If you were not paid to for doing your job would you still do it same concept. Can’t run a building without money to run it. They don’t have to be homeless they can move upstate where land is cheap. They are choosing to stay and do the landlord is choosing to increase the rent simple as that. You are always welcome to share your home with the homeless if you are so concerned about them.

That’s the bigger issue a lot of these people in Los income housing rent stabilized or projects were never taught financial literacy and do have no ability to properly manage finances to get thendelfd out of poverty. I have friends that we’re in poverty but learned financial literacy and the importance of an education and’s not they’re a controller at s small hedge fund. Without proper education and financial literacy will determine if they’ll break the cycle of generational poverty living off the government programs

Ba CB k in the 870s/80s building were taken over by the government they couldn’t handle the tenants so ended up selling it of. Sometimes tenants are purposefully destroying apartments to try to get nicer apartments or to not pay rent. When rents are low there’s limited funds to make such repairs often there are no funds for repairs so the building just gets left to fall into shambles

That last sentence basically sums it all up what’s gets me about this article I’d the person used I’d in the healthcare industry and they still qualify for a voucher. Most people working in healthcare are capable of managing money well enough to afford their own place. So something is up. Nyc needs to teach financial literacy in grade school if they ever want to get out of this mess

Goes beyond that. I have a section 8 tenant snd I’ve been trying to get section 8 to recognize and record the signed legal lease amount for 3 year 6 years everyone said something different no one can get it done attorneys I’ve spoken with Day the courts can’t do anything about it. So we have to fit here snd eat the loss because they govt can’t get it straight. Aldo everyone that works there is a different form of incompetence they as ll need to be retrained. Mind you this voucher holder doesn’t even live in the apartment and the daughters baby daddy lives there illegally. Often when dealing with couches landlords hands are tied so why bother deal with it when someone qualified comes along looking to rent. There’s no reason to.

It goes deeper then that. I listed an apart last month for three days got 40 inquiries and 10 vouchers. They’re not only competing amongst themselves but also the working class with steady income.

On top of that I was informed by another realtor that while you accept a section 8 voucher it can take three months to process the paperwork. In that three months you can easily get someone else in there’s. And not have to eat the loss. On top of that it’s almost impossible to get a voucher holder out of an apartment.

There’s little landlords can do to curb a nuisance especially with the tenant friendly housing laws. It takes a really long time to evict in nyc that’s if you can even evict them Eviction of the only solution and’s that would be upwards of a year to 3 years and that if OP e we ny to testify in courts on behalf of the landlord.
