[@TheAray6]

It seems like the defendant wanted to give the money back but it wasn’t up to her it was up the actual owner of the property and her contract as a manager. She says to Doug when he say why didn’t you just give the money back and she say trust me as if she was going to say trust me I wanted to but didn’t. she just said there is so much I want to say but can’t. I think she was alluding to the contract she has with the landlord and can’t disclose those details on television. And there might be other things going on low income families maybe some of them gang involved and getting them evicted has also been a struggle.

Her & her son shouldn’t have to live like this 💯

[@mmmfun77]

Poor woman was terrorized . My dad had two apartments years ago in CA. Some do trash the place when leaving after sitting there for at least 3 months rent free because evictions take time. In CA the courts are pretty much for the tenants. What could have been a decent investment gradually became a nightmare. Not charging a security deposit is on her. I’ve never heard of such a thing but she probably thinks no rent is better than nothing. Ridiculous. I am 52 now and I remember when dad finally sold those two buildings. When the last one went through escrow the look of relief on his face was priceless as if 1000 lbs of weight fell off. People assume the owners/ landlords are rich and can take the blow. They are wrong. For many this is what puts food on the table, pays the taxes and fees just having rentals, etc. For some it is a life’s dream to acquire a rental property…. Just saying

[@judaciac1541]

Many landlords take in monthly income and do very little work, other than calling the plumbing every once in a while. It is by no means like a refular 40 hour a week job. I feel little sympathy for them

[@synnove1046]

Landlords take on ALL the risk. The average landlord doesn’t come from a wealthy background, and many are from very humble beginnings. Many work very hard to save up the down payment for their first rental and often do a lot of DIY rehab on their properties, often on nights and weekends while working a regular 40 hour week at their day jobs. They and their families often live frugally for years in order to save for down payments on future rentals, because their rentals are an investment for their retirement, in the same way that IRA’s and 401k’s are. But a lot of landlords are people who prefer owning actual property rather than stock market funds because they feel like it’s safer. (I don’t necessarily agree.) At some point they are able to ease up on saving because they’ve (hopefully) built up some equity in their first rental units, so they use that equity to put a down payment on the next rental they want to buy. Then they repeat the process until they have enough to retire. And retiring doesn’t always mean that they just sit around relaxing. Many do all of the property management: all of the repairs & improvements inside and out, landscaping, collecting rent, book keeping, finding & screening prospective tenants, etc. They have to pay the mortgage even if the tenant doesn’t pay or if the rental sits empty because there is no one renting the unit. If a tenant falls behind in rent it can take months to evict them and the landlord might not ever get paid back for the missed rent. Some renters cause a lot of damage that exceeds the damage deposit. Or even if the damages are covered by the deposit it may take extra time to finish them, along with any cleaning to get the place ready to rent again. So again, no income during that time.

[@judaciac1541]

@synnove1046 oh please; if being a landlord wasn't good enough income, you wouldn't do it. Period. Lol

How is she responsible for the theft that occurred due to the landlord’s negligence after she turned over the keys? Clean that building up. Sounds like a fucking dump.

Defendant’s logic makes no sense. She says it’s not worth it to collect security since it’s too much trouble to chase them so she just asks for first and last month’s rent. But, she could have asked for first and last month’s rent and security which is very common.

[@juliecranford534]

I believe she said she rents in low-income areas, and tenants are unable to come up with 1st, last, and security. So she just does first and last because it’s a 7-month lease which then goes to month-to-month. Unless they fulfill the 7 months and then give 30 days notice, she gets to keep the last month’s rent to pay for damages. That’s much easier than tracking them down and getting them an itemized list of damages in the allotted time (which is only 14 days in Florida, I think?).
