"No, this isnt a fucking yard sale!"

In a civilised country no family would be allowed to put on the street.

Housing is a basic human need and right. Not a way of making a profit.

If Capitalism can not house and feed the people we need a better system.

fantasy island? :helpme add root beer fountains and free burgers :)

In which planet is this civilized country you speak of?

fuck you america fuckers who fuck american people

Stalin or Mao type system?

.

Big stack of shit on the front lawn for someone who can't find $100

The communist countries are slowly turning to capitalism and the socialist countries are violent cesspools. Utopia has been working well.

This may have just been the "final act" in a long string of non-payment issues with this tenant. I'm sure that the landlord doesn't want an empty house. But, eventually, anyone would get fed up with a deadbeat tenant. Even so, there might be other issues with this tenant that were not mentioned causing the landlord to want him out.

Pay the fucking rent on time !

That kayak is probably worth a couple bucks.

The Second Bill of Rights was a list of rights proposed by Franklin D. Roosevelt, the then President of the United States, during his State of the Union Address on January 11, 1944. In his address Roosevelt suggested that the nation had come to recognize, and should now implement, a second "bill of rights". Roosevelt's argument was that the "political rights" guaranteed by the constitution and the Bill of Rights had "proved inadequate to assure us equality in the pursuit of happiness." Roosevelt's remedy was to declare an "economic bill of rights" which would guarantee:

Employment, with a living wage,
Freedom from unfair competition and monopolies,
Housing,
Medical care,
Education, and,
Social security
Roosevelt stated that having these rights would guarantee American security, and that America's place in the world depended upon how far these and similar rights had been carried into practice. Later in the 1970s, Czech jurist Karel Vasak would categorize these as the ?second generation? rights in his theory of three generations of human rights.

yep, that will depend on the State itself...

A few years ago I noticed someone nosing around the house across the street. Turns out it was the owner, and he was surprised to discover the family renting his house had moved out. They didn't pay their rent for a few months, and they failed to take his calls. They moved out without telling the owner. The owner lost four our five months worth of rent, and that was too much for him to afford. He ended up loosing his house.

The house sat vacant for years until a few months ago when someone bought it.

This looks bad for the family, but I'm guessing there is more to this than meets the eye.

Happens all the time, sadly. The only factor that makes this one look sad to more people than usual is fairly obvious, and it's not the two kids or the $100.

yep he's broke :1orglaugh pabst blue ribbon get that guy some change :helpme

You dont pay the landlord you get evicted
you dont pay the bank you get foreclosed on

Not much simpler then that :)

I don't understand putting the property in the front yard. It's still on the owners property, he can't mow the grass. Obviously the ability to re-rent the property is now on hold. The ex-tenants are hanging around which could lead to confrontations should the owner show up to work on the inside of the house, etc ....

Is there now a time limit on them removing their belongings. Who cleans up what's left behind? When I lived in the DC/Virginia area I would see sheriff's evicting people and their possessions were put on the curb to be claimed by the tenants, anyone driving by or the garbage men on the next scheduled run.

Putting everything in the yard seems to make the situation more confrontational than before.

.

LMAO. Housing is a right? So if someone can't work and house their own family taxpayers like me should pay for their house? Because it's their right to have a house? Even if it means that others should support them? Or do you have some wisdon of another method whereas their "right" is guaranteed?

the court order you have to release the dwelling when the law shows up. i think its 24hrs to remove your property

The issue is not about the family being unable to pay $100 in rent.

The issue is the family simply did not want to pay the $100 in rent.

Look at all that junk they poured out of the house...he cant sell that leather recliner for $50 and that canoe for $50? And do they have any cars? They could easily get title loans to cover the $100 if they truly wanted to pay the $100.

The fact is they did not want to pay, not that they were unable to pay.

And of course I feel sad for the kids...it's their dumb parents who put them in that situation.

You guy's realize that's Will Ferrell from the movie "Everything Must Go" right? :1orglaugh

.

Unless this was some crazy oddity, you don't just get evicted overnight. Nothing special about this family, but I'm pretty certain he was evicted for more than just $100.

Just because he paid at the last min doesn't mean the landlord has to accept it, specially if the guy has been slow to pay prior to this or had had other issues.

There are always 2 sides to every coin and you are only seeing 1 side here. Perhaps the landlord can't afford to not get paid the rent he is due for several months and I'm sure going through the eviction process wasn't free either.

I went back and looked at all that shit really close and I wouldn't pay $100 for
all their shit combined.

:1orglaugh

can you imagine the homeless population if there were no social support systems out there?

