“COVID didn’t crush the economy. Government did.”
She's special, all right!
Happens a lot.
Every person I have known that has rental properties has a horror story like this or worse................
Animals.
Feral animals.
Lots of angry people in this world.
I volunteered to read for a blind woman who owned rental property in Texas. The tenants would trash her move upon move out knowing they were doing far more damage than the cost of the deposit.
Meanwhile, the Democrats have been stripping away any screening measures owners had in place claiming they were discriminatory. Owners have very little protection now against bad renters - and the renters know this.
Having rentals is normal times is hard enough. Sell and get out of that business.
Another rippling effect of the pandemic and the renter moratoriums, or economic safety nets offered by the government. Formerly responsible adult renters revert to childish tantrums when forced to pay or go.
I guess they don’t care about their Credit Ratings either.
That ‘burn it all down, Man!’ attitude will cost them in the future.
In my much younger years just out of college I was a property manager for a company that had about 75 buildings in a college town. I dreaded the yearly turnover. It was disgusting. Hardly anyone got their security money back because we’d have cleaners in nearly every unit charging premium rates because there were too few cleaners for that 2 week turnover. And the college girls were absolutely no better than the boys. It was that job that solidified that I would never be a landlord. Or if I did, I would need to be allowed to be exceptionally selective.
Screening of potential tenants is everything.
government never should of stepped in with telling a home owner he cant evict...this is the reason there is few low end apartments being built in California privately. all it takes is one bad renter to destroy any profits made by the unit and there is also the liability of renting to the person.
I’ve owned a rental property for four years now. I have a property management company that prescreens and qualifies my tenets. Deadbeats do not get in.
In addition I have insurance that will pay for damages if any should occur.
There are stories of squatters renting out rooms while paying the owners nothing.
Something similar happened to my brother, but it was back in 1972. A welfare queen renter tore the place up after he got her evicted for non-payment. That’s the way moochers are. Scum.
“.....but can’t take place until the federal moratorium expires June 30.”
At that point it hits the fan big time!
I can't understand how the "moratorium" doesn't violate the 5th Amendment . . . nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation. A taking by regulation is the same as a taking in title.
That renter needs to be publicly identified and sanctioned.
The idiots who decreed that tenants didn’t have to pay rent are responsible for this. They knew this would happen. The government does not have the right to invalidate the terms of a valid contract. I don’t care who decreed it.
So the trash got the place rent free, and to thank the owner, trashed the place. There is zero chance the owner will get the back rent.
This proves the left hates private property, and is in process of eliminating it. First, they have to keep you from benefiting from your property. They they force you to let others benefit. Then they take it from you.
This is not going to happen. It’s already happening.
Smoke the renter’s credit score to the tune of repairs and headache fee.
