Speaker 1 (00:00):
I don't know if there is a valid reason why
you don't pay your mortgage or pay your rent. But
Kevin says that he's got a very good, valid reason.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
And what is it? Kevin? And actually you said you
wanted Zach to come in here?
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Facts facts, Zach and I are having apartment issues, and
I need all of us who feel this way to
unite so that we can stop the man. But basically,
at an issue in my apartment needed to move my
stove out and I realized there was a large gaping
hole where like my electrical outlet was.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
It was removed from the wall.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
At that moment, I realized, Okay, this is an issue.
Not only is it an issue, it's an issue that
my apartment should fix. It's not something I should.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Have to deal with.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I'm not about to be sealing up electoral units and outlets.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
That's what y'all supposed to do. So I go on.
So I have a great relationship with my leasing agent.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I'll go in there. I tell him good morning, throw
them little gifts here and there. Eminem's Jeesus, you know
what I'm saying. Just like to be a good person,
you give Jesus Jesus you're talking.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Gave your wife great, Yeah, not.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Just cheese, but I thought he was like giving like
like hard to find cheesus artists and chess.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Yes, like artists and chocolates and from Bunba. So I
don't it's not just a transactional experience. We have some
level of relationship there. So I bypassed. Let me go
online and put in a maintenance request. Sometimes I'll just
go in there and say, hey, this was going on?
They write they little posted note, they say they talked
to Corey you don't want to run and everything, and
(01:32):
then they no, no, no, no, Corey ain't showed up yet.
So I'm like, okay, I don't want to be there
every day. Hey, what's going on? Type of person? So
I put it in my little maintenance request so it
pop up, you know, get my paper trill. It has
been almost a month now and I ain't seen Cory yet.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Where's Corey?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I don't know where the hell Cory Corey. Corey definitely
still worked there, because I've checked in a couple of times, like.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Oh we didn't Corey hasn't come by yet. Oh no,
I'll remind Corey.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Corey still ain't showed up and I feel like I'm
not about to pay my rent.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
That's y'all, that's y'all into the bargain.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Actually, you better be careful because you know you've signed
a lease. You don't want to get yourself into trouble
for not paying the rent.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Honestly, though what he said, that's their end of the
bargain that they're not but that's.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Not in the bargain.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
So I'm just supposed to just live and pay and
quite never come.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I mean the right Honestly, the fun thing to do
would be, I've got your rent check over here, send
Corey to come get Okay, the right thing. But in
your lease, if you don't pay the rent, you know,
they could, you know, mark that against you and say
that you're not paying.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
You know.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
It's like, yeah, but that could be so dangerous what
he's got going on there.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
I mean, I feel like I'm in the right. I'm
gonna be honest with you. We got to stand up, bro.
We can't just okay what happens. You could use that
same approach with anything. You could say, Mike, I bought
a car and my car turned into a lemon. You
still got to pay for the lemon. Otherwise you can
get yourself into This is different. Having maintenance is a
piece of my rent. That's why they're there to come
(03:01):
fix things. This is the thing that needs to be fixed.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
All right. I just ask why you were moving a
stove to begin with. I saw a mouse and I
think it came.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I think it came through the hole, and I had
I called, I caught a company came out and my
man's literally said, yeah, I think it.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
This is a airin.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
That's why I was like, y'all need to come see
this beach yup. Honestly, they need to spray too and
try to kill the mouse. I ain't see. There's plenty Zach. Now,
if anybody shouldn't be paying his rent, it should be Zach.
You got Zach in here right now, because Zach has
had a really tough situation.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Explain what happened to you?
Speaker 6 (03:40):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Yeah, it was spend a month now, spend since Thanksgiving.
I went out of town for four hours and I
come back and I knew something was up. I just
had that intuition that I left my door open or something. However,
came back and it smelled like hot water. I was like,
what's going on my apartments started leaking, like literally leaking.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
It's you have a you have a water feature coming
out of the ceiling.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Yes, But the thing is, I don't have a cory,
I don't have a desky. I'm going through an app
and it's the week of Thanksgiving, so there was no
one there. I couldn't talk to anyone. I had to
call the police and be like, hey, can we shut
off the building water?
Speaker 7 (04:25):
Zach.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
I feel like you have to elaborate. This was not
a leak where you had a bucket.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
You had buckets, had buckets like and it was brown.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
It was brown water. I can't even It's kind of funny. Now,
did you pay your rent?