There was a time when people would fall back on family and friends when they hit hard times. Taking a government handout was frowned upon.

Right

Wrong

Wrong

well seeing as how the family is breaking down more and more are you really surprised? and as much as i love my friends and family, i don't want them living with me. people gotta deal with their own problems but most people in such a situation come from generations of poverty, so where do those people go?

Evicting someone is not a drawn out process and takes 30 days. Someone is late issue them a 5 day pay or quit notice, if they fail to pay then you file with the court, once you take court you file for possession of the property, once you regain possession you can send a sheriff to put a eviction notice up. If they don't leave with in the time specified on the eviction notice the sheriff will come and remove them.

My wife was a property manager for a 643 apartment complex for 6 years, evictions are nothing new and have a very specific system. At court the tenant can bring up the disputed amount of money and its settled right then and there.

Perhaps you should move to the USSR of 1985. I bet you would be quite happy working for the state and living in your 10x8 govt provided apt.

You would see your friends and family on the street but expect other people (through taxes) to take care of them?

Haha.. are you kidding me?


She would have a 10X8 government provided apt.

She would have a 10X8 government provided apt and be sharing it with her mother, father, brothers and sisters.

This was true even of studio apartments. Housing in the Soviet Union was a clusterfuck. Not to mention you wouldn't have a phone, a car or new clothes, electronics, any real furniture and so on. Yay!
:2 cents:

do you really think relying on friends and family (who may not be in a position to help) is really a solution?

Don't burden friends and family but taxpayers. Fuck'em?

As opposed to relying on the government?

there are so many other things to complain about that are wasting way more money than welfare and social programs but i guess its easier to bitch about this.

oh by the way my girlfriends brother has been living with us for over a year now, so don't say i am not willing to help but its nothing that will work in the long term. what about disabled people who were never able enough to pay into the system? i guess its either family or the street right? soon we'll be like third world citizens with 30 people per home.

its not fair to the taxpayers, its not fair for the families who happen to be responsible enough to support their fuck up relatives. maybe we should just start exterminating the poor.

Government is supposed to be here to redress the inequities of the marketplace, That's one of its functions. Not just to protect the nation, secure our security and all that shit. And not just to take care of great problems that are trans-state problems, that are national, but also to make sure that the inequalities of the marketplace are redressed by the acts of government. That's what welfare is about. There are people who really just don't have the tools, for whatever reason. Yes, there are lazy people Yes, there are slackers. Yes, there's all of that. But there are also people who can't cut it, for any given reason, whether it's racism, or an educational opportunity, or poverty, or a fuckin' horrible home life, or a history of a horrible family life going back three generations, or whatever it is. They're crippled and they can't make it, and they deserve to rest at the commonweal.

Looking at that situation I would say their biggest mistake was trying to catch up on the rent at all. If they didn't want to pay the final 100 they shouldn't have paid anything before that either, I bet they wish they had that money back about now.

uh no just saw a guy that has shitty beer needs some help! :helpme

exactly however it was stupid of the landlord to take the money

in ontario that mistake would cost owner a shit load of money after a dispute under the tennent act.


i never take partial payments if the rent is late it not worth in, when a tenent has given you first and last month rent plus a security deposit.

if you have a late penalty fee you don't want to deal with the potential arguement that payment after the eviction constitutes a settlement of the outstanding issue and a reinstatement of the lease terms

that guys wife looks ok looking..

if she was serious about raising her kids, she could have gone out and sold her ass..

at the very least she could get $50 for a handjob...

fucking lazy whores...







.

doesn't matter, after the landlord gets possession of the house they can get judgement and get the remaining balance, go after bank accounts, salaries etc.

Try all the Scandinavian countries for a start, and here in the UK the State pays for housing if you are unemployed and the council has to house families with children.

And yes the USSR and socialist countries housed all the populations.

BUT the richest country in the world throws families on the street.

The banks are too big to fail in capitalism, the rich get a bail out, throw the kids on to the street.

The problems of our societies? Its the poor 50% with 2% of the wealth and no power, it's their fault, not the 1% who have 80% of the wealth, and all the power.

She could have given the landlord a blowjob to call it even, but nooooo...

Unfortunately that is life. As much as people think they are "entitled" to things, when you are a renter, if you do not pay your rent no matter how much is owed, you are not entitled to stay in the house. They are renters. They can go rent some where else. Sucks for the kids, but families have been through a lot worst than having to move. The parents either should have came up with the total amount or been prepared to move so they wouldn't have had to been thrown out on the street. Do I feel sorry for them, yes especially the kids. But it certainty wasn't the home owners fault or the polices fault. People need to start accepting responsibility for their actions.
