When you're not on the lease, you have no contract with them.

​@@davidborboa77You still have property rights.

@@davidborboa77 Doesn't matter. Property management is not allowed to enter any occupied rental without notice. I worked at a property where someone committed suicide. Gunshot was heard by neighbors and I had to follow the law, contact police with the tenant's employer who stated he did not show for work just to do a wellness check and enter the unit. If it were not for the police check, I would have had to post a 3-day notice to enter and wait.

​@@donjohnson1578If you paid attention the complex admitted throwing his stuff out was a mistake. The contract has to do with who the apartment complex has to deal with to resolve their mistake. The property manager said it correctly. Since he isn't the legal tenant of the apartment they can't work with him. They can discuss a resolution with the legal tenant but not some guy that's not a tenant of the complex.

Having dealt with eviction before, you're not even allowed to throw away tennant belongings, you have to put it in storage for 30-90 days (depending on state) or have them pick it up (anything left still have to be put in storage for 30-90 days) Most management companies evict and use the resident itself as the storage for 30-90 days in order to avoid paying for a storage unit for this exact reason (they shutoff utilities still)

Yep, they areroyally screwed. The lady you hear speaking is clueless.

By sending the checks on the behalf of the actual tenant doesn't really give him fill legal grounds since it could be her (ex) mom sending checks in her name legally the occupant is the one who is contracted with the building. Mama have no day so. I'm this case neither do he.

@@MsMookalate​​⁠​⁠​⁠Nothing in this case mentions anyone’s mom providing those rent checks that the property owner gladly accepted and cashed so I’m not sure where you got that information from. Making assumptions on where the rent money came from won’t excuse the fact that this man was still a tenant and has been since the day he’d been living in the apartment for 30 days hit and the rental company accepted a check with his name and bank account on it as rent payment. Every rent check also came directly from this man and has his name on them. He can easily provide proof that the rent money came out of his own bank account with his bank statements, fyi. So yes, he absolutely does have a case and somebody’s about to lose their job because their boss is about to have to pay up for their mistake lol.

@MsMookalate I worked in mortgage law in Texas. Again, this is why AirBnB is illegal in many cities. Any state that has a 30 day residency law can leave themselves open to squatters. If they pay for a month, then decide not to leave, you have to evict them, even without a lease. He gave them money. They were cashing his money orders and checks. Their acceptance of his money and the length of time he was in there would mean they were operating (in a legal sense) on a month to month shadow lease. The longer he stayed in that apartment without them ever questioning it makes it harder and harder for them to try to pull what they did. They messed up. They weren't paying attention to their property, and they didn't serve proper notice. Their attempt to justify throwing out his stuff by saying he wasn't on the lease means nothing. They didn't get him out like they were supposed to, and now they are legally exposed. This excuse of "he wasn't on the lease" isn't gonna fly with a judge. If they've stayed over 30 days, you have to go through the full eviction process, which includes a 24hr notice on the door before entering and removing his things. They're gonna have to come out of pocket on this one.

Exactly, they are trying anything they can to abdicate responsibility. I hope he wins the legal battle.

Right? as well releasing a statement that they acknowledge they made a mistake, and are working with him to replace the items lost. But no, they want to go down the bud light route.

Money and brains seem mutually exclusive..

In this case they are

Yep you’re right nobody is gonna wanna live there

Everyone is like that, that's why i just stay away from people, all everyone wants to do in life is f*** you! And even on the rare chance its a mistake, all everyone does is make it worser, but not owning up to their mistake! Instead they will shift the blame to you and make you look bad instead of them. Like what was done in the video the tenant recorded, of the conversation with the Landlord. I believe its just Human Nature for everyone to f*** each other, and then make excuses and blame you, when they are the ones that f*** up, that's why i f*** everyone else in life, before they can get a chance to f*** me back!

Not really, it’s like if someone trespasses on your property and slips and breaks their arm or leg then sues you. They had no legal right to be there and it’s clear he was not on the lease. If he and his wife broke up, he could easily have switched the name of the lease. Not to mention how he can’t have the woman on the lease show up to say it’s her property and make it legal that way. That would have been super simple. At the very least he’s committing fraud as why can’t he have an apartment in his name (does he have a history of bankruptcy or some other criminal history)?

@@philiplubduck6107 That doesn't matter because proper eviction notices still have to go through the court system.

@@amandahugenkiss not quite. They have no legal right to be there, not even squatters rights. In black and white view of law they aren’t there. If the woman doesn’t step in who owns the lease they are sore out of luck and why wasn’t she mentioned at all? Is she fictional and doesn’t even exist. Then that’s a federal crime be committed. Typically only criminals use a fake name on paperwork. So laws exist to make life hard for the criminals doing identity fraud.

​@@philiplubduck6107they were happy to take the checks every month for payment.

​@@philiplubduck6107- I can tell you that by accepting his checks every month, they threw away any chance whatsoever of having this ruled in their favor...

