We need funds to support tenanted that experience job lost and can’t find a job or unemployment is pending .. they take our taxes when we make to much but fail to provide assistance when those individual can’t afford their expenses due to job loss and taxes being taking from every check . With small return at the end of the year

Thanks for the video. Do you need a Summons and Complaint for every person in the home or just who is on the lease? I have a tenant that is subletting to 2 other people. Can 1 form work with all names or add “et al “after the Original Tenant’s name?

I live in polk, i just turned 23 on december 24th, uh i got a 2 1/2 eviction after only a 3 months notice. Its tough, they had no sympathy, two days after the 20th i crashed the car i was living in. Im homeless as of my 23rd birthday and waiting to give up or have hope for my car. Its next too impossibke, it is unbearable often. Florida is the toughest rn. I hope anyone that may read this can have better tenant luck than i did, insallah we will all prevail.🤞🏽

Wtf why does the landlord have to pay all the fees to get some tenant out of his property. The non compliant tenant should be liable and responsible for all court fees and any other fees the landlord would have to pay to get the tenant out.

My landlord has on the lease no cats in the apartment. But yet the apartment is infested with rodents and roaches. The lease States that the landlord is not responsible in fumigating and getting rid of these pest. So we're not allowed to have a cat to help with the infestation of rodents but we are obligated to deal with roaches, rats, and any outdoor critters that's invading the home. 🤷‍♂️ And if we complain we get evicted where the justice.
