Evictions skyrocket nationwide as housing costs rise

Pandemic-era eviction postponements and federal assistance programs have expired, leaving renters vulnerable to the eviction filings that have dramatically increased nationwide. As wages can’t keep up with higher housing prices, landlords make the ultimate decision on whether to evict, oftentimes at a human cost. NBC News’ Valerie Castro reports.

I’m a grand dad, I moved to the Bay Area a few years ago and I’m thinking of purchasing a single family home, but with real estate prices currently through the roof, is it still a good idea to buy a home or should I invest in stocks for now and just wait for a housing market correction?

Unless they’ve owned a place for a long time and it’s appreciated, or it’s paid off, rent is usually only a few hundred dollars a month in profit. While that is great, it’s not a lot of money, and it only works if the tenant pays. Otherwise, these properties don’t make money and are very expensive

The apartment complex I live in is owned by a larger company that owns quite a few apartments around the country and they don’t waste no time starting the eviction process if you are late on the rent. It’s like it’s an automatic thing if you are a week late on top of the late fees they add for being late.

[@EricaChavira-on4oz]

The place we lived at years back, was decent looking and it was gated and all but they were the same way, they would start the eviction process immediately and get their lawyers involved almost immediately. The late fee was $100 and if you went month to month when your lease was up, it was around $7,000 to rent there per month. So the only way to get around that was to sign again for another year and lock in your current rent amount. That made it difficult to get out of renting there, which is what they want of course. If you wanted to get out of the lease early, it would probably be on your credit, I’m not sure, and it was a fee of around $2000 to get out of the lease early. We tried to get a smaller unit at one point to bring the rent down but then that would include a fee of $500 just to apply to transfer and if they didnt approve it, you didn’t get the $500 back. That also included another deposit. I don’t understand how these landlords can charge all of these outrageous fees. It’s absolutely insane.

Mom and Pop landlords place a higher value on keeping good renters and as the owners they are far more incline to negotiate rent.

Their goal is continuing to increase rent, hence more profit, and in purchasing houses, and renting them as well, and creating communities where people can rent forever but never purchase, they have/are creating a construct where it becomes nearly impossible to buy a house. If a person can't buy a house, locking down a fixed mortgage rate, and they are not lush wealthy the odds are they will have to work just to hold on literally until the day they die. Rent will always increase but NOT knowing the difference between these two kinds of landlords can be financial suicide.
