Why Landlords Lose in Eviction Court

It's funny how rich utility companies can terminate services for non payments without due court process but relatively modest workingman landlords hands are tied with not being able to terminate their commodity...their apartments

[@Tim85-y2q]

Utility shut offs are also incredibly regulated in any jurisdictions though. In general, any time you're dealing with something that's a basic need, you're going to be dealing with greater degrees of regulation. That's just a reality of the business, one one that people need to carefully consider before they get into it.

... why ask all the slumland lords who are causing all the problems......

[@jamesgiroux7619]

I guess then my basic need to pay my mortgage and not become eventually evicted from my then former home don't count ? Tentants who will eventually get evicted and never in reality pay arrears rent get a record of that that may affect temporarily ability to rend and credit but that too shall pass....building owner however still be on the hook for arrears mortgage or home and investment eventually foreclosed on.....One thing Federal Cares Act did not address was this loophole where tenant is the party that's needed to apply for rent payments to landlords. Landlords not able to initiate this and if tenants employment not displaced by covid then everyone all around be screwed

[@jamesgiroux7619]

When does a tenant get to decide they gonna "withhold " rent cause their is a leaky faucet or they seen ant? Slumlord my ass...Ask many of the "professional" tenants why they rented the "slumlords" property months earlier...not every building got the advantage of being brand new...

[@jamesgiroux7619]

I agree...so what your saying is I should rent my 2 apartments for free or whenever it's convenient so I get behind on my mortgage and have to rent myself to become at the mercy of the system...maybe no one should own any property and we all move to Russia and let state own all property and dictate where everyone lives and the doctor who works his butt off going to school can't expect a better standard of living than the lazy ditch digger?...don't think there's an easy answer but spreading financial issue from renter to owner who is also basically renting his future title from bank till its paid should be on the hook for others

I am existing at this time within a unbelievable situation. I live in a 33 unit Apt. complex the mangers may or may not also be the owners (both have been told to tenants depending on mangers advantage at the given time) The only thing I will say about them is they are very good at running the complex with intimidation to instill fear that I have lived with this past year, don't want this to go too long so here are the high points. I was never given a first notice to correct or leave just the you are evicted, nothing on why, found it was for having a overnight guest, when told the lease is vague on the subject plus I don't believe that is enforceable only the amount of nights a overnight guest may stay. That was a year ago, since then I have always been screamed at, not yelled at "in my face screamed at" with threats and/or insults, was told I could no longer can park within the gates, our mail is collected and received by them(no mailbox) within office hours of 9:00 to 3:30 but mine has been stamped "return to sender" so I get no mail, a 24 hour notice that was just for looking for every little thing to scare me, I was pushed to the ground when one of many in my face "we know she lives with you" scream fest took place , other tenants avoid me now due to avoid any retaliations and I can't blame them. there is so much more but what I really wasted to say was thank god for the Tenant protection bill of 2019 if not for that, I don't know if I would have challenged them and there method's of management for myself and the other tenants. Oh an FYI, been here 9 years, never been late on rent, never a noise complaint, never had anyone spend a night since the notice but will challenge it in court.

We are dealing with a manager who will not except your rent on a space for a mobil home in a 55 senior park. After 8 months of being concerned has the sheriff remove you from a home you own but she lied to The sheriff to evict of non payment and didn't include she wouldn't except it. So she steals your home for less than 8,000 dollars, and wants to sell it for 160 000. She had the senior removed and out on the sIde walk and broke into his home and had her crew help them selves to his personal property day after day. Had his car removed from his driveway he hadn't Bern to court yet and wasn't notified of any court date or time. This sounds like criminal activity Can you givwe me your advice on this situation ?

Last year my landlord told my wife and I that he would NEVER raise the rent ever again since we have been here 16+years, and were his best renters he ever had. Well 3 months ago we get a letter from his wife saying the rent was going up $100'00! When we reminded him about the promise he made he said he would NEVER say something like that! When work needs done on the house he hires drug addicts, and thieves! Most don't have a clue how to fix things, and he still pays them, and then have to send someone else to fix it. He sent 2 guys to put gutters up 2 years ago, and no one has come back to fix them. They had NEVER put gutters up before! He never sends a real electrician, or plumber to fix things either!

Come on I’ve shopped at the same grocery store forever never gave them any trouble always paid on time how dare they raise prices for me when I’m such a good and loyal shopper…sounds ridiculous dosent.

I myself don't feel the landlord should be raising the rent if their not not making the place safe and habitable. They put no money into these places, they come over and are rude. they let bad tenants get away with everything just because they pay their rent every month on time. If they cant fullfill their obligations as a landlord then they don't deserve anything. we have been through shootings, rats caused be the bad neighbor and yet the piece of garbage is still here.

The landlord came relayed he was very sorry did not realize how bad the issues were. he walked me to another unit stating if i switched units this would address the mold, nuisance etc. they stated everything would transfer over etc. fast forward 195 days later i received 30 day (no reason) notice to vacate stating i am a new tenant in spite being on the property 7 plus years.

How many times do they get to restart the false eviction process because they don't have a strong case for pushing the eviction through and every restart just forces the tenant to spend more money on legal support to prove the landlord is doing something illegal?

