Evictions across America: Landlording

[Breelon Bryant]

Evictions suck for the landlord and for the tenant nobody wants to see anybody get evicted and sure as hell landlords do not want to evict however it is necessary so that poses a question.

1. Because Home owners are not able to make their mortgage payments and with the evection ban lots of landlords will not be able to make their payments. Do you think that this will cause another housing crisis by the government? 

2. To all the landlords that have those tenants that can pay but just choose not to in order to take it vantage of the deduction and what are you guys doing about those particular tenets that call about maintenance but choose not to pay rent?

Honestly great questions! I don’t believe that there will be a major housing crisis caused by the moratorium due to the fact that investors were recently burned in 2008 and it’s still fresh in there minds so they create more of a cash cushion.

In regards to the tenant issue...I am dealing with a similar situation. I’m based in NY where the laws are totally written in favor of tenants, so I’ve been answering every maintenance request from this bad tenant and paying costs in additional fees around this tenant not upholding the lease terms, as well as attorney fees. I started the eviction process but even then I’m working on communication with this tenant. My advice, do the right thing even if the tenant is choosing to do the wrong thing. I want to look back and know that whatever happened I didn’t lose my integrity and get caught up in the bad behaviors of a few.

Good luck!