Speaker 5 (04:38):
I did because I didn't want to get in trouble.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Did the landlord make it right?
Speaker 8 (04:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (04:44):
Yeah, So this upcoming month it's I'm only paying, Like, well,
did they did they? I would hope they did this.
Did they check for mold or anything like that?
Speaker 5 (04:54):
So I had to call the insurance company, which is
a whole separate like twenty people yep, and they had
a comment and then reporte report report to my landlord,
which is crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
I think all of these are valid reasons, but I
think that I don't know if you can pay not
pay the rent. Let's ask Devin this question. Devin, what
was your advice for Kevin?
Speaker 10 (05:16):
So, have you put your money into like an escual account,
like your actual full rent and then when they turn
around and say you haven't paid your rent and be like, no,
I have my rent. It's in an escraal account waiting
for you guys to come fix this issue.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Oh, so how do you do an Escro account?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Hold on a second, real quick, Devin, are you in
property management at all?
Speaker 10 (05:36):
No? But I've read enough of the agreement.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Okay, so hold on one seid. Katie is and Katie
said the same exact thing that you said, So let
me bring her on here. Katie, you're in property management man,
and you agree with Devin put it in an Escro account.
Speaker 11 (05:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (05:50):
Absolutely, That's what I was going to say. So you
have to put it in an Escro account because the
landlord can technically still take you to court if for
non payment, but once you show your end of court
saying that it's an Escro account and why you haven't paid,
the judge will most likely side with you.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Okay, So how do you do an ESCRO account you
just go to a bank and say, hey, I need
an ASCRO account.
Speaker 7 (06:12):
That's a great question for somebody else.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Okay, both you guys say the ESCRO account, I don't
know what. Then will have to look into that, Kevin, Uh,
I think the rats a bigger or the mouse.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
I've never had to deal. And then they trying to
tell me if they think it's just snucky. And when
I had the door, I'm like, it's no way in
hell it just came through my front door. Broight, it
don't work like that?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
What's up?
Speaker 12 (06:33):
No?
Speaker 13 (06:33):
He Hey, so I'm an ex property manager retired, so
I heard the other people talking out and give the
same input.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
But I'm going to add to it. If you go
to your bank and tell them.
Speaker 13 (06:46):
That you're you want to save them just for your rent,
they will label it that way, that it will be
your escort.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
You said a savings account specifically.
Speaker 13 (06:55):
For rent, specifically for rent, they'll label it. They label
it that way. So then when you show the statement,
it'll it'll have that on there to show the course
that this is safe.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Just for the rent.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Now why can't I Why kid keV, who can pretty
much talk anybody in anything. You just see some of
the women that have slept with him. Why can he
not go down to that front desk and just say
to the ladies again, I've fed you cheese its And.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Now I'm still dealing with this.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Although talking about it on the air might today get
Corey over to your house, But I like, see what's
going on, Like, what's Corey up to? If Corey I don't.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
I mean, it's a large property, many different tendons. There
may be some people with more pressing matters than I,
but it's gone beyond the time of understanding.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Like zach situation.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I said to Zach, if you own a property and
you're using an app as a way to try to
fulfill any issues, I don't care if it's on Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter,
or that guy's birthday. You got to have somebody there
for emergency services and it's freezy.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Is that it took so long to get someone It's craziness.
Contact me.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Hold on a second. I want to know now. Forget
about giving Kevy advice on the ASCRO account. We've already
been there and done that. I want to ask people
what is the one reason why they didn't pay their rent?
I want to hear why you guys said I'm not
paying my rent? And then I want to know what
happened to you? Are you in jail right now? Are

Hey?
Speaker 8 (09:10):
Listen, listen, listen. It's been all sorts of situations. Cuz,
first off, you should have called I mean that mouse.
Thing's a huge issue.
Speaker 12 (09:18):
Bro.
Speaker 8 (09:18):
We had that same issue at my crib and it
was like, it's like, Bro, they tried to tell me
that the mouse came from under the dishwasher. I said, no,
it did not. I was like, it did not come
from under the dishwasher. And we had a little brown
mouse being our house and it ran across the stove.
It came from under the door. They tried to come
in and tell you that it was not going to
happen again, this and that, and they ended up. I
(09:40):
told him, I said, Bro, we're not going to pay
rent because they charged us fifty dollars for our dog.