The advection notice did not state that I owed any money and that they just wanted me and family to move out. I was told that a landlord cannot evict a tenant to get them out of the house because they’re selling the property & with the house/property for sale. One big bad thing, my wife and I couldn’t find a place to move yet so I had to file an answer to a five day notice which cost me $450 to file in court and $40 for Sheriff service so total out of my pocket was $490. The day after I filed an answer, her realtor called me to notify me that the property was sold and the new landlords would be happy for me to stay there and continue paying rent, this was the day after I filed the five day notice/court costs. I sent two letters to my landlord requesting that they refund my court fees of $490 And yet to have an answer back. I feel the landlord had the house being purchased and failed to inform me then the transaction was in the process and final the day after I spent the court cost fees answer to five day. I feel like I should get my money back, she sold the property for $190,000.

There is no reason for all this BS with coddling these renters. Repeat he's been there four months. He's 29 yrs old and acting like he's homeless and destitute if I "kick him out. Lease is up in June but lawyer tells me it how long he stays has nothing to do with when the lease ends. WHAT? Renters, you're living in someone else's property.

Our property managers are so money hungry, stupid and greedy! I stay in a apartment complex & they bought the company that we previously had and went up on rent which is not worth the cost of these apartments, we now have to pay online, NO EXCEPTIONS which is also a fee. charging everyone a trash fee & also pest control fee. And we NEVER had to pay for that. sometimes they will have fees added to our rent that they can’t even explain the reasoning... Also, if someone wants to do a month to month lease, they’ll add a extra $250 a month on top of your rent. if you’re a day late paying rent, they will add a $100 late fee PLUS a $100 eviction fee! For the ppl who have been staying over here for years can’t even get up to date appliances etc but they can remodel the vacant apartments with literally BRAND NEW everything....

What difference does it make whether a landlord could afford to pay market value on their property? Let's say they have a duplex, and they decided to rent out the two units to the public, and they undoubtedly priced the unit(s) at a market rate similar to others in the area. Honestly, I have seen other people say something like what you just asked, and it makes no sense to me. What difference does it make? Let's say. Landlord #1 bought his duplex in 1976 for $60k, and paid it off in 2006. No mortgage, and taxes from 1976 (about $1000/yr) thanks to Prop 13. Landlord #2 bought his duplex in 2023 for $760k, and has a $4000/mo payment. Units now worth $850. Taxes $7500 a year. Both of them charge the market rate for the units, which is $2500 a month (x2 since it's a duplex) Landlord #1 is making about 95% profit and Landlord #2 making less than 5% (I haven't actually done math just an estimate) Do you think that Landlord #1 should be renting his unit for less and Landlord #2 for more? No. Why would they? They can try but no one will rent if it's too expensive, and if it's too inexpensive, he'll have a massive pile of losers trying to apply and way too many people to sift thru. Whether or not he has a mortgage and how much it is has no bearing on what the market rate is for the unit. You charge what people are paying for a comparable unit. Period.

A lot of landlords are evil as well. That’s why there are certain laws in place. Last apartment I was at the place completely flooded. Reached out to my landlord multiple times I never heard back from her. The ceiling was literally collapsing. After a while, they finally came to tear down the ceiling and a wall, left it like that for a couple of weeks. Never bothered to help me while I was in this mess never replied to any of my emails. I was completely living in squalor had to get the city involved. Finally she got to moving with the repairs. She ended up having a some random person who doesn’t know anything about repairing walls and putting up a ceiling so it just looks like a hot mess. All to save a penny.

The best thing to do is just simply sell your apartment building and invest the proceeds in the stock market where you don't have to worry about low class tenants not paying rent or damaging a building / unit and not paying for those damages plus the profits in the stock market are in most cases far greater than what you can make owning a rental house or apartment building.

Any number of situations can result in an eviction going through without prejudice. If you had a tenant that owed you 2 years worth of rent, and was able to somehow file a judgment against you, and use that judgment money that you didn't pay them, as their rent money. Let's say they use it all up and empty a cash register. Now they start accruing new debt. Let's say they haven't allowed the landlord into the property for 20 months, they have a dog that is not allowed, other renting adults that are not allowed, nobody's paying rent at all, that tenant keeps finding code violations that they caused themselves, and you suspect them of dealing drugs out of the apartment day and night and have video proof of them tampering in the other tenants mailboxes. Do you just let them take rent from you indefinitely cuz what? They're cute? At what point in time is a judge supposed to find for your landlord when you're pulling shit like that? I have this tenant that is using the police department to file vexatious litigation against the landlord and his family, to hold stuff up. When it comes down and she runs out of this judgment that the landlord was supposed to pay her, instead of paying her, she used it for her rent payments for the last 2 years. It's time to go!!!

Hmm what about a tenant that is a defaulter for not paying rent in 3 years,they did this before lockdown.Due to the restrictions implemented by government they aren't allowed to be evicted.I believe landlords should send their monthly statements to the government officials everytime they introduce a lockdown,as these laws are unjust to property owners around the world. The property doesn't belong to the tenant they pay rent to use the premises. Breaches contract for rent not being paid on time. This tenant has debt from a previous landlord. What to do in this case I'm pretty sure this tenant abuses the law.

[@fhenlizhao5406]

They don’t care. They should have paid relief directly to landlords instead of going through the city. If your state allows you can evict eventually after legal headaches, property damage, stress if foreclosure doesn’t happen first. If you do get a money judgment you have to chase them for maybe 20yrs. The tenants will proudly tell you that they will help you to lose your property.
