00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:13.519
Yeah, ripped up news. Need
that's so you don't have you come running

2
00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:20.679
just as fast as we can.
Shooter's gonna help come man. This is

3
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:27.359
the Troubleshooter Show. No Tom Martino. Hello, I'm Tom Martino. Welcome

4
00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:31.559
to this show. What's going on
in your life? We are solving problems,

5
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:36.000
answering questions, taking complaints, making
your life just a little easier.

6
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:40.039
I have Brad O'Brien with me,
Bradley O'Brien with O'Brien legal services. We

7
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:43.799
got a lot to talk about when
it comes to real estate. Oh my

8
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:48.560
goodness, a lot of changes in
the laws. We should go over them

9
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:50.920
and let you know what they are. But I will just say this in

10
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:55.119
a word. We're more than a
word. It's bad news for landlords.

11
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:59.840
Landlords will not have it easy in
this state. You know, for years

12
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.599
and years and years, and I
didn't like this. Landlords had too much

13
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:11.480
power, rented out garbage, treated
people like crap. I do believe there

14
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:17.840
was time and need for change went
too far. If there's no balance,

15
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:22.480
if you have lopsided government on one
side or the other, or you have

16
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:25.560
too much on one or too much
on the other, too much for attorneys,

17
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:27.680
too much against attorneys, too much
for consumers, too much against consumers,

18
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:30.959
too much for business, too much
against business. You got to have

19
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:36.079
balance. When are we going to
learn? Then? But the pendulum is

20
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:40.799
swinging and thanks to Polus and his
I don't know what you call it,

21
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:46.439
his obsession to be like California.
Basically, if you want to see what

22
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:53.040
will be passed in Colorado, look
at California. I would say, every

23
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:59.799
bill and law, every bill passed, every act or bill passed and becomes

24
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:05.840
law in California is eventually going to
make it here. We're going to be

25
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:09.759
talking about some of them. And
why Brad believes a lot of people will

26
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:15.840
be selling mom and pop landlord operations. Give me a hint, Brad,

27
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:20.840
what why do you have you heard
from people who said, mister O'Brien,

28
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:27.520
we need some clarification here. I
mean, like, for example, the

29
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:32.800
one law was not that bad,
but unrelated parties. I don't see a

30
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:37.800
lot wrong with that. But what
was it before? Could landlords limit the

31
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:42.039
number of unrelated parties living together?
Well, our counties had various laws about

32
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:46.479
how many people you could have in
a rental house. I only came across

33
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:50.280
it a couple times in the last
ten years, like for example, maybe

34
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:53.879
up in Well County, you couldn't
have more than I'm just just throwing out

35
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:57.919
there, like eight people who were
not in the same family. So a

36
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:00.400
big family of like eight ten people. Okay, that's fine. But if

37
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:05.199
you're going to have renters, and
I thought it was I've seen some limited

38
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:08.039
to three people three unrelated it's house
by house. I mean, how many

39
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:12.479
bedrooms do you have for you?
Okay, So the state law they just

40
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:15.199
passed got rid of those caps,
and so that's going to allow more dense

41
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:21.840
housing. Does that mean literally ten
people could live there. I mean,

42
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:23.840
I haven't looked at it that close. Yeah. It just basically says that

43
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:30.280
the various county laws are now they're
restrict In other words, they can't they

44
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:34.800
cannot be more restrictive than the state. Yeah, I suppose. So.

45
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.000
Yeah, so the state set's the
limit on how many people can live together,

46
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:43.280
and the states trying to help.
Their reasoning will be, for sure,

47
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.000
they want to help the homeless situation, and they want to help renters

48
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:50.960
split costs, and they want to
make housing easier. This will lower the

49
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.000
cost of housing. I get that. I get that Okay, that's not

50
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:59.759
terrible, except so if a landlord
says, this is what I want to

51
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:03.919
know. If they didn't rent you
yet and you have three or four people

52
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:08.599
wanting to go on the lease that
are unrelated, let's say four, and

53
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:11.879
you don't want four in there?
Can you not rent to them? Or

54
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:15.879
could they could that because it's a
law now that says it's okay, could

55
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:17.399
they bring an action against you?
Do you think? Well, right now,

56
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:21.720
lanard does not have to enter into
a lease with tenants for if they

57
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:28.199
have any reason, any reason except
except discrimination right right against the protected classes

58
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:31.920
right like like yeah, the protected
classes, race, religion, all that.

59
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:34.959
Yeah, that's about the biggest power
of lanyards have now is to not

60
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:38.839
rent. Yeah, but once they're
into a lease now the law's changed.

61
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:41.959
Yeah, we're going to talk about
that. You can't just end a lease.

62
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:46.800
That's one of the biggest things we
have found out with this new law.

63
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:49.519
You can't. It's you basically have
a tenant for life. But you're

64
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:51.720
going to want to be listening to
this. I want to go to Wan

65
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:58.560
right now though and take his call. Okay, Wan, what is happening

66
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:00.879

74
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:36.399
Now, what's going on? One? Yes, sir, Actually I

75
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:42.000
have a job in a Boulder for
horses. Sanchez is a guy that hired

76
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:46.959
me to do a basement remodel.
And actually, now you were hired and

77
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:51.879
who is this guy that hired you? What business is it? Well,

78
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:58.160
he's actually I was looking for his
Uh. He has a real estate company

79
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:04.279
and he does like taxes, you
know, services and but but he hired

80
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:10.600
you for houses that he owned.
Yes. Actually, if he's on property,

81
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:15.439
is it a property he's renting or
selling? No, he's buying that

82
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:19.319
property. I think is is he
doing a fix and flip a yes?

83
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:27.199
What is his name again? Or
his Sanchez Jorges? A chance Sanchez.

84
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:33.839
Okay, So Jorge Sanchez, I
imagine you're calling about him, right,

85
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:41.120
Okay? What happened? Well,
actually I finished the job. How many

86
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:45.480
jobs are you talking about? One? Here's one his house, he's basement,

87
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:48.040
okay, And what happened? I'll
give him a contract. Actually,

88
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:51.839
we sign a contract for five thousand
dollars, and then he asked me for

89
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:58.000
some changes. So that's what he
still o me. And is it only

90
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:00.879
the change he owes you for or
the whole thing? No, he gave

91
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:06.160
me a five thousand dollars payment on
events and then when I'm done with the

92
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:10.560
job, actually he is to deal. Okay, So you were paid five

93
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:15.519
grand and the whole job was supposed
to be originally five grand, but then

94
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:21.079
there were some changes. Exactly how
much were the changes? Three thousand dollars?

95
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:29.279
Okay? Now is he disputing the
changes? Yes? Actually he's lying

96
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:31.959
to me too many times. It's
almost a year of passy. Well it

97
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:35.360
doesn't sound though. I mean,
if the guy wanted to scam you,

98
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:40.199
I think he would withhold more.
But it's been more than a year.

99
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:45.000
You have now, Brad, he
lost his ability. Brad O'Brien's our real

100
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:46.920
estate attorney to put a lien on
that if he stopped work a year ago,

101
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:49.720
right, I mean that isn't it
too late to put a lien on

102
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:51.800
that? I think you only have
four months to put a lien on that,

103
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:56.040
right, Yeah, after a period
of abandonment before the job is done.

104
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.720
When abandonment is in effect, then
then that's when the clock starts to

105
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:07.519
perfect your men. So when did
you stop working there? I stopped working

106
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:13.000
on let's see three March seven twenty
three. Yeah, you can't. You

107
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:15.639
can't, otherwise you could have put
a lien on the house. You never

108
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.560
put a lien on it, right, Yeah? Because I never did,

109
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:22.639
because he was actually no, he
kept putting you off, didn'ty. Yeah.

110
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:26.439
Well I tried to be nice with
that guy, and I mean I

111
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:31.680
got finished my job on time,
and he sent me a letter writing by

112
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:35.000
his hands and everything, and then
he says he's going to start making me

113
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:39.600
payments for three hundred and fifion dollars? Did he ever make payments? Only

114
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:43.559
one? On the Here's what I
want to know right now. You got

115
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:48.320
paid so far five thousand plus another
payment of three hundred and fifty exactly.

116
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:52.240
That's all? Okay? Now,
hold on. Now, I want to

117
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:58.960
know something. Yeah, when was
the he is not disputing the three grand?

118
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:05.759
Is that true? Yeah? Okay, it's true. Then why don't

119
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:09.399
you take him the small claims court
and get a judgment? You have a

120
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:11.919
you have six years to collect that
debt, I believe, so why don't

121
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:16.720
we? Yeah? Have you thought
about doing that? Yeah? Actually,

122
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:22.399
I got a number from the Boulder
City County or something like that to make

123
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:28.759
a a small plane A part of
the pair? Now is the one told

124
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:33.720
me about you? Oh? Yeah, he's my We grew up together from

125
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:39.279
the crib excactly. We worked together
for Agents Detruction. And then I just

126
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:41.519
talked to him about this and he
says, hey, I can help you.

127
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:45.679
I got a friend of mine,
Tom Marino, and detail help you

128
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:48.759
out. That's why the reason I
call you. Yeah, Karl and I

129
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:54.480
have lived around the country together,
everywhere. We went from upstate New York

130
00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:58.840
to Florida to Colorado. We've we've
never been more than one hundred more than

131
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:01.559
fifty miles apart our entire lives.
Listen, here's what I want to In

132
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:05.840
fact, we've been closer and live
together. But I digress here. It's

133
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:09.039
always good to have a friend like
that, isn't it like a brother?

134
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:11.720
Hey, here's what I want to
say, Wan, if you went to

135
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:15.519
small claims court. I know it's
a pain in the ass, but you

136
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:18.320
would get a judgment. And when
you get a judgment, then you could

137
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:22.159
go back on that house if he
still owns it. Does he still own

138
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:26.799
that house? Yes, yeah,
Brad, he needs Brad O'Brien again,

139
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:30.799
Brad, if he gets a judgment. Now, even though he can't lean

140
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:33.200
the house. Once he gets a
judgment, let's say a small claims court

141
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:37.799
for this three grand let's say he
could put a lead. Can't you take

142
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:41.639
a judgment and go against a house. Yes. When you win in court

143
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:43.440
and get a judgment, you can
get a transcript of the judgment issued by

144
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:46.000
the court clerk, take that to
the recorder's office and record it, and

145
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:50.799
on that day you have a lean
against all their real property in that county.

146
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:54.759
You don't even have to go specifically
to each house. It's automatic.

147
00:10:56.080 --> 00:10:58.000
When you put it right, you
don't even have to say the property address.

148
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:05.879
Now one, did you hear that? Yes? Have you tried taking

149
00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:09.919
him to small claims court? Well? Actually I tried to call you and

150
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:13.639
get this is straight up and see
if you can help me out. But

151
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.320
I know that No, no,
no, we listen, We'll we'll call

152
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:20.480
the guy. We'll talk to him. But Jorge, what I'm saying is

153
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:26.600
small claims court. Let me just
ask you something straight up. You're documenting

154
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:28.159
it everything, or you're not afraid
to go to court because they might do

155
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:33.279
something to you? Right? Yeah, I mean you are. I don't

156
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:35.840
care one way or the other.
I'm just asking you. Are you legal?

157
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:41.759
Oh? Yeah? Okay, because
even if you're not legal, you

158
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:46.679
can take someone to court. I
mean what I'm saying is, no matter

159
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:50.440
what if you no matter what your
immigration status is, whether you're an asylum

160
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:54.080
seeker, you're here without documentation,
whatever, you still have a right to

161
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:58.720
be paid for work done. So
what I'm saying is this that that doesn't

162
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:05.000
apply to you. We can give
this this No you finished? Yeah,

163

164
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:13.200

166
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:26.039
This guy that you work for,
this Jorge Sanchez, does he do a

167
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:30.440
lot of business in Boulder. Yes, actually he has an office. Uh

Marvel. You know, somebody says she's

176
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:13.080
really not your first deputy. She
was Deputy Daft was a deputy, but

177
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:18.480
Deputy Daft was more like an associate
producer and worked with Sue's help, like

178
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:22.919
you like you, but she so
even though like I could call you,

179
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:28.120
deputy Kachina, you're not really so
I'm still sticking to it. She's our

180
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.879
first official, kind of full time
deputy. And we're gonna call her Deputy

181
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:35.759
Marvel, and we're gonna give this
to her and have her see if she

182

So, speaking of HVAC, let's talk

206
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:31.559
to Kent, Kent. Welcome to
the show. What's going on? Kent?

207
00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:35.200
Hello? Tom? Hey, what's
going on? Bro? A few

208
00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:39.399
times over the years, Oh really, maybe I'll remember them. But what's

209
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:46.360
going on today, Kent? Well, my daughters here and furnish went to

210
00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:52.600
put So and her heat her furnace. Does she have like furnace and AC?

211
00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:58.840
Yes? Single family home home?
Yes, family home built in the

212
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:06.519
late seventies whatever, seventy six,
mid seventies. Is that the original furnace?

213
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:14.039
I believe? So who last quite
a while? My god, it

214
00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:19.159
did? So. I think the
hate exchanger is cracked. And you know,

215
00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:23.120
there's the breed coming out of it, and we had an estimate.

216
00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:26.039
A guy come in and give estimate. No matter what, I'm going to

217
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:30.440
tell you this, No matter what, after that age, you're going to

218
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:33.679
save money getting a new one because
it's going to be way, way,

219
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:38.080
way more efficient. How big is
her house? It's about nineteen hundred square

220
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:44.200
feet. Okay, So you had
someone come in and what happened? They

221
00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:48.120
give us an estimate of sixty over
sixteen thousand dollars. You know, I'd

222
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:52.240
like to be shocked right now,
But if I'm going to be totally one

223
00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:59.919
hundred percent honest with you, that
could happen depending on the company and depending

224
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.000
on the equipment. Now, do
you mind telling me who did who quoted

225
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:08.960
you that? I'm not exactly sure
I was. Okay, I will tell

226
00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:15.039
you this for that size house for
now. I'm not saying you can't get

227
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:21.720
screaming deals in between, but I'm
going to tell you it wouldn't be unusual

228
00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:26.400
to pay on the lower end eighty
five to nine thousand all the way up

229
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:30.400
for a good one. Now I'm
talking about a pretty good one. So

230
00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:37.480
what is she getting for that?
Oh? It was a she didn't agree

231
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:42.920
to it, did she? No, no, okay, we're just shopping

232
00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:48.720
that that's thank you for calling.
Thank god you didn't pull the trigger yet.

233
00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:52.079
Now, I'm not telling you that
my people could save you money.

234
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:56.160
I'm not telling you that, but
I'm sure telling you you would be you

235
00:17:56.200 --> 00:18:02.119
would be silly not to shop them. Well, shop the prices of furnaces

236
00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:07.279
in online, and don't just go
with the cheapest either. I'm telling you

237
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:11.759
we've had more and more people ripped
off or they spend more money because the

238
00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:15.960
the installation was bad. Okay,
so what are you finding for prices?

