosecute later on - but you still got stabbed. Maybe he did have a concealed weapon we don't know about, but I doubt it...
@Ryan Roberts - totally agree with you i've dealt with a few nightmare tenants myself and have just gone with eviction companies to do the work for me and yes definitely always carry concealed.
wil hallman trust me I did. Kevin cut this part but the guy was trying to sell me on letting him renovate it for me. I was like “dude it didn’t need renovating to be moved in” haha
@@ChandlerDavidSmith I applaud your obvious concern for your willingness to have a sit down with the tenants to find a solution. Also you kept your cool 100%, as far as I could see from Kevin's cut. One really can't ever plan for confrontations like these as there are other factors at play (such as, were the tenants on drugs? their possible theft of electricity, lack of specific documentation to their claim of loss of $2400 of their belongings, lack of information claiming how the window was supposedly broken, etc.) Anyway, you did a great job trying to care for these people who clearly struggle to engage in basic respectful dialogue.
Kevin, it's very easy talking behind a monitor everyone can do that but actually being in that situation it gets real messy for both parties! There's NOWAY you can fix this situation, things have already escalated beyond repair, they were already getting evicted from the property anyway!
She's a junkie and her boyfriend's been playing victim his whole life! He said the hailstorm ruined thirteen hundred dollars worth of property, but I don't think he's ever had that much money in his life...
Hahahaha im not racist but I've been in the restaurant industry for 10 years and 80% of complaints came from african americans who act like the world owes them something..... o my god
@Clout Life yes we do. Did you even watch the video or are you a typical loser liberal who thinks everyone is a special flower. Truth alarm- THEY FUCKING ARENT! Listen to the assholes hostility and excuses, playing the blame game. Hes a thief and druggie. Fact.
@Clout LifeListen to him talk, does he sound like the type of person that takes what he wants because he thinks the world owes him a free ride...The way a person speaks is what people base their opinions on!
Everyone knows he needs to get paid as the landlord but if you don't empathize with the tenant this is unfortunately how many people will react. "Well obviously I have to pay my mortgage" AKA I dont give a shit, you need to pay because you agreed to it...rather than "what can I do to better this situation and come to a resolution that works for both of us". Nothing may come to fruition, but doing what chandler did will almost always result in a similar outcome.
@shlomo kikebherger this is not about black tenants! This is about people who don't pay. That is not about color. There are two tenants with different ethnicities in this video. One black and one white. Both people are scammers. This is not about black or white!
Kevin, your suggestion to say "I'm so sorry, let's talk.." Do you really think that is going to work with these people? These people are out of control and that is why they can't afford $500/mo. Take them to court. Chandler is lucky he didn't get physically harmed.
These people need to be in Jail for a long time. I wish state lawmen pass a law that if you are evicted more than 4 times. It is a felony. Just like DUIs'... I would never f'king rent my house to anybody. Just looking at them make me sick. Disgusting human beings.
You got no idea what I go thru, and putting kids out of their home, tenants trying to fight, breaking stuff on top of what they ruined, breaking back into the home the only reason why i buy houses in the hood is because the low taxes
It went from 1,300 then to 2,000-3,000 worth of lost property. They blame everyone but themselves. I mean, they do not have a driveway. Where they supposed to put their stolen cars???
I would have took one look at this couple and realized they were more than likely bad news. I stopped giving people the benefit of the doubt about 20 years ago
My grandparents owned approx 35 rental property’s. They taught me it’s better to get the next to last reference with prospective tenants because the last landlord may give the prospects a decent review just to get rid of them.
LOL, 90% of commenters have NO IDEA how to get someone to WANT to do something for them (BEST CASE). These squatters could’ve easily been won over to the point that they at least wouldn’t behave spitefully. Be strategic, friends!
BINGO -- Wow, this comment hits the nail on the head. There's so much excitement in the comments over: 'Should have screened better', 'shouldn't apologize', 'should have had a better lease': They all miss the point. This discussion is an opportunity to negotiate with people who have the upper hand (tenants who are in possession). A solid outcome in this situation could mean less damage at move out and possibly a negotiated cash-for-keys agreement. Using negotiation tactics, strategic apologies (compare: "I'm so sorry we've had a bad experience in this discussion (correct; strategic)" with "I'm so sorry I didn't fix your mold (wrong, legal problem)", and "verbal judo," you can make a lot of money and minimize your pain.
Exactly. Entrenching yourself more and more rarely solves the problem, and when it does, it takes more time and money than necessary.
