i found the mediator focused, fair, and powerful

"Everything you say doesn't leave this room." Lol ! 🤣🤣🤣

If I don't have the money I leave the place

Here in the UK the state would pay his rent till he found work again and also give him about £75 a week to live on - i guess its different in the US

this mediator lady is really calming lol

Very good actors.

As a Florida Certified County Court mediator, I enjoyed watching this. I volunteer twice a month to mediate small claims cases.

No pay no stay

Great educational video. Wrong dispute material. Never heard a landlord mediate with a delinquent tenant. They simply evict them and sue for any unpaid rent and that’s that.

it doesn't leave the room? its on youtube now....lol

The problem is, after he sells the jewelry he still won't have a job and he will be right back in the same situation.

Yes everything said in here is confidential except for the millions of KZfaqrs

watching this for my mock mediation tomorrow 😂🍿🍸

I think Dennis got tired of working. He took his extended vacation and figured it would work out in his favor. He forgot to pay his rent!! Then he found out Linda wasn't messing around!!! She rightfully wanted her rent from him.

Did he seriously say that he needs the cable since he's gonna be home more now?! Cable= GONE

This was waaaaaaaaayyyyy more civilized than when I took MY landlord to mediation. My landlord screamed and argued with our mediator. She lied like crazy, too, even when she was proven wrong. When I sat outside during her caucus, you could hear her through the door, and you could hear the mediator telling her to calm her ass down, lol. and so did everyone else who was waiting for their case. As for me, I barely had to say a word.

The landlord wouldn't necessarily get an eviction if he missed a payment, that would still need to be secured through a court proceeding.

This is confidential. Broadcasts it to entire world.

8:25 “I would rather be in her shoes coz I don’t have a job” 🤣 he killed so funny

Thanks for doing this. We are facing mediation soon with our landlords who illegally withheld our deposits, illegally removed our property, and changed the locks on our unit when we were still tenants and had paid the full month's rent. This helps give us an idea of what to expect.

If this is real , I wished I could have her poker face when people are not being reasonable.

I thought the man was the landlord at first.🤣

I WISHHH my rent was $750!!! I live in NYC & rent is $1400 and up!!!

Okay, as a former landlord, you have to find a way to make the best of the situation. He is an older man, no job, behind on rent, but has been in the apartment for the past 4-5 years. Perhaps, have him work it off being that she runs a business. Now, if he decided not to work it off, then she would have no other course of action but to evict him. Eviction is part of being a landlord. 🤷🏿‍♂️.

Damn, the comments are extra stupid here. This is a training video, children. Read the description. Learn how to internet. Cheers.

NOISIEST PEN EVER

"This conversation is confidential and does not leave this room." lol posted on KZfaq almost 90,000 views

“i gotta put gas in my car” to go where????

When Laura Dern used to be a landlord...

As a tenant rent is essential to be paid. Make payment arrangements BEFORE you get into difficulty. I can see both sides. The tenant is not being reasonable to be honest. You can't expect to stay for free and then complain when the Landlord gets upset about wanting their money. You go without cable TV and use pre-pay phone service. It can be done.

"I won't pay the rent but I want to have my cable connected" lol

I’m a landlord and I’m not allowing you to be one month behind because that leads to multiple months behind. She’ll never see that money unless she garnishes his future wages

Is he crazy?? He's grappling over $100 of late fees....as if he's not late?

"everything in here is confidential" watches on youtube >_>

pay the rent...

Someone should help him find a place in senior housing. Maybe something subsidized. He can't just live there, and not pay rent.

Tenant, I don't want pay late fees.... Sorry not your decision.

Why do people think it's okay to not pay their rent? Would it be okay if their boss kept their paycheck? I bet not. This is a landlord income

Why is this so entertaining!??!

This is positional mediation.

She owes him nothing. If she didn’t pay the bank you wouldn’t have a choice.

Always keep a calculator handy during mediation. Great showcase of skill, movement, and appropriate reframing.

She is RUTHLESS! She said that she has other tenants. He was a good tenant who payed on time every month for five years! 😱 RUTHLESS and heartless. Shame on her. I feel bad for the elderly man. I hope that they can agree to something.

She just wants him out period !

This looks like a demonstration... not an actual mediation session since this being public and not confidential... is a total giveaway.

It doesn’t leave this room no one will ever know except KZfaq

What kind of a grown ass man expects a young woman trying to run her business to be milked by him and pay for his expenses until he feels like it. What a LAME! Pay your rent, get a job and now. Why should she wait a day longer! What a baby man!

