Do NOT Evict Your Tenant
Danny called me today and told me he was in the process of evicting his ehs1804 tenant, a single father with a daughter who have owed him $6,000. I asked him if he needed the money to pay mortgage of condo, he said No, the condo is paid off. I asked him if he needed the money to pay his garage bills, he said No. I asked him if he needed the money to pay his $700 per month PSE&G a/c bills, he said No. In fact, he is a millionaire going to Rutgers church every Sunday.
I asked him isn't that Bible tell you to help your little brother? He said he had run out of patience. I asked him what would happen if the tenant could not pay rent? He said he will evict the tenant and the daughter. They would have to pay $450 atterney fee, and animal control cost to remove the dog. They would have to worry about to move all his stuff out, or by law, all the property left would be the landlord's. The tenant also has to worry about the daughter can not go back to Edison School because he would not sign the paper.
Well, this really made me upset because, according to many homeless families came to me, their stuff were "taken by their landlord". Well, when a family can not afford to pay rent and under eviction, where can they move their stuff? Some told me they managed to move their stuff to storage, but months later, they could not pay the rent of the storage, all stuff were auctioned off by the storage.
I told Danny to have his tenant to send me email, and I would created a private Yahoo support group to help his tenant to catch up the rent to get by. Isn't this funny? Your friend is evicting his tenant, and you try to help the tenant pay the rent?