239
00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:21.680
Just what I said around eight to
I'll bet you could go eight to eighteen.

240
00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:29.440
Yes I can. I can find
one from you know, twenty five

241
00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:30.880
hundred bucks. You can get it. No you won't, No, you

242
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:34.599
won't. You will never get a
furnace installed in that house for twenty five

243
00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:41.359
hundred dollars, just a furnace alone. Well okay, well okay, then

244
00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:45.640
you have permits, you have electrical, you have who knows what retrofitting?

245
00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:48.960
I mean, come on, man, you you know you go buy eggs

246
00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:52.480
and then go to a restaurant to
get a breakfast. It's gonna be there's

247
00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:56.000
gonna be a little difference there.
Don't even tell me about equipment costs.

248
00:18:56.200 --> 00:19:00.759
And first of all, I've been
to I've been a Mastren contract for for

249
00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:03.279
forty five years, so I know. So you know that. Okay,

250
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:07.279
So I can tell you I can
could buy brick for a certain price,

251
00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:11.720
but what difference does that make.
What I'm saying is and I can.

252
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:15.720
I'm not insulting you. I'm talking
to my audience. When you can buy

253
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:19.480
an outlet at home depot for two
bucks or three dollars, that doesn't mean

254
00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:23.559
you're going to have it installed for
three plus another twenty. It's not gonna

255
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:29.440
happen because you have all the insurances, all the everything that goes with life.

256
00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:32.839
It's just one of those things.
So now here's the deal. The

257
00:19:32.920 --> 00:19:37.200
most foolhardy thing anyone could do is
find a furnace and have it installed themselves,

258
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:40.200
because in the long run it's going
to cost him money. However,

259
00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:44.319
the other most foolhardy thing as somebody
could do is just pay out the nose

260
00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:48.799
because they think they need to.
So there's a delicate balance in there somewhere.

261
00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:52.799
And by the way, twenty five
hundred will get you probably an eighty

262
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:57.599
percent. You're not going to get
a ninety five percent modulating furnace. Yes,

263
00:19:57.680 --> 00:20:02.599
sir, I know. Yeah.
So what are you calling about?

264
00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:06.079
What can we help you with?
Ken? I'm just asking if you had

265
00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:10.880
something I recommend that now I do
it people I can recommend, And I'm

266
00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:15.440
going to tell you straight right up, right now, you will have to

267
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:18.279
do some homework because you're going to
get from low to high. And they

268
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:26.000
all can justify it in their own
minds because of their warranties, because of

269
00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:30.160
their installation and how perfect they are
and everything else. They can all justify

270
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:33.720
it. Now I imagine she's going
to have to do both her air and

271
00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:40.000
her furnace. Is that right,
Yes, sir? Okay, now yes,

272
00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:42.519
At the risk of pissing people off, I'm going to tell you what's

273
00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:47.880
there. And I say pissing people
off because everyone would want me to say

274
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:51.839
this is the only place to call. I'm not going to do that.

275
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:55.599
I'm going to tell you that we
have good people. Now. I know

276
00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:59.359
who i'd call for my house,
but who cares. Now, let's talk

277
00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:04.680
about this first and foremost. Let's
talk about like Plumbline has something right now,

278
00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:07.720
you should And again, if they
don't want to come out and give

279
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:11.240
you an estimate unless they know you
want to buy it. I would get

280
00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:15.400
multiple estimates in your position right now
to get an idea of what the market

281
00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:19.720
is. But I would trust any
one of them in there, because each

282
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:23.799
one of them will have a good
deal. But it's a good deal on

283
00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:26.359
what they're selling. When I say
a good deal, it's not going to

284
00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:32.839
be cheap. But how about this. You have Plumbline for example, it's

285
00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:40.279
plumb Line Services, and they're offering
a free I want a free furnace with

286
00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:45.839
the purchase of an air conditioner.
Now, obviously you're saying, how can

287
00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:49.079
they do that? Well, because
you need to figure that out, and

288
00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:52.720
they do it, and they really
do it, and they figure there's enough

289
00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:56.720
margin in there they can get that
done. Now, does that free furnace

290
00:21:57.240 --> 00:22:00.680
an air conditioner turn out to be
cheaper than someone else can do both of

291
00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:07.240
them for? Maybe not? Okay, So check with plumb Line Services and

292
00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:10.640
they're good, they're great people.
Let's put it that way. Fix it

293
00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:14.400
twenty four to seven. Let's talk
about them. I know, George,

294
00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:18.400
I know that company. They have
great value. They might be a little

295
00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:22.759
better price, I don't know,
but they can get you. Yeah,

296
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:27.039
why do advertising for all of these
people? Every one of them and they're

297
00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:30.160
on my referral list. That's why
I'm not going to tell you to only

298
00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:33.079
go to one. I'm going to
tell you that one thing. I know.

299
00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:37.240
They'll do quality work. It'll be
a good value for what you get.

300
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:41.319
It will not be cheap. But
listen, my show is filled with

301
00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:45.079
people who went cheap. That's what
I make my living on people who went

302
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:49.319
cheap and regret it. Is that
to say you can't get a great deal,

303
00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:53.319
No, it's not. I don't
want people to think they automatically have

304
00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:57.279
to pay out the nose. There
is a balance. So plumb Lines ever

305

00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:27.880
not overly expensive. Okay. They

every one of them, will come

315
00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:47.640
But I don't think, no matter
what, you should ever fix that.

316
00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:48.960
No matter what, I don't care
what it costs, you should get a

317
00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:55.799
new one at this point. The
other one is the other one is what's

318
00:23:55.839 --> 00:24:00.440
his name, uh, Master Router. Now Master Router does plumbing and drains,

319
00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:07.759
but he also guarantees he is starting
to advertise in the springs for example,

320
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:11.880
guaranteed lowest price. Now he's been
on my referral list for many years.

321
00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:18.319
That's Master Router. And again,
please people don't mistake the word Router

322
00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:22.920
for all the other companies with the
name Router in it, because, to

323
00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:26.799
be frank with you, most of
them are ripoffs with the name Router in

324
00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:30.839
the name Master Router. They're great
people. So I gave you a lot

325
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:36.279
to think about, but I'm not
going to tell you a price. I'm

326
00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:40.319
just going to give you a range. If they say they can do an

327
00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:45.359
ac and a furnace of any quality
for under eight grand, I would run

328
00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:49.039
away from them because if they burn
your house down or if something goes wrong,

329
00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:52.920
they're not going to be around.
I'm sorry, but that's life now

346
00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:29.039
going on with you, Arless?
Well, I'm over eighty years old and

347
00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:33.759
I'm having roof problems. I have
my leak, My roof is leaking,

348
00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:41.119
and I needed some recommendations for people

00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:11.480
damage? Do you know, Arles? Or is this just old? Well?

355
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:15.680
If you know it was old,
I had an estimate last year and

356
00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:21.920
the insurance company, which I've paid
for for years and years, that it

357
00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:26.319
was too old to repair. Well, what does that mean? Are they

358
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:32.000
saying? Wait, are they saying
you're no longer covered. No, well,

359
00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:37.160
I have to pay for it.
I just I have some other problems

360
00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:41.759
and I just want to pay for
the leak. Okay, Arlest, how

361

asphalt roof? Do you know?
I don't know. Okay. Did it

363
00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:59.200
start leaking as a result of a
hailstorm or a windstorm? Well, we

364
00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:03.559
had a lot of wind. I
think it was Friday or Saturday and that's

365
00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:07.839
when it started leaking. Well,
you may have an insurance claim. Who

366
00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:15.319
is your insurance company? Well,
it's home something I have. My daughter

367
00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:21.079
from Texas was here helping me with
stuff, and she had a car accident

368
00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:25.599
and hasn't been able to come here

369
00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:30.640
Is she doing Okay? She's having
a lot of problems. Uh. Oh

370
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:36.839
yeah. She was coming from the
airport to help me here in Littleton and

371
00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:41.319
and the uber driver was eating potato
chips and ran into the car ahead of

372
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:45.640
her. Hold on, did she
get an attorney here for that? Oh?

373
00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:51.359
Yeah, she had to because she
didn't know any doctors here. So

374
00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:57.759
is she being represented here in Colorado? I think so? Yeah, Well

375
00:28:57.880 --> 00:29:03.839
she better I mean she's going to
have a good case against them if this

376

attorneys that she should consider. I'm
serious now, because she needs to be

382
00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:34.119
represented. Those people should not get
away with that, especially if she's injured

383
00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:38.559
and if she hasn't signed up with
an attorney yet. I want to make

457
00:35:57.119 --> 00:36:01.360
We got a guy from California,
by the way, who has been paying

458
00:36:01.679 --> 00:36:07.039
someone here in town and Eric Brown
I believe his name is. He's been

459
00:36:07.119 --> 00:36:14.639
paying them at Go Cat Speed Shop
for the past year. He's been paying

460
00:36:14.719 --> 00:36:19.199
them so far eleven thy five hundred. If he demanded a refund, he

461
00:36:19.239 --> 00:36:23.679
got a thousand back. The guy
says, look, I'm a one man

462
00:36:23.719 --> 00:36:25.760
shop. I'll pay you when I
can. But Joe, I have a

463
00:36:25.880 --> 00:36:32.199
question for you, and that is
you found this guy online, you sent

464
00:36:32.280 --> 00:36:37.280
him money. He didn't give you
any kind of problem when you said you

465
00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:39.840
wanted your money back. Did he
say, well, the engine's almost done,

466
00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:43.559
or I put a lot of work
into it, anything like that.

467
00:36:43.840 --> 00:36:47.199
I mean it's been a year.
Well no, Just to clarify, I

468
00:36:47.280 --> 00:36:52.880
started paying him in twenty twenty one
in January twenty three. The motor was

469
00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:58.440
paid in full in November, since
nothing still had not been done. If

470
00:36:58.480 --> 00:37:04.360
you've been paying them, hold on, We've been paying him since twenty twenty

471
00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:09.800
one, and it was completed when
the motor was paid in full in January

472
00:37:09.880 --> 00:37:17.639
of twenty three. January twenty three, okay, so what happened then January

473
00:37:17.800 --> 00:37:21.840
came? Everything was paid in full. Hey, we're waiting on some parts.

474
00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:25.599
I had actually sent him some money
for parts that he had on hand,

475
00:37:29.159 --> 00:37:32.280
and those were supposed to go on
the motor. We were waiting for

476
00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:37.920
parts. Stuff didn't come in.
Stuff didn't come in. So was eleven

477
00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:43.400
five? Was eleven to five considered
paid in full, paid in full,

478
00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:49.800
delivered to my door? But it
wasn't delivered to your door. Nothing has

479
00:37:49.800 --> 00:37:54.280
been done. And he said,
okay, so you paid eleven five for

480
00:37:54.440 --> 00:38:01.079
nothing? For nothing? It was
constant. Hey, I got this real

481

now that I've seen done my due

484
00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:17.280
diligence after the fact. But you
I don't even know how you got a

485
00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:23.480
thousand So okay, you demanded a
refund and got a thousand bucks. And

486
00:38:25.000 --> 00:38:29.280
by the way, there is no
eagle. I there isn't and I didn't

524
00:41:30.760 --> 00:41:37.760

is? Are you kidding me? Including

525
00:41:37.880 --> 00:41:45.599
the hot rod forums and all that
stuff? Oh my god? So and

526
00:41:45.880 --> 00:41:50.119

out. He closed up shop. Does

529
00:42:01.280 --> 00:42:07.760
it say when, Nope, it
just says permanently close. And by the

530
00:42:07.840 --> 00:42:13.599
way, you're right, he's all
over the internet ripping people off all over

531
00:42:15.239 --> 00:42:20.760
gosh, dang it. I mean, how did you, seriously, how

532
00:42:21.000 --> 00:42:25.800
did you find out about him?
You know, the the hot rod industry

533
00:42:25.920 --> 00:42:31.519
people people talk, and you know
there there's other local guys that I should

534
00:42:31.559 --> 00:42:35.880
have went to trying to be something
different. Hey, you know, I've

535
00:42:35.960 --> 00:42:39.800
seen some of his motors and when
they're done, they're great motors. And

536
00:42:40.079 --> 00:42:43.599
I was like, hey, you
know what if that's not going to happen,

537
00:42:43.840 --> 00:42:45.000
we can do this. Hey,
it's not gonna happen, Okay,

538
00:42:45.639 --> 00:42:49.119
I trust, I'm gonna, I'm
gonna, I'm gonna trust it at the

539
00:42:49.199 --> 00:42:52.400
last time I'm ever gonna trust anyone
ever again. I mean, if I

540
00:42:52.480 --> 00:42:55.239
haven't stripped your hand in the past, it doesn't matter about shaking hands.

541
00:42:55.280 --> 00:43:00.239
You don't pay up front. How
about that one? I agree? Like

542
00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:04.320
I said, I mean, man, this is really bad. This is

543
00:43:04.480 --> 00:43:08.840
really bad. And unfortunately they won't
do anything to them. They won't.

544
00:43:09.599 --> 00:43:15.079
You know, the only the only
people in business who who don't get away

545
00:43:15.159 --> 00:43:21.480
with fudging and doing stuff is Trump. Everyone else gets away with it everyone

546
00:43:22.320 --> 00:43:25.800
And uh, I'm I'm serious,
man, this sucks. I want to

547
00:43:25.840 --> 00:43:32.679

594
00:47:37.280 --> 00:47:39.719
to find pictures of him online as
well, so we can get a sleeze

595
00:47:39.719 --> 00:47:45.320
brigade going on him. Stephanie,
what's going on with you? Stephanie?

596
00:47:46.440 --> 00:47:52.280
Hi? So hi. I don't
even know how where to begin. So

597
00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:58.239
we bought We bought a twenty twenty
three brand new Yukondinaliti Ultimate. We bought

598
00:47:58.280 --> 00:48:01.239
a state because where how did you
find it? It was it used?

599
00:48:02.360 --> 00:48:06.199
No, it was brand new?
Oh a new one, okay, twenty

600
00:48:06.280 --> 00:48:12.920
twenty three Yukondinaley. I had to
because they they weren't making a lot of

601
00:48:13.039 --> 00:48:16.159
diesels and they weren't making this trim
level. I had to call around and

602
00:48:16.239 --> 00:48:20.760
we finally found one out of state
in Utah. Okay, you found it

603
00:48:20.840 --> 00:48:24.039
in Utah? And was it at
a dealer? Was it a dealership?

