The Eviction Process: The Confessions of a Maintenance Man

On almost every eviction there are complaints about maintenance not doing their jobs. On this eviction, one of the maintenance men is doing the setout and he agrees with the tenant. Evictions aren't funny, but this was funny.

If they don’t pay rent, then why don’t they have money and when do they realize if you don’t pay, you can’t stay??

If she's on section 8, she can find a better place to live. Holes in the floor, mold and critters didn't become a problem overnight! Something doesn't jive because if she still has section 8, even if her income is high enough that she doesn't get a subsidy, they still do inspections because the house has to qualify.

[@Trips1-u5u]

[@GodsChild1159]

She will have a hard time qualifying for section 8 with an eviction on her record

do 'NOT' be a lifelong renter. begin saving every nickel, dime, and quarter when right out of high school, or when college is completed before a lifestyle of 'spending' takes hold and then followed up with feeling sorry for oneself and claiming I'll never become a stakeholder and the world's cheated me. every shekel 'must' be saved, no splurging for restaurant or clothes and that car better have 250,000 miles on it. You help yourself and rest assured others will be there for you. not intended to sound harsh or uncaring but get yourself into such a 'cycle' early in life and it gets easy from there on out...

[@lindagallaway-moore4158]

But ultimately, the renters have only themselves to blame. If they weren't paying rent, that money could have been set aside for a new place. If you withhold rent due to maintenance issues, you have to save that rent in escrow or a bank account in order to pay later when issues resolved. This money ìs still due and can help in negotiations. 😊

[@fredam1887]

You told her right, it is time for her to go. She pays below market rent for a place that the landlord will not keep up because he can’t afford to pay for upkeep with a little rent she pays.

[@Denise-di3jy]

NOT TRUE!

[@kayfurlano1462]

@@Denise-di3jy, there may be some truth on both sides. If she doesn’t keep the house in order or clean, the chances of her reporting things to be fixed go down because she doesn’t want the landlord to see the mess she has made on the property. Also, she won’t report any things to be fixed if she has more people living in the house that shouldn’t be there. She put up with this for 8 years, I think it more on her than a slumlord.

[@kayfurlano1462]

I was a mail carrier for 26 years and I love dogs but not when working. The owners don’t realize how any size dog can be so protective of their owners when strangers are in their territory. Constantly having owners leashing their dogs out the front door instead of the back door. Opening up the door to meet me and the dog getting through their legs. Having just a screen door between me and the dog and the dog able to jump up and unlatch the door handle to get out with no owner in sight. Allowing the dog to roam their property without a fenced in yard or worse when they are in the yard with the dog but unleashed. A lot of dog owners were without their mail delivery for a few days until they corrected the issue. People are stupid especially concerning their responsibility for owning a dog.
