Rented my units from Craigslist with no problems; I've learned a few things. 1) credit score. 2) no co-signers. 3) do month to month. 4) Lastly, don't take those who are desperate and willing to throw money at you right away.

[@AArrad]

Yeah this video might have netted Graham like $5-7 per thousand views due to the educational content, as well as high amount of ads due to a long ass video, and everyone watching the full thing. So you basically have him net $2-4 thousand dollars from this. So the total educational experience would cost him 4 grand in reality. Maybe in the future, if he doesn't fear the tenant could do anything, he could sue the tenant with the proof of damage for the entirety of lost rent.

It depends what actually has happened. It's called a civil debt in most scenarios for the rental payments and damage. All the threats can be dealt with criminal charges but the landlords don't won't to bother with court and possible repercussions.

Benzene I kind of understand that, but I understand first hand that credit scores don’t always reflect a bad tenant. My credit score was 530 because I hadn’t established any credit

[@sweetzs100]

Benzene This sucks because I have a credit score in the 500’s due to the most irresponsible mother who only cared about shopping name brand and designer and couldn’t maintain her bills. My mother screwed her own credit and then moved on to mine. When I was 18 I hadn’t yet figured out how important credit was so she of course forced me to open up a credit union and bank account under my name for her. She also put numerous bills such as phone, internet and cable bills under my name. I now have terrible credit because of her. I am the most responsible young adult. I pay all of my bills on time and have 20k in savings due to my own discipline. My mother taught me what not to do. All throughout my childhood I had to deal with being evicted, living without electricity or water due to being shut off for non payment. Moving constantly due to evictions and having to leave behind school friends, all while my mom had the most expensive clothes, sun glasses, purses, jewelry, shoes etc. all funded by her drug dealer husband. I’m 22 years old and when I decided to get a car, move out, apply for credit cards etc. it was the most miserable experience because to lenders I seem like an irresponsible, untrustworthy person when in reality I couldn’t be any more opposite. The one experience that really took a toll on me was finding my own place to finally escape my moms irresponsibility. My current place I was originally denied for due to my credit and I literally cried on the phone to the landlord because I knew I could afford it and knew I would NEVER pay rent late or disrespect the property as I am a clean freak. I started crying because I couldn’t believe that my moms actions were continuously affecting my life. Thankfully the landlord took a chance with me and I’m now 9 months into my lease with not one missed or late payment. I understand that landlords have to be careful when dealing with people who have credit scores in the 500’s but I wish they would take it on a case by case basis and learn everyone’s story.

[@mysticaltyger2009]

Yeah, but he wasn't paying on time. That was the first problem.

[@SkashTheKitsune]

Australia has something called the "blacklisted tenants" it's where in extreme cases the tenants are put on that list for 7 years, that is accessible to real estate agents, once the 7 years have elapsed the person can apply to be removed from that list. That list saved millions of dollars in damages and has saved heartache through tenants rampaging through peoples savings one at a time. any lies on an application for tenancy is considered fraud. The black list is national, not just for the state. I have watched to the very end

[@KeithPickeringGuy]

Happy Fox What the hell are they supposed to do for shelter if they're blacklisted?

[@TheBinchoutan]

Keith Pickering I’m sure there are people who rent to people blacklisted, but they probably have to pay more per month, a higher security deposit and probably have to have regular checkups to the property.

[@download351]

So the sad thing is that you CAN be blacklisted in Australia (even if its your housemates that don't pay/do the damage etc) but there's a stringent set of rules that must be followed for blacklisting. It changes depending on the state, but they have to provide you with the name of the company that's controlling the list (it's a private listing, not state/government held) and what you can do about it prior to the listing. There's also a lot of information on what can and can't result in a listing, but you have to know to look for it and have the confidence to back yourself up. I would imagine a lot (obviously not all) of lower income folk get stung with this. And I know for a fact that it gets used as a threatening tool by crappy real estates such as Ray White. You can also apply through the courts to have the listing removed if it's unfair or unreasonable. So yes, the lists do exist but for the educated and empowered individual, if you're being listed unfairly it can be removed with a little effort. However the majority of people who do get listed either don't understand or don't realise the implications of the listing and will sometimes not fight it if they have an unreasonable or unfair landlord because they don't know their rights. Long and the short of it is that it exists... But it gets abused far too often and the education and experience level of the person/s being listed will dictate whether or not a spiteful agent will list you for spurious reasons.

[@JeffreyOsb]

So what happens to people when they're on that list and they need to find a place to live? They just go homeless?

[@ariaalexandria3324]

It's probably similar to people with eviction records. When someone is a nightmare tenant or doesn't pay rent, landlords shouldn't be obligated to rent to them just because the person needs somewhere to live. There are definitely people who will still rent to them, but they're going to have to work harder to find those places and probably pay more. It's a consequence of their actions.

“He would pay 3-4 weeks late but as long as he paid his rent on time”...

[@MrAnimus]

This was driving me crazy. What does he think "on time" means?!

[@mwbrazier]

Because of the security deposit Graham can always use that to pay the mortgage for one month. So if the guy is 3 weeks late on rent, the mortgage can be paid by using the security deposit & then the security deposit will be replenished later that same month when the guy finally pays his rent. This process could repeat every month & as long as he's never more than 30 days late on the rent, it won't cause Graham to be late on his mortgage payment. I assume that this is what he meant, but I did think it sounded strange for him to keep saying it in the way that he did.

Usually landlords mortgage is due a week or 2 after the rent is due (usually for this exact reason). So its on time for graham but not for the tenant.

"LARGE" guns don't mean anything. A .25 ACP is something you don't want to get shot with. Nine .25s and you're dead. A .38 or 9mm will tear you up. Let the management company handle it. They have connections with the police and local government. Had some squatters once. Turned out they had felony warrants (no surprise!). Cops shot up the building, shot the windows out. Badguys shinnied down the power conduits on the back side and escaped.

[@Swordsman52]

I mean pets are more likely to cause damage to the property than a pile o' guns on the kitchen counter. Buuuttt there's a question on the 4473 form that asks if you are a user of Marijuana so yeah he straight up was committing a federal firearms felony in the house.

[@CaptainCocaine]

The guns are the only thing I wouldn't have a problem with. Dogs destroy flooring and walls. Smoking destroys EVERYTHING.

[@BladeRaid]

@@algrayson8965 honestly .25 acp isn't bad and isn't great probably one of the worse self defense calibers out there, and 9 mm is the most common caliber out there for most pistols. I would say any bullet can kill, but if were talking about a penetration caliber for a pistol .45 acp or .50 cal would do some serious dmg. This statement doesn't matter has nothing to do with the tenant just giving my knowledge on calibers.

I went through a similar experience with a tenant in metro Atlanta. The house was trashed, but did not have the drug issues as your tenant. Since then, I use tenant background services to check tenants and make them pay $50 cash upfront. No problems since 1998. Hard lesson to learn. Now, I only have small commercial properties; small retail strip mall, with 3-5 stores (pizza house, liquor store, nail salon). I have stable tenants, who last 10-20 years, pay on time, no issues.