As a landlord myself, I totally sympathise with this woman, and my advice would be to evict as soon as possible, even it means foregoing the rent you're owed. It'll cost you far more if you give in.

Good to see a hard core landlord. So many renters play the system with court ordered stays and delays to a point they don't pay the rent for more than a year. Many renters are clever when it comes to utilizing renter rights and motions to stifle an eviction.

Most mediators are not Lawyers but, get lawyers fees. They take a 10 week course. I almost lost my mind when I found out. Be very careful. Anyone cane be a Mediator. PAY ATTENTION

Cable????

Wow I lived in Green Bay, Wisconsin for 3 years and I had NO idea that this place existed. Damn I miss living in Green Bay on Velp Avenue.

"I have nothing to do all day, and now I don't have cable?" 😢😢

Thank you for this ADR vidéo. I am one of the experts on Alternative Dispute Resolution.

😂 😂 😂 😂 this got to be a mock interview

This isnt even be a discussion. It’s not the owners problem if he can’t pay. Evict and move on. Dumb of her to entertain the idea letting him continue.

they both are so good i wish i saw before i have paid the rent for this old guy very sad

Landlord is too lenient - Landlord has a mortgage payment, and other fees, which Landlord is not allowed to skip payments - Tenant should and must be responsible with due dates and abide to the contract- Tenant already breached contract

I am on the landlord side because I am one. I am responsible if something goes wrong and I have to pay taxes. so this man needs to go its not her problem and its not ridiculous fees we are not charities

Wow super cheap rent

She was nice enough to stopped the double asking for the late fees where not unreasonable

Hello folks, I'm currently undergoing training for mediation, and I would like to say that this was a very helpful resource to me, as I picked up a few things after watching this mediation. However, I would like to respectfully give a few points as to what I realized while watching this mediation, and what I would do or change given my style of mediation. Hopefully this could give you a different perspective on the mediation process. As most of us know, this was a mock mediation, and only serves to give people a glimpse of what a tenant-landlord situation would look like. As far as I know, a normal mediation would rarely take this little time, and could potentially be more volatile emotion-wise. Throughout the mediation, I enjoyed watching the mediator take a more passive but firm approach when talking to the landlord and tenant. But is it me, or was caucus called way too early?? I could see calling caucus early as an effective strategy to gain knowledge of the situation early without interference of the other party, but I wasn't entirely sure if it was necessary. It almost seemed as if both parties weren't able to fully explain their stories. Another thing I noticed was that the mediator rarely used reframing to clarify what was being said by both sides, but I suppose the matter was extremely clear to both the tenant and the landlord. These participants are most likely much much MUCH more experienced that I am, but one thing I noticed was that the mediator seemed to become less and less impartial as the video went on. You can notice the mediator remind the tenant frequently about potential repercussions and the chance of being evicted if he did not come to an agreement. And finally, when terms of the agreement were discussed, the mediator once again reminded the tenant of the consequences. All in all, they did a much better job than I would have ever dreamed of doing, but thankfully I am going to another training session to roleplay these exact kinds of situations! It's amazing how such an old video can still serve to be an amazing tool for mediators in training just like me.

Pretty sure it was just a demonstration. Obviously!!!

Homelessness creates debts for city and States, and when the the local City Police Commissioners don't agree to let the United States people to work because they don't like them or not able to control those United States citizens lives, homeless will increase and continue. The the States City police Commissioners are a problem for the United States government, because the landlords are right to want their rent on time or in a few days.

Mediator : The caucus is private Mediator - Also puts it on the *KZfaq*

she should just evict and move on . she will be sorry for breaking down

This guy needs government shelter. Renting is a business if you don’t pay you leave the house. Before you rent save money at least for 6 month coverage.

Only shared on you tube. Confidential lol

Typical tenant lazy mooching

I see why he in this situation. He worried about the wrong thing and is a know it all

Agents most the times do not repair anything that was damaged before new tenants move in

What's there to mediate? File for eviction and get him out of the apartment with the sheriff.

i don't understand why she has to bargain with him for her own money and he arrogant as hell to be owing someone, I would have gladly evicted him !!!

The problem with mediation it's legally binding no appeals

..who pays the mediation fees?

Landlords are always concerned about their investment especially retired landlords who depend on their investment income to survive. You see, it's all about everyone doing their honest part and doing what's right to each other. If we all loved our neighbors as ourselves there would be no need for courts, police, lawyers, politicians, guns, laws, wars, security systems and whatever else we would need to prevent each other from harming each other.

