An entitled tenant destroys my mother-loss property, causing over $100,000 in damages to her

0:06.6

expensive home in New York City. But Karma was on our side, as we were able to eventually get revenge on

0:12.9

this entitled tenant by not only winning a court case against him, but also winning over his house

0:18.2

15 years later. Here's what happened. So my mother-loss is a pretty well-off woman. She owns a

0:23.7

large number of rental properties, and her and her husband have a huge house located just

0:28.8

outside of New York City. It's got an outdoor pool, it's got a sauna, it has elevators and

0:33.8

then some. It is easily worth well into the seven figures mark, and it's only about five minutes

0:39.1

away from downtown Manhattan. Sadly, her husband passed away, and she remarried and moved out of

state. She put the house up for rent shortly afterwards. A broker approached her with two

perspective tenants. Now the tenants were music producers, and had some legitimate stuff on their

1:14.4

of years, the business guy and Ben had some sort of falling out, with the business guy leaving and

1:19.6

Ben sticking around. At first, he continued to pay his rent on time, but after a few months,

1:24.8

it kept getting later and later. By itself, it's not the worst thing. When you own real estate,

1:30.0

it kind of comes with a territory, but he started to get really aggressive as my mother-law kept

1:35.2

insisting that she needed to be paid. My mother-law is not a mean person, and she values politeness

1:41.0

and manners above all else. Finally, my mother-law had had enough, so she had to evict him. After the

1:47.4

eviction, they went through the house and assessed over $100,000 in damages. There were cigarette
