Landlording Tips For Dealing w/ BAD Tenants

[@qstogg7955]

As a part time landlord / property manager of 5 property’s has open my eye on how full of shit and selfish people can be

[@is2fiftyslowfsport744]

Yup these tenants think they're self entitled

[@susanunderwood4357]

Agreed also very ungrateful too.

[@salvatorebuzzanca4127]

YES YOU ARE RIGHT THEY ARE ALL FULL OF SHIT SOON OR LATER

[@donc9275]

Whatever amount of bull shit you put up with today will compound over time and you will regret not putting an end to it early on, this goes for ALL of your relationships. Always be aware of the Bull Shit test, parent to child, husband/wife to wife/husband, employer to employee, and of course landlord to tenant.

[@amyyoshikawa7698]

Hi I am having an issue with a very aggressive and stressful tenant who does what she wants without my permission. I regret asking a realtor who I thought can trust brought a tenant that is not a good fit for renting my room. She is not a nice person. My neighbors and friends are worried about me. I wanted a good trustworthy humble tenant not an older lady who squats and pays by zelle which she can scam anyone easily. She installs her own satellite dish on my garage roof. I hope to give the legal termination notice and I may have to pay her off. The bad part is that she is a commercial realtor with aliases. I dislike her persistent personality. Not my type of tenant I want around my neighbors kids and my family friends. I fired the second realtor who is not honest with me or on my side. I missed meeting two other tenants. I never had a chance to get a proper authorization and I accidentally gave her my keys to the room because she accused me of taking her zelle money which only had 987.13 when she paid $1,456.66. I didn’t sign any lease or month to month. Only thing my former realtor did was tell her to pay me $950 a month she is too difficult and I want to get a better renter. Maybe she is squatting in my late parents masterbedroom.hope to resolve this soon. I can’t afford high priced lawyer. The police can’t do anything about this matter landlord vs tenant. I feel for the ones who ended up with a bad or awful tenant 🙏

The last 2 1/2 years have been my first experience renting to tenants. I only wished I had followed a few of your tips about late rent and property damage from the get-go. It is all great advice! I have considered this a learning process and now it’s time to sell.

[@seekingthemiddleway4048]

My tenants split up, girl with a job moved out, unemployed boyfriend remained. Didn't pay his rent, didn't answer emails, claimed he had no phone; when I went round he'd broken the lock so I couldn't get in...finally got an appointment with him, took 20 mins to answer the door: total squalor. Never be rude to your tenants? I was rude.

@@pollypowell9234 depending on local or state laws, you may very well be able to decline for things like bad credit, no credit, or a report from a previous landlord regarding late payments or if their employment should not completely check out.

Good tips! I would add check their housekeeping practices every 4 months - I've found this is the amount of time before showers etc need cleaning before permanent damage occurs. Also, you can discover any bad habits, leaking water supply lines etc so you don't end up having to replace all the fixtures and appliances or deal with structural damage.

I hate it when people say this, yes it’s true people live different realities! But there is only one real reality! Just like there is right and wrong there is no in between! People choose to live different realities because that’s how they take advantage to manipulate people and situations! If people just kept and held the truth and reality up at all times there would be no bad people. We have to put people in their place! As soon as they miss a step that’s an automatic reality check!! We have to stop allowing people to believe that acting out of their emotions is ok.And then we have to stop respecting how they feel when they are manipulating!! The world is doomed!!

[@crystalcohen2743]

I suggest making a video about how owning rental properties is not easy money , there are actual responsibilities involved . These may be investments to some people but these investments are also where people call home. More often than not these people are paying rent near the same amount of owning a house (at least where I live). It may be a transaction between landlord/company and tenant with paying rent. But it is a huge responsibility and if someone is only looking at this for "easy money" and does not make this a safe home like environment, it is not okay in these circumstances. Buying real estate is becoming a "trend" its great for people who actually care about the tenants. But its also a trend that is making it also easier for landlords to manipulate their tenants in some cases.

[@MJ-ge6jz]

Make a video of your worst tenant and how you resolved that issue. Did you have any section 8 tenants? Are the harder to evict?

[@TheLandlordAdvocates]

Hi Marcus Conn. Yes, it can be much harder to evict a Section 8 tenant, especially if they are in their first year of tenancy. If if is for the tenant not paying their share of the rent, it should be easier. Just make sure that all procedures are followed accurately as the tenant, more than likely, will be entitled to free legal representation based upon being a Section 8 tenant. If a tenant is evicted for owing rent, they will be removed from the Section 8 Program. Legal Aid and tenant advocate groups sometimes are in Court. They will do whatever they can to prevent this. Hope this information helps. Take Care.

[@Vera-dg3hf]

NEVER EVER RENT TO SECTION 8 people. Try to find different tenants.

[@gohardorgohome2938]

The crazy part is that the tenants that are not on section 8 are the ones that don’t pay rent

Hi Sultan's Financial Journey. We disagree with his approach of serving a notice one day after the rent is due. We have been in the landlord services business for close to 30 years. We discourage our clients from doing this. We have seen some clients actually lose good tenants solely based upon consistent late rent. BUT the rent was always paid. We also disagree with lying to tenants by stating that you are not the property owner when in fact you are. It sets up a bad relationship between the landlord and tenant right from the onset. If the landlord feels that that behavior is appropriate, than maybe they chose the wrong tenant. Our channel has other helpful hints for landlords. Take Care.

My tenants have been in default for months and they refuse to pay the $50.00 late fee. Would you suggest evicting them for a late fee? and will the judge see my case also with the fact that the tenants have been in default? Florida

[@vivillager]

My suggestion, make sure you have a written contract that has an "Application of Funds" clause, meaning that payments you receive, you can apply to any fees and charges in any order of your choosing, regardless of any notations made on any check. So if rent is 900, and late fee is 50, and the tenant pays 900, you can apply 50 to the late fee, and the remaining 850 to rent. So now, instead of evicting for a late fee (which many courts will reject), you can evict for incomplete rent (which many courts will accept).

Plus i'm getting a slight discount on rent ($20). But at the same time I haven't mentioned it to her again anymore because I don't want to be one of those tenants that complains...now I block my ears when the neighbor opens his door because I know a slam is about to happen...sometimes I still get surprised by it though and it scares me and my heart just out of my chest.

If the landlord is evicting you, the last few days before you have to be out, post ads on craigslist offering a free place for hobos to stay.