I'm like, Bro, if you charge fifty dollars for our dog,
I'm like, Bro, you need to charge that little mouse
fifty dollars.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Absolutely the bro they got. That's how I feel.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
I feel, honestly, BRO, Like I don't my or isn't
wide open. I come straightening even when I have groceries.
I pulled my little card in. I shut the door
right behind me. Nothing is about to run past me
without me seeing it. I saw the little mouse one time,
seen it one time, came in the store, came in
the kitchen. I was like, oh dang, One thing I
do not play with is mice. So I screamed and
(10:20):
then went back in there. And then when we pulled
back the stove, I've seen this whole. I'm like, clearly
they doing work to the place next door. I'm like,
you must have came through there, Megan, what's happening.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
I don't like that.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Hi, good morning, I'm Megan. Why did you not pay
your rents?
Speaker 8 (10:35):
Okay?
Speaker 11 (10:35):
So before me and my husband got married, we were
living in an apartment with our children, and he did
like little side hustles, so he.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
Was doing like instacart and stuff.
Speaker 11 (10:45):
So some people little, you know, like elderly ladies would say, hey,
can you just carry them into the house for me,
They're a little bit too heavy, and he would and everything.
So he would sometimes go in and out of other
people's houses. But we were at home and I felt
something on my face and I thought it was like
my hair, so I moved it away, and it was
(11:07):
not my hair. It was, in fact a bed bug. Yes,
And so we went ahead and we knew it did
not come from us, like at all whatsoever, Like bedbugs
don't just.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
You know, I understand, But did you not pay your
rent because you had bed bugs. Because if you did
not pay the rent, why did you admit to the
fact that you brought the bed bugs in by your
husband going into people's places.
Speaker 11 (11:31):
The front office. We took it to the front office
and the sandwich bag, and we're like, hey, we're having
this issue. We need like some type of inspector or
somebody that you guys have to come look at it
and see, like what's going on. And they looked at
the bed bug and they looked at us, and they go,
it looks like a gnat. And I was like dumbfounded.
(11:53):
I'm like, you think I caught one of those freaking
nets flying around in a kitchen and put it in
a sandwich bag and brought it up here and said
it was a bed bug. They are significantly different in appearance.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
So what happened? Did you just not pay again? Did
they take care of it?
Speaker 11 (12:11):
They didn't charge us rent for the next month?
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Good?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Come on? They did you guys?
Speaker 11 (12:18):
They did make but we did tell them that we
weren't paying.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I would make them. Yeah, kill the bed bugs, I know.
She admitted, well, she admitted it.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
With her story. She admitted that her husband brought it.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
I honestly would rather have a mouse than a bed bug. Absolutely,
I mean there's no doubt about that one. I would rather, honestly, Aroach,
I will honestly tell you that I think that there
was You think that when there's one mouse, there's a
bajillion mouses, mices, mice, roaches are gross.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
There's them to wait.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
What were you infested with at your place that made
you stop paying rent, Jennifer.
Speaker 6 (12:59):
I had a beat festination, a b infestation.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
And how long did it take them to come and
spray for the bees?
Speaker 6 (13:08):
Well, they came and spray most of the times, but
they just didn't go away. I think I had it
for like three weeks. And it wasn't just like one bee.
It was like my bed was covered in bees. I
got stung, my dog got stung.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Oh my gosh, that's awful. So how long did you
stop paying rent for?
Speaker 6 (13:25):
I did? They wouldn't let me.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
They were all, well, you should have done the escroad thing.
I learned about this today. There's an escrow thing, Stephanie.
What did you get infested with that you made you
stop paying rent?
Speaker 11 (13:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 14 (13:39):
So when I lived in Arizona, we had cock coaches
like crazy. Where it was to the point where we
would have them in bat and bringing them up to
the front desk and they would be like sorry, like
that's just how it is.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yeah. So their cockroaches have an accent too. By the way,
did you know that? What did they sound like?
Speaker 11 (14:01):
Hi?
Speaker 12 (14:02):
For?
Speaker 14 (14:02):
Every time I cook tacos, they'd be out like crazy.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
I'm telling you, Wow, that's crazy. How about this one, Jessica,
stop paying rent?
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Why I didn't stop paying rent it?