Totally agree. On the spot I know I wouldn't have been perfect either, but the whole time I was thinking he needed to say "hey man, I know the ship has sailed on fixing this but I would like your story and record of events on what went wrong and what my team should have done. That way I can change or fix my team and maybe you can atleast get some closure in knowing that they're being dealt with."
Hindsight is 20/20, so ofcourse I probably would have said it less perfectly, but that's the message I would have went for. Always use the phrase 'my team' even if you're a one man show. While technically true, it also allows the tenant to air their grievances without being mad at you directly. This way you can still have a productive conversation and the client/tenant feels like they're making a difference. Ultimately finish the conversation by saying that it IS also your fault for not thinking your team needed more oversight and that is going to be different from then on. That being said, this whole strategy only works if you're actually empathetic. If you have no empathy anything you say will be totally transparent and you should probably just be a slumlord till you get sued and lose everything.
@Сперти за правду the goal isn't to get them to pay. The goal is to get them out asap with as little damage as possible. Calling them what they are might make you feel good at night, but it might also make them stick a rag in the sink and leave it on when they leave. Finding some common ground with a tenant can prevent a cleanup job from becoming a demo job.
Сперти за правду The point is that there’s zero ROI to being “right” and it takes little to no additional effort or time to become the “benevolent landlord” (except possibly a hit to your ego). Actually, as we see here, there’s negative ROI to treating these people the way they “deserve”.
If winning them over wasn’t the goal, meeting them in person is a poor use of time and exposes one to the risk that the talk goes like this.
On December 27 my wife passed away , last two years we began having problems w/ rent My landlord being a kind woman allowed us to stay, as of December we were $6,000 behind , after my wife passed, I painted all inside, fixed any dents on drywall, re do landscaping, poured some concrete, and as of yesterday im caught up with rent, i dont know why im sharing this, I guess im just so grateful for this lady that helped my family when we needed it the most.
Cool you managed that!
most people punch holes in the walls, spill drink on the carpet and rip out the hand rails. i dont understand why
Some landlords are good but id say 99% only interested in taking the tenants cash
you are the 1%. Most think they are owed something.
Good shit man! Keep it up
You should never personally confront a tenant that is being evicted, ever; that is a great way to end up dead. The time for negotiations is before the eviction process starts. Once eviction has started negotiations are off the table. At that point just get the tenants out and do a better job at screening their replacements.
in4theride75 that’s probably true! I was curious and thought I could talk them out.
You are 100% right, that could have gone very bad very fast.
@@ChandlerDavidSmith Nah not at that point. Props for trying though. Took some pretty big balls.
in4theride75
Yeah because someone else will care more about your property then you do. Let me guess it’s the governments job lol
Correct, once you get the court involved your out, until you hear from a marshal. The time to talk them out of the property is before a notice to quit is filed.
I've been in the landlord business for 12 years and been through three evictions. My advice;
-The day after rent is due - everything is done through certified mail and/or lawyer.
Confrontations is useless. Documentation is golden.
Matt Mischnick great advice! Thanks for watching
Why not offer their deposit back if they move out in 3 days, sign a termination letter, and don't trash the place? Saves lawyer costs and if the place is in crappy shape you can just put a stipulation in contract about not paying the full amount if damages. Seems like a much easier way out and druggies want money, so it seems like a win.
Can you help me start my landlord business Matt? Kevin wants me to sign up for seminars and pay 150 per month. I can pay you I need mentor I live in Tracy CA
@Rackn Stacker it has worked. I watched 4 tenants leave like this. You hold something of value, the deposit so you have an upper hand. The deposit is worthwhile to them so they can get another place. Even a con artist would love a free months rent and their deposit back.
@Rackn Stacker So the alternative is 4 separate eviction cases, 4x legal fees. You lose at least 1x month for the month they are late in, hopefully out before end of the month, if not then 2x months rent. If they decide to damage the property on the way out (as crackheads do), then that is more expense. It sounds stupid to give them back their deposit, but depending on the situation you may come out higher. I would only do this for the vindictive types.
“This house is a piece of shit”... that I chose to sign a lease and live in.
🤣🤣🤣🤣. Ok talking about your place
😖
That couple is trash obviously but regardless you can't always know how bad a property is before signing a lease and thats obvious too.
If you've never rented a property then you wouldn't understand that a lot of these problems only showup _after_ you move-in... (though admittedly, excluding the lack of a yard or driveway.)

