so the side affect of being a landlord is that you are constantly abused by the tenants
and all their problems. I am angry, frustrated and pissed off ALL the time. Every month
I am getting robbed by some tenant or another, and my repercussions of getting back are ALWAYS
costly. If someone deosn't pay me, I have to pay alot of money to evict them, then I have to pay alot of money to get the place back to a rentable state, then I have more time without income while I advertise and show. It is a thankless and horrible job. No matter what you do as a
landlord, you are at best "the asshole" Peaopl feel entitled to do what they want and when
you tell them or "ask" them to pay or NOT put bikes in everyones way or get rid of the 37 cats,
etc, you are a fuckin asshole! you are raining on their parade!!. You say no pets!! so they get
a fuckin pit bull that tears up yer fuckin house. and you're the asshole when you say get rid of the dog or get evicted!! which will cost you lots of money and lost rents.
I am snappy at everyone, my kids ask one too many questions I bark at them. they don't understand why daddy is always tense, they don't understand why daddy can't buy them nice things like their friend. They can't figure out why we fight over who has to pay for the kids sports
or not, because tenants don't pay me and so I can't make my payments, it really is heartwrenching when you do all the work, you buy a place you spend the money to get the place nice cabs, counters, floors, paint job, landscaping, you have spent alot of money, then you get someone in there and they decide after a few months they don't want to pay anymore.
so then you can't make your payments and you have to spend more money you don't have and even
more to get the place nice again, just to get some other careless fuckwad in there. So the horror is that you constantly have to juggle the costs with the little you collect in the hopes that one day all will be perfect, all units full, and everyone paying.
Here's some of the latest. I have a woman who is elderly, she is very nice and sweet. Well,
when I bought the place it was run down and there was drug activity and assfucks hangin in the back terrorizing the tenants. Well, I got in there and started making changes and calling the
police and hassling them putting in new high fencing, $$$, so much to make it safe for them.
Well the old lady was very very happy and wanted to show me so whe started paying me much more
to show her appreciation. She is under rent control, and I told her that legally you don't have to pay this much, she said that she can walk around the yard and back without worrying about getting attacked or killed and that I deserve to get more and that I needed to hush up and take it.
No matter what I said she insisted, she said it is "what's right" so she started sending me
more and more. Well, after a while she became senile. She is in her 80's and now she has
alzeimer's and dementia and she talks to peopl that aren't there. The daughter started paying the rent to the amount that the old lady told her, NOT the amount owed. She never asked me
what the rent is she was paying soley on what the old lady told her to pay. Well, now the daughter got a letter fromt he rent control board and now she is not paying at all. She says that she doesn't nave to pay anymore. So now if I go to court I could be forced to pay back the amount because she is wacked out now and cannot verify what she had said to me. lesson here is
to get it in writing!! I had no idea that wanting to give someone money was not allowed.
it is a mess, complete mess. So now with the rent I barely covered all the costs over the year.
now with this I will lose alot of money. And this property is now a HUGE responsibility without making a dime. whe would have ever anticipated this!! this is one in so many things that happen ALL the time as a landlord.
how about this one!! I had some strange lady claim that she went on to my property and slipped on the stairs and fell. so she filed a claim to sue me. none of my tenants knew nothing about
this lady or who she was. After an investigation my insurance decided it was a witch hunt and
denied the claim. OK? good right? Well, one of my tenants who was interview about the incident
decide, "hey, I want money too" so guess what I just got a letter in the mail that he claims he too has fallen and needs lots of money in compensation. WHATEVER! and this assfuck constantly is trying to scam shit out of me, he is always short with his portion of the rent (section-8 pays 90%) and he has completely fucked up the apartment, he has kicked in all the doors ripping out the door jambs, he has the carpet black, he constantly spills water from above onto the apt downstairs, he sells weed out of the house and thinks I don't know, he breaks, locks, and light covers, and leaves trash all down the side of the house he just throws out the kitchen window, he is a fuckin pain in the ass. And now he has the fuckin audacity to sue me!!! what a fuckhead.
his life as my tenant is going to change. He doesn't realize how powerful a landlord is, I can evict him for being a fuckin pig! I can evict him for changing the locks on my front door, I can evict him for not paying the rent on time, and for not paying the full amount. He constantly bugs me to fix shit he breaks. I cannot stand this fuckin idiot! so I am going toget rid of his stupid ass, once I evict him he will then be stripped of his section-8 voucher and will be on the street. I am SICK of fuckers ALWAYS trying scam shit out of me. sick of it.
anyways there is much much more. it makes me struggle to sleep at night, it makes me testy all the time, I have anxiety attacks all the time, I have severe heart burn now because of the
constant stress. it is a thankless fucked up job, and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemies.
