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
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?
YTA you are not respecting the tenant's grind&hustle
you know what, fuck you. unlands your lord
I was told landlords did a lot of work to earn their money? If he's clearly well enough to do such intense labor like owning property then he must be in good mental condition.
- We cant just want the law to be upheld in situations we like dude.
  Edit; Ive had why my views are wrong explained to me. Ive learned.
  
  Its funny when landlords get fucked over, actually
  
  Who the fuck wants racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, and anti-worker capitalist laws upheld?
  'The rule of law' is a cloud of toxic farts youve been sniffing your whole life while the ruling class hang out on their mega yachts and in their towers (breaking any and all 'laws' they want)
  all landlords should be given the choice between immediate execution and having their property expropriated, and having their property expropriated
  
  Yeah we can
  
  We cant just want the law to be upheld in situations we like dude.
  
  If your stance is the destruction of the state, then using or avoiding its legal system by whatever means necessary to further the project of undermining it is a coherent position.
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
/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.
- 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.
- 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.
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 beat son!”
Mr redistribute your girl and property
Another landlord down
Maybe dad's just try to right his wrongs before he goes to meet his maker.
I mean it's way better than giving it to tom selleck
Most based landlord.
- 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.
- 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?
- 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).
- Jail? For what crime? The contract might not hold up, but there's no way you go to jail for signing an agreement with someone with memory loss.
lmao, owned
- lmao, homed
- behold the landlord --> 🌽 pipeline
