STEVE: PRESIDENT BIDEN IS
EXTENDING THE FEDERAL BAN ON
EVICTIONS UNTIL OCTOBER 3D. NOW.
WHILE RENTAL PROPERTY OWNERS SAY
THEY ARE LEFT FOOTING THE BILL
FOR UNPAID RENT FROM THEIR
RENTERS.
WELL, YOU ARE OUR NEXT GUEST
SAYS HE HAS LOST $20,000 SO FAR
FROM TENANTS LIVING RENT-FREE IN
HIS UNIT.
LET’S BRING IN BUDDY SHOP,
FAMILY HOME RENTALS IN NORTH
CAROLINA.
BUDDY, GOOD MORNING TO YOU.
>> GOOD MORNING.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME THERE
WAS GREAT OUTCRY ON THE
POLITICAL LEFT ON THE LAST WEEK
OR TWO.
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION SAID WE
WILL HAVE TO LET THAT PROGRAM
LAPS.
BUTLAPSE.NOW THEY SAY WE WILL HA
EXTEND IT COUPLE MORE MONTHS
BECAUSE OF POLITICAL PRESSURE
FROM THE POLITICAL LEFT.
THEY WANT TO HELP PEOPLE WHO ARE
RENTING UNITS.
BUT THE MONEY FOR PEOPLE LIKE
YOU WHO OWN THE UNITS HASN’T
BEEN COMING YOUR WAY.
HAS IT?
>> THAT’S CORRECT.
STEVE: AND I HAVE HEARD -- WE IS
GOT A STATISTIC, OF THE MONEY
SET ASIDE BY THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT AND WE ARE TALKING
BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS, ONLY ABOUT 7% OF RENTAL
ASSISTANCE HAS BEEN DOLLED OUT
IN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 2021.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT JUST
ISN’T GOOD AT DOING THIS, IS
THEY -- ARE THEY?
>> I DON’T THINK SO.
STEVE: NO KIDDING.
>> I WORK -- I BELONG TO IT SUN
VALLEY LANDLORD ASSOCIATION A
GROUCH LANDLORDS THAT MEET ONCE
A MONTH.
AND, YOU KNOW, WE MEET JUST FOR
THIS REASON TO BELIEVE TO
DISCUSS ALL THESE ISSUES AND WHAT’S IN OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY
WHAT’S IN OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY
AND THIS AND THAT HICKORY PUT
OUT GRANT CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES
TO HELP THESE PEOPLE BEHIND IN
THEIR RENTS OF COURSE THE LOSS
OF THE MONEY I HAVE HAD TENANTS
COME TO ME SAY LOOK, I DON’T
HAVE IT.
I WILL SEND THEM TO THE LOCAL
PROGRAMS WHICH IS FUNDED BY OUR
LOCAL CITY AND COUNTY.
STEVE: RIGHT.
>> AS FAR AS GOVERNMENT, I
HAVEN’T SEEN ANY, YOU KNOW, ON
THAT EXCEPT THE STIMULUS CHECKS
THEY SEND OUT TO THE
INDIVIDUALS.
STEVE: SURE, I READ SOMETHING THAT APPARENTLY SOME OF YOUR
THAT APPARENTLY SOME OF YOUR
RENTERS WHO ARE NOT PAYING YOU
ONE GUY HAD THREE OR FOUR BOATS
SHOW UP IN HIS DRIVEWAY AND THAT
SET OFF AN ALARM BELL WITH YOU,
RIGHT?
>> THEY WERE USED.
THEY WASN’T BRAND NEW BOATS BUT
IN A TIME OF CRISIS, LIKE WHAT
WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH, YOU KNOW,
YOU ARE EVIDENTLY GETTING MONEY
FROM SOMEWHERE BUT IT’S NOT
GETTING TO ME.
STEVE YEAH, AND THE CRIME OF IT
IS HALF OF THE RENTAL UNIT
OWNERS IN AMERICA ARE MOM AND
POP OPERATORS.
PEOPLE WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO
LOSE.
YOU HAVE LOST 20,000 BUCKS SO
FAR.
IS THERE ANY CHANCE THAT THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO
MAKE YOU WHOLE, BUDDY?
>> NO.
AND THE BAD PART -- THE ONE
THING THAT WASN’T SHOWN IN THAT,
YOU KNOW, THE GUY DIDN’T PAY ME
RENT AND EVIDENTLY WAS GETTING
MONEY FROM SOMEWHERE.
AND HE HAD THREE BOAT.
WELL, LO AND BEHOLD THE MIDDLE
OF THE SUMMER OH, THEIR AIR
CONDITIONER WENT OUT.
SO I HAD TO PUT ABOUT A $4,500
HEAT PUMP ON THAT HOUSE TO MAKE
SURE THAT THEY STAYED COOL AND I
DIDN’T RECEIVE ANY RENT OR
ANYTHING.
SO, YOU KNOW, IT GOES WAY BEYOND
THE LOSS OF RENTAL INCOME.
WE’RE STILL BOUND BY COUNTY
RULES AND LAWS WE HAVE TO
MAINTAIN THE PROPERTY.
STEVE: UNBELIEVABLE.
SO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT PAYING
YOU RENT CALLED YOU UP AND SAID
HEY, MY AIR CONDITIONER ISN’T
WORKING AND YOU ARE BOUND BY LAW
TO FIX IT AND NOW YOU ARE OUT
5,000 BUCKS?
>> RIGHT.
STEVE: OKAY.
WELL, IT’S NOT WORKING TOO WELL.
SOMEBODY FROM THE WHITE HOUSE IS
WATCHING, I HOPE THEY ARE GOING
TO DO SOMETHING TO FIX IT
BECAUSE FOLKS LIKE YOU ARE
HURTING.
BUDDY SHOUP, THANK YOU FOR
JOINING US TODAY FROM NORTH
CAROLINA.
