Yes I was hoping the housing market was going to crash and people could get into a house cheap, I still remember when it crashed in 2008, there were deals everywhere, brand new homes going for like 89k to 94k, my coworker bought a home for 94k brand new, those real estate investors were snatching everything up. She had bidding wars with some of them but managed to get a house...it paid off for her because she paid the house off completely, now all she pays is property taxes and insurance 😉 wish I had done this , I'm currently paying 1300 in rent and now they are adding 500 on top of that. I think all she paying monthly is something like 85 dollars a month, she uses her income taxes to pay the property taxes

[@tarshagreene4661]

I currently live in Jacksonville Florida and I paid my rent every single month then all the sudden during the pandemic my hours got cut and I ended up getting rental assistance through the city of Jacksonville Florida and also through our florida. Just last week my landlord sent me a letter in the mail stating that I have 60 days to leave and that they are not renewing my lease. I understand that there are some people who did not do right by the landlords by not paying their rent knowing that they was able to. But it's not fair for them to take it out on us tenants who did do what's right and paid our rent like we were supposed to and we fell on Hard Times. I just pray for everybody who's going through this that God will see them through.

Edit: P.S. it is nice to see people standing up for landlords that lost tons of money, not to mention properties, because people did not pay during the plandemic.

Maybe YOU should grow a fkg conscience.

Ray’s property was sold. Maybe the new landlord wants to renovate. Or maybe even live there themselves. I have a hunch it’s one of those things. Property owners have the right to do those things.

You can literally drag that court on for 2 years and them two years I'd save up your money to find a different place to live but you can draw out court for a long long time

RENTERS HAVE LITTLE TO NO RIGHTS IN FLORIDA. I WAS JUST EVICTED OUT OF A HOME I RENTED FOR 10 YEARS AND WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BUYING. THE LANDLORD REFUSED TO MAKE REPAIRS FOR THE HOUSE TO PASS INSPECTION. I WAS SERVED WITH NOTICE TO MOVE IN 30 DAYS. IT WAS A F-IN NIGHTMARE !!! IM 64, SLEEPING ON A FRIENDS COUCH AND PAYING 350.00 IN STORAGE FEES WHILE ON A WAITING LIST AT AN APARTMENT COMPLEX. I LIVE IN NORTH FLORIDA..... THE LANDLORDS ARE DOING THIS TO ALL RENTERS......ITS DEVASTATING.

"did I do something wrong?". Lmfao, ya, you were free loading while the govt took care of you. Why is everybody so lazy? Just pay your bills and everything else will fall into place my guy.

Bro it's not that simple the old landlord sold to a new landlord, and the new one wanted double the money. Housing in America is a f****** piece of shit, it's not anymore about paying your bills it's about the rich and wealthy get a place to say and the middle class gets thrown into the dirt, ah yes the real American dream

You are right, people want to freeload while they pretend to be scared of the virus so they don't have to go to work anymore, they need to become homeless so that they may come to appreciate having a place to rent.

[@hermanrogers1325]

And so the landlord collected 15-20 years of rent and now the renter has paid off the mortgage again and now the landlord wants him out so he can sell the property again or he wants to fix it up and rent it out for double the money

[@dcg590]

How do you know the mortgage is paid and what does that have to do with him paying? Whether or not the landlord has a mortgage or not is NOT the issue. No one gets free housing. If he doesn’t want to pay rent buy your own house. It’s no one’s job to house you. Grow up. And so what if he wants to make money. Owning property is a business for profit like any other business.

Smart landlord. If you could, I am sure you would do it to.

@@dcg590 yep that’s right and so zelle and all the other cash apps everything is a business including our lives is a business so we should run our business of life with the best decision we can so 23 years ago I got tired of paying rent moving looking for a lower cost so I bought a house in 99 and 19 I payed it off 20 year loan best decision I could have made in my business life now my net worth has increased near a quarter million dollars.
