Tenants Vs Landlords

[pugboy]

what grounds you used for eviction ?

[Chimera]

had a tenant a time who when she left, stole everything from the doors to the light sockets to the sink faucet

Drive-by shooting was enough reason because it meant that someone in the house was a target. There were young children in the house at the same time and I did not want my name calling as the owner of a house in which little children were killed in a drive by.

I also used endangerment to nearby residents of the community.

Also damage to property caused by the bullets (inside and outside the house).

Sounds like she was building something to live in and use your apartment as a free hardware. Is either that, or she REALLY didn't like you.

That's why it's good practice, as a landlord, if at all possible, to be present when tenants leaving, particularly to conduct your inspection. After inspection, and all good, look yuh deposit, and fare thee well.
Things damage and missing, what deposit? You will get what left after I fix the damage you did and replace what missing, if there's anything left.

One thing I could have never seen myself doing is building apartments for rent or renting out part of my house to strangers.Something about that financial investment is just not for me.Have a piece of land I'm currently developing and everyone in the area thinks it for apartments.Idk what giving them that idea but this thread just cement my thoughts on that topic.Idk how allyuh going through all that with people

[pugboy]

many landlords really dont care, it is a business(as it should be)

they hire a property manager to deal with the issues of them sufferers and there is no connection between
the landlord's living standards and what they renting out

It's a great investment to hand down to your kids as well. Basically guaranteed income and an asset that can be used for further development.

At best it would be very awkward.

Realistically, it's a terrible idea. I can't imagine such an arrangement involving the worst people I encountered in my renting days.

If you're in a deep financial hole and need some cashflow, it's a good idea.

Other than to that, NAH!!! Decline in privacy, higher chance of petty complaints, dealing with visitors/strangers, tenants pocket watching, and pet peeves you didn't know you have. According to the tenants you get their behaviors might be a turn off. If there are disagreements, there is the possibility it can get volatile. Worse if you are trying to get rid of them and now you have to live with that bad energy and tension in and around your own home.

Also when you start renting the same place you live, family members who looking for a place will pop up and expect you to "give them" the place, drop price, and several blighs. If you are too nice and lack assertiveness, they bold enough to take over.

[Rovin]

plenty ppl live upstairs their house & rent their downstairs but i wouldnt advise renting out adjacent on d same level ...

[pugboy]

lol and the relatives will be counting your rent for you and refer to you as “have apartments”

Understandable. Is not really something for anybody and everybody. There's benefits, and headaches to it.
What I will say is this.
It's a solid secure investment, if you know how to do it right, and not just for yourself immediately. It's a business that can generate revenue to support you in your later years, and also a very good way to give future generations a head start.

If your parents say they leaving you 3-4 rental properties that can net you an easy 15-20K/month, yuh gonna tell them "nah, me eh able wid dat sell it an gimme de morney"?

Ewwww no, unless you desperate AF.

Me personally cannot stand the unhygienic habits of strangers in my home. If its not the old noise it’s the mess and the stench.

Not a good idea in my opinion. Maybe on the rare case you get someone who works offshore or something. I mean 2 weeks on/ 2 weeks off kinda vibes.

that eh making sense...u cudda get a loan and buy a house instead of renting by now

While I empathize with her a bit, and she does have a point with the person being unprofessional, 4 children and 20 years renting?

You're right, if she found a decent place and took a typical 30 year mortgage, she would have 10 years remaining. It would not be easy and she would have to hold plenty strain with 4 children but at least she would be on the homestretch.

No deposit/deposit paid in installment + kids = HARD PASS
yuh want privacy? to view an apartment? No problem, that "privacy" go cost you a $500 non-refundable fee, and you need to make an appointment. With your appointment, you get 5 minutes grace, if you late, hard luck, I gone, pay another $500 and make a new appointment and learn to be on time/early and stop running on "trini time"

This way, yuh done kno, my place in order, I a good bit more serious than you, and I eh playing with my rent either. It eh have no "ahm, ah go handle yuh next 2 weeks boi boss, weh ah wukkin dey victimisin meh" in dis bidness

[paid_influencer]

lemme just chime in here, in defence of the worker...

she talking about renting an apartment, you wondering why she didn't take a loan to buy a house..

maybe, like most people on the island that live below the living wage, she couldn't afford to buy a house. Renting a fraction of a house (an apartment) is all she could afford from trading her labour.

and where are all the affordable houses in areas close to employment. (don't say HDC). the other day a man show me a plot of caroni land (2 acre) that zoned for agriculture and tell me he asking $500k, land alone, only thing you could do with it is hunt locust and snail. I want to know what kinda madness going on with land speculation that driving land prices into insanity, far and away from the level that the ordinary worker can afford.

[paid_influencer]

also the lady say "family of four"
so maybe two working adults and two children
her posts making her seem reasonable or at least considerate of the other party.

that first place she rented 20+ years ago would have been pre-kids, so likely a 1br or a studio. those types of apartments are normally less stringent about deposit and documentation. I really ent see anything there that so hard about what she asking, which is just a basic level of consideration.

Small kids mean flushed diapers and wipes. Damaged furnishings and walls. Clogged pipes.
Damage to other tenants property/vehicles. Then the whole risk of having children on the whole on premises.
