Sad we are taking care of illegal immigrants then we are American citizens. We need the same energy level for Americans please make this make sense, we all know what being done to these people is wrong and should be a crime.
It's called a job!😤
@@Anthony-dj4ndincluding immigrants.. . Everybody should be working
Absolutely agree there is no place in the world we Americans can go and assert rights ahead of the respective countries citizens. If no one deserves help then help no one not people who show up and say its now your obligation to support their entire families. There is an immigration process and they should be made to follow them.
@Anthony-dj4nd she has a job! I worked in property management and white ppl are also in the office every month looking for a payment arrangement. We didn't cheat anybody.
And yet now those people are also attacking our police now. They need to be sent home.
Why are they , allowing this to happen! This is done purposely so sad! Cheating these people!
It's because property taxes went way up.
@@imperialmotoring3789yeah wages didn’t tho.
Someone needs to go after this lawyer! He is a crook!!!! He is a vile man!
She needs to sue.
With what money?
@@stevealapatt9499 I’m sure someone would take the case for a cut.
It’s many people out here ! Thats going through this same thing! You have to find a pro bono lawyer! Hopefully they find one ! Sad situation
How old are you? How the fuck are you gonna sue as a tenant for failing to pay the landlord your rent? You ok?
I can see both sides. People desperately need affordable housing, and $3,000 per month isn’t affordable.
Fuck no who the fuck paying that much money. Most people only make that in a month
Who is gonna stop that lawyer? Who is gonna help that lady? She has a judgement against her, so she is trapped in a building that can’t even keep up with a few payments but they have money for a lawyer to take people who pay rent to court. The building confirmed they are wrong but will not take steps to fix it. This is how POVERTY turns into violence. I’m sure this situation was stressful, painful and scary for this poor mom but the lawyer told you himself- HE DOESN’T CARE. None of them do.
Exactly.
She could always pay her rent and avoid this entirely 😅
@@Cjx0r You didn’t listen the story obviously. She did pay her rent, didn’t have money for a lawyer, the judge sent her and the companies lawyer to a mediation room, lawyer threatened to put her out, she paid the money again just to settle the case so she would not be thrown out, the management company found her original payment “after” the judgment, the lawyer said he doesn’t care and the judgement against her is still on her record.
@brownbarrett6842 ok that's fine, just pay your rent. You can look this all up btw and she has 3 cases of eviction on her record in addition to a host of other charges related to fraud. Also she wasn't car jacked her car was impounded for lack of insurance.
@@Cjx0r What does her past history have to do with this case. In this story she had already paid, the company admitted they had the payment but she still has the judgment.

Yes landlords file as soon as you're late because it takes so long to get someone out of the property. Longer you wait the more months you go without getting paid.
The media is mostly sympathetic to the tenants without telling the full story. It is more of a story for them.
If you pay on time each month and then the next month you mightt have to pay that month but ask for a grace period cause you going to be late trusting that you will pay you telling me it's ok for a landlord go file for a month that has not even passed yet and you think that's ok ......u
@@kaylee3867 I'm not understanding what your trying to say here, but if you pay on time every month then you wouldn't have any issues. So.......u too.
@@vgentry83 how you don't understand go back and re read then if you was paying attention they ssid at the end they found her missing payments they are a scam

