Landlords ONLY Please: What State has the strongest Landlord Rights?
I have been a landlord in Los Angeles for many years and I am sick to death of the loser tenants and the states willingness to allow them to hold property hostage when they don't comply with their contractual agreements. The latest is this jerk who moved in on a month to month rental of a room in a large home (10 bed, 4bath) at 800/mo plus a share of the utilities. His utilities were 63.00 for himself and 63.00 for his girlfriend and he owed 400.00 on an 800.00 deposit which he agreed to pay on the 1st of this month. He failed to pay the remaining deposit and is now failing to pay his utilities. I am sick of the California BS. It costs approximately 1500.00 and takes up to 12 weeks to actually evict this ah-ole. Where can I invest (what state) that actually protects a property owner? Does one exist? I really want to hear from other landlords, please. Thanks for reading.

permit him sell the abode. possibly you will get a greater effective landlord out of the deal. all people who buys the abode gets you with it. I choose that landlords had to be approved till now they could hire ingredients and that there become a board which you would be able to report lawsuits. If a landlord become got here upon to be breaking rules then the license is yanked and the owner can't deliver mutually hire or evict human beings till he/she gets a sparkling license. There are rules accessible however the enforcement is so spotty that landlords be responsive to that they are able to flee with very nearly something they choose to.

Anywhere but the East Coast - especially New England and the Tri State area - darn liberals give tenants all the rights.
Texas & Florida are very landlord friendly.

God that really f'n sucks!! I would have choked them by now. I think TEXAS is pretty great - i don't live there but I own property there. Of course situation varies, but from what I recall (only had to do it once) you can start filing an eviction claim 10 days after a late payment.
Oh by the way...your value doesn't increase a lot in TX - and people think $1000.00 for a 2 bed 2 bath is expensive so it's really hard finding tenants as well to cover your mortgage - there are lots of competition from APT complexes... =(

Landlords rights are about the same here in Maine, the only great thing is, rates in the two major cities are super high and the housing market isn't, so you can get some great property and be making a profit immediately. Our 2- 2 bedroom duplex apartments rent for $750 (heat and hot water inc with no washer/dryer) on one side and $850 (heat and hot water with washer/dryer hook up) on the other side.
