The media brainwashed them into thinking 30% increases over 4 years is bad

Speaking of dumb landlords, this guy rented me essentially a basement apartment in a house with three other roommates for $1050 a month, including utilities and cable, a savings of over $600 from my last apartment. For that price one dummy roommate was totally acceptable, as was the lack of a working oven or microwave (he had been trying to get a warranty repair on them for several months before I moved in). Well, of course it was too good to be true a month after I move in he tells us we’re out in 2 months because his ex-wife’s name is on the mortgage and she wants him to sell the house. MF. This is possibly the best place I ever lived in and I’ll never find it’s like again.

Sorry, dude. Tell him that you’re not paying any more rent, since I’m sure the last thing he wants is a conflict with a problem roommate while he’s dealing with his ex-wife and a realtor.

It’s a wash, he has a month’s rent as a deposit and isn’t a bad guy, just dumb. I’m at a spot where I can afford it so it’s just a pain in the ass not a tragedy. Found some rooms with a stoner university IT guy in Boulder which should be pretty chill for $1300 which is still a good amount of savings.

In some states a landlord can give a Notice-to-Quit if the rent is just one day late. This change won’t mean that people in Iowa will be tossed out into the street after a few days. It simply means that the eviction court process will start sooner.

In NH where I was a landlord, we could post a Notice-to-Quit after only 7 days for unpaid rent (30 days for most other reasons), but if a tenant wanted to stall, they probably could squat for another 3 months as it winds its way through court before the Sheriff will get the OK to physically remove them.

Of course, even the most hardheaded or sociopathic squatters will usually vacate on their own once the Sheriff is on her way for the legally sanctioned removal.
