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, 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. It was removed from
(00:34):
the wall. 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.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
It's not something I should 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 (00:52):
I'll go in there. I tell them 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.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Talking to ye gave your wife great?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yeah, just cheese.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
But I thought he was like giving like like hard
to find cheesus artists on Jesus, Yes, like artists.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
And chocolates and from Bun.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
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 that run or everything,
and then they no, no, no, no, Corey ain't showed up yet.
So I'm like, okay, I don't want to be there
(01:37):
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.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
It has been almost a month now and I ain't
seen Corey yet. Where's Coy? I don't know where the
hell Cory Corey.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Corey definitely still worked there, because I've checked in a
couple of times, like, oh we didn't Corey hasn't come
by yet.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
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. Honestly, though what he said,
that's their end of the bargain that they're not but
that's not in the bargain.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
So I'm just supposed to just live and pay it
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.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Okay, would do the right thing.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
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 2 (02:38):
It's like, yeah, but that could be so dangerous. But
he's got going on there. I mean, I.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Feel like I'm in the right. I'm gonna be honest
with you. We got to stand up, bro, we can
just okay what happens. You could use that same approach
with anything. You could say, Mike, I bought a car.
In 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.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
To come fix things. This is the thing that needs
to be fixed, all right.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
I just ask why you were moving a stove to
begin with.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I saw a mouse dog 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. This is an aery.
That's why I was like, y'all need to come steal
this beach up. Honestly, they need to spray too and
try to kill the mouse. I ain't see.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
There's plenty that now. If anybody shouldn't be paying his rent,
it should be Zach. You've got Zach in here right now,
because Zach has had a really tough situation.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Explaining what happened to you.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
Uh 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 1 (04:03):
It's you have a you have a water feature coming
out of the ceiling.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yes, But the thing is, I don't have a cory.
I don't have a front desk cory.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
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 (04:24):
Zach?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I feel like you have to elaborate. This was not
a leak where you had a bucket. You had buckets.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
Buckets like and it was brown. It was brown water.
I can't even It's kind of funny.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Now did you put your rent?
Speaker 6 (04:38):
I did because I didn't want to get in trouble.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Did the landlord make it right?
Speaker 7 (04:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (04:44):
So this upcoming month it's I'm only paying, Like.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Well, did they did they? I would hope they did this?
Did they check for mold or anything like that?
Speaker 6 (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 there's 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 8 (05:16):
So, have you put your money into like an escual account,
like your actual full rent and then when they come
around say you haven't paid your rent and be like, no,
I have my rent. It's in an escoral 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 8 (05:36):
No, but I've read enough of the agreement.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Okay, so hold on, I said, Katie is and Katie
said the same exact thing that you said.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
So let me bring her on here. Katie.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
You're in property management man, and you agree with Devin.
Put it in an ESCRO account.
Speaker 7 (05:50):
Yeah, 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 you your end
of court saying that it's an ASCRO 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 do you guys say the ASCRO account? I
don't know what that will have to look into that, Kevin. Uh,
I think the rats are bigger or the mouse is bigger.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
I've never had to deal. And then they tried 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? Noy?
Speaker 9 (06:35):
Hey, So I'm an ex property manager retired, so I
heard the other people talking out and give the same input.
But I'm going to add to it. If you go
to your bank and tell them 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 9 (06:54):
For rent, were specifically for rent, they'll label it. They
label it that way. So and when you show the statement,
it'll it'll have that on there to show the course
that this is safe just for the rent.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Now why can't that? Why?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
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 now I'm still dealing with this,
although talking about it on the air might today get
Corey over to your house, But I.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Like, see what's going on, Like, what's Corey up to?
If I don't.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
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.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Of understanding, like Zach's 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.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
And it's crazy that it took so long to get someone.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
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 in jail right now? Are you
living out on the streets?
Speaker 6 (08:23):
You know?
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I want to know exactly what the story is. Eight

the Escro people off the phones.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Lydia, I want to know blind I didn't even have
her on a hole.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
I got eight calls.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I got eight thousand other calls that literally are the
same thing I want to I want people that have
not paid the rent and what the reasons why they
didn't pay the rent. I want to hear the bad
apartment stories. Those are the things I wanted.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
They had to go to Miami. Oh, Jay's one? Maybe there?