604
00:48:24.119 --> 00:48:30.639
Yeah? Okay, what was the
name of the dealer. The dealer is

605
00:48:31.440 --> 00:48:38.800
Provo Buick GMC Provo. Okay.
So we get the car, the cargets

606
00:48:38.880 --> 00:48:43.119
driven out here, we pay for
we pay for the guy to drive it

607
00:48:43.159 --> 00:48:47.440
out here. Salesman drives it out
here, drops it off. He says,

608
00:48:47.599 --> 00:48:52.960
hey, there's I noticed some rattling
when I was when I was driving,

609
00:48:53.280 --> 00:48:57.400
we just think, okay, maybe
when you paid a guy to drive

610
00:48:57.480 --> 00:49:00.880
it. How did you find this
guy? He was a salesman for Probo

611
00:49:00.960 --> 00:49:07.519
b A GMC. Okay, got
it all right. So we take long

612
00:49:07.599 --> 00:49:14.199
story short. We take the car
in for the rattling, and that's when

613
00:49:14.320 --> 00:49:20.159
the story begins. So they have
to reseal the entire engine on a brand

614
00:49:20.199 --> 00:49:24.320
new car with I would say,
I mean there was probably a wait a

615
00:49:24.400 --> 00:49:29.480
minute, wait a minute, what
do you mean seal the engine? That's

616
00:49:29.519 --> 00:49:31.840
what they said. They said,
we have to reseal the entire engine because

617
00:49:31.880 --> 00:49:36.480
there I have no idea what I
don't even know what that means. Reseal

618
00:49:36.679 --> 00:49:40.679
an engine what does that mean?
I don't either there was there was oil

619
00:49:40.760 --> 00:49:46.280
leaking all over our garage or brand
like resealing would mean all the gaskets,

620
00:49:46.639 --> 00:49:50.079
one of the gaskets. I mean, I'm not expecting you to know.

621
00:49:50.239 --> 00:49:52.840
They didn't tell you, but I'm
wondering out loud here, Steph, Like,

622
00:49:53.000 --> 00:49:57.719
what the hell are they talking about? Anyway? What happened then?

623
00:49:58.280 --> 00:50:00.360
Like like it was? It seemed
to me like it was all of them

624
00:50:00.400 --> 00:50:04.880
because they had it for they had
our car for a good month. Okay,

625
00:50:04.960 --> 00:50:07.159
hold on, what dealer did you
take it to? Here? We

626
00:50:07.280 --> 00:50:12.519
took it to automation by oke GMC, which is because amazing. Okay,

627
00:50:14.119 --> 00:50:16.800
it was leaking oil. You took
it to autoation? Yes, okay,

628
00:50:17.440 --> 00:50:22.079
So here's what I want to know. AutoNation? Which one was it again?

629
00:50:23.280 --> 00:50:27.559
The one in Park Meadows? The
ok GMC? Okay? And so

630
00:50:27.719 --> 00:50:32.079
what did they do? So they
reassealed the engine or whatever they needed to

631
00:50:32.119 --> 00:50:37.760
do. Everything was under warranty.
So they have been amazing up until this

632
00:50:37.840 --> 00:50:40.039
point. They gave us a loaner. They good, Okay, you like

633
00:50:40.199 --> 00:50:43.440
them, they've kind of bent over
backwards for us. Yeah, they have

634
00:50:43.519 --> 00:50:46.480
been great, and I mean they
didn't happen, but it's under warranty rights

635
00:50:46.519 --> 00:50:53.760
the car, it's under warranty.
Yeah. So so fast forward. So

636
00:50:53.920 --> 00:51:00.800
we bought the car February of last
year. Long story short. Within this

637
00:51:00.039 --> 00:51:07.719
last year, we have taken the
car in you're talking February of twenty twenty

638
00:51:07.800 --> 00:51:13.239
three, yes, correct, and
you've to and how long have you been

639
00:51:13.440 --> 00:51:17.239
messing with it the last year since
we've had it, We've we've taken the

640
00:51:17.320 --> 00:51:23.079
car in the check engine light,
pops, I would say at least once

641
00:51:23.159 --> 00:51:29.199
every other month. Is it still
you? You unfortunately are beyond the Lemon

642
00:51:29.320 --> 00:51:34.000
law. Well, here's the kicker. We actually followed the Lemon law with

643
00:51:34.360 --> 00:51:38.159
or we went through the whole Lemon
law process with GMC. We've told them,

644
00:51:38.559 --> 00:51:40.760
you know, we've been at that
point, we had been out of

645
00:51:40.800 --> 00:51:49.239
our car a combined total of about
forty five to fifty days. Because it

646
00:51:49.360 --> 00:51:52.119
I mean, it's it's yeah,
that would have qualified for the lemon what

647
00:51:52.280 --> 00:51:58.440
happened when you went through it?
So they basically told us that that there

648
00:51:58.679 --> 00:52:06.199
was because we hadn't We hadn't been
out of a it wasn't an incan like

649
00:52:06.280 --> 00:52:10.199
the inconvenience basically didn't matter, and
there was who told you that? Who

650
00:52:10.320 --> 00:52:15.320
told you that? The arbitrator,
Yeah, the arbitrator. So they told

651
00:52:15.400 --> 00:52:17.840
us that there was nothing that that
couldn't be fixed, and they were actively

652
00:52:17.920 --> 00:52:22.639
still trying to fix it, and
it wasn't beyond repair, and they continued

653
00:52:22.679 --> 00:52:30.559
to repair it. So the Lemon
law does not apply. So in that

654
00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:35.159
so we've had to reseal the engine. We've had to they had to replace

655
00:52:35.199 --> 00:52:39.039
the catalytic converter. They just had
to. We just had it in not

656
00:52:39.199 --> 00:52:46.400
long ago. They keep telling us
that I guess the diesels are because there's

657
00:52:46.440 --> 00:52:52.119
so many regulations on them. Now
the emissions are popping. That's what's making

658
00:52:52.039 --> 00:53:00.440
a lot of the chick Okay,
listen, Yeah, Stephaniet a car,

659
00:53:00.639 --> 00:53:06.119
it's new, it's under warranty,
and you're having terrible luck with it.

660
00:53:06.880 --> 00:53:12.840
Now you're telling me for the Lemon. Actually, I would have hired an

661
00:53:12.840 --> 00:53:17.199
attorney and sued the dealer for that. That not not not the local dealer.

662
00:53:17.239 --> 00:53:20.840
I would have sued that dealer,
and I would have sued Beeber because

663
00:53:21.519 --> 00:53:27.400
but it's gonna I should not be
a jud it's a GMC, so you're

664
00:53:27.519 --> 00:53:34.840
gonna have to it's technically GMC,
not Cadillac, right right right, Okay,

665
00:53:35.000 --> 00:53:37.920
so you're gonna have because the Escalade
is is its sister vehicle, right

666
00:53:38.760 --> 00:53:44.440
yeah, Like okay, I you're
going to have to bring a lawsuit if

667
00:53:44.480 --> 00:53:49.320
these people say, I mean other
than that, or or you lawsuits will

668
00:53:49.360 --> 00:53:53.360
get action. Even though a Lemon
law did not help you. I mean,

669
00:53:53.480 --> 00:53:59.159
how can they say that you lost
use of the car? But I

670
00:53:59.360 --> 00:54:04.119
think I would be the Utah law
that would take effect. That's where you

671
00:54:04.199 --> 00:54:09.360
bought it. Well, Utah Lemon
law, they're they're almost identical. There's

672
00:54:09.400 --> 00:54:15.920
not really which is thirty days thirty
days loss of use or the same problem

673
00:54:15.599 --> 00:54:22.360
four times? Yes, did you
have the same problem four times? Where

674
00:54:22.400 --> 00:54:25.400
you go? I mean it was
it's been the check engine light. So

675
00:54:25.519 --> 00:54:30.719
I but no, it's not saying
now that that that doesn't mean the same

676
00:54:30.800 --> 00:54:35.920
problem. But you did have laws
of ufty days. Well, how do

677
00:54:36.039 --> 00:54:38.320
they say being out of it?
For where did you file your Lemon law?

678
00:54:40.719 --> 00:54:44.679
Well, so you start to claim
online, where did you file it?

679
00:54:45.400 --> 00:54:50.039
Where did you file it? You
mean what state or like where on

680
00:54:51.519 --> 00:54:57.880
like what state and where you're supposed
to go through the the UH program.

681
00:54:58.800 --> 00:55:01.280
Huh Yeah, So we went through
the Better Business Bureau. The Better Business

682
00:55:01.320 --> 00:55:08.000
Bureau directed us where where? Where? Online? Through you? Okay in

683
00:55:08.239 --> 00:55:12.679
Utah? Good? Okay, Yeah, that's where you're supposed to. And

684
00:55:12.800 --> 00:55:16.559
it was the Utah BBB who said
you don't have a case, the arbitrator.

685
00:55:17.519 --> 00:55:22.400
Arbitrator. Yes, well they're wrong
me, it doesn't make sense right,

686
00:55:22.079 --> 00:55:25.400
Well, they're wrong, but you
see that doesn't preclude you're a lawyer,

687
00:55:25.679 --> 00:55:30.920
birthplace. You can still sue under
the Lemon law. How much did

688
00:55:30.960 --> 00:55:37.840
you pay for this vehicle? Ninety? Oh my god. Yeah. We've

689
00:55:37.840 --> 00:55:40.960
got three small kids and it's just
like, this is a nightmare. It

690
00:55:42.400 --> 00:55:45.079
sucks. What was the okay are
you saying you've never had any trouble free

691
00:55:45.159 --> 00:55:52.880
time with this thing? Ever?
Very rarely? There's there has not.

692
00:55:52.079 --> 00:55:57.280
I would say we've taken it in
almost every month, if not every every

693
00:55:57.400 --> 00:56:00.039
other month. It hasn't been.
We haven't had we haven't made like a

694
00:56:00.119 --> 00:56:07.679
six month stretch with no problems.
When when is the warranty of three years

695
00:56:07.559 --> 00:56:13.079
thirty six I think three years thirty
six thousand miles, three years fifty thousand

696
00:56:13.119 --> 00:56:16.079
miles, I don't We still have
two more years with the warranty, but

697
00:56:16.480 --> 00:56:22.880
what do you want. I just
want a vehicle that actually that is reliable,

698
00:56:22.000 --> 00:56:25.400
that I'm not having to worry about, like potentially getting stuck on the

699
00:56:25.440 --> 00:56:29.159
side of the road with my kids
and my husband's at work, and you

700
00:56:29.239 --> 00:56:30.880
know, it's like, I just
want a reliable car that I don't have

701
00:56:30.960 --> 00:56:35.880
to take to the shop every day
because if the dealer washes hands of it.

702
00:56:36.000 --> 00:56:39.159
In Utah, Listen, basically,
you're not You're not going to like

703
00:56:39.239 --> 00:56:42.320
what we hear. You're not going
to like what we have to say.

704
00:56:42.679 --> 00:56:45.559
I think you're gonna have to sue
Buick. Yeah, excuse me, I

705
00:56:45.639 --> 00:56:50.320
keep saying you because of provo provo
GMS, you're gonna have to sue the

706
00:56:50.400 --> 00:56:53.320
dealer out there and GMC, you're
gonna have to bring a lawsuit. You

707
00:56:53.400 --> 00:56:58.079
see, let me just explain something
to you. The Lemon law does not

708
00:56:58.280 --> 00:57:01.760
mean you can't sue. It just
means it's an arbitration process they want you

709
00:57:01.880 --> 00:57:07.559
to go to first. It doesn't
preclude you. You didn't sign anything,

710
00:57:07.639 --> 00:57:14.519
did you on binding arbitration or did
you never even go through it? We

711
00:57:15.880 --> 00:57:19.320
we signed, I don't I'd have
to look through my documentation. I don't

712
00:57:19.360 --> 00:57:21.920
remember what we find well you could
have. You may you may have signed

713
00:57:21.960 --> 00:57:24.719
your rights away. I wish you
would have called us in the beginning.

714
00:57:25.559 --> 00:57:31.440
I wish so too. Man,
it's been well, yeah, but you

715
00:57:31.519 --> 00:57:34.880
waited too long. Reach out to
a lawyer. You got to tell me

716
00:57:34.960 --> 00:57:37.960
what you signed. If you signed
a waiver and said you would have buy,

717
00:57:38.239 --> 00:57:49.679
did you actually go through the arbitration
we went to. Basically we went

718
00:57:49.760 --> 00:57:53.039
to I forget what it was called. Maybe it was called or mediation or

719
00:57:53.159 --> 00:57:58.320
arbitration. So we get to the
we present our case, they present their

720
00:57:58.400 --> 00:58:00.119
case. Okay, then you did. Okay, you lost. In other

721
00:58:00.159 --> 00:58:05.119
words, you lost, ye okay, if you lost. If you lost,

722
00:58:06.480 --> 00:58:10.599
you better hope you didn't sign a
binding arbitration agreement. Call us back,

723

because really, if you did,
you're done. You're just done,

00:58:17.159 --> 00:58:22.159
okay. I mean, I don't
know what else to tell you. If

00:59:47.480 --> 00:59:55.400
I hate even bringing these up.
Squatting and someone wants to know if

742
00:59:55.440 --> 01:00:00.079
you can prove breaking and entering.
Brad O'Brien O'Brien Egal Services, He's a

743
01:00:00.119 --> 01:00:05.840
real estaler. If you can show
or prove breaking and entering does that enter

744
01:00:05.920 --> 01:00:08.880
into it? Isn't breaking and entering
a crime? If someone is living there

745
01:00:08.920 --> 01:00:14.679
after you get back from unextended stay
or after a weekend and somebody's in your

746
01:00:14.719 --> 01:00:16.719
house and they claim they live there, well, if you can get the

747
01:00:16.760 --> 01:00:20.280
police or sure you have to do
something about the breaking or entering and just

748
01:00:20.519 --> 01:00:22.840
remove that person, that's ideal because
then you don't have to really go to

749
01:00:22.880 --> 01:00:29.159
the eviction laws. Okay, but
so breaking and entering still is wrong if

750
01:00:29.239 --> 01:00:32.159
there is evidence of that. But
if somehow they got in and there's no

751
01:00:32.320 --> 01:00:36.599
evidence of that, that's where the
problem comes in. Yeah, if the

752
01:00:36.639 --> 01:00:40.000
police won't won't actually pull the people
out of there right away, like right

753
01:00:40.079 --> 01:00:44.840
after they break an enter, then
you have to look at the eviction laws.

754
01:00:45.440 --> 01:00:49.280
Now. I don't know if you've
seen on YouTube and Instagram and a

755
01:00:49.320 --> 01:00:53.679
bunch of social media people taking squatters
enforcement into their own hands, well that's

756
01:00:53.719 --> 01:00:57.199
called self help and that's illegal,
and then'll get a landlord in trouble.

757
01:00:57.360 --> 01:01:02.079
But in the cases we've seen online, they're saying that the people that they've

758
01:01:02.159 --> 01:01:07.239
evicted don't have a pot. Basically, they have nothing and there's not one

759
01:01:07.360 --> 01:01:12.280
thing they can do now, I
imagine there's somebody sophisticated they would fight it.

