No Partying!
Chad Reed was arrested in October of 2020 for the horrible crime of murdering his tenants!
Chad was a 53-year-old landlord who absolutely hated partying and loud music.
Chad hated partying so much that when his two upstairs tenants refused to stop, he killed
them.
According to Michigan police, it started when Joseph Soule and Jaclyn Lepird went missing
on October 7.
Jaclyn’s family helped organize a search party, but they came up empty handed.
It wasn't until later that the police found their bodies – and only because Chad showed
up to the station and admitted to police what he had done.
Chad had stored the bodies of Joseph and Jaclyn inside his truck, wrapped in plastic.
His truck had been out in the open the whole time, parked right in front of the house they
had all lived in!
According to what Chad told the police, the couple above him partied so frequently that
he barely got any sleep.
Then on October 7 when he told them to quiet down, Joseph allegedly pulled a knife on him.
So, Chad pulled out a gun and shot Joseph.
And when Jaclyn tried to run, he killed her too.
She made a run for it and managed to get into the backyard, where Chad ditched the gun and
then beat and strangled her to death.
As you can imagine, their families are devastated.
Jaclyn’s family described her as a sweet girl whose life was cut short for no reason.
The only good news is that Chad will be in prison for the rest of his life.

The Murderous Seattle Landlord In August of 2020, Michael Lee Dudley was
charged with two counts of murder in connection to the horrible killings of Jessica Lewis
and Austin Wenner.
They were killed in June of that same year.
The remains of the couple were discovered in bags on Alki Beach in West Seattle, as
well as a few other locations.
According to police, it wasn't that easy of a thing to pull off.
The process of taking the bodies, chopping them into pieces, and then stuffing them into
bags would have been a tremendous amount of work.
Police say that kind of dedication is proof of just how extremely dangerous Michael had
been walking free in the community.
Why did Michael kill these two completely innocent human beings?
The police investigation revealed they had been arguing about the rent.
Michael was the landlord and he wasn't getting the money he wanted.
On the night of the killing, a neighbor heard somebody begging for their life.
Moments later, gunshots were fired.
But here’s the thing.
When officers responded to the 911 call and knocked on the front door, nobody answered,
so they left.
They couldn't come back until they got a search warrant, which gave Michael enough time to
dispose of the body parts in bags and suitcases throughout Seattle.
One of the suitcases was even discovered by a couple of citizens who filmed opening it
and then put the video on TikTok!

Burning Down the House It was the holiday season of 2020 when a house
in Queens burned down with three people inside.
The police were desperate to find out what happened and the prime suspect was actually
the landlord.
A dog with the New York City Fire Department even found traces of an accelerant on gloves
stashed in the landlord’s vehicle.
Police immediately seized the landlord’s SUV, their computer and hard drive – but
they weren't able to make an arrest because the evidence was circumstantial.
Three people were trapped inside the building as it burned, stuck in their apartments with
no way to get past the flames.
According to one man who narrowly escaped the apartment with his life, all of the tenants
had been having issues with the landlord in recent weeks.
This man hasn't wished to be named for safety reasons, but admitted to being a resident
of the first floor.
He was paying about $700 a month for rent, but he and at least a dozen other residents
in the building had complained about the landlord, identified by the police as Eric Chen.
Chen had been steadily trying to evict the tenants to clear out the building.
At one point, he even turned off the utilities.
Looking at this from the outside, or really from any angle at all, it's pretty clear Chen
burned the building down to get rid of the tenants so that he could sell the property.
However, police were never able to prove it.
They had the man who started the fire on tape, but the footage was too fuzzy.
And even though they found traces of accelerant on gloves in Chen’s vehicle, it wasn't enough
to prove he had started the fire.
Everyone knows he did it, but there's no way to prove it.
In the end, the landlord got away with a triple murder.

The Cruel Tenant In 2021 a man was busted for being a real
piece of human garbage.
That's really the only nice thing anyone can say about the person who was keeping 20 dogs
in despicable conditions inside of a Brooklyn apartment.
His name was Ravon Service, and he was involved with a large group of people who were breeding
dogs, keeping them in tiny cages of filth, and then selling them to make a few quick
bucks.
It was an absolutely atrocious operation.
And eventually when the landlord of the property, Kennisha Gilbert, found out what was going
on, she stepped in to intervene.
Not only were they evicted from the apartment, animal services also came in and rescued the
dogs.
That was on a Friday.
Later that night as Kennisha and her husband were returning home, the evicted tenant and
his gang of animal abusers showed up outside her home and attacked them.
Kennisha had just finished a 12-hour shift as a physician in New Jersey before the assault!
All because she had done the right thing and kicked them out of the house where they were
being cruel to animals.
They brutalized her face to the point it was almost unrecognizable, they shattered her
husband’s ribs – and they did it all in front of their two young kids.
Afterwards, Kennish and her husband were able to call the police and everyone involved was
arrested and charged with gang violence.
What's the most despicable thing that's ever happened to you as either a landlord or a
tenant?
Let us know in the comments and keep watching for even more outrageous incidents of renting
gone horribly wrong!