1) Where is the father of these children to help??
2) When you can't pay your FULL rent, you have to contact your landlord/property manager and NEGOTIATE/AGREE on a payment plan
3) Partial payments will still show you as delinquent
Apartments are a business and not an extension of social services. Too many uneducated people jump on the lawyer who is following std. procedure when a person is delinquent on their rent. The government IS NEVER a replacement for the responsibility /obligation of the birth father.If only people in this post had all that heat for the birth father not stepping up and being responsible/accountable. BUT YOU DON'T!
Partial payments aren't acceptable. You need to pay on time and the full amount.
They are acceptable if you took the payment. It MUST be recorded on the ledger. Anything else is false representation to the court.
@@chinaarlene7035
I agree her partial payments should be recorded.
It's just in 40 years of renting I've never heard of being allowed to partially pay.
All my leases said I had to pay the full amount monthly. I sign a year long lease & I am responsible for paying the full amount monthly for the whole year wether I stay there or not. If I paid a partial payment they would of started the eviction procedures immediately. A contract is a contract. You either agree or not to sign it & hold up your end of the deal🤷
Before selling off my rental properties, the company i used to deal with my properties as a stand in landlord DO NOT accept partial payments. You can do partial payments but in the contracts it says it will NOT count to the ledger as a full payment or as rent paid if by the end of the pay period ends without the full amount being paid and the company reserves the right to file for eviction if rent is not paid after 2 consecutive months. She can try to sue but she'll lose miserably and be even more in debt if it's the same type of contract.
Yes absolutely!
Having had been a renter for 40 years that's exactly how I understood the lease agreement contract.
Thank you for setting people straight about this.
@@annahgibbus8 I feel for this lady but she's technically in the wrong here with her partial payments. These comments pushing her to sue which would be a terrible idea as she'll get crushed in court
@@Centurion305
I know I feel sorry for her too & others like her.
What bothers me is people in these situations never read their lease or at least didn't understand it.
It doesn't matter how many kids you have or if you've lost your job you still are responsible for the lease agreement.
I don't understand why renters nowadays expect their landlord to carry them through?
We've had the almost 3 years where many landlords weren't paid at all. Then they finally get to evict & their properties are ruined by the discruntled renters.
When did people expect others to pay for their own mistakes?
The people suggesting to sue haven't a clue.
Every time I hear these stories it reminds of 2 events in my life. #1 My Dad taught me as a child never sign a contract you don't understand. If you don't understand it get a lawyer to understand it for you. I started renting at 17 lied about my age way back then & rented for 40 years always paying on time & never near an eviction.
#2 My first job at a hotdog stand. I'd always give this little pregnant woman who came with all the factory people at lunch extra fries. My boss caught me & said: You didn't get her pregnant stop giving her extra fries! I don't have any sympathy for people who have child after child that they can't afford. No offense it's not my problem.
I'm sorry, but people need to understand what they are doing & pay for their own consequences like I have had to do & take responsibility for their own choices. I'm just sick of the majority of adults who can't handle adulting & expect others to pay for their poor choices, bad decisions & mistakes.
This is because of covid moratorium, and it's the fallout.
Soooo true!!!
Not true. They did this before covid. People always take advantage of those most vulnerable. A working mother of 3 making partial payments and they lied to the court saying nothing was paid. That's illegal.
The government should lower property taxes on rental units if they want to keep the prices down.
Yes they should but they should also be setting up govt housing instead of asking the private sector and taxpayers to subsidize and manage the poor and or disabled. Landlords should not be burdened with the ones that just can’t manage. Lots of rules and legal conduct for landlords, none for tenants really ( landlords who have to watch peoples destroy thier property break rules but evictions take time and money, none of which the poor have, no real financial consequences for the poor because well they’re poor. The govt should be providing transitional housing for people to move towards ownership.
some good points are made with this argument and some not so good. The idea of wholly government housing can create an environment that many will discover they don't wish to live in, there is also the astronomically high cost of such housing, approx. 40% more s.f. There is also the argument by many that believe it's better to disperse those who choose to be financially assisted around -- not to congregate them in 1 location.
there is also the 900# gorilla in the situation that being Sec. 8, and othe forms of rent-assisted 'must' follow fed regulations for landlords, many- many landlords do not want anything to do with those onerous regulations so there are limited options for tenants.
so what can be considered as creating more options for tenants in private housing?
halt with the fed. regulations for rent assistance, ensure it's easy to evict a tenant who's paying with fed./state dollars, meaning a landlord might take a chance on marginal tenants but if things go bad they must be easy to evict. And always 'demand' that government get the hell out of the housing business in all forms.
'no' to 'transitional' housing, but a resounding yes to create new ways and even maybe new taxes to get renters into being stakeholders; it's 'worth' the investment. Sadly the lawmakers who claim they are tenant 'advocates' are the ones who 'oppose' any effort to bring about new stakeholders, and they are democrats. Renters can be counted on for their vote, stakeholders not so much.

@neonnoir9692 Yeah but these people need places to live also
The government should stop all this nonsense not allow landlords to rent over certain amounts in areas that ain't worth half of what is charged. Abolish low income philosophy. And start A fair income program help the people.. why are one bedroom apts 1200 and up? Charge that in Beverly hills.. not hardworking people y'all always ignore ..
Sleazy lanlords and lawyers
Yes, they have gone up by $250 and I'm on social security. This leaves me with $300 to buy food, pay pay utilities, and insurance. And they really don't care at all. I hear they are doing this to move people out, no matter how many years they have lived there so that they can move in Section 8 renters. They then can charge higher rents because the state pays Section 8 rents.
Property taxes on rental units trickle down to the renters. It's the government's fault, not the owner of the property.
Yep. Every time my mom gets more in SS the landlords know about it and raise her rent. They're vultures!