Maybe it's hard to find a good place for a reasonable price when you and your girl friend both have unlawful detainers on your record.

There is no negotiations with this type of tenant.

You missed the point entirely apparently. Apologizing is a negotiating tactic. He literally said even if you don’t mean it. It costs you nothing.
@Stephen Ritger An apology is not an admission of guilt
I once evicted a non-paying tenant and they destroyed my house. I sent my own money to a property management company and I had almost a decade of pure luck, with not a single problem and not a single missed payment. I would never deal with tenants myself again. Using a property management company have saved me many headaches and a lot of money.
Yeah provided you get a good one, and the area supports tenants that are good. If you buy super cheap houses in the hood I don't care who you hire - you're not going to attract quality tenants. Or you could end up with a crappy prop management company that doesn't handle things, and then you get blindsided when tenants are breaking leases and your properties end up run down because basic maintenance was "deferred".
@@notsure7874 Excellent point.
You must have stock in a property management company
I was a renter for many years due to frequent job transfers. I always knew I would be somewhere for 12 months. During that 12 months I made the place my home. Fixed little things, treated it like my own place. I always left a property in better condition than I found it and I always got 100% of my deposits back and a great referral. A lot of people are just plain trash.
Ive rented most my life, too. Had several bad experiences. My last apartment in Louisville had one bathroom that rained from the bathroom above it for 9 of my 13 month lease. I had to go to the company that owned it to get it fixed. I had two children, one with special needs. Another one of our 'luxury' apts had rats in the vents. We have been home owners for 4 years now and will never look back. But i still wonder ab what poor soul inhabits that unit.
Your name is really pretty btw.
Must be nice. I’ve never missed a single rent payment and have worked as a handyman for a good portion of my adult life and I have never had a single landlord worth a damn. Every. Single. Deposit was pulling teeth to get back, my last apartment was terrible and I was breathing in carbon monoxide from a gas leak and the landlord never did a damn thing. I called and he never returned my calls, but he’d always get in touch when he wanted his rent. I rented a house with an electric current going through the water and a roommate and I were getting shocked in the shower. Landlord said it wasn’t a big deal, I threatened to sue his ass and file a police report and all of a sudden he cared. He gave me money off my rent to plant bushes and then tried to tell me I had to water them every other day for him. All of these landlords were baby boomers, all of them inherited what they had and none of them had any brains left after abusing drugs in the glory days. I wish being a good tenant mattered in my world, at this point I have money saved for a piece of property of my own and I’d rather live in a tent before I ever rent somebody’s trash house or apartment again.
I do the same 🙏
i still do this though landlords today won't do routine repair and or lawn care including cleaning up leafs, twigs, sticks, limbs or debris from blowing garbage all over the place! Younger. owners buy to make money ~period instead of putting investment into the lands and grounds.

100% agreed

Facts
the tenent was never gonna pay his rent.
Tenent (noun) older spelling of
Tenet
An opinion, belief, or principle that is held as absolute truth by someone or especially an organization.
@Wendy Darling Staying home to protect my wife who had lung surgery.
I agree with you. I certainly like to give people the benefit of the doubt, but it seems to me that these tenants would be willing to use any reason/ excuse to stop paying rent. Unfortunately, when you deal with people with very limited income they sometimes resort to some unscrupulous tactics to hold onto a few dollars. Its all just survival to them. The ethics of fairness and honesty take a back seat to survival. I have known and dealt with people in this position before and it always occurred to me that if they were in a better place financially, they would probably do the right thing and honor the agreement that they entered into with the landlord. I think most people want to think of themselves and want others to see them as honest and trustworthy. Operating in this survival mode becomes a lifestyle for some people, so as a landlord you need to become expert at identifying these type of people and avoiding them or preparing yourself for the inevitable hardships that dealing with them will most assuredly bring.

I owned rentals in Detroit years ago and this is the crap I wound have to deal with. I sold out and took the money and ran for my life. I'm so much happier now that I don't have to deal with that anymore. Thank you God.
Me too, with rentals in Albany NY. It astounded me that destructive non paying tenants could talk to me straight faced and tell me how they were the victims in the situation. And then when they were finally leaving doing even more damage on their way out. It changed my view of humanity. I took a loss and felt it was the best financial decision I had ever made.
I don’t agree with Kevin proposing all that “I’m sorry” bs. With tenants like these that would be taken as admission of guilt and would lead you into a grueling rabbit hole of appeals and compensation claims
I completely agree. They'd think they have the power in the situation and wouldn't even try to sit back down with you after that point either. They'll simply use that to their advantage and make you look like you were in the wrong even if you weren't.
Instead of “I’m sorry”, how about “I hear you and I want to better understand your concerns”.
@@jasonlovett5536 exactly that would've been a lot better.
@Ebony Hayes What is liberal about being compassionate and understanding(at least acting to be) for the sake of better outcome .
It’s 1 day late serve a notice of eviction.
Choose your tenants as if your were hiring an employee to your company!
Moral of the story: Don’t rent to people like this
I would argue that one should just use the courts and avoid all the small talk. if enough people that "look like that" end up homeless... the government will end up giving away property for free or for cheap...thats bad for people like landlords.
Dats racist

What do you mean by “these people”
$1800 worth of “shit” magically multiplied to $3000 in less than 5 minutes
But yeah, it’s not about the money
This is why I require renter's insurance on my properties. Most tenants will blame you for accidental damages to their property and don't realize that your insurance does not cover their items in case of accidents. So you protect yourself in these events because if they have renter's insurance you can ask them to file a claim with their renter's insurance and don't have to deal with angry tenants who are out $1k+. I always educate the tenants about why I require it because most of them will protest and say that they think insurance is a scam and don't want to pay $10-$15 a month for it (it's how much it costs in my area but in some areas I have seen it go for $20-$50 a month).