The Sword-Wielding Tenant Police responded to a 911 call on a Saturday
morning in July of 2020.
The landlord of a home in Connecticut was the one who called the police.
His name was Victor King, and he was scared that his roommate Jerry Thompson might try
to hurt him.
Jerry was allegedly waving a sword around in a terrorizing manner, and threatening to
hurt Victor.
According to Hartford detectives, it was all because of a rent dispute.
That day, the police did not go to the house despite receiving the 911 call from the man
who was scared for his life.
They only went to the home the next day when several people called the police because they
hadn't heard from Victor.
His friends and neighbors were scared for his safety.
When the police arrived on Sunday afternoon, they discovered a scene out of a horror movie.
It turned out Victor had been right to worry about Jerry Thompson and his samurai sword.
Jerry, who had been renting a room from Victor in the same house, had decapitated him with
the sword!
Police found blood everywhere, as if Hellraiser had tortured somebody in the house.
They also found Victor King’s headless body.
The cops were quick to track down Jerry Thompson, who was then formally charged with murder.
They discovered the sword ditched about 10 miles(16 km) from the house in the river.
And while we don't know how much rent was owed by Thompson, friends of Victor King said
he would have never hurt the man.
He was gentle, one of the good guys, and described as always a joy to be around.

Mistaken Identity In 2021 in Coral Springs, Florida, a man shot
a real estate agent to death after he mistook her for the homeowner who had just evicted
him.
It was a horrible case of mistaken identity that left one woman dead and Raymond Wesley
Reese being charged with first-degree murder.
Police arrived on the scene after getting reports of multiple gunshots.
There they discovered Sara-Michelle Trost dead in the driver’s seat of her vehicle.
One of the neighbors told police that Raymond had just been evicted and that he was extremely
disgruntled about it.
In the police investigation that followed, the cops figured out the same thing.
Raymond had been so angry about getting kicked out of the house that he stalked the place
and waited for the first person to show up so he could kill them.
He assumed Sara-Michelle was the owner of the property, but she was just a real estate
agent there to help with the listing of the property.
Sara-Michelle's death means she's leaving behind a husband, a daughter, and her beloved
pets.
She owned and operated her own real estate brokerage in Coral Springs.
She even spent her free time volunteering at an animal rescue and sanctuary.

Unpaid Rent Arnaldo Lozano-Sanchez was sick and tired
of his Las Vegas tenants being late with their rent.
According to the prosecutors in his murder case, the elderly landlord decided he would
handle it his own way.
The 78-year-old man went full wild west on his struggling tenants, gunning all three
of them down where they stood.
Two died and the third was seriously wounded.
Arnaldo is now facing two charges of murder and one charge of attempted murder.
The old Las Vegas man was renting out two of the bedrooms in his single-family home.
Several days before the shooting, his tenants hadn't given him the rent.
He got really worked up about it and just stewed over it until he finally snapped.
According to a man named Carlos, who was renting one of the bedrooms in the house with his
girlfriend, he saw the whole thing unfold.
He heard the gunshots and looked into the hallway, where he saw Arnaldo with the gun
in his hand.
As he was shooting he smiled and laughed.
He didn't just kill these people for their unpaid rent, he did it because he enjoyed
it!
Carlos would lose his girlfriend that day.
She sadly bled to death on the front lawn after being shot by the crazed landlord.
Another woman was also killed, and a third victim managed to survive despite being shot
nine times at close range.

Pushed Down the Stairs On January 12, 2020, Edgar Moncayo was pushed
down the front steps of his home in Queens.
It happened in the Corona neighborhood at about 2:30 in the afternoon on a Sunday, in
broad daylight.
Edgar, who happened to be 71 years old at the time, had gone to the home that he owned
to confront his tenant.
His tenant, 22-year-old Alex Garces, had missed several rent payments.
As you can imagine, Edgar wanted his money.
But when Edgar knocked on the door, everything spiraled out of control.
Alex pushed the old man so hard that he flew down the stairs and cracked his head on the
concrete of the sidewalk.
The terrifying incident was captured on a doorbell video, showing the violence and hate
of the young man as he pushed his landlord to his death.
Edgar suffered from what doctors called a traumatic brain injury.
And according to ABC News, he died at the nearby hospital that same day.
Because everything was captured on video, the tenant had no way to talk himself out
of the situation.
He was charged with first-degree manslaughter. 2.
Heating Issues A landlord in Kansas stabbed his tenant over
30 times because the victim complained the house was too cold.
According to court documents, Gordon Macbeth showed up to the property he was renting out
on October 22, 2021.
He was there to confront 28-year-old renter Darryl Gilland, who was living on the property
with his girlfriend.
The couple had texted Gordon because the heat had stopped working and they were freezing.
But as soon as Gordon entered the house, he became aggressive.
He started throwing things at Darryl’s girlfriend.
He became wildly and inappropriately agitated.
Then he pulled out a huge hunting knife and stabbed Darryl repeatedly.
His girlfriend, as horribly tragic as the whole situation was, used the brief moment
in which her boyfriend was being murdered to scream and run out of the house.
The girlfriend ran next door to a neighbor, who grabbed his gun and ran back into Gordon’s
house to confront the insane landlord.
But by then, Darryl was already dead.
All the neighbor could do was hold the gun on Gordon and keep him there until the police
showed up to make the arrest.

A Free Squatter A house recently sold for $800,000 in a popular
neighborhood of Virginia.
It was a nice house with five bedrooms and roughly a century of history.
Anyone would be lucky to live in such a shining example of colonial architecture.
But the new owner of the property is in for quite the headache.
The property was sold for nearly $1,000,000 despite the listing saying, “AS IS ONLY.”
The listing also warned potential buyers of a person or persons living in the lower level
of the building with no lease.
In other words, the building sold even though the owner was aware of squatters living in
it!
To be completely honest, the house isn't even that great.
It needs renovations, it’s rotting, nothing is up to code, and none of the appliances
work.
It also has two people living in the basement completely free of charge.
One of them has been there for at least three years.
The current owner decided the eviction process was too emotionally draining, and so they
simply passed their unpaying basement tenants on to the new owner.
Would you rather have to deal with an angry tenant or an unreasonable landlord?