Speaker 14 (14:21):
But I don't pay more than one pet deposit when
I have more than one pet, because it's two hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Oh my gosh, sneaking pey. So what do you do?
How do you hide the pets? Do they both look alike?
Speaker 10 (14:31):
I just hand pet sitting.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Okay, And they can't charge you for that for having
a business out of your place.
Speaker 14 (14:38):
No, I'm just pet sitting for a family.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Member, okay. All right, that's the one where you say
charged me.
Speaker 14 (14:44):
Almost twelve hundred a month and they updated anything on
our on our duplex. Yeah, and we've lived there since
twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
I'm not going to lie to you, though. If I'm
the neighbor that has to step in all your dog's crap.
I'm probably wanting you to have to pay all that money.
Speaker 10 (15:02):
Yeah, we have our own yard. It's like a separate yard,
and my.
Speaker 14 (15:07):
Animals go and have a certain spot.
Speaker 10 (15:10):
They actually go ploty and we pick up after them.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Okay, so says every dog owner. Hold on. Emily stopped
paying rent for a reason. She didn't have a roof.
What happened to your roof?
Speaker 12 (15:26):
So we lived in Florida and Hurricane Ian came along
and it rained really really hard. And when we first
came back to our house to check on it, because
we went inland, like fifteen miles away from the storm,
and when we came back, there was a little bit
of leaking, and our property management company was like, oh,
you know what, we'll put a tarp on it. We'll
get it fixed, no worries. They're like, you know what,
(15:48):
if you can just go to Michigan on vacation for
like a week and come on back, we'll get it
all fixed. We come back and they had not put
a tarp on our roof, and our entire roof caved in.
They literally were like, by the way, rench you next week,
but you're going to have to move out in twenty
four hours, try to grab it and.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Know where to go.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
It was a nightmare.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
What actually, hey, we.
Speaker 12 (16:16):
Moved back to Michigan. Here we are, Hey, so welcome.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
The sad thing is looking at this whole thing. Kev's
dealing with one mouse and you know, I know, I
haven't seen it in I haven't seen it though he's gone.
He's like a month and you're dealing with a hole
in your wall. This woman has got no roof over
her head.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Yeah, have you seen the poop?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Look in the corners. I forgot. You're in the patrol right, yeah,
for no repatrol. Come over and in speak.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Well, if Corey's listening, we will see you at noon
today Kevin's apartment.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Ride it down, Come on,
I don't know if there is a valid reason why
you don't pay your mortgage or pay your rent. But
Kevin says that he's got a very good, valid reason.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
And what is it? Kevin? And actually you said you
wanted Zach to come in here?
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Facts facts, Zach and I are having apartment issues, and
I need all of us who feel this way to
unite so that we can stop the man. But basically,
at an issue in my apartment needed to move my
stove out and I realized there was a large gaping
hole where like my electrical outlet was.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
It was removed from the wall.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
At that moment, I realized, Okay, this is an issue.
Not only is it an issue, it's an issue that
my apartment should fix. It's not something I should.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Have to deal with.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I'm not about to be sealing up electoral units and outlets.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
That's what y'all supposed to do. So I go on.
So I have a great relationship with my leasing agent.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I'll go in there. I tell him good morning, throw
them little gifts here and there. Eminem's Jeesus, you know
what I'm saying. Just like to be a good person,
you give Jesus Jesus you're talking.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Gave your wife great, Yeah, not.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Just cheese, but I thought he was like giving like
like hard to find cheesus artists and chess.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Yes, like artists and chocolates and from Bunba. So I
don't it's not just a transactional experience. We have some
level of relationship there. So I bypassed. Let me go
online and put in a maintenance request. Sometimes I'll just
go in there and say, hey, this was going on?
They write they little posted note, they say they talked
to Corey you don't want to run and everything, and
(01:32):
then they no, no, no, no, Corey ain't showed up yet.