Professional tenants.. no paying, playing victim, drugs, etc
Tenants are how landlords are able to live. "Professional tenants", as if people who rent are automatically lower class. Humble yourself. Not everyone can be a home owner. These people were terrible. But you of all people should know how stereotyping affects people. Don't do it.
@@haileybrown5056 Good tenants are how landlords are able to live, bad ones like these is how landlords get killed.
Professional tenant is a term that is literally used to refer to people that move from place to place and dont pay rent. I am a landlord, I have good tenants and bad tenants. And YES, literally anyone can buy a house if they save up and select a market thay works for them. You may not be able to love in New York or LA, but this whole not everyone can buy a house thing is nonsense. Sure people sacrifice things to pursue careers or live in areas where buying a house is harder or near to impossible. But it doesnt mean they cant afford a house in another area.
Also, landlords often have second jobs and invest to get out of their low class situation. Not every landlord is a millionaire, and more often than not the ones that aren't get taken advantage of more because they cant start out with the cash float to actually make their units nice or renovate them to keep people like this from renting them. I have had amazing tenants, I wish them all the best in the world, when someone enters into an agreement they cant meet because they're too busy to buy drugs I dont give a fuck if they become homeless
@@haileybrown5056 I think she meant, "professional tenants" as people who play the system and abuse the laws that are meant to protect tenants. As a landlord, you can't NOT pay your mortgage because the bank or seller isn't responsive to your every command. Not a great analogy, but its the entitlement of feeling that the rent is only due if your every wish is granted. A missing storm window is a weak demand.

Hahahahaha. Facts!!🔥🔥
On the “Say Sorry” - Some are misunderstanding the difference between negotiation and “admissions of guilt.”
First, too many are so ego-driven these days they’ll never be able to win a negotiation without a lawsuit.
Avoiding the lawsuit is key.
I recommend using “I’m sorry” as a tool. Such as, “I’m sorry you had a bad experience.” It’s a negotiation tactic.
I’m NOT saying, say “: “I’m sorry I didn’t fix X.”
This is an advanced topic and goes to show why so many can’t figure out how to make money in real estate. Their egos are too big and their imaginary fears of a lawsuit are wrong - use “I’m sorry” correctly and you could transform your life and your wealth.
Meet Kevin totally agree. It’s hard to say things that hurt your pride even though they are the things that will bring you the most benefit and income!
Also, regarding some people using the car accident: “I’m sorry” analogy: context is very important.
Example:
“I’m sorry I didn’t hear about the hailstorm, yikes - what happened?” Sincere, not an admission.”
Vs
Just crashes car. First interaction with accident victim: “I’m so sorry!!”
Context folks

These people definitely are drug users. When you're on drugs you have zero shame or self awareness. I know only because I had to cut friendships with close friends who got into drugs. Constantly acting like they are big shots, acting childish in public, always asking for money and never paying it back, blaming their mistakes and problems on others and never taking responsibility, and always losing their jobs and homes because they can't behave and pay their bills. The woman in this video is on drugs too but likely less addictive drugs because it seems to me like she is trying her best but her husband is dragging her down and he is definitely on strong drugs.
These tenants know what they are doing. They are just trying to live there for free.

Israel Ramirez Especially these ones haha thanks for watching
Correct
The second I see these two as potential tenants, it would be an automatic HARD PASS.
Not totally legal in practice. You can't pass on someone based on their appearance. Potential tenants can file discrimination suits for that sort of thing. Easier to disqualify them through an applicant-paid background check, employment verification, etc... People need to stop finding tenants on Craigs List that are avoiding any background scrutiny.
Mo Karney if only we could have seen into the future 🤦🏻♂️
DK Bullock of course you don’t want them to file discrimination suits but you can find pretty much any reason to disqualify them. Especially if the owner is doing SFHs, he could have a requirement that the credit score be 600 to live there if the tenant he doesn’t want is at 580.
I’ve never rejected a tenant based on race or gender or age or sexual orientation but you can get a gut feeling on if the tenant is going to cause problems when you show them the property.
DK Bullock shut up normie
wagner1va There are plenty of excellent renters who are both black and have solid cash flow/income. There are objective ways to determine whether one is qualified - a full and clean credit report and a background check report empty of criminal activity are reliable indicators.

It hard to tell what people are like in real life when they are applying to rent. People put on a fake face.
And so the tenants had no argument?
Come on the tenants had a real argument which the Owner had no justified resopnse for.
He literally stayed mouth closed and said nothing wise.
So is he the dumb one for putting himself in a position like this? Sure is.
He didnt deny that window issue causing 3k damage he just stayed silent which is equivalent to agreeing.
So treat your tenants right and you may have a better outcome at least you could win the argument. And the place being trashed could, just cpuld be due to the poor treatment the tenants accused the owner of.
SmokieSmoke I would rent my place to them would you?
SmokieSmoke sorry about the confusion. I meant to say that I would not rent to them. They just give off a bad vibe like they would not pay. Just how they carry themselves and by the way they talk. Do you know what I mean? Life is too short and I am not about to b3 going back and forth getting tenants out and trashing my property. The pictures speak volumes.
SmokieSmoke I understand your point.
No point in talking to losers. They always make them selfs think they are in the right.
Sometimes yes, you need to walk away only IF the tenant "keeps" talking over you and will not let you put a period after each sentence. When there is disrespect and raised voices. These types of individuals will NEVER hear you, work with you etc... Their main goal is to be right, and you are just wrong.
I just end up giving them a 30 day to vacate. Then if their rent was not paid out of spite, i go to the magistrate court and file an eviction. One for non payment of rent the other for ending lease. Here in SC we, as the landlord can end their lease as long as tenant was served a 30 day via certified mail etc...

