No way!?!? It’s cold out!?!?!

I’ll take this weather over that hellish heat any day

I agree and have been watching it for years. These kids are shockingly stupid and can't even see the outcomes of their own statements. The news panders to them with articles like this also because it only takes five more minutes of investigation to look to see the court cases on this property. Evil squatter robbing property owner isn't a story todays young adults understand.

I have to think it’s a failure of the education system, the 20 year old kids can’t qualify or afford a 300K mortgage (because 20’s) so are forced to rent and are upset with high rents thereby vilifying landlords . Pushing for more and more restrictive laws that only push more landlords out of the market raising prices even higher.

Such a vicious cycle of stupidity.

Story says he has a criminal history .

I hope they throw the book at him.

You are correct. I would never do it again and the few people who do are beaten not only by the states laws that prevent them from maintaining their property but by todays youth who somehow believe landlords are some special class of evil. I want to say I made 4% on the money I got from rents. I would make more money delivering newspapers than renting out to what has got to be the stupidest, most entitled, generation this country has ever produced. 20 hours a week for no money just isn't worth the bother to rent to these people.

I mean the man has a point , this guy isn’t on the lease! That’s a huge huge problem.

Maybe if he had been paying the rent on time she wouldn’t have gone to these extremes . It sucks that someone like this has to be treated the same via eviction as someone on the signed lease!

What’s sad is a lot of these guy just do not get it at all. The fact that it’s so hard to remove someone NOT LISTED ON THE LEASE is why a lot of individuals who could rent out a room in their home or even a second home just look at things and go “nahhhh”

Which means the rents that ARE available are so much higher (less supply) and only well qualified applicants are accepted.

Your point of view are why rents are so high and fewer and fewer small home owners with second homes or even primary residents will even rent anymore.

Someone not listed on the lease and not paying rent ? Ok bro here wasn’t on the lease but maybe just maybe if he had made the rent payments her and her crew might not have been so eager to evict someone giving them money.

Maybe if he had sold some of his guns he could have made rent 🤷🏿‍♂️

But you know the story , it’s some POS holdover with poor credit and apparently a criminal history who’s probably just trying to work the eviction system for as long as possible .

I went to one in Peace Dale and liked it. I’ll try Lincoln one too, thanks!

Lapatin said Watson has a criminal record. He is being held on $100,000 bail.

“Lapatin said Watson has a criminal record. He is being held on $100,000 bail.”

Yeah it’s always that sort of POS that does something like this, he was NOT on the lease .

The courts are SO slow to react ,I can entirely understand why people might take things into their own hands .

This lady probably took a chance and rented to someone without the best credit and he repaid her by allowing his POS cousin who definitely wouldn’t have passed a background check to stay over.

It should NOT be a big deal to remove someone not even listed on the lease when the primary tenant is no longer around . But no, you have to go through the ENTIRE eviction process as if you signed a legally binding contract with said party.

The take away here has to be you simply cannot take a chance on poor people. If the cousin had been middle class all she would have needed to do is start the eviction process and then sue for lawyers fees and anything else needed to cover the entire ordeal . A middle class individual would have the resources to allow the landlord to be made whole . A poor person does not.

How absolutely tragic.

Love!

The number one thing a landlord needs to do is properly screen their tenants. You just cannot rent to anyone and you most certainly must never rent to people with low credit scores and shoddy histories.

That’s how you end up with these types of situations. The cousin must have been poor or with little or no resources otherwise the thing to do would have been to simply go after him for all the fees involved in eviction/repair/the deposit ect.

cooler & warmer!

Unable to join you, but I've really enjoyed Rock Spot in Lincoln

Wait til they hear about the excessive trash driving on the highway

Funny how that works….

You didn’t have to use your generator.

You chose to.

Stop making excuses for our state leadership. Yet another winter with homeless peoples sleeping outdoors.

All or just one, because “Lower respiratory diseases” is now fifth

We go to 401 Strength and Fitness for the classes

Sa-Tang is my personal fave. Only downside is that they don't do Pho but the curries are awesome

Respiratory diseases were the 3rd leading cause of death before Covid.