760
01:01:12.400 --> 01:01:17.360
But so far, these people that
go to rescue for the squatters or

761
01:01:17.400 --> 01:01:23.119
excuse me, they're not squatters rescues. They landlord or homeowner rescuers. They

762
01:01:23.239 --> 01:01:30.199
rescue homeowners from squatters. They've literally
you've said some of them. They take

763
01:01:30.519 --> 01:01:37.400
a chainsaw and chainsaw the door open
and go in and throw everything out,

764
01:01:37.880 --> 01:01:40.000
and almost dare the people that do
something about it. And the people are

765
01:01:40.039 --> 01:01:45.199
so frightened that they know they don't
have a leg to stand on. Even

766
01:01:45.239 --> 01:01:47.159
though you can get in trouble for
that, very few people are getting in

767
01:01:47.239 --> 01:01:51.079
trouble for it. Well, that
seems to me to cross the line.

768
01:01:51.119 --> 01:01:54.559
I think these rescue companies. Where
they don't cross the line is where they

769
01:01:54.719 --> 01:02:00.119
purposefully co squat with somebody. Oh
I've seen that, that's right. They

770
01:02:00.239 --> 01:02:01.440
go in and say we live here
too, Yeah, And they don't do

771
01:02:01.519 --> 01:02:04.880
the dishes, and they they don't
flush the toilet, and they just try

772
01:02:04.920 --> 01:02:07.400
to annoy the squatter and so that
to get the squatter to voluntarily move.

773
01:02:07.719 --> 01:02:13.480
But it is amazing to me that
this problem even exists. I mean,

774
01:02:13.559 --> 01:02:16.960
it really is amazing to me.
But someone has figured out the law and

775
01:02:17.079 --> 01:02:22.000
said, hey, technically, if
I claim residency here. We had a

776
01:02:22.039 --> 01:02:28.280
woman the other day who allows someone
to get all of their mail there and

777
01:02:28.480 --> 01:02:32.559
to call it their permanent address.
They don't live there, but they allow

778
01:02:32.639 --> 01:02:37.239
it, totally allow it, and
it's been going on for one or two

779
01:02:37.320 --> 01:02:43.960
years. If that person wanted to
live there, I wonder could that person

780
01:02:44.000 --> 01:02:45.760
who owns the home keep them out. I've not seen that case, but

781
01:02:45.840 --> 01:02:50.719
I don't think that person has occupancy
just because they get to chase the mailbox.

782
01:02:51.800 --> 01:02:53.159
Okay, Okay, they don't have
keys, they don't get to go

783
01:02:53.199 --> 01:02:55.719
in. Say no, they don't, but they called it their residence.

784
01:02:55.800 --> 01:03:00.119
So if this woman is ever away
and she comes back and sees this person

785
01:03:00.239 --> 01:03:04.760
there, I mean, they would
have evidence of a permanent address for years.

786
01:03:05.280 --> 01:03:07.199
But then the person would have an
argument or would have evidence that there's

787
01:03:07.199 --> 01:03:10.960
an oral agreement that only a license
was recreated, not a tendency. Okay,

788
01:03:12.039 --> 01:03:16.159
all right, Now Edward wants to
talk about social security? Edward,

789
01:03:16.239 --> 01:03:27.039
go ahead, what's going on?
Ed Edward? Edward, Hello, I

790
01:03:27.119 --> 01:03:31.280
guess he's I guess he's not.
Let's let's move on. I really don't

791
01:03:31.320 --> 01:03:35.519
have time if people are off the
phone. Matt, go ahead, Matt,

792
01:03:35.559 --> 01:03:38.639
what's going on? What's happening in
Matt? Actually it's actually Mark.

793
01:03:38.679 --> 01:03:42.599
I was just calling about that in
flat Head Shop. Okay, what do

794
01:03:42.679 --> 01:03:45.480
you know about it? I mean, the guy's been ripping people off for

795
01:03:45.599 --> 01:03:50.199
years. I think you already got
to that point. I seem to be

796
01:03:50.320 --> 01:03:53.000
in somewhat good graces with him.
Do you know where he is? Mark?

797
01:03:53.840 --> 01:03:57.679
Do you know where he is?
I think I do, yes,

798
01:03:57.840 --> 01:04:00.639
I mean I know where a shop
is, and as a is he on

799
01:04:00.760 --> 01:04:05.000
South Santa Fe where they said he
was? He is? Yeah? But

800
01:04:05.280 --> 01:04:11.480
is he still there at forty four
twenty five South Santa Fe? I think

801
01:04:11.559 --> 01:04:14.760
so. It looks like a storage
building, but it's a bunch of different

802
01:04:14.800 --> 01:04:17.639
little small lights in the shops and
he's kind of in the back on the

803
01:04:17.719 --> 01:04:20.880
west side. Well, how the
hell is he getting away with it?

804
01:04:23.559 --> 01:04:26.559
I don't know. I think you
know, it's taken years for people to

805
01:04:27.280 --> 01:04:30.039
take it to this level. But
as you can see by googling him,

806
01:04:30.079 --> 01:04:34.719
I almost gave him money until I
googled him and then Joe. Actually he

807
01:04:34.840 --> 01:04:40.239
posted something on Facebook recently and I
reached out to him, and that's kind

808
01:04:40.239 --> 01:04:45.960
of I encouraged him to call you. How old is this guy? It's

809
01:04:45.000 --> 01:04:49.920
probably forty okay, that's what I'm
seeing. It's maybe fifty, maybe fifty.

810
01:04:50.320 --> 01:04:56.360
Is he blondish? So I only
met him once, but I think

811
01:04:56.480 --> 01:05:01.320
so. And he's tall, tall
the average or average to tall. I'm

812
01:05:01.400 --> 01:05:04.079
just trying to figure out where his
picture is. I'm trying to get him

813
01:05:04.119 --> 01:05:10.639
posted up so we can. You
don't happen to know where if would you

814
01:05:10.719 --> 01:05:16.000
know what if you saw a picture
of him, probably go on his website

815
01:05:16.119 --> 01:05:19.000
and see if those where it says
other pictures, see if any of those

816
01:05:19.039 --> 01:05:23.039
pictures are him. He has an
open house picture, and then he has

817
01:05:23.119 --> 01:05:26.760
a picture with a couple of girls
he calls the I think he calls him

818
01:05:26.800 --> 01:05:30.480
the bing girls or whatever. If
you go on his website, huh,

819
01:05:31.639 --> 01:05:34.840
I said, lucky girls. Yeah, yeah, I know. I think

820
01:05:34.920 --> 01:05:40.119
that's him. I'm trying to get
a picture posts on him. So I

821
01:05:40.360 --> 01:05:42.920
just don't know how he gets away
with it. I mean, why people

822
01:05:43.559 --> 01:05:47.599
I haven't gone after him, you
know, I mean when he was talking

823
01:05:47.639 --> 01:05:50.159
to me about building my motor.
He knows what he's talking about, you

824
01:05:50.239 --> 01:05:55.159
know, and people probably trust him. I just had to wear it all

825
01:05:55.239 --> 01:05:59.199
to actually google him before I did
it, And that's when I found out,

826
01:05:59.280 --> 01:06:01.239
you know, the stories from years
ago, and I mean people from

827
01:06:01.280 --> 01:06:05.079
across the country. People I know
it different how I mean, you know,

828
01:06:05.239 --> 01:06:09.320
you would think you would think you
can fool some of the people some

829
01:06:09.480 --> 01:06:15.000
of the time. As they say, man, stopping, he's not stopping.

830
01:06:15.760 --> 01:06:21.880
I don't so I believe that it's
him and the hat and sunglasses midway

831
01:06:21.920 --> 01:06:28.159
down his page and like the old
coop roaster. Really that black and white

832
01:06:28.239 --> 01:06:33.119
photo. No, hold on,
let's see. Okay, I'm trying to

833
01:06:33.199 --> 01:06:36.480
We're going We're on got cat speech
Shop. Where did you go when you

834
01:06:36.559 --> 01:06:40.480
got on there? Go cat?
Did you go in the front page,

835
01:06:41.519 --> 01:06:44.320
crop page? Yeah, if you
scroll down to like past kind of where

836
01:06:44.320 --> 01:06:47.880
it shows a bunch of pictures of
some nice cars. Yeah, and then

837
01:06:47.880 --> 01:06:53.239
there's a picture with a guy sitting
in a convertible coop with a green umbrella

838
01:06:53.320 --> 01:06:58.760
behind him. Okay, okay,
I see, yeah, pretty sure that's

839
01:06:58.840 --> 01:07:02.440
him. Not a great picture.
Man, What a ripoff? What a

840
01:07:02.599 --> 01:07:05.519
frickin ripoff? Thanks for that,
though, I mean, hey, you

841
01:07:05.599 --> 01:07:10.639
know something, I don't know what
the hell is going on? This is

842
01:07:10.800 --> 01:07:16.280
like this is like world class ripoffs. What amazes me is that he keeps

843
01:07:16.360 --> 01:07:21.599
finding pigeons to pay him money.
Yeah. Yeah, I wonder if he

844
01:07:21.719 --> 01:07:27.159
ever intends to do any of the
work. I don't know. He's got

845
01:07:27.239 --> 01:07:30.480
a lot of valuable parts in the
shop. You know what. That's hopeful.

846
01:07:30.599 --> 01:07:34.760
That's hopeful. I'll tell you why. If somebody gets a judgment,

847
01:07:36.119 --> 01:07:40.440
they can do a rid of execution. I've seen that happen before. We've

848
01:07:40.519 --> 01:07:45.039
had years ago, we had a
collection attorney who took some consumers. They

849
01:07:45.159 --> 01:07:48.119
got a judgment. Brad, I
don't know if you know about these,

850
01:07:48.239 --> 01:07:53.440
but they're called ritz I'm treat at
a rid of execution. He took the

851
01:07:53.559 --> 01:07:58.079
judgment or the and then he went
to the shop and they I don't know

852
01:07:58.159 --> 01:08:02.360
what steps were in between, but
he literally got a writ and went into

853
01:08:02.440 --> 01:08:05.639
the shop where they could take stuff
out. This was a hot tub dealer,

854
01:08:06.039 --> 01:08:11.840
and they took hot tubs enough to
sell to pay off and satisfy the

855
01:08:11.960 --> 01:08:14.840
judgment. Have you heard of that. Yeah, after you get a judgment,

856
01:08:14.920 --> 01:08:18.279
you can do a post judgment proceeding
to get a writ to either get

857
01:08:18.319 --> 01:08:23.520
possession of personal property or real property. Yeah, you go right into a

858
01:08:23.600 --> 01:08:27.960
shop, so if this guy's got
stuff in there, they can take it.

874
01:09:45.720 --> 01:09:50.359
The new law that says what you
can't automatically end leases? Would that be

01:09:50.439 --> 01:09:55.159
a good one? Lambler cannot non
renew a lease unless they have a just

it or renovate it. We'll move back

Welcome to the show, and what's going

905
01:12:18.319 --> 01:12:23.600
on. Let's talk about that.
Let's talk about this just cause Bill,

906
01:12:24.000 --> 01:12:30.920
Paul, Yeah, thanks Tom,
Yes for Brad. And I think I

907
01:12:30.039 --> 01:12:38.520
know the answer wouldn't hold up and
caught port if I put a clause in

908
01:12:38.600 --> 01:12:44.159
my lease saying that the tenant waves's
rights to anything of the just cause bills.

909
01:12:45.319 --> 01:12:49.680
No, the new bill specifically states
that any waiver like that is void

910
01:12:49.800 --> 01:13:00.640
and not enforceable. Okay, do
you think this could be challenged stitutionally?

911
01:13:00.760 --> 01:13:03.640
I mean I think so personally.
I mean, you have property and you

912
01:13:03.800 --> 01:13:06.800
decide you don't want to rent to
somebody, and if it's not for a

913
01:13:06.880 --> 01:13:11.680
reason of discrimination, I don't see
well how they can force you not to.

914
01:13:11.840 --> 01:13:15.399
But Brad, what do you think? I'm not a constitutional law attorney,

915
01:13:15.520 --> 01:13:20.159
but there might be an argument here
for a taking without just compensation because

916
01:13:20.199 --> 01:13:26.319
you stay. Essentially through legislation has
taken away a real property. Right now,

917
01:13:26.720 --> 01:13:30.479
I want to know this, Paul, Are you a landlord? Yes?

918
01:13:31.640 --> 01:13:35.000
You know it's getting more and more
difficult to be a landlord these days.

919
01:13:35.039 --> 01:13:40.720
We haven't even talked about the new
increased habitability standards. But let's talk

920
01:13:40.760 --> 01:13:43.319
about this one. And by the
way, I want to go on record

921
01:13:43.399 --> 01:13:45.319
as saying, for many many years, I thought renters had no rights,

922
01:13:45.319 --> 01:13:49.239
and I thought it sucked, and
I thought we needed to help this just

923
01:13:49.399 --> 01:13:53.439
cause doesn't make sense to me.
If somebody simply doesn't want to rent you,

924
01:13:53.479 --> 01:13:57.199
they shouldn't have to rent you.
They You know, what if what

925
01:13:57.319 --> 01:13:59.760
if Here's what I need to know, Brad, What if I don't like

926
01:13:59.840 --> 01:14:03.319
it? Because what if other renters
don't want that person there because they cook

927
01:14:03.399 --> 01:14:06.960
stinky food? I'm serious about that. Well, there's something in the new

928
01:14:08.039 --> 01:14:11.119
law about nuisance, but it's not
really well defined. No, it's not

929
01:14:11.479 --> 01:14:15.000
so if if the tenant causes nuisance
or disturbs the quiet enjoyment of the place

930
01:14:15.680 --> 01:14:19.399
affecting other residents, that potentially is
the reason to not But but here's the

931
01:14:19.479 --> 01:14:23.560
problem, here's the main problem.
If Paul just wants to get rid of

932
01:14:23.600 --> 01:14:27.479
that tenant because he gets a lot
of complaints about stuff, he's got to

933
01:14:27.520 --> 01:14:29.960
take. It's got to go to
court, that's right. Only a judge

934
01:14:30.000 --> 01:14:32.560
who can decide if that's right.
Who's right on that? Yep? Paul

935
01:14:32.680 --> 01:14:35.279
isn't that a pain in the ass. So you basically are going to end

936
01:14:35.359 --> 01:14:40.840
up in court every time you want
to get rid of somebody. Basically,

937
01:14:40.960 --> 01:14:44.319
yes, I mean I was at
the hearings and the premise of the law.

