My landlord thought he could pull one over on me, but ended up learning the meaning of "You should've read the fine print before you signed it."

TLDR: The real estate company that owns my apartment thought they could intimidate my roommates and I into signing a new, crappier contract, but ended up getting bit by their own laziness.

Edit for Clarity: In Germany, it is common to have indefinite rental contracts, which do not have a set end date and remain in effect until termination, usually by the tenant.

Some context: I live in Germany, which has extremely strong tenant's rights.

I've been living in my apartment for about eight years now. About one year after I first moved in, I got a letter from the company that owns my apartment building. In short, it said this:

Dear Mr. X,

We are cancelling your existing rental contract. If you wish to continue renting this apartment, please sign this new contract [with higher rent] or move out within 30 days.

This scared the hell out of me. I was living in a city where the rent prices were skyrocketing and I had only just managed to find a long- term apartment I could afford. As soon as I began looking at my options, it became clear that I was either going to have to fight what was essentially an eviction or move back to the US and start building my life again just after I had finally found some stability.

After I asked around a bit, someone tipped me off to something called a Mieterverein, which is essentially a nonprofit group that advocates for tenant's rights and gives its members the opportunity to get legal advice regarding their rights as tenants.

I looked one up near me and booked it over to their office. I explained my situation, filled out some paperwork, and went to speak with the group's lawyer. I showed her the letter and my current contract and she looked over it for a few minutes without saying a word.

After what felt like an eternity, she looked at me and said in her most diplomatic German legalese, "You have nothing to worry about. This letter is bullshit" (admittedly paraphrased, but that's what it boiled down to). She then turned to a page of the contract and pointed out a single line in it: "No changes may be made to this contract unless both parties consent to the proposed changes."

In other words: as long as I refuse to sign the new contract, they can't do anything to me.

The group's lawyer then sent a letter on my behalf to the company. I received a copy of it for my records and essentially, it told the company that they would find themselves in some major trouble with the government if they continued to pursue the matter further.

About a month went by and I heard nothing further. Then, one day, a letter from the company arrived. The company basically admitted defeat and tried to cover its tail by saying that the letter was "sent in error" by "an employee who is no longer with the company."

For the next seven years, it became an annual ritual: Company sends ominous letter telling me I'm getting kicked out, I forward the letter to the Mieterverein, and the Mieterverein's lawyer sends them a letter telling them to stick the letter where the sun don't shine. And then, after attempt #8, the lawyer sent them another letter telling them to cut the crap and stop sending these letters every year. I haven't heard from them since. :)

[“Many landlords were part-timers: machinists or preachers or police officers who came to own property almost by accident (through inheritance, say) and saw real estate as a side gig. But the last forty years had witnessed the professionalization of property management. Since 1970, the number of people primarily employed as property managers had more than quadrupled. As more landlords began buying more property and thinking of themselves primarily as landlords (instead of people who happened to own the unit downstairs), professional associations proliferated, and with them support services, accreditations, training materials, and financial instruments. According to the Library of Congress, only three books offering apartment-management advice were published between 1951 and 1975. Between 1976 and 2014, the number rose to 215. Even if most landlords in a given city did not consider themselves “professionals,” housing had become a business.

The evening’s speaker was Ken Shields, from the Self Storage Brokers of America. After selling his insurance company, Shields had begun looking for a way to get into real estate. He started out with rooming houses, which meant he started out renting mainly to poor single men. “Very nice cash flow. But I no longer have them.” The room chuckled. “I made some good money, and I mean, I love to get money, but I’m still just as happy not running around and dealing with some of these dregs of society who live in rooming houses.”Sherrena, who owned a couple of rooming houses, laughed along with the room. Then Shields found self-storage. “It’s got the residual incomes of an apartment building, but,” he lowered his voice, squinted, “you don’t have the people. You just got their stuff!…This is the sweetest spot in the whole American economy. A receptacle for an enormous cascade of money.”

The landlords loved Ken Shields, even if he did live in Illinois. When he finished his speech, the room broke into applause. The RING president, a mustached man with a full pouch for a stomach, stood up clapping. When there wasn’t a speaker, he often organized round robins. One such evening, a woman from Lead and Asbestos Information Center, Inc., had started off by announcing, “There is money to be made on lead,” to a room of landlords who more often lost money trying to abate it. One landlord asked whether he would have to report the presence of asbestos to the city or the tenants if he tested for it. “No, you don’t,” the woman had said.

The conversation moved on and someone else had asked about garnishing wages. A lawyer informed the room that a landlord was allowed to garnish a tenant’s bank account and up to 20 percent of his or her income, but the last $1,000 was exempt. And welfare recipients were off-limits.

“How about intercepting their tax refund?” Sherrena had asked.

The lawyer looked a bit stunned. “Noooo, only the government can do that.”

Sherrena already knew that. She had looked into it before. Her question wasn’t a question; it was a message to Eric, Mark, Kathy, and everyone else in the room that she would do almost anything to get the rent. Many white landlords knew money could be made in the inner city, where property was cheap, but the thought of collecting payments on the North Side, let alone passing out eviction notices, made them nervous. Sherrena wanted them to know that she could help.”]

