Landlords Face More Violent And Aggressive Tenants During Evictions

Landlords are seemingly facing more aggressive Tenants who are committing acts of violence during eviction. This has resulted in injuries, arrests, and sometimes worse.

We have a condo where the property manager no longer tags illegal vehicles, after being accosted several times. They let the towing company do it, and the tow truck driver is not someone you want to mess with. As to evictions, people got spoiled from the COVID times of eviction moratoriums, which by the way, had zero effect on the spread of COVID, and this is the backlash.

This is why I chose to use a lawyer to evict my "non paying felon" tenants. He even had a rifle hanging where I could see it. Still, it took my lawyer 6 months to get them out. Landlording isn't for the trusting.

Skip paying for one meal at a restaurant and you will be under arrest for theft. But you can live in someone else's house for months without paying without much consequence.

Tony you are always on point. Thank you for all you do to educate us as landlords. The laws are ridiculous.

Also, comment may come as cruel, callous and heartless, but it's something that needs to be said. There have be some that have suggested that people open their homes to those impacted by the LA catastrophe. I urge people not to do so, or to at least be aware of the potential consequences. Once that invitee overstays their welcome and we property owners rescind their permission to stay, if they refuse to leave, we can't just call the cops and yell "trepassing" and have them removed. They'll have to be evicted. I remember a video of a while back where another property owner had a rant about not being able to proceed with an eviction because a law in Cali that prohibited evictions in the event of a "local emergency", and there was a section of I-10 that had collapsed, was declared an emergency, and thus he was barred from moving forward with the eviction. Ponder on that for a second and let it sink in... evictions were stopped because there was a hole in the street on the other side of town and that was declared an emergency, what's going to happen now that half of LA county just up and renacted the final chapter of Joan of Arc? If it's a friend or relative and all will be comfortable sharing with for the next year or more, then it's okay. Otherwise, don't be afraid to say no and do not get guilt tripped into thinking we're apathetic... we're not. We are some of the most sympathic people on the planet. It's just that we don't jump into holes without having means of digging ourselves out. Stay safe everyone

Tony - PREACH!!! You are speaking truth.

[mikenuyen]

Worried about no place to live? Be stupid and the state will give you a 6 x 10 foot home with free food, laundry and cable. Good deal huh?

As housing gets more and more expensive, this will happen more often, right or wrong

[MrDon-jjcn]

It's the mindset of poor people. They feel like if they paid rent for a year. Then they calculate how much they gave you during that year and that amount makes them fell they have some sort of ownership to the property. They will immediately say how is they gonna evict me and all this money I gave them. So it turns personal and they treat the eviction like a car repossession. Most of these people will act the same way during a car rental and refuse to return it. Because the rental fee gives them ownership to the property

TENANTS DON'T GET HURT OR KILLED DURING EVICTIONS.

[ll-yhpg]

They always talk about tenants getting harassed by landlords and there are boatloads of laws against it but there are no laws against tenants harassing landlords which is the most common situation. Far more likely that the tenant attacks the landlord than the other way around.

[TL-wynk]

People make choices that are not smart. It is just a reminder that they are not going to get their way, and they can't bully anyone. I would never do this alone. The landlord is right, and needs to be made whole. It you have an eviction, then you earned it.

[michellemiller]

Yes,
Te tenants in my property are extremely threatening. I decided to hire an attorney to deal with the eviction.

[michellemiller]

I have taken one rental in California off the market and preparing to remove another. Done with providing deadbeats with a place to live, while the tenant laws require me to make repairs.

[lovemyoldskool]

Tony. Noticed you started posting pictures of the family at the end of your videos. I’d suggest you follow your own advise and stop doing so. You may unwittingly be putting yourself and family at risk.

[PailFaceX]

Don’t tell anyone but
these are terrible times.
People losing jobs, being
evicted, prices of goods
and services thru the
roof 800, 000 homeless
one million living in there
vehicles, 47% Americans
living pay check to
paycheck I could go on.

I think all the extra time added onto evictions since c19 has essentially put both parties in a state where the anger and resentment festers instead of forcing everyone to move on, which is the real point of making evictions fast. In companies, schools, social settings etc., it is usually best to separate the angry parties.

[jennifer]

Im surprised that we don't hear about this more often considering...

If you look at what they did here in Colorado, requiring landlords who own building with something like 5 units or more to give the state first right of refusal on a sale, you are looking at the state taking over the residential rental market.

[glendawhite-clark]

That's why I'm not renting anymore because of all these laws that are against landlords. I was one of the good landlords who did not bother my tenants and tried to get any complaints from tenants fixed right away, but this was not appreciated. So I'm done renting.
