Complaint Review: Christina Caibarro AKA TheodoropoulosTabaroFayeFay

I used to be in the mortgage business and I dealt with home owners all the time trying to get them selves out of a financial mess with a non owner occupied property. Usually the tenant trashed the place, or didn't pay rent at all and now they need a loan on the house to fix up the place, or catch up on bills.

If a landlord was to do a background check and a credit check on their prospective tenant, 95% of the losers would be weeded out. I used to live in a condo complex that was completely taken over my low income, drug dealing non owner occupied units. Some landlors do not care who they rent to as long as the rent gets paid. This sucks! Especially for the homeowners who live next to these people. Non owner occupied units have no pride of ownership and I get sick of seeing people moving in, moving out of the same units. Luckily the complex I am in now is much more expensive and classier than the first, so the non owner occupancy level is pretty low.

I feel sorry for the landlord that got stuck renting to my ex roommate. His credit is TERRIBLE and even though she saw his report, she still rented to him and although he is a nice guy who takes good care of the place, it is hard to get any money out of him for rent. He is always broke and is usually late on rent if he even has it all.

So landlords, smarten up and screen your appicants. Pay attention to bad credit. People who do not pay their bills, probably won't pay rent either.

I can't stress this enough--do research and thoroughly check out a tenant application BEFORE they move in! Call the last 2-3 previous landlords, verify their time on the job and income, do a credit report. Were they honest with you?

This will allow you to screen out 95% of the deadbeats before they move in. Some people are professional deadbeats who know the system and have a string of evictions behind them. They are "charming" and seem "nice" when they apply for your apartment. Don't rent to someone because they seem nice--do a credit check!

Do not allow anyone to move in before they pay you a full security deposit. Did something come up on the credit report that they let you know about beforehand? I had people who went through bankrupcies, but they were good tenants--it depends on how they explain past deficiencies and what their attitude is toward repayment. People with a rough patch in their past usually understand if a landlord wants a double deposit or some other guarantee of funds.

If a tenant blames a previous landlord (or spouse or employer) for their economic problems, LOOK OUT! It'll be 5 minutes after they move in that their new landlord becomes the source of all their problems. Don't let a problem move in. It is better to have an apartment sit empty for another month, than take a chance on a deadbeat and have them squat in your unit for 6 months for free as you try and evict them.

NO, I was specifically addrsssing the problem with TENANTS using the TENANT/LANDLORD Laws & Courts to stay rent free for an extended period of time. Abuse should not be tolerated from either side. But when laws are written that shift the field toward one side over the other, it is WRONG. Landlords should be able to control their property and its use. I will agree that when a LEASE is written & accepted by both parties then they both have to live by it. This way Landlords cant evict someone so they can raise rent or move in family members. But they should also be able to CHARGE fair market value for rent on their property. And when a tenant as in this case does not pay rent, they should be able to EVICT them in a reasonable period of time. Such as 30 to 45 days. That amount of time coupled with the time they may have already have had should allow the TENANT to pay what they owe. The landlord should not be help helpless why someone continues to steal from them. And staying in someones property without paying rent is STEALING !!!!

Yes unfortunately you are running into something that is truly a CRIME. Tenant Laws. These horrible things were passed by a bunch of bleeding heart democrats to appease a bunch of poverty level voters. They hurt people like you that are trying to make a living & help people out by renting GOOD Property. If you didnt have these bleeding heart tenant laws, you would be able to EVICT them within like 30 to 45 days for Non-Payment of rent. But no, you have to let them FREELOAD off of you forever. And like you said also, they will steal FREE ELECTRICTY & Other public utilitys which cost me & you in higher rates.