938
01:14:45.279 --> 01:14:50.119
The you know geniuses who came up
with this. Uh, they talk

939
01:14:50.239 --> 01:14:56.600
about people who you know, complain
about the heat, so in retaliation,

940
01:14:57.960 --> 01:15:01.039
they don't renew the lease. More, in a case of a divorce,

941
01:15:02.039 --> 01:15:08.399
the landlord takes the side of one
and the other one is left in the

942
01:15:09.439 --> 01:15:14.279
rental. So because you took the
side of the other person, he's not

943
01:15:14.359 --> 01:15:19.119
going to renew the lease. You
know, they may be valid situations,

944
01:15:19.199 --> 01:15:24.960
but the legislature they take a small
problem and they painted with a really broad

945
01:15:25.000 --> 01:15:32.319
brush and just creates problems. I
mean, they profess to attempting to make

946
01:15:33.399 --> 01:15:40.159
housing affordable, but everything they do
costs landlords more money. And guess,

947
01:15:41.239 --> 01:15:45.199
yeah, you're right, You're absolutely
right, Paul, But this is government

948
01:15:45.279 --> 01:15:50.359
isn't every years? Sure? And
here's the other thing. Okay, so

949
01:15:50.560 --> 01:15:55.560
now you basically at the end of
a lease, you have to renew it

950
01:15:55.800 --> 01:15:59.359
unless you have just clause. But
what is just cause that's the problem.

951
01:15:59.680 --> 01:16:04.119
Many times that just cause must be
fought out in court. If somebody doesn't

952
01:16:04.199 --> 01:16:09.880
want to leave, then by golly, Now what about if I want to

953
01:16:10.000 --> 01:16:14.000
raise my rent? Are their rent
controls? Can I just can I raise

954
01:16:14.079 --> 01:16:24.800
it? Brad? Well, well, go ahead, Paul. The new

955
01:16:24.880 --> 01:16:29.840
law says you can only raise rent
once in a twelve month period. Well,

956
01:16:29.920 --> 01:16:32.960
there's nothing wrong, I don't says, yeah, I don't know,

957
01:16:33.199 --> 01:16:38.279
but can you raise it? Okay? Let's say you're getting two thousand dollars

958
01:16:38.319 --> 01:16:43.000
a month for a really nice unit
and you want to get twenty five hundred

959
01:16:43.359 --> 01:16:45.039
and then the person can't afford it, so they leave, right, I

960
01:16:45.119 --> 01:16:48.720
mean, is that okay? Or
is there there's got to be some kind

961
01:16:48.720 --> 01:16:53.520
of limit, right, Well,
this new statue puts a reasonableness in there,

962
01:16:53.760 --> 01:16:55.920
and so again it has to go
to court. That's right, it's

963
01:16:55.960 --> 01:16:59.680
not defined. And it also puts
a ninety day notice requirement in there with

964
01:16:59.800 --> 01:17:02.479
aler has to give ninety days advanced
notice when they want to change their least

965
01:17:02.520 --> 01:17:09.239
form. It's ambiguous whether that includes
the increasing the rent, you know,

966
01:17:09.359 --> 01:17:14.520
Paul. Brad said he suspects a
lot of mom and pop landlords will not

967
01:17:14.760 --> 01:17:23.920
want to rent anymore. Well,
coming in because as my units become vacant,

968
01:17:24.199 --> 01:17:28.079
I'm fixing them and selling them,
and that's just going to take more

969
01:17:28.479 --> 01:17:33.439
rental property off the market and create
again. They're driving up the price of

970
01:17:33.520 --> 01:17:36.600
rent instead. I know, I
know, just the opposite of what they

971
01:17:36.680 --> 01:17:43.319
think they're doing. Thank you,
Paul. You bring up a good point.

972
01:17:44.199 --> 01:17:46.800
That means, let me just tell
you something, okay, man,

973
01:17:47.199 --> 01:17:55.880
No one listens to reason anymore.
Speaking of rentals, Steve, what is

974
01:17:55.920 --> 01:18:00.840
your issue? Steve? Welcome,
what's going on? Thank you? Well,

975
01:18:00.199 --> 01:18:03.600
I live in Fremont County. My
father in law had bought up property

976
01:18:03.680 --> 01:18:08.199
and had our cousin's rented from it, but they took advantage of him for

977
01:18:08.319 --> 01:18:11.159
like the two and a half year
da haven't been rent He's eighty three.

978
01:18:11.319 --> 01:18:15.720
So he finally gave us a permission
and by the course to go through it

979
01:18:15.119 --> 01:18:18.439
and a victim. Now wait a
minute, So they haven't been paying rent

980
01:18:18.520 --> 01:18:24.800
for how long? Two and a
half years. They took advantage of my

981
01:18:24.960 --> 01:18:28.439
eighty three year old father in law. So finally we just got to that

982
01:18:28.560 --> 01:18:30.640
point where we were like, no, let's get rid of them. You

983
01:18:30.680 --> 01:18:33.640
know, I know it's family,
but no, So we went to the

984
01:18:33.720 --> 01:18:36.800
Fremont County a clerk's office. They
said, well, you could do a

985
01:18:36.880 --> 01:18:42.000
notice to quit and then after I
don't remember the notice it because forty five

986
01:18:42.119 --> 01:18:45.359
days, then the property reversed back
to you. So we did that.

987
01:18:46.079 --> 01:18:50.000
So as of February, it's not
exactly that simple, but go ahead.

988
01:18:51.600 --> 01:18:56.239
Well that's what they told us.
So on February first, they said that

989
01:18:56.359 --> 01:18:59.840
the property would revert back to us
if they're not there. Also, they

990
01:19:00.119 --> 01:19:01.479
ran it down to there. Do
you know what he's talking about, Brad,

991
01:19:01.800 --> 01:19:04.680
as far as just it automatically reverts
back. I mean, what is

992
01:19:04.760 --> 01:19:08.560
he talking about? Do you know
if you sue something for a complaint for

993
01:19:08.920 --> 01:19:11.600
eviction in court and you get a
default judgment, okay, you win.

994
01:19:12.119 --> 01:19:14.319
But okay, I don't think that's
what he's talking about. What are you

995
01:19:14.479 --> 01:19:17.520
talking about? What? Wait?
First, Steve, listen to the process,

996
01:19:19.199 --> 01:19:23.319
Brad. So many people think they
know the process. I don't know

997
01:19:23.399 --> 01:19:26.800
the process, and you've told us
several times. So first, you put

998
01:19:26.840 --> 01:19:30.760
a notice up right right when the
right when the rent is late, you

999
01:19:30.800 --> 01:19:33.920
put up a ten day notice.
Now that this new law has changed that

1000
01:19:34.199 --> 01:19:36.680
you can't just post a notice.
You have to actually have to go there.

1001
01:19:36.800 --> 01:19:40.439
Before you post, you have to
try to serve them personally on two

1002
01:19:40.439 --> 01:19:44.159
different occasions, and then on two
different dates when you haven't been able to

1003
01:19:44.199 --> 01:19:46.159
find them, then you can post. Okay, so you try to serve

1004
01:19:46.239 --> 01:19:49.359
them twice. Yeah, that's brand
new, and then put up a notice.

1005
01:19:49.439 --> 01:19:53.680
Yep. Oh then why Another new
new requirement with this new law two

1006
01:19:53.680 --> 01:19:58.560
weeks ago is if you know that
their primary language is something else like Polish,

1007
01:19:58.640 --> 01:20:00.199
you got to serve them in that
language. Okay, all right,

1008
01:20:00.560 --> 01:20:04.600
so you serve twice, attempt to
serve twice, right, and then what

1009
01:20:04.880 --> 01:20:08.800
after the ten days is up and
they haven't paid, then you can file

1010
01:20:08.840 --> 01:20:14.279
your court complaint for eviction. So
you serve, you to serve twice and

1011
01:20:14.399 --> 01:20:16.920
then you and then you can post. And when you post, is it

1012
01:20:17.039 --> 01:20:19.760
a three day No, it's a
ten day notice? Oh it's ten days?

1013
01:20:20.199 --> 01:20:23.520
What is this three day we always
hear about? Oh that's commercial?

1014
01:20:24.439 --> 01:20:28.600
Okay, oh really, so two
times? Then you can post a ten

1015
01:20:28.720 --> 01:20:31.199
day notice. And when you post
that ten day notice, what is it

1016
01:20:31.359 --> 01:20:35.279
asking for to pay the rent?
That's not what If you just want to

1017
01:20:35.319 --> 01:20:40.840
get rid of them after that,
you can't just say get out. You

1018
01:20:41.000 --> 01:20:43.760
have you have to give them a
right to cure. Yes, they do

1019
01:20:43.840 --> 01:20:45.800
have a right to cure. They
can pay them the amount to cure,

1020
01:20:45.880 --> 01:20:48.880
all the way up until the moment
the judge enters in order for possession in

1021
01:20:48.960 --> 01:20:54.159
that court case you're about to bring. Okay, which is so the ten

1022
01:20:54.239 --> 01:20:59.119
day notice is with a right to
cure. That's right, okay, So

1023
01:20:59.399 --> 01:21:01.840
there's no which thing is just get
out? Okay. So now then you

1024
01:21:01.960 --> 01:21:05.119
give the right to cure, they
don't do it in ten days, then

1025
01:21:05.199 --> 01:21:08.399
what do you do. Do they
have to leave on the eleventh day?

1026
01:21:08.439 --> 01:21:10.600
What do you do? No,
they don't have to leave until the sheriff

1027
01:21:10.600 --> 01:21:13.199
actually shows us. No, So
what do you do as a landlord on

1028
01:21:13.319 --> 01:21:15.159
the tenth day? You on the
on the eleventh day, you can file

1029
01:21:15.199 --> 01:21:18.840
your court complaint for eviction. And
when you file a court complaint, they

1030
01:21:18.960 --> 01:21:24.199
set a hearing right normally seven to
fourteen days out. So then you wait

1031
01:21:24.279 --> 01:21:28.399
another seven to fourteen days. On
eleventh day you set for hearing, okay,

1032
01:21:28.880 --> 01:21:31.600
and then that can take how long
have you heard it take? Well,

1033
01:21:31.640 --> 01:21:34.800
that's not the hearing, that's just
the answer deadline you set for what

1034
01:21:35.359 --> 01:21:39.359
wait? So on the eleventh what
are you on the eleventh day. You

1035
01:21:39.439 --> 01:21:42.000
don't set it for hearing. The
eleventh day is when you file your court

1036
01:21:42.039 --> 01:21:44.960
complaint, and when you file that
court complaint and you issue a summons,

1037
01:21:45.039 --> 01:21:47.920
the summons is for one to two
weeks out from there. That one to

1038
01:21:47.960 --> 01:21:50.800
two weeks out is the answer deadline. If they show up on that ouse,

1039
01:21:50.920 --> 01:21:55.239
now they have two weeks to answer
basically, right, And if they

1040
01:21:55.319 --> 01:21:58.119
file an answer and say I want
a trial, is it what twenty one

1041
01:21:58.199 --> 01:22:00.720
days or two weeks? It's seven
fourteen days? Okay, two weeks to

1042
01:22:00.800 --> 01:22:08.560
answer? Then what then if they
final an answer disputing the reason for eviction,

1043
01:22:08.880 --> 01:22:13.680
then they'll get a hearing a trial
on the possession about two weeks after

1044
01:22:13.760 --> 01:22:18.840
that. Okay, what if they
don't dispute, then the court would they're

1045
01:22:18.840 --> 01:22:21.439
still a hearing? Right? No, they if they don't file an answer

1046
01:22:21.560 --> 01:22:26.720
or if they just confess to them, what do they normally what do people

1047
01:22:26.800 --> 01:22:30.640
normally do? Well? I would
say most cases, if there's not an

1048
01:22:30.640 --> 01:22:32.800
answer, file, then the court
gives a default judgment for the landlord for

1049
01:22:32.920 --> 01:22:38.199
possession. Okay, if they don't
answer, a default judgment. But if

1050
01:22:38.239 --> 01:22:41.039
they do answer, what are some
of the answers the judge would look at.

1051
01:22:41.560 --> 01:22:44.680
Oh, a big one recently is
oh, there's a reach of the

1052
01:22:44.720 --> 01:22:47.079
warranty of habitability because there's no heat, okay or something like that. So

1053
01:22:48.119 --> 01:22:55.359
or they can answer, and they
can say or they can answer anything basically

1054
01:22:55.520 --> 01:22:59.359
right, right, some excuse for
not paying the rent okay. And when

1055
01:22:59.399 --> 01:23:02.000
they answer an excuse, that's when
a hearing is set. Yes, the

1056
01:23:02.079 --> 01:23:06.600
possession hearing two weeks okay. Then
after the hearing is set or default judgment.

1057
01:23:06.880 --> 01:23:11.640
Let's say hearing is set and they
lose or default judgment, they lose

1058
01:23:11.800 --> 01:23:18.840
either way. What happens after they
lose? Then ten days after that is

1059
01:23:18.880 --> 01:23:21.439
the earliest a landlord can have the
sheriff out there to do the official So

1060
01:23:21.520 --> 01:23:26.600
you have to wait ten days,
right, you wait? Okay, you

1061
01:23:26.680 --> 01:23:30.279
wait another This is unfreaking believe you
wait another ten days and then what do

1062
01:23:30.359 --> 01:23:33.119
you do after it? Another ten
days? That's the earliest date you can

1063
01:23:33.159 --> 01:23:38.279
have the sheriff out there, But
most sheriffs aren't booked up there. If

1064
01:23:38.319 --> 01:23:42.560
you call them their civil Process division
to like actually do a physical eviction,

1065
01:23:42.680 --> 01:23:45.600
they open the calendar and say,
okay, we can there must it be

1066
01:23:45.680 --> 01:23:47.359
a shriffer. Can you hire private
pi it has to be the sheriff,

1067
01:23:47.600 --> 01:23:51.359
And so it could be four weeks
after not instead of two to get the

1068
01:23:51.399 --> 01:23:55.000
sheriff out there. And then when
the sheriff is present, they don't move

1069
01:23:55.079 --> 01:23:57.560
your stuff. You have to hire
movers. No, they don't lift a

1070
01:23:57.640 --> 01:24:00.600
finger. You have to hire a
professional moving company or do it yourself.

1071
01:24:01.039 --> 01:24:03.359
Do it yourself, but you have
to show the sheriff that you have enough

1072
01:24:03.359 --> 01:24:10.119
people there to get it done within
like an hour. Really yeah, now

1073
01:24:10.439 --> 01:24:13.159
how do you like those apples?
Sir? Do you still want to be

1074
01:24:13.239 --> 01:24:16.960
a landlord? Oh no, yeah, that's the last thing I'll ever do

1075
01:24:18.319 --> 01:24:23.880
because we I think Fremont County don't
know what they're doing because anyway, so

1076
01:24:24.000 --> 01:24:29.319
what No, they don't. So
what stages did you go through? Yeah?