So I'm like, okay, I don't want to be there
every day. Hey, what's going on? Type of person? So
I put it in my little maintenance request so it
pop up, you know, get my paper trill. It has
been almost a month now and I ain't seen Cory yet.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Where's Corey?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I don't know where the hell Cory Corey. Corey definitely
still worked there, because I've checked in a couple of times, like.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Oh we didn't Corey hasn't come by yet. Oh no,
I'll remind Corey.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Corey still ain't showed up and I feel like I'm
not about to pay my rent.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
That's y'all, that's y'all into the bargain.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Actually, you better be careful because you know you've signed
a lease. You don't want to get yourself into trouble
for not paying the rent.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Honestly, though what he said, that's their end of the
bargain that they're not but that's.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Not in the bargain.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
So I'm just supposed to just live and pay and
quite never come.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I mean the right Honestly, the fun thing to do
would be, I've got your rent check over here, send
Corey to come get Okay, the right thing. But in
your lease, if you don't pay the rent, you know,
they could, you know, mark that against you and say
that you're not paying.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
You know.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
It's like, yeah, but that could be so dangerous what
he's got going on there.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
I mean, I feel like I'm in the right. I'm
gonna be honest with you. We got to stand up, bro.
We can't just okay what happens. You could use that
same approach with anything. You could say, Mike, I bought
a car and my car turned into a lemon. You
still got to pay for the lemon. Otherwise you can
get yourself into This is different. Having maintenance is a
piece of my rent. That's why they're there to come
(03:01):
fix things. This is the thing that needs to be fixed.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
All right. I just ask why you were moving a
stove to begin with. I saw a mouse and I
think it came.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I think it came through the hole, and I had
I called, I caught a company came out and my
man's literally said, yeah, I think it.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
This is a airin.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
That's why I was like, y'all need to come see
this beach yup. Honestly, they need to spray too and
try to kill the mouse. I ain't see. There's plenty Zach. Now,
if anybody shouldn't be paying his rent, it should be Zach.
You got Zach in here right now, because Zach has
had a really tough situation.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Explain what happened to you?
Speaker 6 (03:40):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Yeah, it was spend a month now, spend since Thanksgiving.
I went out of town for four hours and I
come back and I knew something was up. I just
had that intuition that I left my door open or something. However,
came back and it smelled like hot water. I was like,
what's going on my apartments started leaking, like literally leaking.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
It's you have a you have a water feature coming
out of the ceiling.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Yes, But the thing is, I don't have a cory,
I don't have a desky. I'm going through an app
and it's the week of Thanksgiving, so there was no
one there. I couldn't talk to anyone. I had to
call the police and be like, hey, can we shut
off the building water?
Speaker 7 (04:25):
Zach.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
I feel like you have to elaborate. This was not
a leak where you had a bucket.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
You had buckets, had buckets like and it was brown.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
It was brown water. I can't even It's kind of funny. Now,
did you pay your rent?
Speaker 5 (04:38):
I did because I didn't want to get in trouble.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Did the landlord make it right?
Speaker 8 (04:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (04:44):
Yeah, So this upcoming month it's I'm only paying, Like, well,
did they did they? I would hope they did this.
Did they check for mold or anything like that?
Speaker 5 (04:54):
So I had to call the insurance company, which is
a whole separate like twenty people yep, and they had
a comment and then reporte report report to my landlord,
which is crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
I think all of these are valid reasons, but I
think that I don't know if you can pay not
pay the rent. Let's ask Devin this question. Devin, what
was your advice for Kevin?
Speaker 10 (05:16):
So, have you put your money into like an escual account,
like your actual full rent and then when they turn
around and say you haven't paid your rent and be like, no,
I have my rent. It's in an escraal account waiting
for you guys to come fix this issue.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Oh, so how do you do an Escro account?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Hold on a second, real quick, Devin, are you in
property management at all?
Speaker 10 (05:36):
No? But I've read enough of the agreement.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Okay, so hold on one seid. Katie is and Katie
said the same exact thing that you said, So let
me bring her on here. Katie, you're in property management man,
and you agree with Devin put it in an Escro account.
Speaker 11 (05:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (05:50):
Absolutely, That's what I was going to say. So you
have to put it in an Escro account because the
landlord can technically still take you to court if for
non payment, but once you show your end of court
saying that it's an Escro account and why you haven't paid,
the judge will most likely side with you.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Okay, So how do you do an ESCRO account you
just go to a bank and say, hey, I need
an ASCRO account.
Speaker 7 (06:12):
That's a great question for somebody else.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Okay, both you guys say the ESCRO account, I don't
know what. Then will have to look into that, Kevin, Uh,
I think the rats a bigger or the mouse.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
I've never had to deal. And then they trying to
tell me if they think it's just snucky. And when
I had the door, I'm like, it's no way in
hell it just came through my front door. Broight, it
don't work like that?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
What's up?
