Because that building isnt supposed to be used as an apartment building. It's supposed to be commercial, therefore there isnt supposed to be any one there 24/7. As long as there are no children there (depenants) you can shut the power off. Although if you ask me, it sure looks like an apartment building to me.

If they all did pay rent,, the landlord still has to evict them because the people are living in an uninhabitable (commercial) building. I feel the landlords frustration. He still has to pay taxes and utilities and have tenants destroy his property. He has to pay to file many Notices to Quit and then individual evictions, pay someone to serve them and then wait at least 2 years to go to court for each individual apartment. There are also fees for court costs.. Then he has to chase these people for all the back rent they owe and I doubt he'd be able to collect from any of them IF he can find them all.

[@iforgotmyscreenname1]

These people won't even pay their rent, how do you expect them to pay for an attorney? Hahahaha. How about... stop doing drugs, don't lazy, get a job and pay your bills. Nah, that makes too much sense.

They need to get a lawyer and sue for relocation money.

Should've deposited their rent $$ into escrow at the civil court house dept. This is unreal in the USA when greed takes president.. The judge should arrest the owners and have them live there till the winter is over..

If you pay rent I bet things wouldn’t be as bad as they are

[@minnie5301]

Listen carefully to the reporters. Twice they said the tenants pay their rent

[@melanie7781]

It is good that the tenets are working together, because when you are united, you have a much stronger voice. They should not leave. They should reach out to a community group that can possibly assist with plumbing and reconnecting the water services.

[@peggyrobertson5132]

Can not shut off for people with breathing machines they need power could mean life or death?

[@landlordnation]

The utility companies shut it off, not the landlord. This is what happens when you don't collect rent.

[@Honeybeerose88]

They say that tenants have all the rights and landlords have basically none but that isn’t true. People can be booted due to the neglect of the landlord. The landlord can evict in weeks but tenants living with squalor caused by the landlord only have the option to pay into an escrow at court and wait. So they essentially still have to pay for the months that the property was a s***hole

[@factchecker1980]

Were any of these tenants paying rent during the eviction moratorium?

They were not paying rent. Stop demonizing landlords. I guarantee you the city cut off utilities

[@winning3329]

You must be a greedy landlord. Nowhere in the video did it say the tenants were not paying rent you just assumed. Also I hope she city and tenants sue the pants off the landlord.

[@sawyer4981]

Did you even listen? Rent is being paid & the slumlord turned off utilities regardless. Even if rent ISN'T paid, it's still illegal to turn utilities off. There are a plethora of reasons people demonize landlords, and this is one of them. Situations like this are not at all uncommon.

Its not an apartment building. Its a commercial building. You need to have occupancy permits for apattments, ans there are rules as to what constitutes an apartment, so how come no one noticed the building was being used as apartments? Parody of nightmares. Of course, they've been there for awhile...could they not be given a little time to find a suitable place? What about tiny apartments, like in New York, in these areas? Better than outside.

SHAME ON U !!! Help them ASAP and NOT A SHELTER take some of the money the tax payers money u get paid and get them a motel rooms on ur tab!!!

[@mayalunics4740]

I doubt most of them are paying rent since covid started. Therefore you have a squatter situation. The landlord most likely is trying to clear out the property and they don't have anywhere to go.