Not evil, just negligent. They owe him a lot, but it's just stuff.

He doesn’t legally have any business with the apartment complex. He’s not on the lease so he doesn’t belong there by law

It began as an honest mistake of apartments and a sincere apology...and then the executives got involved and didn't want to take accountability once they found out they had a possible "out" from accountability. ...but they had no problem accepting this man's money for several months because he was a quiet, rule-abiding resident who paid his rent on time and didn't cause problems. Executive management is often ruthlessly greed-driven...or so narcissistic that they sweep every problem they create at work...and in their personal life...under the rug.

@@detonationpyrotechnics4156 They didn't have a problem taking his money for months, and if they are going to try and pull that card, then they owe him ALL that money back, on top of whatever settlement he gets after suing.

​@@tiaunajonlinetheres no way that would work? Im not a lawyer so I am probably stupid for asking this but is it possible for this to be absolved because the evidence is clear?

I don't know about Texas, but there are a lot of states that have laws saying "an apology is not an admission of guilt or wrongdoings ".

No but they the defamed his character as well, because they sent the news legally that said that he had counterfeit money but they wouldn't give any evidence to the effect meaning they knew it wasn't counterfeit it was probably game money from say Monopoly or something but the point being they used defamatory to his character in those legal papers that they sent the news guy so technically he has definitely a lawsuit to to put against them for defamation of character please understand I am using voice to text cannot write my hands do not work.

Yea....can't do that. I'm sure he knew and just figured they wouldn't find out. Well, now they did.

@@BornIn1500 You're sure she was renting out to him? I must have missed that. The news story says "Johnny was subletting without permission" - meaning he was added to her lease or replaced her on the lease (unofficially).

Like, the check came from him.

​@@BornIn1500 Regardless, anyone with any sense of humanity wouldn't treat someone like this.

@@BornIn1500 Don't think that matters in this case.

Well the man screwed himself by not informing them that his ex up and left. They would have evicted him anyway if they had found out without this having had happened. Is it morally wrong to not want to make things right with the man? I think so. Is it negligence on this man's part for not informing the office that the leaseholder left without notice? Absolutely.

I worked maintenance in my early 20s for a couple different property management companies and I am not surprised at all that this happened and that you think all your people are on board. Maybe you didn’t have that many evictions so it was a big deal?

Mistakes happen . People are not perfect but they gotta pay. As far as Texas goes they might not have that many laws regarding tenants.

Right because punitive damage the apartment ppl can't get out of

It really depends on the minutae of state housing/ contract law. Texas is not known for it's strong tenant protection laws. If this happened in California, home of the gay communist agenda, when a landlord knowingly accepts payment from a named tenant (like seeing your name on the cheque every month), that establishes certain basic rights for the tenant. Is obviously not the same as signing a rental agreement, but (as another comment here thoughtfully corrected me on) accepting the check in CA would generally be considered a type of contract, and the tenant would fall into a verbal agreement for month-to-month, until the landlord has a tenant sign a new rental agreement. The specifics of that month-to-month/no signed rental agreement are going to be different depending on county and city. This is based on a principle in contract law that if someone is getting a benefit, then they have obligations that go with it. Ie, if the landlord is getting the benefit of the rent money, courts would say that, even without a rental agreement, the landlord knew what they're doing, and thus they have certain obligations for how they treat this guy. But in Texas, this will be a hard fight in court. This guy needs to win in the court of public opinion, hopefully shame them into settling, because the property manager has a good case. Courts are not exactly tenant friendly. edited- had CA law wrong.

That's insane on the price of the apartment. Although he should have told them about her not being there and switched it to his name.

Yeah. That court case is an obvious win.

Welcome to America!

​@TheGreatoutdoorsAndGourmetVic Makes ya wonder if storming the capital (for the right reasons) may be a good idea. The Wealthy always get the upper hand in these situations. They always seem to dodge the legal bullet and accountability. If an average citizen did any of this, they'd be punished without delay. The commoners of 18th century Europe knew how to handle it.

This is kind of a fundamental human flaw and the removal of this flaw starts in childhood. Not every human has this flaw but the majority have it to some degree or another. It basically boils down to not wanting to deal with the mess we sometimes cause when we're wrong about stuff. We're not perfect and make mistakes. Sometimes those mistakes have serious consequences for others and in those cases we have to do our best to make them even or at least work towards it in cases where that isn't possible.

@@TheGreatoutdoorsAndGourmetVic Welcome to Earth.

​@@Dreamscape.xNo, it doesn't. Some countries, but not all.

I'm pretty sure this traumatized his daughter very much they will need to pay for that as well for counseling. I hope he gets a huge lawsuit on them

Now he'll get way more for pain and suffering. They should've paid up the first time.

imagine trying to argue in court that invading someones home and throwing away everything they own didnt inconvenience them, stress them out, or damage them

@@SteveB-nx2uo Imagine going to court and trying to explain what you're doing in an apartment illegally

@@TMGMedia73 in what way was he there illegally if he was paying rent? did you even watch the video or are you a literal bot?