She did because they made a mistake about her payments. If you weren't a racist you would've heard that.
@uggycyvhvyvyv7322 actually, there are partial payments and if you take them you have to show them on the ledger. You can't take money and not account for it. That's called stealing.
In NYS Deadbeat renters receive free legal, vouchers and endless stays of eviction. By the time the landlord evicts them, the place is destroyed and requires extensive repairs.
Your problem is simple. New York. Nasty ass new yorkers all of ya.
If she was illegal she could live there for free
At the same time It’s extremely expensive to own a rental property! Landlords just want their agreed rent amount paid!
All I can say is to come through the border, with a fake accent, and say you're in danger.
Ummm...doesn't a worker take the best paying job he can find? Why can't a landlord find the best paying tenant?
Because it causes social instability.
you mean where we are now right dear? @@ShannonsBibleStudy
The government needs to lower property taxes if the tenant is poor.
VIP!! do a story on Saxony Village Apartments in Germantown, Wisconsin! They evicted or went brand. New leases to increase all the rent post pandemic! Then stole my security deposit and forced me to pay triple or they would sue me! And they fraudulently increase the ledger prior to submitting for rental assistance! Then sent me a bill afterwards for the same thing!!!
What a ridiculous headline.
Yes the person renting to you is looking to profit. And that doesn't maje them the bad guy.
You failing to pay what you owe to people makes you the bad guy
The property owner made a clerical error that caused her eviction.
@ShannonsBibleStudy That's great that you found some outlier case that will be easily sorted out in court if yiur claim is true, but that doesn't actually make the headline more true.
How much profit? The rise in rent prices far exceed inflation numbers.
There will arrive a day in this country when rent will be high enough to make everyone homeless, and then how will landlords make their profits? The landlords themselves will go homeless. Extreme capitalism backfires on everyone.
Must not be talking about California clearly. It’s tenant heaven and yes their attorneys are all free.
NYC housing authority delinquency rates are over 45%. How's that affordable housing working out? A non-profit public entity is having trouble keeping the lights on. How do you expect small landlords to absorb deadbeat tenants and not evict?
In my state it takes anywhere from three months to over a year just to get an eviction and then if they don't leave it starts all over again. Back to court and this can go on for months. A person who buys a tenement with the landlord depending on the other rents to pay their mortgage. The victim can go both ways. I knew a landlord that had a tenant who did not pay their rent and this apartment included electricity and hot water. He shut off the the electricity, the people took him to court and he had to put the electricity back on and was fined. He had to pay them over two thousand dollars to leave because it would have taken several months more to get them out. They left owing owing over six thousand dollars he never saw. Needless to say, he sold and vowed never to by a rental property again.
Rent is cheap. Eating out is up.
So you follow hundreds or thousands of people day to day to know that most are choosing Fast food over paying their rent.

Landlords can only raise the rent to the amount that someone is willing to pay. Nobody forced you to sign the lease, you signed the lease and knew how much it was going to cost each month. If you cant pay then leave!
Shut up Karen
What happens when someone loses their job? You can’t be this D U M B! People lose their jobs everyday and aren’t lucky enough to find one fast enough to get their rent paid. Jobs aren’t obligated to keep anyone. They are at will! Property managers need to keep THAT in mind! The hiring process could be upwards of three months before you’re hired at ONE place! Imagine that! As a property owner, keep three months of some type of insurance or savings in case your tenant loses their damn job!
@@kaybee5008I'm not that DUMB thank you very much! But why is it the landlords responsibility to keep 3 months of savings? Why shouldn't the tenant keep 3 months of savings? And just like jobs aren't required to keep people neither are landlords!

"Property Management." MIS management. THREATEN TO SUE-do what she did and contact the MEDIA. Whatever to get mismanagement to get themselves together.
Very one-sided reporting. In Maryland, you can not file with the court immediately if payment is not received by the due date. You need to send a letter to the tenant you INTEND to file with the court. After waiting 10 days you are allowed to file with the court. It is another 2 weeks to get into court. That's right a month passes before you have a court date. It can be two months before the eviction can take place. I do file immediately - TO protect MY interests. God bless the communist state of Maryland...
The last time I checked they cut off your phone service and water if the bill is not paid on time but reporter thinks the the landlord should be held to a different standard- RIGHT
Nobody tells Ford and GM what to charge for their vehicles, so why should someone have the right to tell property owners what to charge people for rent?