Heyy

Do you have any advice on starting a real estate business as in just buying and renting out property?

Thanks 🤍

Yes!

**For the record, I have personally done a few flips/rehabs. Apart from that, I knew/know most of the realtors in this city and relating companies as I worked with most real estate/mortgage and title companies here when I had an agency.

First you need to be able to learn the market and research comparables. When looking to buy properties there are important factors to consider to make sure you are not paying overprice for a property as well as that the are is on demand, ensuring it will be easier to rent out the property.

The location of the property and its proximity to amenities like schools, shopping centers, grocery stores, transportation etc. Also that the area is safe.

You also want to look for areas that has future development plans, this will raise the value of your property.

If you have worked with investment companies, you will quickly learn that buying a property that is not in the best condition, a rehab property, could be a very smart play. You want to make sure of course to check the comparables and ensure that the property is underpriced compared to the other homes in the area. Once you rehab the property, it could raise or even surpass the value of the other homes in the area.

Any home that you would look into to buy for renting out should have elements that you intend to upgrade on. There are a lot of reasons for this but the most important one is how it raises your price and potential earnings. Redoing a kitchen or a bathroom can immediately raise the value of your home anywhere from 5-50k. A project that will cost you anywhere from 3-10k on average for a standards nice kitchen depending on your area.

Overall you still want to look at the comps to make sure you are getting a fair deal. Calculate the potential annual rent as a percentage of the properties price. This will give you an idea of the return on your investment. Also make sure that the potential rental income exceeds the monthly expenses. If not it does not make sense.

Check the vacancy rates in the area you want to purchase in, if its high there may be a low demand and not a good area to invest in.

Also you want to think about how easy it would be to sell the property if you need to. In demand areas tend to be more liquid.

So important, to understand the landlord/ tenant laws in your state. Including their rights and eviction process etc. Nothing worst than having a horrible tenant and not being legally able to remove them.

There are a lot of rate plans depending on your specific situation and mortgage rates also vary significantly by state. Make sure to get the best deal for you. Some states a first time can give as little as 1-5% down depending if you are a first time/ entrepreneur etc.

Property insurance is another cost factor to consider when working out your numbers as this varies by area.

Managing a few properties on your own is easy, but after a handful, you may want to consider hiring a property management company to handle these things for you.

I would strongly urge you to get a lawyer to draw up renter contracts.

To grow this business what you want to do, and this is a general overview: down payment for house, fix, rent out, refinance, use refinance to purchase another property and have enough to put into upgrades/repairs on the second purchase and repeat.

I can get into taxes on this too if you want.

That was the slogan on a placard brandished by a protester outside a home in Jerusalem’s Old City section, denouncing last week’s removal of illegal Arab squatters from the property.

On one level, it was just another ordinary real estate dispute, the kind that is heard in courts every day in every city in the world. Except that this one involves Arabs, Jews and racists who believe that Jews should not be allowed to live in mostly Arab neighborhoods—like the guy with the “Welcome to Apartheid” sign.

That’s right—the same people who are trying to keep members of one ethnic group out of a neighborhood, which is the very definition of “apartheid,” were standing there with signs accusing the Israeli authorities of “apartheid.”

This one deserves to be added to the dictionary, next to the word “Orwellian.”

In George Orwell’s famous novel 1984, the ironically named Ministry of Truth has three slogans: “War is Peace,” “Freedom is Slavery” and “Ignorance is Strength.” The meaning of words has been reversed to serve an ideological purpose. People are taught that those words actually mean the exact opposite of what they thought they meant. In the Jerusalem case, integration is now called “apartheid.”

This remarkable story began in 1948 when the Jordanian army conquered and illegally occupied Jerusalem’s Old City, the section where the Temple Mount, the Western Wall and the ancient Jewish Quarter are located.

The Jordanians expelled every Jew from the Jewish Quarter, at gunpoint. That’s apartheid.

During the 19 years to follow, the Jordanians refused to allow any Jews to return to their homes. That’s apartheid.

Jews were not even allowed to pray at the Western Wall, which the Jordanians used as a garbage dump. That’s apartheid.

Local Arabs moved into the homes in the Jewish Quarter. Does that seem like a reasonable thing to do? If a racist government in the United States expelled African-Americans from some neighborhood, would it be reasonable for their white neighbors to just move in and take over their homes?

Of course not. That’s called “squatting.” It’s illegal. Police throughout the world are constantly evicting squatters from other people’s properties. And most local governments are far less patient than the Israelis in dealing with such situations.

The Jerusalem case dragged on in Israel’s courts for an incredible 45 years. Israeli judges patiently heard appeal after appeal. They listened to lawyers for the squatters insist they had a right to the property on the grounds that they had been living there since the 1950s.

Think about that. A racist government expelled the Jews. Squatters then occupied the Jews’ property. And they demanded the right to stay there because they stole it a really long time ago. As legal arguments go, that’s not much of a case. So finally, earlier this year, Israel’s left-leaning Supreme Court ruled that the squatters had to leave. And this week, the police made them do so.

