Man pays $30K in rent, faces eviction

[PadreBrian]

He should have read our board. You NEVER give a landlord that much deposit.

If it’s too good to be true, it is.

new trend

Something I’ve been seeing recently is that there are many renters who are in absolutely no position to move because they are living paycheck to paycheck, have no savings, and as a result, cannot move into a new place. The new place requires at the least, first month’s rent and a security deposit (and many places require last month’s rent as well).

For expensive rentals like San Diego, this requirement can be very prohibitive. In cases where the previous landlord cannot return the security deposit, there’s no way they can find a new rental. So if they are evicted, they are essentially homeless.

Those of us landlords who try to be fair and honest are embarrassed by this type of scuzy behavior. In CA, landlords can be made to pay triple the deposit if they do not return it within the alloted three weeks, with full documentation for any deductions. It is a good law. These jilted tenants should go straight to a lawyer or directly to small claims court.
