Tenant gets away with not paying rent for 14 years! $34k+ debt!
Man this really gets me infuriated. Someone left this comment on a video I posted on another website about an eviction we did in Cleveland last year. This person moved to Italy where the landlord tenant laws are apparently much different than here in the USA. Not only has this tenant stolen from their landlord for over 14 years & racked up a debt of 34,000 Euros they are actually proud of this behavior!
What are your thoughts?

That's the entitlement mentality for ya... In a world where most people don't own 1 house, how dare we own 2 or more!? In the mind of many, that makes you a "Rich SOB" and so you deserve to have it taken away... If not by the government, than by whomever can do so - and amazingly they do not consider it theft. Many think to charge a hungry person for food is wrong; and so they think to charge a person "on disability" or otherwise encountering hard times for a place to live is also wrong. Charity certainly has its place and should be done by all who are able, but the next election is going to be crazy with each candidate fighting to adopt the most Socialist agenda - so those EURO policies of FREE EVERYTHING at "the other person's" expense may be coming here. Fun times for those trying to get ahead with leeches all around.