1077
01:24:29.399 --> 01:24:31.399
Well we went to the first stage, which was the notice to quip

1078
01:24:32.079 --> 01:24:35.640
and when they said February first with
me the when the property were we revert

1079
01:24:35.680 --> 01:24:39.119
back to us. We went to
that property. They were not there,

1080
01:24:39.680 --> 01:24:44.479
and then their neighbor called them.
They showed up and they had my They

1081
01:24:44.560 --> 01:24:49.640
had me and my and they that
we were a stings as well. So

1082
01:24:50.800 --> 01:24:56.199
yeah, you talk about so where
Are they still in the house. No,

1083
01:24:56.399 --> 01:24:59.119
they're not even there. They're just
having it as a dump place.

1084
01:24:59.359 --> 01:25:02.039
Like there's no there. They're not
they live in Canyon City. They don't

1085
01:25:02.039 --> 01:25:09.720
even wait a minute, but all
of their stuff is there, Yeah,

1086
01:25:09.920 --> 01:25:14.399
all the trash. Yeah. Now, Brad, if it's abandoned, aren't

1087
01:25:14.399 --> 01:25:16.319
there other rules? Well, yes, if it's abandoned, landlord can go

1088
01:25:16.439 --> 01:25:19.319
right in and take possession. But
it's a judgment call. If you get

1089
01:25:19.319 --> 01:25:23.960
it wrong as a landlord, then
you're in trouble for legal eviction if you

1090
01:25:24.600 --> 01:25:29.399
if you call it abandon and you
go in there, do you think they're

1091
01:25:29.439 --> 01:25:33.279
going to sue? Steve? You
know they won't sue. But the thing

1092
01:25:33.479 --> 01:25:40.079
is the Sheriff's office won't believe us. They say timing document from a share

1093
01:25:40.600 --> 01:25:43.560
from a judge, it doesn't exist. I'm like, no, you're wrong,

1094
01:25:43.800 --> 01:25:47.640
Like that's not the case with the
property has been has been abandoned for

1095
01:25:47.960 --> 01:25:51.600
months, by the way, and
they had Okay, you're telling me that

1096
01:25:53.079 --> 01:25:58.039
with the Shriff for Rest you guys, yep, Sheriff for Rest of Us

1097
01:25:58.119 --> 01:26:01.600
said that we were trespassing and that
they try to claim that the sub with

1098
01:26:01.680 --> 01:26:04.880
a bat that was in the back
of our truck was their stuff. I

1099
01:26:04.960 --> 01:26:08.800
was like, no, that first
stuff. No, then just go through

1100
01:26:08.880 --> 01:26:12.640
the eviction, Steve, just go
through the eviction. Yeah, we're going

1101
01:26:12.680 --> 01:26:15.479
to do that. That's what we're
doing. We actually hired a lawyer this

1102
01:26:15.640 --> 01:26:18.399
time, but I walk out on
a nightmare the lawyers. So you have

1103
01:26:18.520 --> 01:26:23.560
to attempt to serve two times,
then listen to this, attempt to serve

1104
01:26:23.640 --> 01:26:26.479
two times, then give a ten
day notice. On the eleventh day,

1105
01:26:26.840 --> 01:26:30.479
file a court complaint. They have
two weeks to answer. If they don't

1106
01:26:30.520 --> 01:26:33.640
answer, you get a default judgment. Then you wait another ten days the

1107
01:26:33.760 --> 01:26:36.520
earliest. You're gonna have the sheriff
present if you can get them there,

1108
01:26:36.920 --> 01:26:40.279
and then you have to hire enough
people to get done in an hour.

1109
01:26:40.399 --> 01:26:43.640
Did I summarize that pretty well?
Now, if they don't get a default

1110
01:26:43.680 --> 01:26:46.920
judgment and they get they send an
answer with an excuse, then a hearing

1111
01:26:47.039 --> 01:26:50.279
is set and the same thing goes
on. So so this is crazy.

1112
01:26:50.359 --> 01:26:53.680

sorry, we got to take this break

thank you for taking my call. It's

1127
01:28:02.199 --> 01:28:05.479
an honor to speak with you,
and thank you for you know, covering

1128
01:28:05.560 --> 01:28:11.800
this very important topic here today.
I just wanted to give you a kind

1129
01:28:11.840 --> 01:28:15.600
of a theoretical situation. When I
was thinking about this, because I knew

1130
01:28:15.840 --> 01:28:20.560
a number of individuals that I had
attended school with when I was younger that

1131
01:28:20.680 --> 01:28:26.720
had developmental disabilities. And the point
I wanted to kind of raise is for

1132
01:28:26.960 --> 01:28:32.039
people that may have you know,
mental illness, developmental disabilities, that could

1133
01:28:32.199 --> 01:28:38.199
be say, living in a supported
apartment and that tenant for whatever reason,

1134
01:28:38.319 --> 01:28:43.439
has a contract to provide for them
a supported apartment and for whatever reason they

1135
01:28:43.479 --> 01:28:46.520
want to go a different direction.
They accused them of doing something, you

1136
01:28:46.600 --> 01:28:50.359
know, breaking something, whatever,
And if it's a false accusation, those

1137
01:28:50.520 --> 01:28:55.520
people with you know, mental illness, develop mental disabilities wouldn't really have the

1138
01:28:55.600 --> 01:29:00.359
ability to go to court and defend
themselves. So what protections would they have

1139
01:29:00.760 --> 01:29:03.800
you know in this in this situation, you mean people who are accused of

1140
01:29:04.000 --> 01:29:10.560
something and can't defend themselves exact because
they don't have the mental capability or they

1141
01:29:10.800 --> 01:29:15.760
have a mental illness. But what
what provisions or what laid out in this

1142
01:29:15.880 --> 01:29:18.760
bill for well, you know,
that's a good question. You would assume

1143
01:29:18.840 --> 01:29:25.760
they would know enough to maybe call
help or not, right, But if

1144
01:29:25.800 --> 01:29:31.079
the landlord is trying to push them
out under you know, whatever contrive circumstances,

1145
01:29:31.760 --> 01:29:35.880
I think that people would develop mental
disabilities or mental illness of course,

1146
01:29:36.439 --> 01:29:45.319
but people with developmental disabilities or even
language barriers or certain problems are always taking

1147
01:29:45.359 --> 01:29:49.680
advantage of in everything they do,
so they would have Here's what I would

1148
01:29:49.680 --> 01:29:54.239
say, they have to have someone
looking after them, and most likely they

1149
01:29:54.239 --> 01:29:57.359
would have a guardian maybe. If
not, I mean, if they do,

1150
01:29:58.000 --> 01:30:00.840
then then these people would act on
their behal or an attorney or legal

1151
01:30:00.880 --> 01:30:04.960
aid or something like that, if
someone is truly being taken advantage of.

1152
01:30:05.600 --> 01:30:10.279
But you would hope, well,
there's no Here's let me put it to

1153
01:30:10.279 --> 01:30:15.199
you this way. I think if
a guy goes to a hearing and he's

1154
01:30:15.479 --> 01:30:16.880
well, he may not even show
up for a hearing. Those what you're

1155
01:30:16.920 --> 01:30:20.079
saying, I don't know what happens
if he doesn't know what his rights are

1156
01:30:20.239 --> 01:30:23.680
or she doesn't know what her rights
are. They don't know what their rights

1157
01:30:23.720 --> 01:30:27.760
are, and the clock ticks,
they're going to be evicted. That's that's

1158
01:30:27.840 --> 01:30:30.000
the simple answer. Does anyone stick
up for them? Not if they don't

1159
01:30:30.079 --> 01:30:33.680
know it. No, No,
there's no one. I mean, there's

1160
01:30:33.760 --> 01:30:40.039
no guardian angel that says stop picking
on this guy. There's nothing automatic,

1161
01:30:40.399 --> 01:30:43.840
And how could there be if you
think about it, how could there be

1162
01:30:44.439 --> 01:30:47.319
if somebody is developmentally disabled. Well, first of all, if they're that

1163
01:30:47.520 --> 01:30:51.239
disabled, they can't sign a lease, so somebody must have done it for

1164
01:30:51.439 --> 01:30:55.760
them, and that's somebody who's the
one that has to be served. I

1165
01:30:56.159 --> 01:31:00.800
don't see what you're saying happening.
Okay, I don't see it happening,

1166
01:31:00.880 --> 01:31:04.880
because the landlord wouldn't be dealing with
them on a legal basis. Brad,

1167
01:31:05.279 --> 01:31:10.279
Maybe I'm missing something, but really, if someone is that disabled but they

1168
01:31:10.319 --> 01:31:13.520
don't understand what's going on, they
don't know their rights, you have to

1169
01:31:13.640 --> 01:31:16.920
assume the landlord did not deal with
them. Yeah, a disabled person is

1170
01:31:16.960 --> 01:31:20.640
allowed to have their own attorney in
court, and it's probably a relative or

1171
01:31:20.720 --> 01:31:24.720
a friend out there who helped them
get in this situation. Boss, help

1172
01:31:24.760 --> 01:31:28.000
them get that attorney. Now,
if they're not this disabled, then they

1173
01:31:28.119 --> 01:31:31.760
know enough to call for help.
And if they're if they're even less disabled,

1174
01:31:31.840 --> 01:31:35.159
they can speak for themselves. I
mean, you're I know what you're

1175
01:31:35.199 --> 01:31:42.960
doing. You're painting a picture here
that may not even exist. I don't

1176
01:31:43.079 --> 01:31:45.319
I don't know what else to say. I mean, it may not even

1177
01:31:45.399 --> 01:31:50.199

eight two five five Now, Kathy, Sorry you had to wait there a

1187
01:32:43.199 --> 01:32:47.760
little while. What's going on?
Kathy? Okay? I love Bob from

1188
01:32:47.880 --> 01:32:51.720
elim Landscaping. He was just here
at my house. Now did you call

1189
01:32:51.800 --> 01:32:56.439
the other day? Did you go
ealth and what needed to be done?

1190
01:32:57.039 --> 01:32:59.720
Yeah? Did you call the other
day? Is that what you're calling about?

1191
01:32:59.760 --> 01:33:03.439
Kath Man show? Yeah, what
did you call about? I'm trying

1192
01:33:03.479 --> 01:33:09.520
to remember what you called about umberwells
that were flooding during rain. Oh,

1193
01:33:09.680 --> 01:33:13.520
that's right. You were saying that
the window wells kept filling up, and

1194
01:33:13.640 --> 01:33:17.319
you didn't know why they weren't draining. What did Bob do? Bob looked

1195
01:33:17.319 --> 01:33:20.399
at him. He went out and
dug into the dirt and stuff like that.

1196
01:33:20.560 --> 01:33:24.000
He told me what to do.
He said, you've got like an

1197
01:33:24.039 --> 01:33:26.800
inch of rock. He said,
you should have a foot of rock in

1198
01:33:26.920 --> 01:33:30.600
there. He gave me a price
of what his company would do it for,

1199
01:33:30.880 --> 01:33:32.640
but he also said, I want
to save you money. He said,

1200
01:33:32.720 --> 01:33:38.680
you've got two teenage grandsons. He
said, get him over here and

1201
01:33:38.840 --> 01:33:42.479
have them dig it out. About
it a foot, put the rock in

1202
01:33:42.600 --> 01:33:45.239
there, and then he's going to
send me a picture of a drain thing

1203
01:33:45.359 --> 01:33:49.760
that I can put in there that's
electric that I can turn on during things.

1204
01:33:50.359 --> 01:33:53.960
Now, he'll come out. If
my grandsons won't do the digging,

1205
01:33:54.039 --> 01:33:58.560
he'll come out and do it.
But he said, get them to do

1206
01:33:58.680 --> 01:34:01.039
it, save yourself some money.
That's you know what. Isn't that cool

1207
01:34:01.119 --> 01:34:03.920
to have somebody you can trust like
that? And he did this all free

1208
01:34:03.960 --> 01:34:08.680
of charge. And that's Bob at
l em Landscaping. You know, thank

1209
01:34:08.720 --> 01:34:11.439
you for calling us back on that. Cathy, have really appreciate it.

1210
01:34:12.119 --> 01:34:14.479
Thank you. Talked about his wife
if he would have been single. I

1211
01:34:14.560 --> 01:34:18.840
probably would have asked him out,
Kathy, thank you very much. Yeah,

1212
01:34:18.880 --> 01:34:28.439
he's a good guy. Okay,
now, Heather, Okay, Heather,

1213
01:34:28.560 --> 01:34:39.640
I remember Heather. Now that guy
Heather Heatherby. I hope he wrecked

1214
01:34:39.720 --> 01:34:45.600
that put. Okay, yeah,
Dragon, did you get that all right?

1215
01:34:45.640 --> 01:34:49.920
Thanks? She didn't realize we had
her up. I don't know why

1216
01:34:50.000 --> 01:34:54.960
she's calling back because I told you, man, she got in my opinion,

1217
01:34:55.079 --> 01:34:59.439
she got ripped off here. But
I'm trying to find that email,

1218
01:34:59.520 --> 01:35:01.199
Kachino. Why is she calling back
anyway? I thought we talked to her

1219
01:35:01.239 --> 01:35:03.960
about it. Didn't we did?
She never got back on the air.

1220
01:35:04.319 --> 01:35:10.000
She no, she you told her
the last time to go and get uh

1221
01:35:11.199 --> 01:35:15.319
the paperwork from I saw the paperwork, but then I thought we had her

1222
01:35:15.359 --> 01:35:17.159
on. Since then, let me
look, I don't think so okay,

1223
01:35:17.359 --> 01:35:21.279
damn it. I thought we had
that paperwork, and because I looked at

1224
01:35:21.359 --> 01:35:26.960
everything she bought, and god almighty, did she have a lot of unnecessary

1225
01:35:27.119 --> 01:35:30.680
crap she bought, and I,
oh, no, I know what.

1226
01:35:30.880 --> 01:35:34.800
I thought. We gave her somebody
that would work with her. I told

1227
01:35:34.840 --> 01:35:39.399
her to call over there. Hold
on, let me find her. Damn

1228
01:35:39.520 --> 01:35:45.680
call. I'm cold. I thought
for sure we had. I said for

1229
01:35:45.840 --> 01:35:48.079
somebody to call and try to get
some of this stuff canceled for her.

1230
01:35:49.000 --> 01:35:55.159
Let me look at this again.
No, that's not it. Dog gone

1231
01:35:55.239 --> 01:35:58.680
it now? Oga? Well,
she said last night should be at the

1232
01:35:58.760 --> 01:36:02.359
top of your inbox. No,
I got it. I told her that

1233
01:36:02.600 --> 01:36:06.239
she needed to call the guy and
say, look, I was told you're

1234
01:36:06.279 --> 01:36:10.880
wrong and I can cancel this stuff. That's what it was. So did

1235
01:36:10.960 --> 01:36:15.720
she hang up? I'm not sure
what happened to her. Hopefully she's gonna

1236
01:36:15.760 --> 01:36:18.680
come her mind. Okay, but
here's the deal, Heather, if you're

1237
01:36:18.720 --> 01:36:24.359
listening, I told you to go
to the FNI guy and tell him there's

1238
01:36:24.439 --> 01:36:28.479
not one thing on air that can't
be canceled and pro rated. He said

1239
01:36:29.439 --> 01:36:31.800
he was not allowed or you're not
allowed to cancel it. He's a liar,

1240
01:36:33.279 --> 01:36:36.720
And I'm telling you if that's what
he told you, he's a liar.