I would be mad at the tenants too people he probably made friends with only for them to take his stuff. I would be beyond pissed smh. I hope he wins big in his lawsuit as well.

This man with paying rent with money orders with his signature on them so they knew he was living there. I do not think he will win .

You don't know anyone involved... You don't know anything yet form a strong opinion... That's called a sheep...

10x...no....how about 100000x

​@xelAppaR nah, the attorney knows he'll win big time leagues enough to get his fees paid plus his client's compensation...it's a slam dunk.

Exactly. I wonder what the courts will say to this one. I bet they will settle now that it's made public.

And make sure he is the person listed on the lease, which is on him to resolve.

2500 a month?! Yikes! They should give him a year of free rent and free furnishings on top of a payout.

​@@dianecelento4974I read that he's an illegal immigrant. They almost never sue, especially in a state like Texas. Step into the courthouse, get deported.

​@@universalsoldier2293or you know? question why he's making a payment if he's not on the lease or find his name on any files?most appartments near me won't let you make a payment unless your name is on the lease.

It’s Texas, so good luck to him

@@bradleyturner7347damn. Well let’s hope for the reimbursement atleast

Wtf you mean unbelievable, it happened.

​@bradleyturner7347 If this is what texas is about, nobody is going to want to move to the state. So if this is your way if defending your state, your not doing a good job.

Just hoping that there are some pro bono lawyers who would gladly helping him.

Why we stop using this video rental years back is because they wanted to charge mom for never rewinding the movies she always checked behind us to make sure they were rewound this was when we were young and I didn't know how to touch any buttons till I was about 7 I didn't trust myself till then we always triple checked but everytime we took them back that evil movie rental place said we didn't and it was like a $20 charge for each movie not rewound and they said all of our movies weren't think like 3-5 movies that rental place went out of business a few years after we stopped going

Any rental, whether it is a car or a blow up slide, pictures before and after.....

It is bad that those who are suing are not the ones being forced to take pictures. Why should it be on the person being sued?

He has a Gofundme. His name is Johnny Abney

@@beverlyarcher3744 Your post makes no sense. 1. Almost all video stores charged for not rewinding. 2. How can you be old enough to rent, but not old enough to rewind? 3. If you were too young to touch the buttons to rewind, how could you touch the button to play? 4. Almost all video rental stores went out of business.

they thought they were at the unit that was being legally evicted.

Yes and rental company needs to be sued

​@@crystaln6988even in a legal eviction is illegal to destroy the property. It must be put into storage.

Most property maintenance positions in DFW pay $15-$20. Think about the caliber of personnel that level of pay can buy...

This is exactly why we should've sent them back to Africa after slavery was outlawed, money hungry tax leaches is all they are!! Lest hope some cop mistakenly enters his apartment next and blasts them both!!...oops, (qualified immunity)😂Lets make America great again!! ONLY BLUE LIVES MATTER!!

Noticed they said it was wrong apartment

It's funny how they didn't care that it was his name on the checks every month... Until there's a problem. All they've done is add his legal fees to whatever they owe for his property. Because regardless of his status as a tenent, he was not a squatter. And they had not served him an eviction notice at the time his property was illegally destroyed. I'm unsure about Texas law, but where I live, the apartment must give 24 hours notice for entry in non emergency situations. If Texas has a similar law, the apartment complex also broke that law in addition to destruction of property.

@@jdmichalto add: I don’t know about Texas law, but the landlord waives the right to remedy if they take a payment while knowing that there’s a lease violation in Florida. 8+ months of checks coming from somebody not on the lease is going to make any judge think really hard about whether this is a non-issue and twist the knife into the management company.

Strictly speaking from a legal standpoint. Although I agree w/ you, he is not on the lease, so he is there illegally. The rules are in place for a reason. I agree, they need to reimburse this gentleman, but alas, he is not on the rental agreement, thus breaking the law. Do things the right & honest way and problems like this will not arise.

​@@stephaniepruittpotter9052they still cashed the cheques with his name on them without confronting him about it to resolve the issue. The moment they cash that first check with his name they don't have a case in my opinion. This is just a clear case we made a mistake but we're throwing it all on the victim to save our own asses. And people still think landlords and tenants should not be protected from crap like this

He won't wasn't on the lease sucks for him start over time

@@shanebradfield6160You seriously don’t know law. 😂😂 They can’t even lawfully kick out a squatter. This is an easy win for him.

@@shanebradfield6160this has nothing to do with his belongings being thrown away. Lease or not they still accepted his money.

@@shanebradfield6160you ate lead paint chips as a kid, huh?

​@shanebradfield6160 Really bro lmfao!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂 delete your comment bud it's what is best for you.
