Anyone dreaming about being a land lord should be ready for something like this

https://nypost.com/2023/04/15/...

 It happens when you do not screen properly. I have taken over PM for clients where the tenants actually knocked the garage down, with their car, YES knocked it down. How about the house exploding as there was a meth lab in the basement, Google meth lab blows up house Cleveland. Others steel the HVAC. How about those that leave there dog in the basement for TWO WEEKS,!!  Some are just animals, but the left says we must treat all with respect, yeah ok, 


 This has nothing to do with screening. These were people who illegally entered a house and chose to live there.  And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with treating everybody with respect at least until they prove you otherwise.  This also isn’t a left vs right issue, this happens everywhere.  This particular incident happened in a red state.

Can't believe nobody has suggested hiring a realtor and listing on the MLS. We have 20+ houses in the Phoenix metro area and we don't bother with anything but the MLS. Can't even remember the last time it took more than 2 weeks to find a qualified tenant.

I've been accepting pets into my class A and B SFR's for almost 20 years. I can only think of one instance (out of maybe 40 leases) where I had to remediate pet damage. In that case it wasn't even bad just replace carpet and pad and seal concrete under some bad cat stains. It has definitely increased my pool of potential renters. I would completely agree with other posters that if the tenant is good then pets are not a problem. In fact as a dog person myself I almost prefer the type of renter that has a soft spot for animals.

@Tim J..... yeah... you might want to read all the "you get what you voted for" replies....and "see what happens in blue states".....so yeah.... there a huge implication in those posts that NOT having that ordinance would have mad a difference.

Its also implying that the ordinance was in place when this tenant was placed....and he had a previous violent criminal background that would have prevented him from being placed in that unit..... all conclusions that serve to confirm your bias that this could have been prevented if the county had not instituted the ordinance. There is no proof of ANY of that..... but people jump on the bandwagon of "see what you get?,,,,and you get what you deserve" type replies

I'm not defending the ordinance... AT ALL.......I still want to be able to run criminal backgrounds. What I'm pointing out is the BS logic people are using as some proof that "you get what you deserve"... that this is some rock solid proof that its the local governments fault

So true, there is a definite bias here on BP

It can happen anywhere (and does)

Kicking someone out of their house is a dangerous job.

@Account Closed I think the government needs to provide more incentives to real estate investors instead of free handouts. Social programs don't work. The only thing that will really solve this problem is increasing the supply of units to meet the demand. Investors won't build units unless it is profitable to do so. 

Be careful what you wish for:
Seattle has a lot of goverment help in real estate: Now landlords can't evict
San Francisco has a lot of goverment help in real estate: Now landlords can't evict
Portland has a lot of goverment help in real estate: Now landlords can't evict
LA has a lot of goverment help in real estate: Now landlords can't evict
Chicago has a lot of goverment help in real estate: Now landlords can't evict
New York has a lot of goverment help in real estate: Now landlords can't evict
Balitmore has a lot of goverment help in real estate: Now landlords can't evict

Are you seeing a trend here?




I have rental property in Seattle and you absolutely can evict a tenant for failure to pay rent or for being habitually late with rent.  To say a landlord can’t evict is nonsense.

@Albert Hasson Apparently you  don't know the laws in Seattle, let me help

I'd give more laws than the ones below, but do your own research
(I was born and raised in Seattle and sold all of our properties and left because of things like this. )
*************************************************************************

Just Cause and Limitations on Tenant Displacement

Tenant displacement is limited in several circumstances. Please refer to the specific sections of the code for specific details and exceptions. They include:

  • 1. A tenant having to vacate the housing unit six months during or after the termination of the moratorium due to financial hardship resulting in non-payment of rent (SMC 22.205.090)
  • 2. A tenant having to vacate the housing unit during the school year and is a student or school employee. (SMC 22.205.110)
  • 3. A low to moderate income tenant who would need to leave between December 1st and March 1st if the owner owns 4 or more housing units (SMC 22.205.080)




22.205.080 - Defense related to certain evictions that would result in vacating between December 1 and March 1

https://library.municode.com/w...


22.205.100 - Defense related to financial hardship


22.205.110 - Defense related to certain vacating during school year

I was born and raised in Seattle myself and I stand by my statement.
You absolutely can evict a tenants for a multitude of reasons including non payment of rent and habitually late rent. Yes there are some stipulations in the Seattle landlord laws that favor the tenant but there are thousands of successful landlords including myself that navigate the laws very successfully and love the property appreciation that comes in a city that is a highly desirable place to live.

It’s not just Sedona.  I follow Glendale and Peoria, AZ trends very closely and inventory is as low as I have EVER seen it.  Prices are rising slightly but if the inventory remains low I would agree with a 10% price increase by the end of this year.
