$6,400 rent raise? Las Vegas landlord says it's their right to name price

A landlord in Las Vegas is asking for a rent raise from $1,495 to $3,950, but is charging a day rate totaling $7,890 each month.

I think a housing crash will happen because all those people who bought homes over asking price, although it was at a low interest rate, they are over their heads. They have no equity if the housing prices continue to go down, and if for whatever reason they cannot afford the house anymore and it goes into foreclosure because even if they try to sell, they will not make any money. I think this will happen to a lot of people especially with the massive layoff predicted for the future and the cost of living rising at a high speed.

This happened with the 2004 housing boom - home prices were greatly inflated, meaning people couldn't sell later because they owed more on the house than they could sell for. I know quite a few people who bought then, thinking they were making a good investment to sell later, but it's taken until the COVID housing boom for the prices to come back to those original amounts.

To balance out your real estate holdings, I suggest investing in equities. If you're cautious, even the worst recessions can present fantastic buying opportunities. Additionally, volatility can produce fantastic short-term purchase and sell opportunities. This is not financial advise, but you should buy immediately away because money isn't king right now!

There is no good reason for rents to increase by 100% except for a system that allows homes to be bought up by investors and weak housing laws. How can you justify an elderly couple's rent increasing by 2,000 in a year. This is morally reprehensible.

[@jesse_-]

Eviction moratoriums. Landlords are going to make up their loses, and build larger reserves in case of future moratoriums. The housing market is way up, so that means landlords can get the high rent. It’s merely a business for landlords, not a charity. Someone that is not a true investor doesn’t think like this, but it is all business to the landlord. People are free to move if they can’t deal with the increase. This is one of many reasons that buying is sooooo much better than renting. When you buy on a fixed rate, no one is raising your rent. Sure, their might be property tax increases, but you’ll pay them as a renter as well, as that property tax cost is built into the rent. And any improvement that the landlord does to the rental is a 100% write-off on his/her taxes.

Corporate landlords came in and run like a business instead of “mom and pops” which are nice people renting out their starter home or something. This is basically the consequences of the moratoriums and tons of people warned about it because the “mom and pops” could not withstand years without pay, but corporate landlords easily could. This is basically a reap what you sow and totally foreseeable.

I didn't say ownership, I said equity to own, which would increase the number of people who can buy a home instead of having so many people pay for nothing. The landlord gets their due, but anyone paying "rent" automatically qualifies for a home. The best example would be a friend of mine, who was already paying $1,450 a month for rent, but wasn't allowed to buy a house for $895 a month because of his credit rating. "Renting" as a "concept" is a bad thing, as everyone should own the place that they call home, which is an ideal that would take a total revamping of society and humanity as we know it and would be beyond the comprehension of most of the people that I know, especially the people that make their income from renting. It could be the subject of many papers, I'm sure, but it is hard to even imagine what society would be like if everybody owned their home, as current day values, morals, and thought processes would have to completely change for that to happen. Think world peace mixed with no wanting or need and no greed or avarice. It isn't right that many humans work hard and pay their whole lives, just to end up with nothing, but I doubt that we as humans can achieve a utopian society of everyone having a home without altering our complete way of thinking and living, so nobody would be buying a house to "rent" it out, and it isn't outlawing renting, because that "concept" wouldn't exist. 💙 T.E.N.

Many, however, hated the fact that pointing out they were living beyond their means by using credit to meet their wants, was not sustainable. Cutting their want, and meeting their need, was often possible. But, they wanted THAT lifestyle so they went into debt to have it. What bills are being paid aside from rent? Want a clear picture?

They just keep increasing rent and allowing the basement to flood over and over again. Basically every time it rains more than a little bit. 😩 Renters deserve livable conditions.

I did the same for my 7 properties I had 2 years of renters not paying and now all renters will pay for those 2 years of no payments And so you know all 7 renters now are from California so I don't care or feel bad

[@1Storm6]

What if 1 had paid? Would you still let them live their at the set price? And I’ll add if you had a mortgage on any of those 7 houses you owe then you were mortgage free for awhile too. My landlords didn’t raise my rent during these trying years. I’m grateful to them every day. When we first shut down i told my landlord id still be paying rent. And I did! Throughout the years I’ve added features to the house like ceiling fans, security door, new Facets, new toilet bowl, had carpet cleaned, painted, n plan on doing more…. Yard n new screens n shutters, stove, dishwasher, etc!! It’s because When i first moved in they said…. ‘This is your home! Welcome home!’ And I love them for their wonderful kindness throughout the 10 years I’ve lived here!!

