Guy's a lowlife.

Everyone here who's bitching about the system should get down on their knees and thank their lucky stars that they've never had to work their way through the system themselves.

Lol, 3/4's of the way through reading that article I thought, "Damn, I should post this on OT!" Then I remembered how I'd gotten there in the first place. :D

Pretty sure you need a licence to practice law to do that. And he's not a good lawyer, he's just belligernat and has nothing to lose.

I read the whole article, the dude has legal skillz. He out flanked Wells Fargo's lawyers, and several judges. And the measure of a lawyer isn't just if he "wins" his cases, its if he achieves his clients wishes, and in this case it's to live rent free, which so far he has succeeded in doing just fine.

Why doesn't he take all his legal knowledge and actually make a job out of it? It doesn't make any sense to me - he's essentially making $500/month in unpaid rent, and he could be making a lot more than that in court by representing others.

Yeah! I've been lucky with my housing to never have an issue with my landlord.

But its guys like this that make it harder for people who actually need the system.

If he were to pass the bar and start representing others, I think he could be brought up on ethics review and have his license revoked. The fact that he only ever represents himself lets him get away with a lot.

He doesn't necessarily have to do illegal stuff when representing others. Right now, he just does it as additional delay tactics but I'm sure he knows all the eviction laws and possibly bankruptcy laws and general real estate laws really well.

Even if he only got paid by 1/3 of his clients, I think he could do much better than the 500/month he's "earning" right now.

This isn't the first or last guy and this guy isn't even that good. He's been in jail and gotten actually evicted a few times. There was a post a while back where some lady in Florida delayed in the same house for 25 years or something ridiculous.

So do the landlords and banks that have tried to evict this low life piece of shit but that hasn't been effective either. Of course, there are not laws in place to help this trash out like the housing rules that he is raping.

Shakes head......completely fucked up system....completely fucked up.

To offer an opposing viewpoint for the sake of discussion, this is in fact legal with any of the properties I rent out. The sale of property and/or change in mortgage status takes precedence over tenant and said tenants have 30 days upon finalization of the sale to evict the premises.

I'd have been cool with it if I had been given 30 days. We came home from work to find ourselves locked out. In hindsight I should have been suspect when he gave the security deposit back a week earlier and said don't worry how you leave the place.

I should add I'm in no way justifying this guy's actions. I've seen way worse by tenants. Best friend inherited a trailer park when his mom died. Its the only place I've ever felt like maybe I should carry a gun. Luckily he sold it.
