This has little to do with the tenant. This is happening because we don't take care of disabled retirees. Because mortgages are too expensive. Because pensions and retirement funds have been decimated. Because Social Security and Disability payments aren't enough to live on.

If the tenant never lived there at all, he'd be in the exact same situation. That's what we need to talk about here and it's disgusting that this story would be framed so as to ignore the central issues.

I genuinely don't know how someone could look at society in 2023 and come to the conclusion that the problem is that RENTERS have too much power.

Context for people that didn't read the link...

He said for 10 years, Martina Matin, his tenant in the bottom unit, had paid $1,500 for the 3-bedroom, 1-bath, though the checks always came late or bounced.
But in March 2020, she stopped paying altogether.

Landlord's fault for being a jackass tbqh unless there's something else not being revealed.

Yes, what a jackass. Letting her stay even though she was constantly late with payment and sometimes gave him bad cheques

We have a shitload of real estate conglomerates who buy up property to rent them out here in Cali. So that is a thing, even though it sounds dumb as hell.

You should probably start listing English as a second language and putting "none" for the first if that's what you took out of that quote from the article.

The American Left's hatred of landlords is wild.

Then again, maybe American law is just that nuts and all the landlords are evil and take it to the incredible extreme.

I don't feel that bad for him tbh, though I agree with post #4 and believe no one should have to rely on a rental scheme to retire comfortably in the first place.

Lots of people can't afford homes though. They don't try to buy one anyway in the hopes that someone else will pay it off for them. I will probably never own a home myself because I live within my means. The idea of accruing massive debt trying to maintain a life I know I can't afford, trusting my home and entire financial well-being to another person is insane. I literally just shuddered at the thought.

Personally, I wouldn't feel comfortable owning two or more properties that I couldn't afford on my own even if one of them was being rented out to someone. It just spells eventual disaster if you're relying on a stranger to keep a stable job/life to avoid foreclosure.

Maybe he should get a job instead of leeching off others. And no, better pensions is not a solution; that just changes then from leeching heavily off one person to leeching a little bit off everyone. If he wants to retire, perhaps he should've planned ahead and saved for it, since saving a huge amount each week was supposedly realistic in his generation's day.

This is why you need some hefty security deposits and you need to be picky about who you rent to.

Telling disabled retirees to get a job. Guarantee if this same guy were to break into another home and squat you would be applauding it. Guess he needs to have his house repossessed and be homeless for you to support him.

"Disabled" is a valid reason for support if his disability is to an extent that he cannot work, that's fair. "Retired" is not. There is no difference in my view between a younger person deciding not to work anymore and insisting on a handout, versus an older one doing so. Boomer entitlement is just so strongly ingrained that people don't see there's no difference.

And let's be fair here. If he can get to the point where he owns investment properties, he almost certianly is not disabled to the point that he cannot work. Unless it came about as a result of a lottery win or something like that.

Damn, even compared to most other landlords then this guy was screwed over Omega hard by the moratorium.

Hope that lazy parasite of a tenant gets booted sooner rather then later. Although likely she's going to trash the place before leaving as a final fuck you sadly. As many other tenets did after getting the boot.

Maybe read the article and watch the video so it answers it. He doesnt have multiple properties. Its a home split up. Moreover the person he is renting to has multiple businesses and is paying way under market rate