@@redankulous69 *"Capitalism is what the United States of America signed up for. No need to feel bad. Make that money"* So Stupidlak locks down the economy and imposes an eviction moratorium for close to a year. The result is massive economic loss (especially small businesses), a significant period of mass unemployment, mass rental squatting and shortages (a lot of which stems from early retirements by the boomers). However, that is the fault of "capitalism?" I guess in the lefty mind, free enterprise is responsible for everything-- even the sins of socialism.

[@littlebit344]

There should be law where owners can't raise the rent more than the cost of living annual increase. Homeowners who rent out their properties right now are just greedy.

[@jamesbizs]

Why? Why should that be a law? If people can afford that rent, that is the market rent. If no one can, then the landlord loses money. After a year of landlords literally being required to let people live in their homes for FREE, you have the nerve to say we need laws where owners can’t raise rent??? No one forced you to rent that house, in that area.

[@donh8833]

That's what's known as a rent controlled district and one of the reasons prices in NYC are so insane. Landlords jack the prices up front because they know they can't raise them at the rate they want.

[@MegaMagicdog]

Spoken by a person who undoubtedly never owned property or signed the front of a check. 1) Not all landlords are "rich". They have to maintain the property, make repairs, pay property taxes, etc. . 2) The rent moratorium allowed a lot of tenants to take advantage to not pay rent when they otherwise could. I know a fellow whose tenants did exactly that and told him they didn't have to pay him anything! Another tenant sent her thug son to threaten him because she could pay but tried to weasel out and he tried to legally evict her. 3) The property owners never got a moratorium on their costs! Whether or not the tenant paid they still had to pay the mortgage, maintainence and property taxes. Some just could handle the strain and sold out. 4) As someone who grew up in NY and is well aware of what happens when rent control is invoked, I can tell you it's a disaster. During this mess, lots of people and politicians were throwing the term around like it was a viable solution. 5) From what I understand, this guy is a grifter who also took advantage and did not pay his rent. The landowner wanted him out and had every right to get him out. He had the nerve to cry on camera about how unfair it is that he can't afford rent he chose not to pay. He even admitted he had lousy credit and had trouble getting another place. Then some woman comes along and finds him a place. I can't wait to hear if she decides to evict him eventually! 6) Ultimately, the market drives the rent, but many corporate owners (as opposed to private individual ones) are the ones raising rents to ridiculous levels (see Blackwater). In some cases they buy up entire neighborhoods and leave them empty.

[@cinnabunny6201]

And the amount of rent should be capped within a certain amt very close to actual monthly cost. I also believe that same theory should be applied to buying a house as well. And it should be even across the entire nation, no more what i call geographical discrimination. But these people just want their place back and are trying to be nice by not forcing an eviction for him to have on his rental history. Why isnt he being respectful back? An elderly blind lady, they shouldn't have to say any reason why because it is their property, but now that they have he's just exploiting the elderly and disabled. To me, this shows more about him than them on any level. And thank you sir cause it doesn't matter what it is i dont want to be involved w any part of you, people who cant take no are scary dangerous.

[@rebeccajones8830]

Ya if I owned a home that I had rented out and found myself in need of needing my home back I would hope the renters would be cool enough to just move along, I’m sure she tried the nice way at first and asked him to move along, by leaving it in a clean order like when he moved in he would get his deposits back which would help with the cost of the move.

[@01jbeals]

Lol there are other options. The first one would be an open line of communication… giving the tenant some notice and letting them know that the owner needs the home back for whatever reason.. that could have avoided this ridiculous situation. The second option is to simply file paperwork to evict, allow the tenant to respond & get their affairs in order so they can get out without any problems. Point being is that there are other options .., this one in particular seems like a really stupid way to go about things. It’s just ridiculous

[@TheBilly]

The landlords shouldn't be legally allowed to decline the assistance program. If you rent out your house it's not your personal kingdom anymore; you have accepted a new set of rules to be governed by. "Mine mine gimme back" is no excuse; this is the price you pay in order to sit back and lazily sponge passive income.

[@kaseysewick1691]

Even with increased expenses I feel this landlord is at a money grab knowing others are doing it and they can too/ trying to get the rent + get money for them to get another place if this is about having the home. They didn’t go by the 100% and chap did offer what was in legal binding of a lease which the homeowner decided to decline , by $5000… that is absurd and if you’re stating that this is basically over wanting the house back due to medical reasons, say that. Tell the tenant that and that the lease will not be renewing, don’t say $4000-8000 or get out if you can’t afford it , basically forcing them out.
