Im sorry but their child having a "disability" is no excuse!

I own a few rental properties. Recently I had to go to the courts to remove a family from one of my properties. I have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to my rent. Basically one strike and you're out. I don't care what the reason is, if you can't afford to pay the rent, you don't need to be there.
These tenants came to me pleading with me to work with them. All because her husband chose poorly and chose a job that had no stability. I can't help it if he was unwise in his job decision. So he got laid off. Not my problem. Then they said they had no where else to go, and that their son has ADHD. How he was in an established place, and it would be crushing for him to have to move so suddenly. They also complained that they hadn't the money to move and they will essentially have to lose most of their belongings. It's still not my problem.
So what! I really could care less about your kids losing their things. I have bills to pay too! I have a $5600 mortgage of my own to pay. I have two $650 dollar car payments. I have utilities to pay too. My 15 YO is planning an 8 week trip to Europe this may. And that's not cheap! Not to mention, I need to have money to pay for my sons graduation present. I was planning on buying him a Porsche Boxster. I can't afford any of this if I was to feel sorry for every sob story I heard out there. Its not going to happen.
Ever hear of " its a dog eat dog world" Its a true statement. If you can't afford the finer things in life then you need to live within your means. If you can't get a great job that will prove stability, then you should know where you are in life. You are at the bottom. You and your offspring are not entitled to anything. So get over it. I can't believe people. Really?!
And i hope, if you ever do, that someone has more compassion than you are showing these people.
I really feel desperately sad that you are no more human than you are. And i feel desperately sad that your children are being raised with you as a mother- they need to know compassion and they obviously won't learn it from you. :(
Wow, I mean, I do understand that you should not overextend yourself, but you sound like you lead a fairly privilaged life. While I do agree you cant provide free housing for people, I have NO sympathy for you efforts to buy your son a Porche for Graduation or send your kid to Europe. How about letting them make their own way in the world instead of handing them everything? Your "rant" makes you sound like a pamperd spoiled bitch. Maybe you should think about how your words and feelings indicate a total lack of compassion for other human beings, and make you look like a child.
I can't understand why anyone would be so cold hearted. I was a landlord for 2 years before we sold our property and I always tried to work with the people renting from us. How could you just throw someone out on their ass in this economy? Finding a job is hard enough and how was this guy supposed to know he would be laid off. My neice is on mild adhd meds and they are 100 bucks a month with some very good rx coverage. I have a deaf child, I am incredibly glad we own a home and I will never have the misfortune of renting from you.
Quoting 504bbymami:
Wow. I hope you're a troll. This makes me kinda sick to my stomach. I really don't understand this mentality and it makes me sad that there really are people like this in the world.
Now, if they were several payments behind, not trying to work with you, not trying to get a new job, that would be different.
They are trying to ban buying soda from FS
Do you REGRET having kids
