That's definitely true about people getting the whole island and Honolulu confused. And they've actually put up a decent amount of new single families and townhomes in ewa beach in the last couple of years. Some in kapolei too. Which has made the traffic even worse.

Had to do 2 evictions last year (surprisingly this is my first time ever having it go that far).
Very thankful none of my tenants tried that Covid **** on me. I ain't Gon front I would've probably took the street route with that. I sometimes have to remind people they are stealing from my family (and I don't play about my family) when they try to get funny with the rent etc.

The same tenant that I had to evict flushed those wet wipes (that your not supposed to flush) and clogged my pipes.. cost me 9k to get new plumbing. Was about to lose my mind

I have in my contracts that would be tenants are held responsible if they flush those wipes

Yeah, I have in my lease that they're responsible but lawyers said send it to small claims court (where I'll probably never see it). California R.I.P.

In NY you'd be arrested and barred from entering your own property going the street route. Every now and then in NY LL tenant relations boil over into violence. LL's got no juice in NY.

Ridiculous all that for removing someone from YOUR property for trying to live rent free

What are they claiming for the COVID moratorium? How are they qualifying for that? Are they actually unemployed? If not how do the courts not see that they have an income and just won't pay rent?

Anybody else write the house number on their trash cans? At my old neighborhood this was a normal thing but I’m the only one in my new neighborhood that does this. Recently watched a home insurance commercial and kinda feel washed now.

The garbage company in my city writes it on there for you. I thought it was normal practice. Now the phone number is a diff story lol

No documentation required, just "attestation", must be nice. I've been talking with a lawyer and basically theirs nothing I can do, and will continue to be nothing I can do in the near future.

My homegirl in Florida was renting with a friend of hers who stiffed her on the last months rent and had 5k in domages because the friend had an interior design degree and kept redesigning the room and balcony every 2 weeks.
My friend and the now ex-roommate are apparently not on speaking terms. She wanted to know if it's worth taking the ex-roommate to small claims court for the judgement. It will cost her money she doesn't have right now for court, plus there is no guarantee of payment.
I told her try to negotiate with leasing company buy the best they could do is Settle at 3800.
My friend is also realizing she needs to buy soon. She is a pretty, single woman in her 30's, she initially wanted to wait until in a relationship before buying because she wanted a partner to help her with the maintenance, however she recently realized if she continues to wait rent will just keep going up and she is even less likely to be in a buying position.
I really feel for shorty I know 5K isn't a ton to many of us but this will be a difficult hole for her to climb out of.

We’re they both on the lease or just her?
Sounds like maybe she wasn’t because otherwise she should be held liable for her portion. If not I would gamble and do it. But then again with no proof of her being on the lease, she could easily be like idk what you talking about

Both her and the ex roommate were on the lease... the old roommate just gives no ****. Credit really doesn't matter to a certain portion of society.

Sounds like the leasing company needs to chase after the roomate and not your friend.

How can she be responsible then? That’s kinda not fair. Tenants have rights. If the leasing company won’t budge I’d take them to court too

I would guess they are just seeking damages from the renters since they were both on lease. From a landlord perspective I get it.
It was a man and woman on a lease, it is easy to assume they could be a couple that ended badly (which they were not).
