    In America, legal protect tenants in all aspects of interest, let the house people have a sense of security. For example, the landlord can not raise the rent, can not easily broken, can't evict tenant, the tenant occupancy before the new house must be renovated, the landlord is responsible for the daily housing repair service etc..

     Chinese like to buy a house, people know that the earth is in fact. In general, Chinese to American, first rented the house, save money.

Firmly Dangdang as a landlord,Ground rent.They can not work does not work, only by the housing surplus rental home, live very moist.

Incomplete statisticsIn New YorkWhen the number of the Chinese landlord5Million, theyThe monthly rental income can reach300 dollars to thousands of dollars.

    Some people areEnvy the landlords to rent living, think they are free from restraint. In fact, the sour, sweet, bitter, hot, with the proverb, "only saw the robber is eating chicken, don't see the robber to bang bang".

   

     In New York, a city of fierce competition, while also not easy landlord, the relationship between landlords and tenants, is regarded as one of New York's most tense interpersonal relationship.There are several reasons:

   First, New York rents are high, with 1/3 of income to pay the rent, of course, can let a personHeart not great; and the landlord is not so good when, New York property tax on the rise, electricity and water are on the rise, but mentioning rent tenants complaining would have been even protest.
Second, as the saying goes, don't let the enemy know your secret. But the landlord tenant usually is to master the most secret: wage income, credit card number, immigration status, and so on, the landlord. Sometimes, these secret sowed the seeds of both sides and then become enemies with each other, once the deterioration in relations between each other, will be involved in a delay for a long time war, including hire lawyers, court, result is wasted a lot of energy resources, in the spirit of tension and anxiety.

       

    Today, we are going to talk about those landlords "by Bang Bang" type of story.  

    A friend in New York, home, often to Chinese business, she will be in New York and the state house for rent. We call her the big landlords.

    This time she was very upset, often go to court. The reason is in her house guest, do not pay rent, but has not been removed, so she asked the lawyer to court, to be scorched by the flames.

   Her house is a big house, can live several families. 5 years ago, the couple had just rented her house, to pay the rent on time. So, often go back to China care factory she, the management of the house to the couple, they commissioned collect rent. Slowly, the couple not only their own rent can not pay, even other tenants rent also into the purse, undermining the friend.

    Now, she can not pay the bank loan, the couple had not been away. Each court has a few months intervals, in the lawsuit, the couple is living a life of ease and leisure "legitimate" free to live in her house.

       

 

   A landlord she was unfortunate but slightly. Not every day and tenants. Even worse is that kind of a house, a living themselves, let to tenants a person. On the court, you as an enemy, the tribunal has not bow to see the rise, it's sad oh.

    Close paragraph of time, the professional "inside real Gang", the Chinese landlord eager to rent psychological, home rental, handing in one month deposit and the rent, move will no longer pay the rent, the landlord feel helpless until the lawyer taking them to court, these professional inside room has free for six months the above.

    The media often reports of this kind of thing, newspaper reporter Lin Jing reported that such a story:

    Brooklyn Chinese landlord tenant of a suspected release toxic gas at home, many alarm and report fire, but the fire department did not find out anything, things settle a matter by leaving it unsettled. The landlord to tenant away, but tenants not to walk on the day, the landlord one family feel alarmed, they go to a hospital emergency, mounted camera lens, the plastic seal up the home staircase, windows and doors, the whole family spirit almost in a semi state of collapse.

But soon after, Mr. Chen found that male and female tenants as suspicious, women stay at home all day long, the male tenant bar in the vicinity, in the depth of night often have the girl out. Then, he found a floor often smell smell, like perfume, alcohol, or burning. He suspected that the tenant in the drug business, even intend to kill their families. Mr. Chen said his wife and daughter have a faint, a trip to the emergency room, but the doctor says is generally gastroenteritis.

Mr. Chen has alarm, but incapable of action the police, fire department came three times, but not check what strange air.

Finally he had to ask a lawyer to court for deportation, he and the tenant did not sign, the judge ordered the tenant must be removed before the end of the month in February, then if the tenant does not move, the landlord will ask the bailiff to tenants evicted out.