As landlord this is so hard to watch. Been through this few times. They always find things wrong when they don’t pay rent.
When I was 19 I rented my first place. The home was broken into and the thieves broke the back window and door. Obviously a shady neighborhood. One of my brilliant friends told me not to pay rent until it was fixed. At 19 I thought I was soooo smart and refused my obligations. Two months later I was evicted and left feeling like a scumbag. Difference here is I was smart enough to learn from my mistakes. These “adults” need to grow up and make better choices!
@Kirk Atamian I was thinking of renting out my condo because I'd like to move closer to my girlfriend. Would you suggest getting a management company to handle it all? The HOA i have now also runs management services.

The tenant is trying to create conflict to feel better about himself and his behavior.
The woman needs a chair. The landlord was an idiot to rent his place out to the tenants in the first place.
Wonder about his "vetting" process....😏
Sometimes, the Owner thinks they checked someone out, and is putting a kind person with a nice credit score into their home, but instead that person is having someone else live there for them. I doubt that happened here, but my next door neighbor passed away. Left the house to daughter in law who is a real estate agent. They fixed the place up, and after a year of it being vacant, they rented it out at $1,500 a month for a old, but remodeled 2 bedroom in group townhome. They told us they got us a real nice neighbor. A lady in her 60s who will be living there alone. The lady was only there on moving in day, and a couple of times after that the first month. She got the place for her 25 year old weed smoking grand son son who has no job. She might be paying the rent, but he lives there. Does nothing but smoke weed all day. His dogs have ruined the yard. Our house has marijuana smoke coming through the walls. He has a binge smoking party like once every 6 weeks where his friends come over and smoke like crazy. We had to call the county to send an inspector out in order to make him clean up the dog crap in his yard and they sent a contractor out to cut his 2 foot high grass and weeds. We complained to the landlord 4 times. ZERO response from her...I guess all she cares about is that the rent is getting paid. As long as this lazy wed addicted bone head has a grandma that will pay his rent for him, he will be living there.
@@djrickyb the owner can take grandma to court for falsifying her lease. Grandma is suppose to be living there, not her grandson. If I were the neighbors, I would complain to the authorities weekly. Especially when they are partying. Is it not illegal there to be smoking pot? Be relentless until something is done.
@@djrickyb That happened to me once where a mother used her barely 19 year old daughter as pawn to apply for my in-laws rental (I was filling the vacancy). That woman moved in her other younger daughters and boyfriend. Both with criminal, drugs and eviction record a mile long. What a shocker! I rolled my sleves up and went to work with notices, request to inspect, gathering information I needed from this woman to perform background on her and boyfriend, though she flatly denied living there. I served a 3 day notice to vacate in the daughters name. Maybe the only responsible thing that mother ever did for her daughter was moving out to prevent marring her daughters record. I hesitated at first to put the eviction notice in the daughters name and put it in the mothers name but she wasn't the "tenant" and most likely would not have moved out before I would have filed. Crazy shit out there and difficult to avoid those situations.
Yeah, the landlord denies them housing, he would get dragged into court for being racist.
Back in the 70s and 80s, Banks were the only ones with a crediting system and it was subjective, based on how much you earned, what you owned, but also based on race and gender.
Financial institutions and credit card companies got nailed against the wall for it... Laws were changed. then it came to a point where you had to have a certain percentage of minority borrowers and tenants - affirmative action has been embedded in our regulations laws and quotas everywhere.
The Trumps, among others, got nailed for following that same vetting system chase, Bank of America we're using.
I might have missed it - somebody suggested the lease was actually in the guy's grandmother's name.
We don't know whose name is on the lease, or who's a co-signer.
This is more complicated - this real estate narrator is leaving important factors out.
It's extremely tough to know who you have coming in, because the vetting process is so regulated lanfkords can't turn anyone down... can't ask about their personal life.
It sounds like this guy has over 20 units - he hires a property management company who's supposed to be doing this.
so it's a little too late for this situation, but he needs to find another property management company.
but there's something else this guy's leaving out -
One of the unsaid rules, the reason why landlords aren calling cops all the time to handle these situations - is because local towns put a cap or limit on how many times local law enforcement has to show up at their rental units.
They get fined by the local municipality if the cops have to show up all the time - especially out of state or absentee landlords.
Locals don't like rentals, they push down property values in home - owner neighborhoods.
And once you have rentals in your neighborhood under a certain price - that invites subsidized, government and low income housing people.
Cops being called to these types of units for any reason, drives "crime rates" up, property taxes and insurance rates go up with it.. and that drives housing costs up even further.
Locals who are not subsidized get screwed - everything they pay goes up, rentals and low income don't pay much in taxes, if any.
He's out of State corporations on subsidized housing units - so the profits are leaving the state, and while the problems creating revenue for the landlord, live in your town
It causes everything to go up, working stiffs can't afford housing, they have to go to the government for subsidized or help.
Working lower economic people have far less credit value than people on government programs have better credit ratings cuz their income is consistent.
So it creates a cycle of poverty
Which creates a bigger demand for low-income housing - probably like situation in this video.
so that's why you see landlords trying to do this negotiation instead of calling the cops.
I started off working in law offices as a teen in the late seventies - housing wasn't as difficult cuz it wasn't that tough to evict tenants.
- one of the first Court motions I typed up (using carbon paper) was an eviction on a woman with a cat. It made me sad.
Then things changed when the Liberals took over the legal system in the 80s - '90s... The rights swung over to the tenants, not landlords. lawyers can sue deeper pockets in landlords, a tenant being evicted has no pocket... The legal system always put the bigger purse in the crosshairs.
many states, when children are involved it's nearly impossible to evict in less than 6 months
Also in the late 80s, code enforcement got silly, like in California, driving up the cost of housing. Probably because we started importing substandard building materials from China.
There became a lot less rentals available because landlords don't want the liability.
More than half the time, in a down economy - landlords are better off just having an empty building. It's a tax write-off... Not worth the hassle renting out housing units.
Corporations started taking over retirement communities & subsidized housing.
It's designed for lawyers to make profit, and excuse to take taxpayer money... There's a certain entity that wants all of us in Socialist State/Corporate - owned housing.
These ppl will never pay rent. That’s their plan. This has nothing to do with repair or not . Plus a lot of states doesn’t allow withholding rent technically

