I love how these houses be shown on listing ads, (proof of the house condition) But then they can move in and say that it wasn’t as listed even though they signed a lease stating it was. Stuff like this makes me wanna stop renting my units and let them experience living on the streets or a nice bump in rent cost due to a change in market, since they don’t care about anyone property. In this guys case I’m not talking about the extra attorney fee stuff he tacked on but I definitely understand the struggle of dealing with tenants who take full advantage and play the victim card.
This TV show is good for both sides because no real judgement is made in a legal sense and the show pays all costs . My Mother was a Lawyer and knew she could loose but let the show pay every thing it was called "The case of the Malibu Mauler" It was a fight over vet bills due to a dog bite. My Mother is a terrible neighbor and should have just paid the vet bill but she is unable as a person to admit to any wrong doing so she took the deal to be on a show I would never go on a show and "air all my dirty laundry"for the whole world to see.
One potential problem is even winning in court may not get the deposit back....especially if landlord is in a different state than rental, so small claims judgement does not help when the landlord ignores it...a bank sweep does not help with landlord in different state, a lien on the property does not help if the landlord is not selling for years. Tenant never gets the security deposit. Another example, we won judgment against a contractor for the maximum $10,000 and we are still trying to collect over ten years later, despite an unsuccessful bank sweep and lien on contractor's property...hard to squeeze blood from a turnip.
Thank you for all the video. I'd appreciate if you make a video on what is the right of the landlord from bad property manager such as bogus invoice, kickback...
That’s one who didn’t take it sitting down. Surprised you showed this considering the low level use of your talents. This is not very flattering to the landlords.
Love the breakdown of this TV court case! Fun to see your feedback on it. Do you agree with the entire month being owed? I'm kind of in a similar situation where my landlord (Portland) agreed I could leave early, but I prepaid rent for the entire month. I asked to have prorated funds returned, but they were refused by the landlord. Context: Month to month lease, no written 30 day notice (just verbal).
If this is outside of the state of Texas, I will not be able to give you legal advice. You should probably reach out to the Landlord/Tenant attorney in your area, Best of luck to you.
Can a landlord send their accounting to their own property despite knowing my previous address (on my application), my email, and having my phone number? Would they have a valid case to say they only sent it to their own address (where I don't receive mail and don't have forwarding setup).
Sometimes l do the repairs myself when the tenant moves out and l usually charge only for the materials that l bought to do the repairs because l can only provide receipts for the materials but unfortunately not my labour. Is there any way that l can also charge for my labour? Thank you.
Yes. Your lease can state a reasonable rate for any repairs you perform due to damages caused by the Tenant that go beyond ordinary use and ordinary wear and tear.
In florida you can only charge for the material. You can't charge them for you doing the work yourself. You can only bill for the work, in florida. If you pay a different company for doing the repairs
If your lease is very specific about the unit being left sparkling clean (listing out all the items to clean) with a tenant initials required to that section, can you take cleaning fees out of the deposit? Also, supported by emails clearly establishing expectations.
You might be able to enforce this if you can prove that the unit was initially delivered to the tenant in this manner. The written agreement is only half of your burden in a courtroom.

Landlords can do a better job of setting the goal posts with pictures, videos, and receipts.
People like her one reason were thinking about getting rid of our rentals. People act like landlord owe them a living

Wow. That's an awesome story. Thanks for sharing it. 👍
@@LandlordAttorney Back then it was Judge Wapner and Doug Luellen who owned the show.
@Dwayne-mb2uj I remember Judge Wapner. 📺

This is very informative. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us.
I'm glad it was helpful. Thank you for watching.
Please make a video where landlord loses for harassment and false reports
If I find one, I'd be happy to make it.
Again thank you, and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Merry Christmas, Eddie!
Thank you for all the video. I'd appreciate if you make a video on what is the right of the landlord from bad property manager such as bogus invoice, kickback...
Sounds like an interesting topic. Let me know more. What all happened with your property manager?
How do you prove bad faith to retain treble damages for security deposit wrongfully withheld?
That depends entirely on the behavior of the Landlord and the perspective of the judge.
@@LandlordAttorney can you do a video discussing some examples of landlord’s outrageous conducts?
That’s one who didn’t take it sitting down. Surprised you showed this considering the low level use of your talents. This is not very flattering to the landlords.
That's essentially the point of this video. I want Landlords to avoid scenarios where they get sued.

It is my understanding the landlord is in Oregon. So, this would depend on the regulations of your local jurisdiction .

Yes. Your lease can state a reasonable rate for any repairs you perform due to damages caused by the Tenant that go beyond ordinary use and ordinary wear and tear.
. So l have to include how much l would charge per hour for labour in the lease . Thank you for responding.
In florida you can only charge for the material. You can't charge them for you doing the work yourself. You can only bill for the work, in florida. If you pay a different company for doing the repairs
I see this has nothing to do with my case while prosecuting my phone? Without my consent
