Because landlords are all hyper wealthy, predatory scum. They deserve it. At least this is the view of many tenants who get legislators to do their bidding.

This is exactly the kind of stuff i was thinking of in @Doc8404 ’s thread about being a landlord. Being a landlord in ny is simply too risky.

I know you’re not serious but the article specifically states those with 6 units or less are the most effected. No surprise.

I was a landlord about 5 years ago. I got out because I saw the writing on the wall, not in the form of covid, but in the form of attitude of the public and political reps towards landlords.

I never really had many problems but I was a picky and no bs landlord. First last and sec deposit up front in full - all or nothing. No money, no keys. If you can't pony up 3 months you can't afford it. Proper background and employment checks. I'd be at the unit 15 mins before the showing for new renters. I'd meet them at their car and shake their hand. Not because I wanted to be nice... but because I wanted to look inside their car. Food wrappers and garbage strewn about = you don't respect your property so you won't respect mine which means no apartment for you. Yeah I'd show you the unit and give you an application for rent, but I'd make a private note not to rent to you. Speaking of the application. It was long and detailed and called out that it must be complete in full or the application was void. I used this to weed out people legally that I just didn't want to rent to for whatever reason. At least 90% didn't complete it in full so if I got a whiff of 'deadbeat', well it was just so sad I didn't consider them due to an incomplete application. I did some other things too, but those were the biggest ones that helped keep away the leeches.

Obviously none of this would help when the govt. seizes your property and forces you to let people live there for IOUs. Works in 'normal times though.

Yes my first paragraph was a summary of how some tenants see landlords. About half the country’s landlords are mom and pop—the kind who get wrecked if they have a bad tenant who they cannot evict thanks to things like this moratorium.

I get it with not wanting to have to evict or some people were out of work, but for the Government to order that no rent be collected or evictions processed is a violation of our Rights: " No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws .... "
As far as I'm concerned, the State deprived owners of revenue and the free exercise of their property without Due Process!
Say, how does that communism taste?

Many any years ago I saw what my grandmother went through with a tenant. She almost went broke. I was in my teens then and could not do anything about it. Made up my mind that I would never be a landlord myself, ever. Too much protected scum out there.

Even if the lanlord has to park an RV/camper in the front yard.

I know I'd go to jail but I'd burn the property to the ground if my kids lost their home and I wasn't allowed to live in my property while someone that isn't paying rent is squatting there.

Not only are some landlords losing income they're getting screwed on their credit scores and having to file for bankruptcy while also losing a place to live. I think it's a safe bet that they still have to pay the taxes even though they aren't being paid rent. Probably have to keep up with the mortgage too.

There is no political gain in defending the rights of landlords so these stories will get very little press attention.

And make sure deadbeat squatter has heat, water, etc.

These are all exactly the kind of things that have been happening. Last summer I stopped paying rent to my deadbeat landlord living in Commiefornia. The septic had been overflowing into the yard for the 5 yrs while we were there and longer. My FIL was there until his passing. The cedar shake is rotting and falling off the duplex, rodents in the attic, deck falling off the back of the duplex, and the list goes on. Rona or not, my actions would have been the same. The last straw for me was when we were told the rodent invasion was "our problem." I hade the town code enforcement officer get involved and several citations were written. The siding got paint sprayed over it with new shake face screwed over the bad spots. Cheap and dirty repairs. I saved the last 6mons of rent aside. The septic still isn't fixed and the apartment is vacant. My friend owns the house next door and keeps me informed for laughs. The tenant in the other side of the duplex hasn't paid rent since the covidBS started. He's got trash all over the grounds, junk vehicles, a non running boat.......the landlord well end up loosing the place. I will never put my self in that position.

Anyhows, I used the money set aside, along with much more of my savings, to purchase the farmstead I have now. Catch 22, it comes with a 2bdr, 850 sqft house on the same property. The tenant is awesome and pays on the first like clock work. There are things that need attention on both houses but nothing major on the rental. I've never seen the inside of it. She came with the rental when the contract was signed.

In the right situation, a rental can be quite rewarding. Especially when good relations are kept with a good tenant.

When you look at what gets elected, by who, and what they represent then suddenly it becomes easy to see why Democrats go after votes from the takers in society, and those promised free milk & honey, all you have to do is vote "D" on the Ballot.

The last few years have really turned me off to the concept of democracy with universal sufferage.

I think we need to go back to when only landowners could vote.


Part of me thinks a good goverment would have a bicameral legislature, with one house representing the people directly (one representative for every X registered voters). And the other representing taxpayers (one representative for every X dollars paid in taxes). All spending bills would have to originate in the financial house, the other house just gets a veto. All criminal bills the other way around.

There are some scary numbers being talked about in this article. Once these landlords start defaulting on their property taxes it’s going to be game over.

Buffalo landlords, renters struggle as Covid rental aid payments slow and evictions loom

Across Western New York, the Covid-19 pandemic sent many landlords and tenants into a financial tailspin. They’re still trying to recover.

I was hoping an update to this old thread was going to be about a women charged with arson

 

[Carlos Hathcock]

Dealing with something similar to this right now. Little scumbag whore.

 

[holdover]

Have contractors come in and take all of the doors off for "''repairs"" make sure they dont drop any nails in the driveway or break any windows

Her mistake was thinking she owned the property...

 

[FRANKIE]

Hold on to your hats. I believe this no rent thing is the new norm. How many times was the moritorium extended already? You can bet January 15 won’t be the last of it. And this of course is primarily in good old NY, and few other “usual suspect” states. All states are no no NY is yes yes check the list yourself. Socialism full throttle.

Eviction moratoriums are nothing more than the State taking your property without recompense.

 

[spat]

Surely some of the tenants are on active duty.

Making this a clean sweep of the whole bill of rights for this administration.

Those 3rd amendment violations are hard to pull off in this day and age, but by golly Biden found a way.