Speaker 12 (06:33):
No?
Speaker 13 (06:33):
He Hey, so I'm an ex property manager retired, so
I heard the other people talking out and give the
same input.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
But I'm going to add to it. If you go
to your bank and tell them.
Speaker 13 (06:46):
That you're you want to save them just for your rent,
they will label it that way, that it will be
your escort.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
You said a savings account specifically.
Speaker 13 (06:55):
For rent, specifically for rent, they'll label it. They label
it that way. So then when you show the statement,
it'll it'll have that on there to show the course
that this is safe.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Just for the rent.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Now why can't I Why kid keV, who can pretty
much talk anybody in anything. You just see some of
the women that have slept with him. Why can he
not go down to that front desk and just say
to the ladies again, I've fed you cheese its And.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Now I'm still dealing with this.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Although talking about it on the air might today get
Corey over to your house, But I like, see what's
going on, Like, what's Corey up to? If Corey I don't.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
I mean, it's a large property, many different tendons. There
may be some people with more pressing matters than I,
but it's gone beyond the time of understanding.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Like zach situation.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I said to Zach, if you own a property and
you're using an app as a way to try to
fulfill any issues, I don't care if it's on Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter,
or that guy's birthday. You got to have somebody there
for emergency services and it's freezy.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Is that it took so long to get someone It's craziness.
Contact me.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Hold on a second. I want to know now. Forget
about giving Kevy advice on the ASCRO account. We've already
been there and done that. I want to ask people
what is the one reason why they didn't pay their rent?
I want to hear why you guys said I'm not
paying my rent? And then I want to know what
happened to you? Are you in jail right now? Are
you living out on the streets?

Hey?
Speaker 8 (09:10):
Listen, listen, listen. It's been all sorts of situations. Cuz,
first off, you should have called I mean that mouse.
Thing's a huge issue.
Speaker 12 (09:18):
Bro.
Speaker 8 (09:18):
We had that same issue at my crib and it
was like, it's like, Bro, they tried to tell me
that the mouse came from under the dishwasher. I said, no,
it did not. I was like, it did not come
from under the dishwasher. And we had a little brown
mouse being our house and it ran across the stove.
It came from under the door. They tried to come
in and tell you that it was not going to
happen again, this and that, and they ended up. I
(09:40):
told him, I said, Bro, we're not going to pay
rent because they charged us fifty dollars for our dog.
I'm like, Bro, if you charge fifty dollars for our dog,
I'm like, Bro, you need to charge that little mouse
fifty dollars.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Absolutely the bro they got. That's how I feel.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
I feel, honestly, BRO, Like I don't my or isn't
wide open. I come straightening even when I have groceries.
I pulled my little card in. I shut the door
right behind me. Nothing is about to run past me
without me seeing it. I saw the little mouse one time,
seen it one time, came in the store, came in
the kitchen. I was like, oh dang, One thing I
do not play with is mice. So I screamed and
(10:20):
then went back in there. And then when we pulled
back the stove, I've seen this whole. I'm like, clearly
they doing work to the place next door. I'm like,
you must have came through there, Megan, what's happening.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
I don't like that.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Hi, good morning, I'm Megan. Why did you not pay
your rents?
Speaker 8 (10:35):
Okay?
Speaker 11 (10:35):
So before me and my husband got married, we were
living in an apartment with our children, and he did
like little side hustles, so he.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
Was doing like instacart and stuff.
Speaker 11 (10:45):
So some people little, you know, like elderly ladies would say, hey,
can you just carry them into the house for me,
They're a little bit too heavy, and he would and everything.
So he would sometimes go in and out of other
people's houses. But we were at home and I felt
something on my face and I thought it was like
my hair, so I moved it away, and it was
(11:07):
not my hair. It was, in fact a bed bug. Yes,
And so we went ahead and we knew it did
not come from us, like at all whatsoever, Like bedbugs
don't just.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
You know, I understand, But did you not pay your
rent because you had bed bugs. Because if you did
not pay the rent, why did you admit to the
fact that you brought the bed bugs in by your
husband going into people's places.
Speaker 11 (11:31):
The front office. We took it to the front office
and the sandwich bag, and we're like, hey, we're having
this issue. We need like some type of inspector or
somebody that you guys have to come look at it
and see, like what's going on. And they looked at
the bed bug and they looked at us, and they go,
it looks like a gnat. And I was like dumbfounded.
