While listening to this story, realize that your Leftist friends & family members support the fully employed renter and loathe the lady who agreed to rent him her house. It’s not clear if such perversion of basic rights & wrongs is due to low IQs or mental illness.
If those in your circles disagree with this attribution of their views then ask them to post on social media that they disagree with Biden and the Democrats on this issue. If they refuse to do so then add “cowardice” to their list of personality traits.
Burn the house down, collect the insurance money and walk away. Problem solved.

Thinking along my lines…..have the house burglerized & the vermin eradicated with extreme prejudice….I’m sure theres some good old gang bangers available..??
Pity the Sopranos was only a TV show. I’m sure Tony would have known what to do for a small fee.
BTW – with or without the rent moratorium, Canada isn’t any better. I’ve come across many stories of deadbeat tenants (some very professional in their approach) who game the Landlord/Tenant protection scam to avoid paying rent for months, and in many cases years. I have an acquaintance who once had a professional woman tenant who stopped paying rent. She told him straight to his face it would cost him more in legal fees and lost rent to remove her than it would to bribe her to leave. His lawyer agreed and he paid her several thousand dollars to vacate (this was many years ago too). Just to rub salt in the wound, the Canada Revenue Agency (Revenue Canada at the time) disallowed this expense.
Nothing would entice me to become a landlord of a small rental property.
“low IQs or mental illness?” The answer is, of course, “Yes”.
Embrace the power of “and”.
Listening to Tim Pool. They want to drive the small landlord out so that the mega corps can buy up the housing. All part of the great reset.
The leftist totalitarians always tell us what they are going to do in advance, it just sounds so batshit crazy that people don’t believe they mean it until they actually get power and do it.
Here’s their future nirvana summed up in a comment from conference they were holding- “people will own nothing, and they will be happy”.
That’s it at the basic level. When you own something you control it. All of their policies on home ownership, automobiles, rental properties, etc. are with the ultimate goal of centralized control of everything with no individual autonomy.
They can’t stand that, for example, they could easily lock down urban areas with their manufactured Covid crisis but people around the country who owned any kind of property still retained the ability to avoid much of their control.
I took a a shot at that landlord crap many years. All it did was add to my general dislike for most people. It was the year the government of Ontario decided rent controls were a good thing. Well, it sure as hell wasn’t for landlords. Had they frozen all city and municipal property taxes maybe it wouldn’t have been so painful.

When SNL was funny, and the mutterings of “the black community” were still mocked for the stupidity and insanity they were. Now? It is mainstream to Cill my Landlordt … C-I-L-L … my Landlordt. CIlling your Landlordt is … institutionalized.
Landlord with a dead beat tenant? Talk to a tax lawyer. When the bum leaves, he/she/it needs to make you whole. Make sure your tenant is issued an income statement for any rent not paid. Let the IRS marinate their backside for a while.
What’s the maximum amount the tenant can claim was a “gift”.
Zero. Zip. Nada. A gift of that sort needs to be documented by the “giver”, or the IRS will treat it as undeclared income. The purported recipient (in this case, a pretty much self-admitted thief) can’t simply declare the benefits of theft as a gift.
rd’s idea is great. It’s legal, anyone can do it, and it doesn’t relieve the renter of the obligation to pay the back rent. True, it doesn’t help the landlord, but it may at least get the renter out.
I also wonder if it’s legal to place a lien on the renter’s property (appliances, furniture, vehicle, artwork, etc.).