Never sit down and talk to people in that condition without someone from the Sheriff's office by your side.
It's Idaho so it's not as dangerous as it probably is in your state. Always assume that the person that you're talking to is armed because most people around here conceal carry. I would not be surprised if either Chandler or his cameraman were strapped as well. It may sound weird but in Idaho most people behave or get shot.
When he hit him with the “you got a lot to learn” 😂
Says the tenant who needs to learn some good manners like not talking over people and unnecessarily being disrespectful
These tenants have some balls. After seeing how they lived inside the place I find it hard to believe they’re concerned about minor repairs. I have a feeling that this is what they do on regular basis anywhere they live.
Exactly, they’re deflecting. So, did they save the “rent payments”, while waiting for repairs... likely never had it.
Well they're moronic enough to not leave the property on time so now they have an eviction on their record. I hope that every landlord is doing due diligence and checking their credit and background so that they don't let a person with an eviction record rent from them.
@@Sulfen I’m personally going through this now. I’ve had none paying renters in my house since the lockdown started. Since the governor of the state declared a landlord couldn’t evict a tenant for non payment they decided to capitalize on that for over a year even though their financial situation hadn’t change, in fact, it actually improved with all the stimulus and child tax credits the received. I also found out that they hadn’t paid the sewer or water bill since covid started which also another thing the governor said they didn’t have to pay. So here I aim, stuck with all the bills they hadn’t paid. My first court date for eviction is this morning in fact. The lawsuit for the money is next week.
And yes, I did a full background check on the couple years ago before they moved in. I just found out that they were handed a summons for eviction by their previous landlord between the time I did the background check and the time they moved in, so I’d never see the eviction on their record until it was too late. Turns out that this is their MO. Move from one place to another just before eviction so the landlord drops the case. There’s a lot more to it. Sorry for the long winded reply.

One technique is to cross your arms on your chest.That way you can strike with a back fist and get into a defensive guard quickly.Or put one hand under your chin and the other holding that arm up by the elbow.It looks none threatening,but easy to get into a guard position. When your opponent suddenly looks away, looks back at you,that is sometimes a tell that he is going to throw a punch.The way he was holding his hands behind his back is also an indicator that he was thinking about throwing a punch.Stay safe dude

Zero chance I would ever meet with an "Evicted" tenant, especially right before the physical vacate date.
This was a 100% waste of time, i.e. $$$.
This video is good specifically on what not to do, ever!!
Exactly. I stay away from the property and go with the bailiff at the set out date. I then lock up the property and stay away for at least a couple weeks so if anything illegal was going on, those people know the house is vacant. After that, I go in and get it ready for new tenants.