(11:53):
I'm like, you think I caught one of those freaking
nets flying around in a kitchen and put it in
a sandwich bag and brought it up here and said
it was a bed bug. They are significantly different in appearance.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
So what happened? Did you just not pay again? Did
they take care of it?
Speaker 11 (12:11):
They didn't charge us rent for the next month?
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Good?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Come on? They did you guys?
Speaker 11 (12:18):
They did make but we did tell them that we
weren't paying.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I would make them. Yeah, kill the bed bugs, I know.
She admitted, well, she admitted it.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
With her story. She admitted that her husband brought it.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
I honestly would rather have a mouse than a bed bug. Absolutely,
I mean there's no doubt about that one. I would rather, honestly, Aroach,
I will honestly tell you that I think that there
was You think that when there's one mouse, there's a
bajillion mouses, mices, mice, roaches are gross.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
There's them to wait.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
What were you infested with at your place that made
you stop paying rent, Jennifer.
Speaker 6 (12:59):
I had a beat festination, a b infestation.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
And how long did it take them to come and
spray for the bees?
Speaker 6 (13:08):
Well, they came and spray most of the times, but
they just didn't go away. I think I had it
for like three weeks. And it wasn't just like one bee.
It was like my bed was covered in bees. I
got stung, my dog got stung.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Oh my gosh, that's awful. So how long did you
stop paying rent for?
Speaker 6 (13:25):
I did? They wouldn't let me.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
They were all, well, you should have done the escroad thing.
I learned about this today. There's an escrow thing, Stephanie.
What did you get infested with that you made you
stop paying rent?
Speaker 11 (13:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 14 (13:39):
So when I lived in Arizona, we had cock coaches
like crazy. Where it was to the point where we
would have them in bat and bringing them up to
the front desk and they would be like sorry, like
that's just how it is.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yeah. So their cockroaches have an accent too. By the way,
did you know that? What did they sound like?
Speaker 11 (14:01):
Hi?
Speaker 12 (14:02):
For?
Speaker 14 (14:02):
Every time I cook tacos, they'd be out like crazy.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
I'm telling you, Wow, that's crazy. How about this one, Jessica,
stop paying rent?
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Why I didn't stop paying rent it?
Speaker 14 (14:21):
But I don't pay more than one pet deposit when
I have more than one pet, because it's two hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Oh my gosh, sneaking pey. So what do you do?
How do you hide the pets? Do they both look alike?
Speaker 10 (14:31):
I just hand pet sitting.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Okay, And they can't charge you for that for having
a business out of your place.
Speaker 14 (14:38):
No, I'm just pet sitting for a family.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Member, okay. All right, that's the one where you say
charged me.
Speaker 14 (14:44):
Almost twelve hundred a month and they updated anything on
our on our duplex. Yeah, and we've lived there since
twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
I'm not going to lie to you, though. If I'm
the neighbor that has to step in all your dog's crap.
I'm probably wanting you to have to pay all that money.
Speaker 10 (15:02):
Yeah, we have our own yard. It's like a separate yard,
and my.
Speaker 14 (15:07):
Animals go and have a certain spot.
Speaker 10 (15:10):
They actually go ploty and we pick up after them.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Okay, so says every dog owner. Hold on. Emily stopped
paying rent for a reason. She didn't have a roof.
What happened to your roof?
Speaker 12 (15:26):
So we lived in Florida and Hurricane Ian came along
and it rained really really hard. And when we first
came back to our house to check on it, because
we went inland, like fifteen miles away from the storm,
and when we came back, there was a little bit
of leaking, and our property management company was like, oh,
you know what, we'll put a tarp on it. We'll
get it fixed, no worries. They're like, you know what,
(15:48):
if you can just go to Michigan on vacation for
like a week and come on back, we'll get it
all fixed. We come back and they had not put
a tarp on our roof, and our entire roof caved in.
They literally were like, by the way, rench you next week,
but you're going to have to move out in twenty
four hours, try to grab it and.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Know where to go.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
It was a nightmare.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
What actually, hey, we.
Speaker 12 (16:16):
Moved back to Michigan. Here we are, Hey, so welcome.

haven't seen it in I haven't seen it though he's gone.
He's like a month and you're dealing with a hole
in your wall. This woman has got no roof over
