This fuckhead is probably only mad about it because he wants it for inheritance.
This is the truth.
Why is an elderly man with memory loss depending on parasitism for income? He should be receiving assistance from the state, his old job, and/or children. Capitalists show this type of shit to me and smugly stand there waiting for me to admit that they are moral and upstanding people.
his old job
He should be collecting a pension from all those years working at the land factory
Just because he owns rental property now doesn’t mean it was always the case. The average American dreams of being and landlords for passive income when they become old because retirement benefits are a joke
The average American dreams of becoming the ultimate parasite throughout their entire life. Landlord is next to giving up for them.
Read the first paragraph and thought this was going to be some predatory scam company robbing a mentally unsound old man of his home and thought “What the fuck, why would you laugh at that”
Then I read the rest and was like
man who lives in this rental property convinced him to to sign over the deed to the rental house
Based, landlords like the Reddit thread’s OP deserve :gulag:
Nah this aint the take here, yeah landlord bad but with no social safety net what can the elderly man actually do otherwise?
Execute his will’s provisions now while he’s still alive and live off the state and any remaining Social Security checks. US policy only really gives help when you’ve finally ran out of money…
I would not want to live off of United States social security if I had severe short term memory loss
The alternative for the market is just someone else probably renting the building out anyway. Would rather have a disabled old man as a landlord than some corporate slime
disabled old man as a landlord
Perhaps, but what happens when he passes away?
ghoul son takes over sure but I still think it’s bad to con a disabled person out of their only viable income…
All Landlords are Bad. I don’t make the rules, sorry
Here it is disabled old man as landlord, or owning the goddamn house yourself though.

Does something immoral become moral because a disabled person is doing it? Wouldn’t tricking an able bodied/minded landlord into giving up their property be good? Or do you think we have to just be better than our enemies at all moments?
Landlords delenda est
What is this take? He can do the same as anyone in his position who doesn’t own an extra house does. Why should some random person be expected to support him? The tenant could do more good donating the rent money to a charitable organization helping elderly in need - but then we should ask why we’re asking that of that tenant specifically. We don’t know what the elderly man’s financial situation looks like but it’s obviously not the tenant’s responsibility to support him.

This is only really available in hindsight. The old man doesn’t have the time nor money to figure out a new retirement strategy, especially if a rental property was just signed over. The best situation would be to sell the house and hopefully live off the investment from that until he passes. What’s not good is is removing a source of retirement income from someone when they don’t have a fallback.
Removing landlords as an occupation while ensuring a minimum standard of living is good. Swindling an old man out of his retirement plan for personal gain and possible throwing him into the streets without a safety net is not.

Absolutely ridiculous. That’s like saying we shouldn’t free elderly people’s slaves because they need them to care for them. The elderly man isn’t going to be “thrown into the streets” because he already has a home. Again, you have no basis to assume that this is his only source of income or that he doesn’t have sufficient savings. He at the very least has family, like the person who made this post.
And what about the tenant? For all we know they could be elderly and disabled too, only they weren’t rich enough to “plan for retirement” by setting up a situation where they can steal rent from someone else. They could be saddled with medical debt, they could be a single mother trying to support a family, if you get to speculate about the landlord’s situation then I get to speculate about the tenant’s.
Completely bizarre pro-landlord takes on Hexbear, can’t believe what I’m seeing. It’s not the tenant’s responsibility.
yes haha funny but the conditions are clearly different, this guy owns one property compared to a farmstead with acres and slaves and the ability to kill or take your daughter’s with impunity. If the state dispossessed the guy of his home to give him an actually social safety plan it would be completely fine.
YTA you are not respecting the tenant’s grind&hustle
This particular property was neglected because I didn’t know he owned it until I gained access to his accounts and saw the monthly rental payments
Oh I just forgot that I had a fucking deed and tenant lying around
you know what, fuck you. unlands your lord
/r/legaladvice
This sub is probably mostly cops and maybe some law students. Their takes are extremely pro cop and often objectively wrong. Actual lawyers would face getting disbarred for giving out anonymous advice on the internet, even if giving advice based on Reddit posts wasn’t incredibly negligent in the first place.
My father’s estate lawyers have been notified…
Then what the actual fuck are you doing on Reddit asking for legal advice? Talk to the qualified and trained professional, you idiot.
Redditors believe Redditors are the smartest group of people that exist that’s why
And that is why they’ll always be the dumbest people.
Because when his land leech father lost the sons inheritance, his second most important thought was about the upvotes.
If memory serves, the head mod is a former cop, not a lawyer, and there’s been drama about them getting pissy when people point out their sage legal opinions are horseshit.
Your memory serves you correctly.
This sub is probably mostly cops and maybe some law students.
From what I remember almost all of the moderation team are cops yeah.
Stop posting or I’ll arrest you for disorderly.

Remember this is Reddit we’re talking about, which means that this story is almost certainly fake (unfortunately).

The funniest outcome of this would be the father putting his foot down and being all “Jim’s been a good tenant, he deserves that house more than my dead best son!”

Maybe dad’s just try to right his wrongs before he goes to meet his maker.
Unless there’s an angle I’m missing that tenants going to jail.
i don’t understand this image, but i see it all the time… somehow I’ve not been able to glean its meaning from context. Can you explain it for me?
its called “sicko wistful” so its ment to express longing. Like this emoji
The sickos’s are from these https://www.theonion.com/opinion/cartoons
Honestly, having family with dementia and similar memory problems it isn’t as clear cut. People really try hard to stretch the incapability for their gain sometimes. A family member tried to claim a specific thing with little monetary value that was given away was given away in a state in which our demented family member wasn’t able to act properly. This led to years of court battle.
In the case that is presented here I could imagine unlawful action, but I can as easily think that OP’s parent and the tenant had a different relation and were actually fine with signing stuff over. People are emotional when they get older sometimes.
Maybe, but definitely not guaranteed. If you give someone power of attorney you can usually still override their decisions – they can act in your place, but so can you. You’d have to look at the specifics of the power of attorney, how incapacitated the dad actually is, then whether you can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the tenant knew the guy was cooked and was taking advantage of him (and even that might not be enough).