This woman should have come in with a better attitude.

Renting shouldn't be a business, as housing is a necessity. I'm not saying don't pay rent or things like that, but the problem is that renting is considered a business, and landlords take advantage from this. In London, U.K., there are very few landlords who really "take care" of their business, such as fixing what needs to be fixed for a decent living, etc... If landlords want to treat renting as a business, then fix the shit that needs to be fixed. I'm saying they take advantage of this because they know that if they don't fix the stuff that gets damaged in time, and if the current tenants decide to leave the property, they will always have someone who will rent their place, as housing is a necessity. Also, how can you even compare it to a business when there are things to take into account such as problems that tenants can go through in their lives? I'm not saying being uncommunicative, but this system needs to go sometimes out of the long paragraphs from tenancy agreements to considerate personal cases. I'm a tenant in a situation where we were all evicted from our property because of a problematic and dangerous tenant, as we were all in a joint agreement. We have all moved out from the current property except for this problematic and dangerous tenant, and the agency and landlord wants money from us as they said “we’re all liable for the rent”, which is what the contract says. But in cases like this, there should be a way to solve this outside of the contract, as we cannot control this person. Not even the police can help. It’s the most stupid thing I’ve ever come across to. I know they want their money, but what can we do about it? We people who can’t afford paying double rent, but it seems that the law is still on the landlord’s side. We cannot even afford a solicitor. That’s why we pay rent, because we do not have saved money for a mortgage yet. And yet, we are only able to get a place through rent when at the end the money we’re paying in rent would be the same money we would be paying for a place that is ours. We tenants are paying landlords’ mortgages, which is unfair. Renting a place should be less than when you’ve bought a place. The scheme is the same as rent to buy anyway.

But even if he moves outshes not getting nothing

Training video!!!!

I see a lot of support for the landlord. Imagine being the tenant and losing your job. The first thing that goes into your mind is how your going to pay your rent. Your already hurting losing that job and now your going to be homeless? Coming back from losing the job is gonna be difficult. You feel too far gone when your homeless on top. This is a situation where I'm saying that this tenant never had problems before and always been responsible.

This doesn’t go anywhere but here….. Umm it’s on KZfaq for the world to see 👀

Old as he is, nobody will hire him. That Lady is done with him.

HE IS NOT GOING TO PAY. ALL HIS PROBLEMS, LIKE MEDICAL, PHONE, CABLE, ETC. ARE THE LANDLORD'S PROBLEM. EVERY PROBLEM A TENANT HAS IS THE LANDLORD'S MISTAKE.

ITS A TRAINING VIDEO GOOD LORD PEOPLE COMMON SENSE!!!!!!

He's not willing to compromise re late charges & court fees to pay for mediation. Also at his age, getting another job is unlikely. Get rid.

Even though they’re actors, I’d be damned if my landlord is gonna increase the amount I owe by two/three-fold bc I’d just laugh in her face. Nowhere is that acceptable for being 5 weeks late on rent like wtf 👋🏼😂

i dont want to do mediation with my renters, i want them out period bye falicia (boot)

“i run a business not a charity, ew damn”

Give her the jewelry now you bum

Money Money Money .. FYI Mediation is not free, This is designed to make a judges job easier and unclogged the courts.. once she said nothing leaves the room i stopped watching,, Mock Mediation - I would decline mediation and ask for the judge to hear the case. Why you ask well because my tax dollars pays for the judge not for mediation

Why didn't the tenant file for unemployment? Then he should have the money to pay the rent.

omg the logic “no one’s gonna move in the winter so she’s gonna have an vacant apartment anyways so i might as well live for free”. well dude, people don’t only move when it’s convenient…. for example when you get kicked out and have to find another place you will be moving in somewhere in the winter…. doesn’t he get social security or have family or anything

You guys…. It’s staged. 👌🏼😂 they’re actors and doing their best to be very difficult people from both sides so we can gain a better understanding of the side we may be on or the other side in a objective point of view. Normally, within mediation, nothing would leave the room & there’s no way a mediator would hold a meeting between two real people and then post it on KZfaq yall. 😋

It just shows how the house market destroys people’s minds ! He’s a sir without job she is a business person ... Government knows that house is a big issue !

Criminal act 1: it's not confidential if I'm watching.

The reason we are here is you owe me money lol

The guy is old, will not be easy to find another job. If getting unemployment, why has he stopped paying the rent. Landlord is not a charity. I would evict. Will never get back rent.

I imagine this is staged or maybe some kind of training video.

I wish I could 750 a month