1241
01:36:36.840 --> 01:36:43.399
She called back, Heather, Heather, did you go back to the

1242
01:36:43.600 --> 01:36:47.239
FNI guy after I told you that
you could cancel a lot of this stuff?

1243
01:36:48.079 --> 01:36:53.680
Sure? What happened to her?
Hopefully? Okay, all right,

1244
01:36:53.760 --> 01:36:56.199
forget it, man, I'm not
doing this anymore. I'm not doing it.

1245
01:36:56.399 --> 01:36:58.720
Forget it. Get her off right
now. I'm not doing it.

1246
01:36:58.840 --> 01:37:00.840
Every time I go to her,
she's on somewhere else. Randy, your

1247
01:37:00.960 --> 01:37:03.720
turn, Randy. What's going on? Sorry, Heather, you're gonna have

1248
01:37:03.760 --> 01:37:09.840
to call somebody else. Randy,
what's going on? Well, I purchased

1249
01:37:09.880 --> 01:37:13.199
a car from a very good friend
of mine that I've known for as long

1250
01:37:13.279 --> 01:37:18.920
as I can remember, and I'm
going to sell the car, okay,

1251
01:37:20.159 --> 01:37:25.399
And when I pulled the car facts
report up on it, the car fact

1252
01:37:25.479 --> 01:37:30.920
report said it had been in a
severe accident. Okay, Now, how

1253
01:37:30.000 --> 01:37:34.399
long have you owned it? For
a couple of days? Oh wait,

1254
01:37:34.439 --> 01:37:38.960
wait wait, you bought it to
sell it in a couple of days.

1255
01:37:40.319 --> 01:37:43.720
No, I bought it a couple
of days ago. I'm referving it,

1256
01:37:43.880 --> 01:37:47.239
cleaning it up, getting okay.
Why, I just was curious why you

1257
01:37:47.560 --> 01:37:54.359
were pulling a car fax after you
bought it. Well, actually I pulled

1258
01:37:54.399 --> 01:37:59.039
the car facts before I bought it, and I should have told you that

1259
01:38:00.239 --> 01:38:05.479
the carfax said that it had been
in a severe accident. Okay, then

1260
01:38:05.520 --> 01:38:13.039
why did you buy it? Well? Hold on, it said no airbaggers

1261
01:38:13.079 --> 01:38:17.960
were deployed. I've known this friend
of mine for a long time, and

1262
01:38:19.199 --> 01:38:25.000
he assured me that the vehicle has
never been in any accident whatsoever. He's

1263
01:38:25.079 --> 01:38:29.199
owned it since it was brand new. Okay, got it? Got it?

1264
01:38:29.439 --> 01:38:30.720
So you bought it? Like,
yeah, I bought it, and

1265
01:38:30.960 --> 01:38:33.520
I'm happy with it. I know
it's never been in an accident. I

1266
01:38:33.560 --> 01:38:39.159
can look underneath. I okay,
how but because that shows up on the

1267
01:38:39.279 --> 01:38:43.760
car facts, it causes the value
of the car to go down. Now

1268
01:38:44.199 --> 01:38:49.119
I pulled other reporting agencies reports on
that car to do similar things to Carfax.

1269
01:38:49.239 --> 01:38:54.039
It said there was no accident,
but Carfax says there was. And

1270
01:38:54.159 --> 01:38:59.960
my question is, how do I
dispute something like that? Okay, possible

1271
01:39:00.199 --> 01:39:08.239
to get that off of a comnen
Yes it is. Now it's a long

1272
01:39:08.560 --> 01:39:14.880
it's a long process and they don't
like changing things. So really, what

1273
01:39:15.039 --> 01:39:20.800
you have to do is you have
to identify the error occumentation supporting. I

1274
01:39:20.840 --> 01:39:25.319
don't know how you prove a negative, see, but you have to documentation.

1275
01:39:26.319 --> 01:39:29.079
I looked at the carfaxt's website and
said, I have to give them

1276
01:39:29.119 --> 01:39:31.880
a report from a body shop.
It's never been in a body shop.

1277
01:39:32.479 --> 01:39:36.640
I know what they mean is you
have to get it checked. Now,

1278
01:39:38.359 --> 01:39:42.800
and have a body shop say it's
never been in an accident, and then

1279
01:39:42.880 --> 01:39:47.239
you submit it to car Facts.
It's called the data research request, and

1280
01:39:47.520 --> 01:39:51.960
then you wait for their response.
Now here's the problem, man, it's

1281
01:39:53.039 --> 01:39:58.640
a pain in the ass. Now
you can't do it unless you're the owner.

1282
01:39:58.760 --> 01:40:00.279
You're the owner now, so you
can. Yes, you can get

1283
01:40:00.279 --> 01:40:04.600
it. But are you concerns because
when you go to sell it, it's

1284
01:40:04.640 --> 01:40:10.920
going to show up. Yeah.
Okay, Well but you've given me an

1285
01:40:10.960 --> 01:40:15.279
idea. You've you've given me an
idea that if I go to a body

1286
01:40:15.319 --> 01:40:17.600
shop and have a body shop document
it's never been an accident, I can

1287
01:40:17.720 --> 01:40:21.720
offer that as proof to uh,
well, that's what they That's the only

1288
01:40:21.800 --> 01:40:27.880
thing they accept is a professional's opinion. Okay, But even if I don't

1289
01:40:27.920 --> 01:40:31.439
get the carfax change, I could
show the particular perspective buyer that it's never

1290
01:40:31.520 --> 01:40:35.359
been in Well, of course,
but the carfax look at. Carfax has

1291
01:40:35.439 --> 01:40:40.880
no reason to want to screw you
you, okay, out of a car,

1292
01:40:41.119 --> 01:40:44.960
so they want to be accurate.
I do know that they don't want

1293
01:40:45.000 --> 01:40:48.239
to cause people pain. So once
you get that report, another thing you

1294
01:40:48.319 --> 01:40:54.520
can do is use the other reports
as evidence. As well, Great,

1295
01:40:54.880 --> 01:40:58.600
yeah, that's that's what I thought. Okay, and then submit it,

1296
01:40:59.239 --> 01:41:00.800
so don't let's and a lot of
people say, oh, well, they're

1297
01:41:00.880 --> 01:41:04.199
never gonna change it, but they
do, so just try it, Randy

1298
01:41:04.239 --> 01:41:08.479

Just the word on that on Heather. I looked at her problem. I'm

1313
01:42:15.640 --> 01:42:18.279
looking at her email, and if
she's listening, I mean, I don't

1314
01:42:18.279 --> 01:42:20.159
want to talking to her. But
I gotta tell you this, Heather,

1315
01:42:21.279 --> 01:42:29.439
every single thing they packed onto that
car deal can be undone. See F

1316
01:42:29.520 --> 01:42:33.680
and I people, FNI people,
finance and insurance people. At a dealership,

1317
01:42:34.199 --> 01:42:38.159
what they do is they take a
great deal and they make it a

1318
01:42:38.359 --> 01:42:42.600
terrible deal. Even if you make
a great deal on the car. They

1319
01:42:42.760 --> 01:42:46.920
call it's called packing the deal.
That's what it's call. And when they

1320
01:42:47.039 --> 01:42:50.960
pack the deal, they put all
kinds of stuff on your car. First

1321
01:42:51.000 --> 01:42:56.039
they start with the mop and glow. I'll get your fabric protected, your

1322
01:42:56.079 --> 01:43:00.239
paint protected, this protected, that
protecting. Nowadays, cars with clear couch

1323
01:43:00.279 --> 01:43:04.600
they don't need protection. They don't. Here's another thing. Your fabric doesn't

1324
01:43:04.600 --> 01:43:08.800
need protecting either, No more than
you can do on your own with a

1325
01:43:08.840 --> 01:43:14.479
spray can of Scotch guard. It's
all a bunch of crap. Then let's

1326
01:43:14.520 --> 01:43:18.279
go to windshield etching. You don't
need it. For theft. Nobody's going

1327
01:43:18.319 --> 01:43:21.319
to find your car. Forget it, forget LoJack, forget any of it.

1328
01:43:21.960 --> 01:43:26.119
Okay, you don't need it.
You can buy aftermarket solutions on your

1329
01:43:26.119 --> 01:43:32.920
own cheaper. And this crap about
windshield they're starting to sell windshield coverage,

1330
01:43:33.439 --> 01:43:39.640
telling you that you can get your
windshields covered first and foremost. You can

1331
01:43:39.720 --> 01:43:43.319
get that free next to free for
a few bucks a month on your car

1332
01:43:43.399 --> 01:43:46.159
insurance. You don't need the dealer
to do it. The dealer limits you

1333
01:43:46.880 --> 01:43:49.720
now. They say it's a great
plan. You're going to get windshields for

1334
01:43:49.840 --> 01:43:54.319
life. You know you don't.
First of all, it's the vehicle's life

1335
01:43:54.479 --> 01:43:58.439
if you keep it the whole time
you have the loan, or the life

1336
01:43:58.680 --> 01:44:03.319
of how long you own it.
Right now, here's the deal. Windshield

1337
01:44:03.399 --> 01:44:08.600
protection is stupid, and it caps
at five grand, so that could be

1338
01:44:08.680 --> 01:44:13.439
two windshields on some cars maybe three, and some of them even if they

1339
01:44:13.520 --> 01:44:16.840
cap higher, you're limited. It's
not unlimited, whereas your insurance is unlimited

1340
01:44:17.479 --> 01:44:21.479
and doesn't cost you but a few
bucks a month. So that's another pack

1341
01:44:21.600 --> 01:44:27.680
that's crazy. Now, the only
pack I agree on, the only one,

1342
01:44:28.920 --> 01:44:34.560
the only extra thing I would buy
on a car is pre paid maintenance

1343
01:44:34.920 --> 01:44:41.079
where you actually get something and it's
pre paid and you pay today's dollars for

1344
01:44:41.239 --> 01:44:45.359
something tomorrow. Everything else all the
service of all the warranties. Forget them,

1345
01:44:45.520 --> 01:44:48.880
do not do them, You do
not need them. Extended warranties aren't

1346
01:44:48.920 --> 01:44:53.479
extended on a new car. They're
concurrent with the one you have. More

1361
01:46:15.960 --> 01:46:20.079
coming in three O three seven one
three eight two five five. So Brad

1362
01:46:20.079 --> 01:46:24.640
O'Brien is with us from O'Brien Legal
Services. Now we talked about a couple

1363
01:46:24.760 --> 01:46:28.800
new things happening over three. Two
things happening with tenant landlord. The one

1364
01:46:28.880 --> 01:46:31.399
that's not such a big deal,
but unrelated parties can live together. You

1365
01:46:31.479 --> 01:46:35.000
can't limit them. You can't limit
them to two unrelated, three unrelated four

1366
01:46:35.039 --> 01:46:39.079
and related five unrelate. Is many
people that want to live together can live

1367
01:46:39.159 --> 01:46:43.000
together. Now, obviously, you
know there might be health concerns, bathrooms

1368
01:46:43.000 --> 01:46:45.560
and all that, but really the
bottom line is as a landlord, you

1369
01:46:45.640 --> 01:46:49.039
have no control over who lives there. If they get on the lease.

1370
01:46:49.359 --> 01:46:53.600
You can make them all get on
the lease, the adults, but they

1371
01:46:53.680 --> 01:47:00.680
can live there. The next thing
we're talking about is the just cause law,

1372
01:47:00.760 --> 01:47:04.399
which says that you can't just end
the lease for no reason. You

1373
01:47:04.520 --> 01:47:09.079
have to have just just cause is
outlined in the lease, but not all

1374
01:47:09.159 --> 01:47:13.000
of it is spelled out specifically.
And Brad, you feel that's going to

1375
01:47:13.039 --> 01:47:17.279
cause a lot of litigation because if
someone just disputes it, the landlord has

1376
01:47:17.319 --> 01:47:20.960
to go to court not to renew. Right If the landlord says you've been

1377
01:47:20.960 --> 01:47:24.439
a nuisance, so I'm not going
to renew, they say prove it.

1378
01:47:24.760 --> 01:47:27.520
That's right. So I mean think
about that. You can't just say I

1379
01:47:27.560 --> 01:47:30.600
don't like you, or people are
complaining neighbors don't like the noise, this

1380
01:47:30.800 --> 01:47:34.560
or whatever. You have to have
proof and it could end up in court.

1381
01:47:35.920 --> 01:47:40.479
And a tenant can just represent themselves
in that never happened. You don't

1382
01:47:40.479 --> 01:47:43.479
get witnesses of their own. It
can cost you a lot of money.

1383
01:47:43.520 --> 01:47:46.000
The next thing we wanted to talk
about, because this one could be fairly

1384
01:47:46.079 --> 01:47:51.479
big, the one about the habitability. Explain that, well, I've heard

1385
01:47:51.520 --> 01:47:56.439
that the governor is probably going to
sign the habitability one this week, the

1386
01:47:56.520 --> 01:48:01.159
bill that increases the habitability sections for
tenants even higher than where they aren't.

