Gross Negligence by Landlord - Burglary

[ENASNI]

Well

On the contrary it was one of my tenants

That is what I thought... but I didn't want to say so in front of jabberwocky here who thinks we are all slumlords who have no respect for tenants.

Look jabberdude... You will not get it. so I am not going to waste anymore breath except to say that there are real slumlords in the world.. some stories so bad that you would cry and never ever complain again... You moved there, you move out..
There are good landlords there are bad ones. There are good tenants there are bad ones.. There are good danishes and there are bad ones.

There are good monkeys and there are bad ones.
we could go on and on ...
but the situation stays the same
There are good cases and there are bad cases.
You have a bad case against this particular landlord... okay...gonna go have a cup of coffee now... bye.

 

[Soonk]

you gonna have a good one or a bad one?

Why would you want to live with scum or is it birds of a feather flock together?

Landlords are not permitted to discriminate

On a more important note, I worked my ass of for the last 6 months to get six pack abs and then a friend of mine sent me a family double size pack of McVities Digestive Biscuits and since last night I managed to stuff the whole lot, does anyone have any thoughts on this?

I am NOT a bad paying, destructive, sue happy tenant, I don't mark the walls, ruin carpets, stain the floors, break the sinks and throw trash on the floor - just to clarify that. I have NEVER had to sue a landlord either, but this one is really making me want to - I might, I might not, I'm not sure yet. I DON'T destroy and trash his property and I'm a QUIET tenant as well, I always keep the place as clean as I can. The other scum HE let move in there does all the stuff you mentioned. NOT ME. Now he moved a prostitute in there, it's really getting obnoxious. We have 3 pedophiles and a hooker living where we live, nice neighborhood huh? Besides, I'm not the one who made the decision to let that scum move in there and to have to deal with all the problems associated with it, our slumlord is the one who let this apartment complex go to hell - or down the drain.

um

There are bad digestive biscuits and there are good digestive biscuits.

Its called will-power my friend...

I think... I lost mine awhile ago... has anyone seen it? it was red with green stripes... I was at a mall and turned my head for a minute...

I moved to FL AFTER my husband rented this place, just FYI, but then you're going to blame HIM because someone else besides the slumlord has to be blamed, oh well....

And hell no, I don't want to live with prostitutes, rednecks, hillbillies, thieves, drug addicts, drug dealers and pedophiles. We didn't know when we moved in there WHO was our neighbor there, people are constantly moving in and out, nobody stays longer than 7 months (minimum lease time). You can see moving trucks almost every weekend there.

Landlords are not supposed to discriminate, but then why are they turning you down when your credit is not 1000%? Just a question...

 

[south]

Thats the credit not the person, maybe the hookers have 1001%

Jeez, talking about double standards and talking your way out of stuff....

You're saying that a landlord is NOT discriminating against a potential tenant when his/her credit score is not 1000% and the landlord turns that person down?

 

[south]

No your saying it not me..

Personaly I check the credit then base my descision on how I feel about the person..

Such as
Attitude
Cocky
Polite
Demanding
Well spoken

I just rented to one guy last year who had a BK and a 20 odd page credit report, the guy was well spoken had a new career and was trying to get on his feet and set his life straight I took him over another person who had great credit but who harped on about their great credit and I am lucky to find them and demanded discount on the rent because of great credit.

Hence the BK tenant has been my best ever tenant not a murmour and pays rent bang on time, even asks if its ok to have dinner parties.

So the moral to this story is you never know what a landlord is thinking.

Is the "credit score" paying the rent or the tenant? You think that credit score/tenant are NOT ONE AND THE SAME obviously...

 

[MandyD]

No, a landlord isn't discriminating against a potential tenant when they don't have good credit. That's an individual thing, not an attribute that can paint an entire group of people. You can't be discriminated against by virtue of your sex, religion, ethnicity, etc., but if you're a bad credit risk, it's called being an astute businessperson, not discrimination.

South, I'm glad to hear that you don't base your decisions solely on credit scores. People (for example my mom in law and me) went through hardships that had a big impact on their credit. Was it all my fault? I don't think it was. My ex went to Desert Storm, came back a total different person and constantly beat me up. My fault? No. When I filed for divorce he did everything in his power to destroy my credit. My fault? No. You really can't hold a credit score against someone. My Mom-In-Law for example is a RN, she had a brand new car, credit cards of EVERY kind, the newest gadgets and stuff. She had a heart attack and her credit is ruined now. Her disability is finally approved (after 1.5 years living off of friends and family without any other income) and she's trying really hard to get back on her feet.

A credit score is only that, a score, unless you know the background and reason for a certain score you can't base any decisions on that.

Well I served in the Falklands and Northern Ireland and I never took my anger out on anyone back at home unless my dinner was not served up at 1800 hours then I would break out the car battery and thumb screws which never really had any effect because I lived on my own.

If someone shows on their credit they owe wherever they go such as judgments with former landlords I would not rent to them, because I would not want to join the string of creditors or landlords.

And yes I have turned down many times people with bad credit and I have turned down many with A1 credit, all I want at the end of the day is a person that I do not think will be a trouble maker that has a secure job, does not go on and on about personal issues, and is clean looking/groomed/looks after them self which I believe reflects on how they will live in the unit.

south, I see your point. In regards to my ex and me, like I said, he came back a totally different person, angry, violent, turned to alcohol to forget the stuff he saw in Iraq. And he let his anger out on me, even though he got his food every day I have never had any judgements in regards to past rent or anything else landlord/tenant related. We have never had any problems with our landlords. I see your point about that issue and agree with you, I wouldn't rent to them either.

"all I want at the end of the day is a person that I do not think will be a trouble maker that has a secure job, does not go on and on about personal issues, and is clean looking/groomed/looks after them self which I believe reflects on how they will live in the unit" - I totally agree with you on that too.