Speaker 10 (09:05):
Joe? What up?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
What's going on? Buddy?
Speaker 6 (09:07):
You did?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Why did you not pay your rent?
Speaker 7 (09:10):
Hey?
Speaker 12 (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. Bro. 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
(09:32):
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 end up. I 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 3 (09:53):
Absolutely, Bro, That's how I feel. I feel, honestly, BRO,
like I don't or isn't wide open. I come straightening
even when I have groceries. I pulled my little CARDI in,
I shut the door right behind me. Nothing is about
to run past me without me seeing it. I saw
in the little mouse one time, seen it one time,
came in the store, came in the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
I was like oh dang. One thing I do not
play with is mice.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
So I screamed and then went back in there, and
then 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 2 (10:30):
I don't like that. Hi, good morning, I Megan, why
did you not pay your rents?
Speaker 10 (10:35):
Okay, 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 was doing like
instacart and stuff.
Speaker 13 (10:45):
So some people.
Speaker 10 (10:46):
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.
Speaker 13 (10:58):
But we were sit at.
Speaker 10 (11:00):
Home and I felt something on my face and I
thought it was like my hair, so I moved it away,
and it was not my hair. It was, in fact
a bed bug. Yes, yes, And so we went ahead
and we knew it did not come from us, like
at all whatsoever, Like bedbugs don't.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Just 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 the front office.
Speaker 10 (11:32):
We took it to the front office and the sandwich bag,
and we're like, hey, we're having this issue.
Speaker 11 (11:37):
We need like some type.
Speaker 10 (11:38):
Of inspector or somebody that you guys had 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. 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.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Here and said it was a bed bug.
Speaker 10 (12:01):
They are significantly different in appearance.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
So what happened? Did you just not pay? Again? Did
they take care of it?
Speaker 10 (12:10):
They didn't charge us rent for the next month? Good
they did.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
You guys did make.
Speaker 10 (12:20):
But we did tell them that we weren't paying.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
I would make them, Yeah, kill the bed bugs. I know.
She admitted, well, she admitted it with her story.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
She admitted her husband brought I honestly would rather have
a mouse than a bed bug.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Absolutely, I mean, there's no doubt about that. I would rather.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I will honestly tell you that I think that there
was you think that when there's one mouse, there's a
bajillion mouses.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Mices, roaches are gross. 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 2 (12:59):
I had a beat and station a b infestation. And
how long did it take them to come and spray
for the bees?
Speaker 11 (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 11 (13:25):
I did? They wouldn't let me.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
They will all be well, you should have done the
escroad thing. I learned about this today. There's an escrow thing.
H 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 bring them up to
the front desk and they would be like sorry, like
that's just.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
How it is.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
So their cockroaches have an accent too.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
By the way, did you know that? What did they
sound like?
Speaker 5 (14:01):
High?
Speaker 11 (14:01):
For?
Speaker 14 (14:02):
Every time I cook tacos, they'd be out like crazy.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
I'm telling you, Wow, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
How about this one, Jessica stopped paying rent?
Speaker 5 (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 pay. So what do you do?
How do you hide the pets? Do they both look alike?
Speaker 8 (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.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Pet sitting for a family member, okay.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
All right, that's the one where you say.
Speaker 14 (14:43):
Charge me almost twelve hundred a month and they updated
anything on our on our duplex.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Yeah, and we've lived there since twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I'm not going to lie to you, though.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
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 5 (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. They actually go
plotty and we pick up after them.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Okay, so says every dog owner said, hold on, Emily
stopped paying rent for a reason. She didn't have a roof.
What happened to your roof?
Speaker 13 (15:26):
So we lived in Florida and Hurricane Ian.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
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.
Speaker 13 (15:44):
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, 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.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
Our roof, and our entire roof caved in.
Speaker 13 (15:59):
Oh you literally were like, by the way, rent due
next week, but you're gonna have to move out in
twenty four hours. Try to grab it and he know
where to go.
Speaker 11 (16:11):
It was a nightmare.
Speaker 13 (16:12):
What hey, we 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. 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
