- I hope Beasts of the Southern Wild wins! -- nm - prayformojo Jun 27, 15:14
Figures I would go perfect on that Jack Attack. -- nm - Dano Jun 27, 15:10
IYC - Eviction update: My friend has until Friday to move out. I met with the real landlord. - Krusty Jun 27, 15:04 43
- oh hell no, that lease is legit, the fake was acting as an agent and real landlor has to deal with his intermediary - zeitgeist Jun 27, 15:28 2
  - How is the lease legit if someone other than the landlord, without landlord's knowledge, set it up? -- nm - kelly Jun 27, 15:48 1
    - it's not. it's sort of like saying someone who steals merchandise from a store is then an agent of the store when they sell the goods. -- nm - b. Jun 27, 15:50
- ugh. unfortunately, that kind of thing (minus the outright crazy) has been happening quite a bit locally with empty foreclosures. - b. Jun 27, 15:26 6
  - man, I had no idea. next time I'm looking for a place I will have to check out the landlord. -- nm - loosilu Jun 27, 15:30 5
    - apparently, it happened a lot in the 70s with foreclosures and then made a comeback in recent years with the upsurge. -- nm - b. Jun 27, 15:39
    - Me either. I never would have thought to check if the person renting me the place was allowed to do it. - Krusty Jun 27, 15:34 3
      - going forward, errybody gonna need a background check. -- nm - Diva Jun 27, 15:36 2
        
        Yup. -- nm - Krusty Jun 27, 15:37 1
        
        thinking back, a lot of the folks I've rented from could have been pulling that scam, and in most cases, I would have not known. -- nm - loosilu Jun 27, 15:38
- This is legitimately one of the worst cons I've ever heard in real life. -- nm - David Jun 27, 15:18 1
  - I didn't believe it when he told me. I though he just messing with me. - Krusty Jun 27, 15:20
- Oops...there's more and this is the craziest part to me. The fake landlord called the cops. - Krusty Jun 27, 15:11 27
  - Wow...And your friend probably has no way of getting the money back -- nm - amoxy Jun 27, 15:39 3
    - Nope. He could sue him, he might, but he'd never see a dime. - Krusty Jun 27, 15:41 2
      - it kinda sounds like fake guy won't be at home. -- nm - loosilu Jun 27, 15:42 1
        
        Not until he gets out of central booking but he's going to get out eventually. - Krusty Jun 27, 15:44
  - This is absolutely crazy. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 27, 15:26
  - he probably had lunch with Jennifer and had the salad. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 27, 15:24 1
    - I'm gonna pick up the phone and we're gonna call Jennifer. Then I'm gonna ask her what she had for lunch. -- nm - Diva Jun 27, 15:36
  - this is sooooo strange - prayformojo Jun 27, 15:16 1
    - He seemed like a normal dude. Nothing about him or the situation seemed strange. My friend has a signed lease. The fake guy was at the property - Krusty Jun 27, 15:18
  - "The fake landlord called the cops. I repeat, the fake landlord called the cops." ('Catfish' spoiler inside) - Diva Jun 27, 15:15 1
    - oh yeah -- nm - prayformojo Jun 27, 15:16
  - $10 the fake landlord has open arrest warrants :))) -- nm - peglegpete Jun 27, 15:14 2
    - I'm betting he's doing this at other houses he's done work on. - Krusty Jun 27, 15:37 1
      - agreed -- nm - peglegpete Jun 27, 15:43
  - The real landlord is a very nice young guy. 26 years old and owns multiple properties in Brooklyn and Queens. He's going to help my friend move his - Krusty Jun 27, 15:14 7
    - where the hell is he going to go, he's out dposit money, the management issue is so cloudy it give the tennent good standing -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 27, 15:31
    - glad he is trying to be decent about it. -- nm - loosilu Jun 27, 15:31
    - that's tremendously nice. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 27, 15:25 4
      - I talked with him for more than an hour. He's a very nice guy. He feels awful about the situation my friend is in. - Krusty Jun 27, 15:32 3
        
        oh, I was wondering about your comment re: protecting himself. it's the repairs that are the thing? - b. Jun 27, 15:35 2
        
        He's selling the house. He buys property in low income neighborhoods, rehabs them and then sells them. He doesn't want to be a landlord for renters. -- nm - Krusty Jun 27, 15:43 1
        
        ah. I can see that. -- nm - b. Jun 27, 15:46
  - he called... wow. -- nm - loosilu Jun 27, 15:13 4
    - that's....something -- nm - Remlik Jun 27, 15:22
    - I couldn't believe it. It's the one thing that my friend could laugh about today. -- nm - Krusty Jun 27, 15:15 1
      - at least he saved everyone the trouble. -- nm - loosilu Jun 27, 15:31
    - I am glad he did. And now he is arrested. This whole thing is terrible. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 27, 15:14
- ouch. my best to your friend, and worst to the fake landlord -- nm - peglegpete Jun 27, 15:06
- [deleted]
- that's horrible. what a nasty human being. I hope he gets locked up. Your poor friend. -- nm - loosilu Jun 27, 15:04
