Yeah speaking of poo poo landlords shaun hannity does that. I wasnt aware that was such a racket but he has like one of the highest eviction rates in the country. He uses some management company that just bullies the gently caress out of people as a matter of course and its apparently pretty profitable if you go big and just hire a lawyer to full time evict everyone for anything at all and laugh at their lawyers who come after you. Like if you fight they just pay up and move on it works more often than not its very profitable. Eventually the attorney general will get fed up with bullshit like that and bar you from the state but they can just fold and rename themselves like they always loving do. Ocwen did this, barred from doing business in 28 states and counting for illegal forclosures and evictions. The creators of this company are currently serving as the head of sec treasury and sec of commerce steve mnuchin and wilbur ross. Ahahaha.

Best renting experience was when we lived in a basement unit. The landlord and her family lived upstairs, but we never heard them (even with two small children and the husband staying home all day) and they never heard us. Brand new appliances, huge spa style tub with Jets, super thick insulation in the walls an ceiling that was installed before we moved in. Her husband was from Colombia and would regularly bring us delicious food because he "always makes too much." That place kicked all sorts of rear end.

I wouldn't say it was the best, because the apartment was old and kind of cruddy, but I had a 1st-floor, 1-bedroom apartment literally a stone's throw from the Boston city line for $480 a month, which is just an obscenely low rent for that area in general, much less a walk-in with such an amazing location (dead quiet side street, 2 blocks in either direction from 2 branches of the trains). The landlord barely ever showed up, and the apartment above me was vacant for probably half of the 5-6 years I was there.

If there's a main sewer backup you're the one that gets all the poo poo. Just something to keep in mind.

Me and two buddies were renting this house for about 5 years. Decided to call it quits when one of them got engaged and just stopped coming back to the house one day bat to pick up his TV and Xbox. Put in our 4 week notice. 2 weeks later its my birthday and we have a bit of a party. Nothing wild, but y'know, the next day there's tins and pizza boxes all over the floor, I'm hung over in me undies playing XBox. The door goes and there's some sleazy kid in a suit, real Patrick Bateman yuppy vibe to him and he says he's there on behalf of the landlady to asses the house. I tell him we haven't been informed of this and it wasn't a good time, but between feeling rough as a dog's arsehole and him all but insinuating he'd break in with a spare key regardless I just let him do his thing. Goes around snapping pictures of the house in a state of semi-abandonment with all this party debris over the place making these passive-aggressive, "Oooh, that doesn't look good, does it?" remarks. Well, whatever, the pictures will look bad but we're working men in our late thirties, we're not kidders and by the time we do leave the house is spotless, we shampooed the carpets and all that. Whatever. Didn't hear back from the landlady. Didn't get the deposit back (but I reckoned they'd find some excuse anyway so I always saw that as a write-off anyway. Until about 4 months later. We received an e-mail from the landlady's representative saying we owe 5000 quid's worth in damages. and that the entire bathroom needs replacing. He also included HER e-mail which read like something from an abuse trial. She was pouring her heart out about how horrified she'd been when she went around to view the house after we'd been there. How traumatised she'd been and how she may never rent the place out again and the like. Either we pay up immediately or we'd be taken to court. Absolutely no idea what she's talking about. Some of the sealing around the tub had come away, that's all I can think about when it comes to the bathroom. five grand ON TOP of the grand deposit too, by the way. We get together to talk about it and the lad who had moved out told us it was an old trick. It was about 2 months to Christmas and he reckoned she was just trying to get a few quid out of us, hoping we'd cave and just hand over the dosh so she could get some Christmas shopping done. We decided to ignore them until we got a proper summons from the court which never appeared. Until the end it was fine though. Never even saw her, but then out of nowhere. BAM! Tries to rinse us for 5 grand. Scum.

Thankfully that never happened, the bathtub did fall through the floor at one point though! OXBALLS DOT COM posted:Break-ins and peeping toms too There were bars on the windows, but they were incredibly unnecessary. I often left my front door unlocked if I was just going to the sueprmarket or laundromat. I actually literally cannot remember a police car ever being on my street in the 5ish years I was there!

Do it ironically posted:ive never felt sad and never will for any landlord who gets their property destroyed I understand this sentiment but the majority of homes my family owns were blighted out pieces of poo poo that I and a crew made rehabitable so it sucks to see when you personally did joist repairs, put in new kitchens, redid plumbing etc all for it to get shat on. It's like some people want houses to naturally be shitholes.

When my one year lease was ending, the company sent me a letter saying I could re-sign for a year for X% increase, go six months at a higher % increase, or go month to month at like, a 10% increase. I never responded to the letter. My rent never increased.

Also I told a bunch of people that still live there what happens so hopefully at least the neighbors I was friends with get their money back as well.

When I first moved out of my parents house I moved into an apartment complex where they would accept checks early but not cash them until the end of the month. Like they would have a date you needed to have a check for them but they wouldn’t cash it until later because they knew some people (like me at 18) would only get paid at the end of the month. It was obviously because they were aware most of us were poor and they had a guarantee of payment over our head that they could sue over if we didn’t actually have the funds Well one of the days they cashed the check mid month days after I put it in and it was a disaster and the poor new accountant guy dealing with their poo poo had no idea and was wide eyed and emotional about it while I was almost crying and he obviously felt like poo poo cause I was like $1200 in the hole and couldn’t afford food or anything

" Ex-employee this is the facts about this company Elon Slumlords is what they are. They treat employees unfaily speak to resident any bad way possible all they want is the money. The company will not repair fix anything in the units some units have bad roof issues to the point rain water is on the residents bed, how bad is that? All the properties are below 79% they charge late fees on the second no greace period on top of $2.00 per day which is illegal. Higher management will speak talk down on employees (EEOC) they do things under the table, they tell you to lie about numbers when processing application credit report input incorrect information just to move that resident in. Some residents files have no signed contract the company don't have legal leases, the residents employment verification forms incomplete upper managment will tell you to put something together. This has to be the worst company I've ever worked for and will never work for ever again!"

I pay rent in cash, don't have a lease, my landlord is an old guidance counselor named Dennis I can pay late if my paychecks come at a weird time, he only shows up to grab money or fix stuff, and he doesn't care what we do as long as we try to keep down on rodents the place is a weird former punk house, and some of the old housemates were kinda lovely, but also I was homeless before I moved in 2.5 years ago and it's been pretty loving sweet since find rooms in house show kinda houses y'all, they're dirt cheap and always interesting

Where I live there’s a shortage of housing so naturally landlords/Property managers have started putting on tenancy application forms essentially a ‘how much rent are you willing to pay to secure this property (above the advertised p/w rent)’ line in order to extract maximum money from desperate people/families I know good one exist but gently caress landlords

So finished cleaning up today, looks like some water must have leaked in from somewhere because everything in the spare bedroom closet was wet and had mold on it. I'm really glad their housing structure allowed us to live in such quality. They will probably charge us for that too.