Probably was trying to get them to first pay several months that were not paid then evict them, but it was too late for that negotiation. Agreed, he shouldn't even set foot there.
Sometimes you gotta do whatever it takes to get more views on your videos even if it means risking your life!
Kuddos to the guy, after doing this he might as well sit and talk with a couple of garbage bags and there wouldn't be much difference rather than the garbage bags wouldn't be talking back
Typical low-life thinking everything should be free.
What Bernie Sanders think of poor ppl. There’s actual hard working poor ppl who pay their rent. There’s no damn excuse for not paying rent even if ur poor. Its the same with every mistake any person makes in life.
I know this woman who gets delinquent rent notices every month. There are other places where this woman can live and is based on her income. There are good and bad tenants out in the world. There are good and bad landlords.
It should all be free...we just need to make certain people work...if they don't work we send soldiers to their homes and drag them off into the night. Communism is an excellent system and is the future.
@@andrewmurphy2133 I hope you're being sarcastic
@@DiaJasin My answer is complicated...because in truth you have two structures of power that succeed...bastard capitalism...or bastard communism. Socialism does not work. In a proper, fair, socialist system, the lazy simply don't work....and the economy crumbles. I live today in a socialist country...free whatever...everything...the problem is, there is nothing...so give me free nothing? It's Argentina, just so you know...we have rampant crime, horrible unemployment, and a bueocracy that steals everything not nailed down. Oh, but we have cops...and they come to see you very quickly should you do something...However, In Capitalism, the people are reduced to slavery at the hands of men like Bill Gates, or Zuckerberg, or whatever...they steal everything...under authortarian communism you have a chance. It's a socialist society...but, nothing is free. You have a choice, you participate, or they cut off your balls. I'm thinking thats horrible and brutal. But so what...fuck people...they don't want to do anything but be thieves, so cut off their balls and blacklist their families...
And here I will tell you a secret if you care to know it...I personally met Kim Jong ill once, when he was still alive and the president of North Korea...and he told me that he worried a little about me, because he said that Comunism was bullshit, but, I was a passionate true believer...which I am. He said that passionate believers were essentially the problem in the world. You can believe that, or not...but fuck it all the same...communism is the future...and you should probably get a sex thing that guards your balls.
*Don’t Rent to Meth heads is the best advice i got from this video*
Moral of the story. Invest heavily in the screening process. Judge, Judge, Judge. Create a criteria and stick to it 100%, zero exceptions.
I run a medical clinic, and this is the exact method my mentor told me about dealing with in-office issues. I had a running in with a couple of our employees and instead of meeting fire with fire I met them with understanding and empathy. It worked so well I'm never doing anything else😂
You are the man Kevin! Thanks for the feedback! This was a crazy situation and it was eye opening to me because the damage done to the property was all done by the tenants. Broken windows, destroyed walls and flooring, months without paying rent. It’s really hard to swallow your pride and say you’re sorry when you’re going through an eviction and your not sorry haha but sugar always gets you further than vinegar. Thanks again for the feedback!
Here is more background on the interaction if you want to check it out.
th-cam.com/video/YgLW3NadwxA/w-d-xo.html
Good on you for trying to resolve the difficult issue - must have been a tough to sit through this.
Steve Rapos it was so hard! Ha ha all you want them to do is move out and yet they somehow feel justified in staying in the place they claim is crap when they’ve lived there a couple months for free already.
Selebrity 152 ha ha trust me it was a struggle. Kevin is right though, my goal was to get them out and even I went to far in frustration to where I didn’t get them out. The funny part about this is that they weren’t out on Friday like he said they would be ha ha we had to do the whole eviction.
Wait this was your house? Dude wtf? Why did you let this piece of shit talk to you like that? I would of told him to fuck off, why even the need to talk about anything? Just let him get evicted and blame yourself for renting to someone like this. The levels of disrespect wooooow
You should have asked, "Why would I ever fix this place up while you're in the process of destroying it?" And no driveway or yard space? Then why'd you agree to rent it? No excuse to stop paying. If it's such a POS why you still here homeboy?
That lean-in at the end where you say the tenant is empathizing with him - that's not empathy, that's contempt as proved by his next statement of making him pay the extra $200
Precisely.
Actually it is complaining really.
Oh woe is me because I have to pay the mortgage.
If you dont have money to pay your mortgage as a landlord, you shouldn't own property.
Yes. That was posturing. It was aggression, not empathy.
lol it was the typical setup, almost like an adult, verbal version of 'high low - too slow' lol. Starting to think this Kevin guy doesn't know wtf he's talking about
@@BiHPacker he surely does know what he's talking about. Just because it wasn't stated that "the guy then flipped right back and verbally spited the owner", doesn't mean Kevin wasn't thinking that lol. He was surprised because a crack head had the ability to high low too slow.
This stressed me out to the point that I know I don't want to go into property management lol. Props to the land lord for keeping his cool the whole time, and thanks to Kevin for the insight in where he went wrong in the conversation.
GOOD. THE LESS LEACHES THE BETTER. KILL ALL LANDLORDS
Last time I was involved in a confrontation like that, the tenant threatened to kill me and my family. Police were involved, a restraining order was placed. I would never sit down and have a chat with them like that unless the police are present. I also won't go anywhere near a tenant like that without a firearm on my person. At minimum a hidden camera or sound recorder on your person is cheap and easy to do. Sometimes it's just safer to be an asshole from a distance than try to work things out...
Yeah I don't see why he would do this
@Jake McCoy is right but I am going to add this A camera does nothing to save your ass. A firearm, on the other hand, is very different. People like this do not care about cameras. They do not prevent them from committing a crime. All they do is help prosecute later on - but you still got stabbed. Maybe he did have a concealed weapon we don't know about, but I doubt it...
@Ryan Roberts - totally agree with you i've dealt with a few nightmare tenants myself and have just gone with eviction companies to do the work for me and yes definitely always carry concealed.
@@Alex-uo4qq There's a small chance this was staged to drive more traffic to his You Tube Channel.