After suffering from 70 years of apartheid, the rightful heirs of the original Jewish owners can finally move back to their property. Since most of the people currently living in the immediate vicinity are Arabs, Jews moving back to the property means integrating the neighborhood.

Supporters of Arab apartheid are crestfallen. So, they took out their cardboard and magic markers this week, and set to work making signs to wave at their demonstration. There was just one problem: They couldn’t be honest. They couldn’t make signs that expressed their true feelings. They couldn’t use slogans such as “Jews Keep Out” or “Arabs Only.” (Or that infamous one from America’s past, “No Jews or Dogs Allowed.”) Because being honest would make them look bad.

So, they decided to go Orwellian: “Welcome to Apartheid.” Integration is apartheid. Ethnic coexistence is racism. Diversity is exclusion. Orwell’s Ministry of Truth couldn’t have said it any better.

Across the U.S., judges have final say over evictions, and there has long been a major power imbalance in courts: Some 80% of landlords have lawyers, but just 3% of tenants do. Those facing eviction are also disproportionately people of color, reflecting generations of racial discrimination in real estate, banking and the labor market.

Right now, many renters figure there's no way they'll win in eviction court, so they skip it, lose by default and get forced out of their homes.

On Sunday, December 1, 1980, I kissed Megan Brandeis goodnight at the Envoy Towers on 46th and Second and drove my 1973 Cutlass across town to 43rd between Seventh and Eighth, the Times Square Motel Hotel. At $350/month, that was going to be my Manhattan address for the foreseeable future, or maybe forever. Forever turned out to be a month. Just before Christmas, I got a call from a classmate of mine, Fritz McLoughlin, who when I answered the phone in my 14th floor room next door to the hooker taking secretarial classes, said, "Jesus, you really are there. I thought Fleming (another classmate) was bullshitting me." He composed himself and continued. "I heard you're looking for a place. One of the guys is moving out of my apartment. 92nd and Madison. It's yours if you want it. $350 a month." I thanked him and said I liked where I was (100 feet from the NY Times offices, and, as it turned out, a crosstown and a half block from The Improv) and heading 50 blocks uptown for the same rent seemed like both a vertical and lateral move. "Schefty," he said, "You have a room. I'm offering you a life...." Back then, you couldn't tell me anything, but that somehow got in. I moved New Year's Eve morning to 1290 Madison Avenue, Apt 4N. Eight rooms, three guys, $1050 a month. And I mean eight rooms. Two bedrooms, one bath, a den (my bedroom), living room, dining room, eat-in kitchen, friggin maid's room with a half-bath. Fritz moved out two months later, and the one guy who was actually on the lease, Larry Meads, left six months after that. He agreed to pay the rent from his bank account, but I was in charge of collecting the money and reimbursing him. Over the next year, I ran a bit of a hotel. Let's say a half-dozen people got mail there. In August 1982, we got popped with the eviction notice. I got a sit-down with the landlord, Kayvan Hakim, and (with a $250 retainer for a lawyer) bought another six months. I had everyone clear out in five, leaving Kayvan with the security deposit, like any real estate mogul would do. My roommate, fellow comic and writing partner, the late Eric Zoyd, moved with me, and legitimately, into a five-floor walk-up/laughable $700-a-month one-bedroom at 76th and Third February 1, 1983. For the last 40 years, whenever I walked by 1290 Madison, I had nothing but fond memories of the life Fritz had given me, and nothing but fantasies about how much Apartment 4N (which was refigured into 4NE/4NW) could possibly be worth. Until today, when, walking home from pickleball, I looked up and realized that my memories would soon be without their original set.... (Funny Apt. 4N tomorrow).

Real Estate Law

Real estate law governs the buying, selling, and ownership of property. This area of law is essential for ensuring secure transactions and protecting the rights of both buyers and sellers. In India, real estate law covers various aspects, including property rights, land registration, tenancy, zoning, and transfer of ownership.

One of the fundamental parts of real estate law involves property titles and ownership rights. Verifying a clear title ensures that the property is free from legal disputes. Land registration processes, guided by local laws, further safeguard ownership by providing formal records of property transactions. Additionally, transfer of ownership through sale deeds, gift deeds, or wills requires adherence to legal formalities to avoid future disputes.

Real estate law also encompasses leasing and renting agreements, ensuring fair terms for both landlords and tenants. For instance, tenancy laws regulate the security deposit amount, rent increase, and eviction process to protect tenant rights.

The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA), is a significant piece of legislation in India that promotes transparency in real estate transactions. It mandates project registration, regulates delays, and assures buyers of timely property delivery, thereby boosting trust in real estate dealings.

For anyone involved in property transactions, consulting with an experienced real estate lawyer can be invaluable. Lawyers provide due diligence, assist with contract drafting, and ensure compliance with legal requirements, minimizing risks in property dealings. In sum, real estate law is vital to a secure and transparent property market, fostering trust and legal clarity for all parties involved.
