Landlord tried to get her evicted problem child to move into my community

This was a first for me today. A lady comes in asking for info to help "a friend". She is even willing to pay the app fee and hold fee. At first I'm thinking "What a great friend", but remembering lessons learned from Simon Sinek's "Start with Why", I decided not to make an assumption, and get more information. Well, her story finally included the tell-tell statement "To be perfectly honest with you.....". Oh please do!
Long story short, she is his LANDLORD and just came from court where she just got a judgement for eviction. She went on to say "I had to evict him because of all the drug dealers that came to his place".
She wanted to get rid of him SO BAD she was willing to pay his application fee and hold fee to get rid of him.

That is a first for me!

hilarious

My current landlord ended up paying the previous occupant over $4k to get her to move out of the house.
Overall not bad residents, but a lot of parties and negligible upkeep on the yard.

This is why landlord references are questionable.

That is absolutely unbelievable!!

Just when you thought you heard it all

Dianne Morrill , yes and then tomorrow is a new day and you hear something else.

That's a new one!

Crazy. Mental. Yet Funny ????

Oh my....

Brilliant why haven’t I thought of that?!?! LOL

And that is the true value of the "landlord reference"

Thanks for the laugh, I really needed it today.

Renae Maisano she probably would have given him a good reference on paper if it had come to that point. ????. Actually she tried. She said "It's not like he didn't pay. He always pays".

Keri Parker Clark exactly. The exiting landlord has no requirement to be honest. We get more and more forms back with the notation of "against company policy"

Thanks, but no thanks

This shit would happen to us ????

Wow. Glad you avoided bringing the cartel to your property... love Simon Sinek by the way!

Wow???? Just when I thought I heard it all!

I have called landlord references many time and been given bs answers just to get rid of them. Even by Licensed Property Managers. I will not deceit ever on a reference, they are, what they are, I have no problem kicking them out especially with the courts permission...