ROFL 🤣
LOL comment of the year I love it
I was looking for this comment!! 😂
😄
He should have asked, "Why would I ever fix this place up while you're in the process of destroying it?" Total scumbags.
wil hallman trust me I did. Kevin cut this part but the guy was trying to sell me on letting him renovate it for me. I was like “dude it didn’t need renovating to be moved in” haha
@@ChandlerDavidSmith where can I watch the full thing?
@@ChandlerDavidSmith I applaud your obvious concern for your willingness to have a sit down with the tenants to find a solution. Also you kept your cool 100%, as far as I could see from Kevin's cut. One really can't ever plan for confrontations like these as there are other factors at play (such as, were the tenants on drugs? their possible theft of electricity, lack of specific documentation to their claim of loss of $2400 of their belongings, lack of information claiming how the window was supposedly broken, etc.) Anyway, you did a great job trying to care for these people who clearly struggle to engage in basic respectful dialogue.
If theyre already getting evicted why the hell would you sympathize with them?
I'm still laughing about them wearing pajamas, her on his lap while they are suppose to be having a discussion with landlord.
Damn DMX really fell hard
He was on crack
Matrix Man brilliant 😂😂😂
Some would say he is slippin fallen and can't get up
Matrix Man LOL 😄
where the hood, where the hood, where the hood at?
Kevin, it's very easy talking behind a monitor everyone can do that but actually being in that situation it gets real messy for both parties!
There's NOWAY you can fix this situation, things have already escalated beyond repair, they were already getting evicted from the property anyway!
Blaming the owner….. just playing the victim. This tenants are disgusting people inside and out.
Props to him for being so patient. I would've lost my shit trying to deal with those trashy tenants!
@@CarlAquaForce fear of what?
me to
You would have gotten dog walked by those trashy tenants.
Yeah I know I would have went south on both of them
You wouldn't done shit he would of slap your ass
She's a junkie and her boyfriend's been playing victim his whole life! He said the hailstorm ruined thirteen hundred dollars worth of property, but I don't think he's ever had that much money in his life...
Stolen property
Hahahaha im not racist but I've been in the restaurant industry for 10 years and 80% of complaints came from african americans who act like the world owes them something..... o my god
@Clout Life yes we do. Did you even watch the video or are you a typical loser liberal who thinks everyone is a special flower. Truth alarm- THEY FUCKING ARENT!
Listen to the assholes hostility and excuses, playing the blame game. Hes a thief and druggie. Fact.
@Clout Life I'm judging him by the way he speaks, and I've never known anyone that talks like that having ever made an honest living!
@Clout LifeListen to him talk, does he sound like the type of person that takes what he wants because he thinks the world owes him a free ride...The way a person speaks is what people base their opinions on!
Horrible. I ended up feeling so angry at how the tenant was treating Chandler.
Everyone knows he needs to get paid as the landlord but if you don't empathize with the tenant this is unfortunately how many people will react. "Well obviously I have to pay my mortgage" AKA I dont give a shit, you need to pay because you agreed to it...rather than "what can I do to better this situation and come to a resolution that works for both of us". Nothing may come to fruition, but doing what chandler did will almost always result in a similar outcome.
This isn't the first time this ninja has pulled this crap with a landlord.
No offense, but each time they mentioned a problem, he just brought up his mortgage payment.
Hard to take offense to this when the rest of the comment section is screaming that no one should rent to black people.
shlomo kikebherger It’s 2020 and there is still people like you out there. Shame.
@shlomo kikebherger this is not about black tenants! This is about people who don't pay. That is not about color. There are two tenants with different ethnicities in this video. One black and one white. Both people are scammers. This is not about black or white!
Time to go joe. Go live in your car.
Wow... I wonder what was their credit score when he chose them as tenants...
Credit score does not always mean they don't pay, that's why you need three years of verifiable rental history
Her mom co-signed Forsure
Yeah
@@aureliuslennon-rios6037 exactly
Negative 144.
Kevin, your suggestion to say "I'm so sorry, let's talk.." Do you really think that is going to work with these people? These people are out of control and that is why they can't afford $500/mo. Take them to court. Chandler is lucky he didn't get physically harmed.
These people need to be in Jail for a long time. I wish state lawmen pass a law that if you are evicted more than 4 times. It is a felony. Just like DUIs'... I would never f'king rent my house to anybody. Just looking at them make me sick. Disgusting human beings.
This is painful to watch. I can’t deal with ghetto people, I’m too soft spoken. They’re Too loud, no self control, rude.
You got no idea what I go thru, and putting kids out of their home, tenants trying to fight, breaking stuff on top of what they ruined, breaking back into the home the only reason why i buy houses in the hood is because the low taxes
You're a pussy
It went from 1,300 then to 2,000-3,000 worth of lost property. They blame everyone but themselves. I mean, they do not have a driveway. Where they supposed to put their stolen cars???
Big Hoss because they do not like dealing with pond life, junkie fucks??
Dez G you’re soft
This is why a credit check and 2 year work history check is good. A back ground check would also be good.
Does that put a hard credit inquiry on their credit report though?
I would have took one look at this couple and realized they were more than likely bad news. I stopped giving people the benefit of the doubt about 20 years ago
What gave it away?
@@insomthegreat makes you wonder about who is making these decisions

Ahhhhhh you think people in power live by God's word....
My grandparents owned approx 35 rental property’s. They taught me it’s better to get the next to last reference with prospective tenants because the last landlord may give the prospects a decent review just to get rid of them.
Haha clever
