7
00:01:38.960 --> 00:01:54.960
thought it was gone to sleep. It has it woke up again. Well, >> uh, I got a call from one of the tenants saying the the new owner met with the tenants and she was all upset because the new owner wanted them all out.

8
00:01:54.960 --> 00:02:10.160
>> And I said, "Well, you can't >> what?" >> Yeah. >> Wanted them all out. Can't do that. They got to go to landlord tenant court. So then I said, "You have the contact information for the new owner." So they gave me the contact information for the new owner. I

9
00:02:10.160 --> 00:02:26.480
called the new owner. woman uh she started elf by saying, "But I can't pay the mortgage. I got to increase the rents. I got to get them I gota higher rent. They need higher rent." And I said, and she said, "I met with the tenants. Everybody was nice and everybody, you know, most of they all

10
00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:42.080
said they were going to leave." I said, "Well, this one I got a call from one of them saying they do not live, but how am I going to pay the mortgage?" >> I should have thought of that. >> Call the attorney. I I said to her, "Look, if you bought that property," she

11
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:58.640
said, "I paid Yeah. How much did you pay?" 1.2 million. Said, "If you overpaid for that property, you overpaid for it." And she said, "Well, the attorney for the seller represented that everybody would be out and you should be able to put new tenants in after." So, I

12
00:02:58.640 --> 00:03:15.280
said, "But your recourse is to go after the old that attorney. If you've got proof, go after the attorney." And I said, "If you want to come to the meeting, we meet on the second Thursday." I invited her to this meeting. I think she's going to show up, but uh so so that's the uh >> Does she have it in writing? Did she

13
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:31.680
>> Well, I said, "If you have proof, I said I'm not an her attorney, but >> she would have came if she had proof." >> That's what I would have if I were you, that's what I would do. If you property was misread88, >> you said that's the one, forgive me, where she was the old owner lied. the

14
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:47.440
old owner tried to >> say you had to be out and she said you were supposed to close December 5th. So cons it was consistent story with what I had heard before where the old owner said you have to be out December 1st because by December 15th I closed by December and this one she said they were

15
00:03:47.440 --> 00:04:04.400
supposed to close on Jesus December 15th. So there was a consistent. >> So there are rights she's not called to pay those clearly. >> No. >> What a shame. >> It's a four family. It's anti- eviction. They have to have a reason to evict them. >> Yeah. I mean, it's Yes. I I told you I

16
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:20.880
said to the tenant, they can't just kick you out. You've got no tenant court. They have to have cause and there are very few causes. >> But if you're paying your rent, if you're paying your rent, not causing a problem. >> Wait, if three of them agree, why are you going to court? Am I Am I wrong? >> Okay, I'll leave.

17
00:04:20.880 --> 00:04:36.560
>> If three of them leave, then we >> If I agree to leave, why do you have to? Right. >> Right. Right. But the one does not want to leave. >> I have to understand that. But the other three, they want to leave. They don't want to leave voluntarily around those three units. >> I understand. Yeah. You can't get rid of somebody. If they go to leave, you don't

18
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:54.520
have to go to court. Leave. >> But I don't want to keep you because they're probably paying a lot less time. >> I don't blame them. >> She called if this is all true. I kind of feel bad for the owner, but I don't because if you don't have this in

19
00:04:54.880 --> 00:05:11.280
if you could prove that the lawyer misrepresented the property, you have reason to go after. >> What's the average rent there? Do we know? Do you know? >> Um about 1300. >> Oh, my on. >> That's why they don't want to leave.

20
00:05:11.280 --> 00:05:28.000
>> They ain't going anywhere. >> Where they going to go? Right. So that that's the saga of that one. Then I have another phone call from a guy, but it's only a three three units. >> Okay. >> And it's got a store underneath and and three apartments >> above >> above and the landlord wants to increase

21
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:42.720
them 25%. >> The store the >> res apartment 25%. >> I said what are you paying? He said about $1,000. I said there is thing called

22
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:57.919
unconscionable increases but that's kind of vague as to you know and it's up to would be up to the rent board to determine but that's when I asked him what is he paying and I said so he's going to you know going to 1300 he said yeah about there and I said well that's going to be kind of difficult to

23
00:05:57.919 --> 00:06:15.759
>> it's all relative if he was paying 2500 we would we that would be a >> it was a yeah but he's so far under because he said he had to have an increase in what >> the old owner didn't is a new owner and and the old owner uh didn't go for much

24
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:32.000
increasing. >> The old-timers don't. >> No. So, that's my saga of landlord tenant issues. >> That's interesting. >> Just want to remind everybody about the disclosure statement. >> Did mine today?

25
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:48.000
>> So, I did mine. >> I that that email about it and >> I had problems. The link is in the email and I finally figured out >> the link is in the email but you need your ID and password. >> I was saved. Thank God I just then you

26
00:06:48.000 --> 00:07:03.599

29
00:07:35.280 --> 00:07:50.400
But that really wouldn't affect your making a judgment about a rent issue. >> No, but anybody who's a town official has to do it. Any town official has to do it. >> Um, so from the mayor on down, >> did the email come from you or

30
00:07:50.400 --> 00:08:05.280
