These people don’t care. They don’t care about the land lord’s loss.

In NY you have to go to court to get kicked out. Most times the landlords lose and have to pay.

Depends if the eviction papers has been filed in the court and has been served

Exactly, and what is even worst is how rental properties will LIE how much is owed, cause you cannot call the courthouse and satisfy the payment. Just speaking from experience courtesy of Weinstein Properties. They DO NOT want debts satisfied and I wonder who is getting paid, other than attorneys and the court system, to uphold these laws.

It does get removed most states do allow it to take 10 years though some just seven but I do see your point. People do fall upon hard times but it's the worthless ones that get evicted several times a year that really ruins it for everyone.

@@jonathangray2266 I believe it should be immediate or at least by the end of the calendar year that the balance is paid in full. Why should folks have to carry the burden of an eviction so long? 10 or 7 years is a ridiculously long time for an eviction. But guess where good end up when they can't get housing? Shelters or the streets and that's an even bigger problem. It's why people feel the system is rigged.

@@jonathangray2266 "worthless ones"? Damn. Judge anyone today. ?

@@XTRABIG yes worthless ones like my ex that was evicted 6 times in one year doo yea those people make it hard on the ones that fall upon hard times.

Say it again for the people in the back that weren't paying attention, please.

It gets bad in every city that becomes more popular. The closer you are to the center of the city the closer you are to being priced out of your home. Same goes for me. Just a fact of life. Enjoy it until the rich people come and steal it. Or find a city that isn't popular and move there. But you get what you pay for

@@a.christian9647 Yes. say it Louder.

The higher wages go up the higher the prices of things will follow. Big stores like Walmart and Target can offset increases to minimum wages spread out over many stores, spread out all over the country, but smaller regional and locally owned businesses like grocery stores and gas stations can't handle those increases. That's why Target and Walmart was first to say we will raise our rates to $15 an hour no questions asked, because with that they knew they will only get larger, as smaller regional and local companies collapse under the weight of a high minimum wage. So when you demand a higher and higher wage don't complain about the Walmart and Amazons of the world, because you're creating an environment that will leave us with only them left. Minimum wage was never intended to be a living wage, it was intended to be a starting point. but the higher the minimum wage goes there will be no room for advancement or pay increases and wages will become stagnant over time. Here in Illinois our minimum wage has increased from $9.25 in 2020 to $12 in 2022 and $13 in 2023, but it hasn't made the job market better, in fact it has made it worse. More employers are only looking for part time workers and with that they are only using them when they need them, and sending them home when they don't. More people are working alone and if it is a small business they are running it by themselves. Even doctors offices and hair salons are working without reception staff opting to hire a offsite call center to answer the phone and make appointments in other states with lower wages or using automated kiosks to check in. Thousands of businesses and people have left the state, 50,000 people just last year and the state is serious financial trouble and we are left with some of the highest taxes in the country, so don't expect minimum wage to fix anything, if anything it has made everything substantially worse.

Because if they did show it, people would see it's mostly section 8 housing and you have to TRY to get evicted from there.

Sorry to hear this. Do you ever consider moving to a place with a lower cost of living?

A bit late to this Dana, but there’s not too many places in the country w any sort of job market for cheaper rents prices. There’s certainly lows (places in Arkansas and Montana come to mind), there’s just no incentive to move there w a limited job market, little to do socially, and being thousands of miles from family. Obviously there’s closer examples like farmville or orange or south hill, but it’s the same story. Pretty scary stuff tbh, I kinda envy the older folks that were already established into a career and housing before the pandemic. I graduated high school in 2019 and I’m still struggling to figure out what the hell im doing.

@@danaglass1265 Not really as far as lower rent in my area…I mean, I’m fine..I’ve gotten pay raises this and last year with both jobs..I get an increase every year..I’m paying my bills on time etc, I’ve never had a problem with that..but I never understood the logic of increasing rent..nothings changed, no amenities added, nothing free..so where’s the justification? (Plus my state deals with state AND property tax) It’s like going to the store to upgrade a computer with the same one you have but nothings changed as far as the operating system and memory..just the logo. They raise the price because of drawing on a computer.

By the time it gets to actual eviction it’s usually because of many many months of not paying the rent.

Exactly! That family has 2 cars and multiple adults, so between 3 adults they can't pay the rent. That does not make sense.

@@klvr5863 i guess the free ride ended

@@Dynastithegoddess clearly they don't care to try as they are still in the same rut they have always been in. or someone did decide to better themselves in the family & they then moved out and moved on as they don't care to carry a bunch of freeloaders. i have seen that occur in person more than once.

@@makeitpay8241 I kno the lady in the video personally.

It’s not just there. It’s all over the country. Can blame Lyndon B. Johnson and his “Great Society” for that.

@@sareight Problem was, LBJ was very popular and it would have killed his career to be labeled a racist for saying Black families need Black fathers in the home to survive. Then came the Watts riot and America was scared straight to not even acknowledge that the ghettos with no fathers was the future of Black American. 10 years later, Reaganomics sealed the deal with ending the idea of a transformative government and that morality exceeds the goals of government. Crazy to reflect that over 80% of Black people born today are from families without two parents in the household. This is the true reason for economic erosion.

Good! Means less crime, thieves and robberies.

The areas are being reoccupied by the type of people who built them and lived there to begin with.

They are sitting here building all these high rent apartments for wealthy people. The mayor this city is in the pocket of the rich. So many people have jobs that don't pay well and people are struggling to pay their bills. The counties have raised their salaries but the city still wants to pay at just minimum wage for many jobs.

then u spend ur money and build a apartment building and let none of the ppl pay you rent then see how u feel when your broke and the bank takes ur house and apartment properties, then you can come here and talk like decent human ppl like you should stop talking and think first your told what your rent will be even when they raise it so either pay your rent like everyone else or move out. if you can't find a place for 5 kids then don't have 5 kids, it's not other people's problems or burden to take care of you because you choose, not to work or have a litter of kids, it's yours

That's true. Republicans have already capped minimum wage. It's rough. People should be able to make a liveable wage. Then if you have a family it's more to consider.

This jobs are not meant for you to live on. They’re meant for teenagers who want to work and for older people who want to supplement their income with a job, immigrants working two jobs etc. they’re not meant to raise a family or live long term as an actual adult. You need to go to school and get a career.

Minimum wage jobs aren't mean to be able to pay rent and bills. There's no way you can work at Burger King and afford rent

I know damn well the crypto scam enthusiast ain’t talkin bout gettin a real career. Time is the one thing nobody can replace, if an employer has an employee working full time (that’s 8-12 hours, sometimes more), and taking up all their daylight hours that they could be doing something else, they need to pay them like their time is worth it. Acting like there’s not wide swaths of the country with nothing but blue collar, low wage work available. Your perspective on the world is all screwed up, there is no job set aside for a particular group of people, sayin that low wage jobs are “for teenagers and immigrants” is just dumb as hell. If they’re qualified, they’re qualified. That’s all that should matter.