My landlord sold my rental, and the new people jacked the rent up over $800 dollars and forced me out for r buy from them and they earn a $85,000 profit on a quick sale to me
Absolutely rediculous
Looking to turn a profit??? Real estate is a business, not a charity. Tenants should not get free lawyers. I shouldn't need a lawyer to file and win an eviction case.
Heard a new term today ~ Renovictions, its the newest thing for scandalous money grabbing landlords
Most renters just don't wanna pay the rent especially section 8

I totally agree with that Randall guy.
Another idea is remember occupy back in 2011 I think we need something like that to get housing for those who need it the most I would say I would love to see a how can I put this a peaceful revolution of people taking to the streets by the millions to get affordable housing

If you take a partial payment from a tenant you have to record it on the ledger! If you plan to file, don't accept the partial payment but you can't take the payment and not record it! Criminal!
It’s all the squatters that ruined it, and therefore lost compassion for the legitimate struggles of tenants!

"Single mom to 3" is all I need to hear...
Be carful what you wish for Los Angeles gives free lawyers to tenants and the otion to have a jury decide if the eviction can go through. Ridiculous since what’s required is knowledge of the laws anyone testing the jury for knowledge of the laws..really. Also Tenants lose a rental that’s all owners have have massive legal liability’s
Partial payments means you still owe. And why would you have ANOTHER baby if you're already struggling with 2??????
most property owners are regular people that rent to barely cover the cost. most landlords are not rich and need people to pay what they agreed. who knows if the guy that miraculously found money after the fact hasn’t pulled that numerous times and the landlord ends up being late paying the mortgage as a result. very disappointed in this one sided coverage.

I think housing should be a human rights issue and I would go as far as making it mandatory for housing to be provided for the most needy and I even think the UN should get involved it should be an established human rights
Hire consumer protection lawyers don't cost a thing and you will win I had one and won😊
Got a receipt. Partial payment eviction ends. If you cant pay the rent get a second job. Sounds like it was subsidized, could not pay couple hundred bucks a month. Hmmm.
She paid. They made a mistake and now she has a judgment on her. What are you even talking about? This is not on her!
Greed is not a reason to evict. Holding low income tenants hostage because you can is wrong. Fix buildings, be professional, be honest, and there won't be a problem.
It didn't say ish about subsidized 🙄 , she had a job and got laid off.

Also, someone should tell the silly reporter that it's a problem, not an "issue." Lawyer Matthew Chase is right. If you sign a big contract without knowing what your rights are, you are foolish.
I hate to bust the myth but having been a small landlord for years I have come to see the property owner almost always loses money on an eviction and often thousands of dollars. And are usually left with apartments looking like hiroshima garbage. If someone wanted to try evicting people as a money making scam it would be the worst, most difficult and risky ones imaginable. Aside from tons of work cleaning up after them and repairing, drama and re-renting they are in your property and control everything, and you have to depend on a judge for a ruling. Most of us look forward to an eviction as much as a root canal. Its either losing money already or unbearable and wanting out of the rental agreement.
You can win in court and kick someone out but good luck getting them to pay the backrent and you're stuck with all the damages if thats why you filed.
Also as the media never tells anyone landlords can't evict.... judicial courts do after hearing both sides of the dispute. Unless its a mistrial the vast majority of the time the tenant is actually guilty of not upholding their side of the lease agreement.
Tenants will vacate on an eviction notice before going in front of a judge because they know they're guilty and can't convince a court.... that way the landlord is stuck with the filing costs and the tenant doesn't have to pay them. This is where the whole media illusion of a landlord kicking someone out comes from

Get on The Blade
The bots in the comments are so funny. I hope life never hits you on hard on your knees and deal with an unforgiving landlord like this story
This is so dumb. Landlords have the right and should have the right to evict if tenants break the lease. Rent is due on the 1st and late on the 5th. And if you pay after that then there’s a late fee usually 10%. If you go beyond the 10th day without talking to your landlord and negotiating a payment plan then they have every right to evict you, charge you late fees, and any legal fees that may occur. Do you think lawyers work for free or process servers, or believe courts don’t charge the landlord any fees??!!!! It’s all in the legal document called a lease maybe people should read it.