1387
01:48:01.199 --> 01:48:05.680
Explain what that means. So right
now, if right now, people that

1388
01:48:05.800 --> 01:48:12.399
don't pay rent, sometimes they they
say it's because of a good reason,

1389
01:48:12.520 --> 01:48:15.600
right Yeah, Colorado has a warranty
of habitability for residential so no heat,

1390
01:48:15.680 --> 01:48:17.680
no water, and no electricity.
If you don't have that, are you

1391
01:48:17.760 --> 01:48:23.000
allowed to withhold rent? Uh?
If you Yes, but only if you

1392
01:48:23.039 --> 01:48:26.760
followed the right steps to give landlord
notice opportunity to cure it. Well most

1393
01:48:26.800 --> 01:48:29.840
of the time, though, it'll
get you past an eviction even if you

1394
01:48:29.920 --> 01:48:32.239
didn't follow the right steps. Yeah. Well, just just the tenant claiming

1395
01:48:32.319 --> 01:48:35.880
a breach of warranty habitability buys several
weeks, if not months in the courts,

1396
01:48:36.479 --> 01:48:40.319
and during that whole time they're not
They cann't get away with not paying

1397
01:48:40.359 --> 01:48:44.840
rent. Wow, but now,
what's what's changed this week? If the

1398
01:48:44.920 --> 01:48:49.399
if the governor signs it is increases
the the landlord's burden of proof. They

1399
01:48:49.479 --> 01:48:54.760
have to Now the landlord has to
disprove the assumption that there is a breach

1400
01:48:54.800 --> 01:48:57.840
of the warranty of habitability and they
have to disprove it. How do you

1401
01:48:58.000 --> 01:49:01.279
disprove it? Well? With now
the with clear and convincing evidence, which

1402
01:49:01.319 --> 01:49:08.680
is a much higher standard of proof
that than was previously required preponderance? And

1403
01:49:08.760 --> 01:49:12.039
what what bill is that called?
This is the I don't have the number

1404
01:49:12.079 --> 01:49:15.880
on but it's warrant, but it's
generally known as warranty. Warranty of habitability,

1405
01:49:16.000 --> 01:49:18.960
is that what you call it?
Yep? And what in general,

1406
01:49:19.640 --> 01:49:25.039
no matter where you're looking at,
what is a warrant of habitability? Well,

1407
01:49:25.079 --> 01:49:30.880
the warranty of habitability statute gives tenants
protections that that their rental premises is

1408
01:49:31.039 --> 01:49:33.920
habitable. So it's got all these
things like heat, electricity, water,

1409
01:49:34.079 --> 01:49:40.560
running water, security, that sort
of thing. And what the statute allows

1410
01:49:40.600 --> 01:49:44.680
the tenant to do is to give
the landlard notice and then the lander statute

1411
01:49:44.720 --> 01:49:48.560
has the time frames from when the
landard has to start investigating the problem and

1412
01:49:48.640 --> 01:49:54.800
starting to fix it. So a
warranty of habitability would cover major stuff,

1413
01:49:54.880 --> 01:49:59.239
right, they don't get nitpicking about
it. What is considered under the law

1414
01:49:59.359 --> 01:50:01.920
to be a breach of that?
No heat would be, no plumbing,

1415
01:50:02.279 --> 01:50:09.159
Yeah, no electricity. I don't
believe that air conditioning is in there now.

1416
01:50:09.239 --> 01:50:14.159
Pests is a big one. Termites
not termites, uh, roaches,

1417
01:50:14.399 --> 01:50:17.560
bed bugs Yeah, that would qualify. So if somebody brings in bed bugs,

1418
01:50:17.640 --> 01:50:20.279
then they can claim they have a
warranty of habitability. Yeah, there's

1419
01:50:20.359 --> 01:50:25.359
no warranting habitability claim for somebody who
causes the damage. Well, yeah,

1420
01:50:25.399 --> 01:50:29.119
but you'd have to prove that what
I'm saying cockroaches could be. Now,

1421
01:50:29.199 --> 01:50:31.039
mold is a big one too.
Mold is a really huge one actually,

1422
01:50:31.239 --> 01:50:35.600
because a lot of a lot of
rentals have have mold from water damage,

1423
01:50:35.680 --> 01:50:41.479
water leaks, and even if it's
not dangerous mold if Yeah, and it's

1424
01:50:41.560 --> 01:50:45.159
tricky because that mold is harder to
cure and fix and remedy. So the

1425
01:50:45.760 --> 01:50:48.039
statute actually gives the landlord more time
to get that fixed, although they're supposed

1426
01:50:48.039 --> 01:50:53.399
to start right away. But people
still while it's being fixed have to pay

1427
01:50:53.439 --> 01:50:58.640
rent. Yes, but the statute
allows for alternative housing at the landlord's expense.

1428
01:50:58.800 --> 01:51:02.079
So the tenant continues to pay the
same rent. But during the remediation,

1429
01:51:02.199 --> 01:51:06.199
the leonards are that's from old remediation
or any of it. So if

1430
01:51:06.319 --> 01:51:09.920
if the tenant has to be out
for like three days and the lander's got

1431
01:51:10.000 --> 01:51:14.000
to buy a hotel for three days, God almighty, I'm telling you it's

1432
01:51:14.199 --> 01:51:16.960
really difficult. Now, again,
we needed to shore up some of this

1433
01:51:17.159 --> 01:51:21.159
for tenants. Brad, Do you
remember years ago? Maybe you don't.

1434
01:51:24.039 --> 01:51:28.159
It basically tenants had no rights.
Yeah, the pendulum duest Wing. I

1435
01:51:28.239 --> 01:51:30.800
mean I didn't like it. Then. I used to get calls from people

1436
01:51:30.800 --> 01:51:33.800
and I felt sorry for them.
I mean I really felt sorry for them

1437
01:51:34.119 --> 01:51:38.399
because there was nothing they could do. In fact, there was no warrant

1438
01:51:38.439 --> 01:51:43.479
of habitability. Warranty of habitability right, that was only recently in recent years.

1439
01:51:43.760 --> 01:51:46.520
Yeah, like it could be the
biggest dump in the world and the

1440
01:51:46.640 --> 01:51:51.159
landlord did not have a duty to
make it better, right, and the

1441
01:51:51.640 --> 01:51:56.119
unless it was in the least that
the lendlord had that duty. Okay,

1442
01:51:56.239 --> 01:52:00.720
Stephanie, welcome to the show.
I'm Tom Martine. What's going on,

1443
01:52:00.840 --> 01:52:03.720
Stephanie. So I actually just I
talked to you a little bit ago.

1444
01:52:03.760 --> 01:52:08.800
I was calling back because I found
that I was calling about the Yukon.

1445
01:52:09.279 --> 01:52:15.479
I found the letter, so the
letter from the Now, by the way,

1446
01:52:15.560 --> 01:52:18.399
let me tell people what you're calling
about. So you had called about

1447
01:52:18.760 --> 01:52:23.079
a car that you bought out of
state and a guy drove it here.

1448
01:52:23.159 --> 01:52:28.960
They heard some rattling and it's a
diesel and you had it checked out here

1449
01:52:29.079 --> 01:52:31.520
by AutoNation. They said it was
leaking oil and they had to steal a

1450
01:52:31.520 --> 01:52:36.000
whole engine, and you said they're
doing a good job. But you're having

1451
01:52:36.039 --> 01:52:43.079
nothing but trouble with this right.
And then you went through you already went

1452
01:52:43.119 --> 01:52:45.760
through the you lost use of this
car for forty five days. And of

1453
01:52:45.840 --> 01:52:48.600
course the lemon law in Utah,
you say, mirrors Colorado's, which is

1454
01:52:48.640 --> 01:52:53.920
that they can't fix the same exact
problem on the fourth try. It's deemed

1455
01:52:53.920 --> 01:52:58.159
a lemon. That doesn't mean it's
automatically that they have to do something,

1456
01:52:58.199 --> 01:53:01.960
but it gives you an affirmative definition
of a lemon. And then also if

1457
01:53:01.960 --> 01:53:06.239
you lose use of the car for
forty five days, and you did during

1458
01:53:06.319 --> 01:53:14.479
the first year, and yet when
you filed in Utah under the with the

1459
01:53:14.520 --> 01:53:17.600
Better Business Bureau, I believe it's
called the autocap program. But as part

1460
01:53:17.640 --> 01:53:21.479
of the lemon law, you have
to go through this arbitration. You said

1461
01:53:21.560 --> 01:53:26.560
you lost. Basically they said it
was not a breach and it was not

1462
01:53:26.680 --> 01:53:30.479
a lemon. Therefore you lost.
But my question was, did you give

1463
01:53:30.560 --> 01:53:38.039
up your right to sue? Sometimes
arbitration makes you sign something saying you know

1464
01:53:38.239 --> 01:53:42.520
this is going to be the final
thing. In other cases you can sue

1465
01:53:42.680 --> 01:53:46.720
even after arbitration, like for example, with a homeowner's claim with their insurance

1466
01:53:46.800 --> 01:53:51.039
company. If they go into what's
called the appraisal process and then arbitration,

1467
01:53:53.439 --> 01:53:57.880
they can still sue. So what
about you, What did you sign?

1468
01:54:00.119 --> 01:54:04.960
We didn't sign anything, but I
found in my email, so they made

1469
01:54:05.000 --> 01:54:10.600
the decision. The decision was that
they weren't going to find it that it

1470
01:54:10.760 --> 01:54:15.560
was Lemon law related. So what
the email? They said it was not

1471
01:54:15.800 --> 01:54:20.520
a Lemon correct correct, They said
it didn't it didn't qualify or they did

1472
01:54:20.720 --> 01:54:25.039
that. It was basically they weren't
going to do anything. Yeah, I

1473
01:54:25.119 --> 01:54:31.840
guess. So it says that,
let's see, the decision for your case

1474
01:54:31.880 --> 01:54:35.760
has been submitted. You have thirty
days in California and blah blah blah,

1475
01:54:35.800 --> 01:54:41.039
doesn't matter, fourteen days in the
rest of the country to submit the acceptance

1476
01:54:41.079 --> 01:54:46.760
slash rejection form. If you do
not submit a acceptance slash rejection form within

1477
01:54:46.800 --> 01:54:51.680
the applicable time frame, your claim
will be closed out as assumed rejected,

1478
01:54:53.680 --> 01:54:58.399
meaning we didn't fill anything out.
We were trying to figure out what to

1479
01:54:58.479 --> 01:55:01.159
do at the time, so we
didn't fill out a form, so in

1480
01:55:01.279 --> 01:55:06.239
turn, it was closed out and
then assumed that we rejected the claim.

1481
01:55:06.720 --> 01:55:14.399
So we have not signed anything at
this point, but since we didn't respond.

1482
01:55:14.560 --> 01:55:18.439
Basically, the claim was rejected on
our ends. But but you didn't

1483
01:55:18.479 --> 01:55:24.079
lose your right to sue, So
I have to read more a little bit

1484
01:55:24.119 --> 01:55:27.399
on that. But yeah, I
assumed as of right now with that email,

1485
01:55:27.439 --> 01:55:30.359
and I don't think that we did
lose our right to show him.

1486
01:55:30.399 --> 01:55:34.800
I don't think you did at all. So now it's just trying to figure

1487
01:55:34.840 --> 01:55:40.560
out, Yeah, so you can
you can still show you before, you

1488
01:55:40.680 --> 01:55:47.439
can still sue these people. Yeah, and I'm not sure. I'm not

1489
01:55:47.800 --> 01:55:51.720
sure what you want to do,
but man, I mean at some point

1490
01:55:53.359 --> 01:55:58.600
you might want to do it just
to get their attention, right, I

1491
01:55:58.720 --> 01:56:00.680
think at this point, I I
mean, we love your help with referrals

1492
01:56:00.760 --> 01:56:03.880
as far as who to go to, who to talk to in order to

1493
01:56:04.039 --> 01:56:08.880
sue them, because at this point
it's I mean, it's I'm in fear

1494
01:56:08.960 --> 01:56:12.479
that we're going to get stranded somewhere. Like I told you before, I've

1495
01:56:12.520 --> 01:56:15.880
got three small kids, you know, Like getting stranded on the side of

1496
01:56:15.920 --> 01:56:19.720
the highway by myself is one thing. Yeah, but you're more intse is

1497
01:56:19.840 --> 01:56:26.880
It's not like they're refusing to fix
it, right, It's just a matter

1498
01:56:27.000 --> 01:56:33.000
of when it's I mean, it's
so the whole reason I'm calling is because

1499
01:56:33.119 --> 01:56:38.239
so it's all been fixed. We've
got the car two weeks ago back from

1500
01:56:38.279 --> 01:56:44.199
the shop after the check engine light
came on again. I filled up to

1501
01:56:44.319 --> 01:56:48.119
get diesel yesterday in Castle Rock.
I get on the highway and not even

1502
01:56:49.840 --> 01:56:59.880
two minutes driving, the car starts. It says service transmission and the car

1503
01:57:00.039 --> 01:57:04.479
won't even shift. So I had
to drive all the way home with the

1504
01:57:04.560 --> 01:57:08.479
car not shifting, and it said, I mean there's there's warning lights there.

1505
01:57:08.640 --> 01:57:12.760
The check engine line is back on
again. It's just like, okay,

1506
01:57:12.960 --> 01:57:16.119
we can't get it out of the
shop. Okay. But unfortunately in

1507
01:57:16.239 --> 01:57:19.600
America, yeah, yeah, when
you have well, most places, if

1508
01:57:19.640 --> 01:57:23.600
you have a warranty and they're living
up to the warranty, that's what it

1509
01:57:23.720 --> 01:57:26.119
is. That's why you have a
Lemon law. I disagree, and they're

1510
01:57:26.119 --> 01:57:29.439
finding with the Lemon law. That's
why I'm saying, I believe you could

1511
01:57:29.439 --> 01:57:31.640
sue under the Lemon law. You
know, it doesn't matter if they say

1512
01:57:31.680 --> 01:57:34.720
it wasn't the Lemon Law, the
Better Business Bureau, it doesn't matter.

1513
01:57:35.319 --> 01:57:43.039
I mean, you have the Lemon
law, Okay, I mean that's what

1514
01:57:43.199 --> 01:57:45.399
you do and now I don't know
if you can recover I don't think you

1515
01:57:45.439 --> 01:57:50.039
can recover attorney's fees, but I
think you'd get their attention if you start

1516
01:57:50.119 --> 01:57:56.359
a lawsuit under the Lemon law.
I don't even think they can bring the

1517
01:57:56.479 --> 01:58:01.159
arbitration into into the court because it's
not relevant. I mean they it's not

1518
01:58:01.319 --> 01:58:06.560
a legal binding, a decision.
It wasn't like a court precedent. But

1519
01:58:06.720 --> 01:58:11.600
I listen, I I sympathize with
you. Do you think it would do

1520
01:58:11.720 --> 01:58:14.920
any good if we who are we
going to call? If we call AutoNation,

1521
01:58:15.000 --> 01:58:18.039
they're already fixing it, right,
They're already fixing it. They did

1522
01:58:18.119 --> 01:58:21.479
Autoation? Ever say they trade you
out of it or something without you losing

1523
01:58:21.520 --> 01:58:27.439
a ton of money. We've played
with the idea. I said, can

1524
01:58:27.479 --> 01:58:30.800
we is there anyway? And because
we're dealing with obviously the service department,

1525
01:58:30.840 --> 01:58:32.640
they're like, well you can.
I mean, we can take it to

1526
01:58:32.680 --> 01:58:36.279
sales and see what they'd give it
give you for it. But I feel

1527
01:58:36.319 --> 01:58:40.119
like at this point, I don't
know. I mean, yeah, I

1528
01:58:40.199 --> 01:58:43.800
guess it would be worth potentially,
Well, let's put it right, you

1529
01:58:43.880 --> 01:58:47.439
have a choice, if you sued
them, what would it cost now think

1530
01:58:47.479 --> 01:58:51.680
about that same amount of money being
put toward a trade and getting another car.

1531
01:58:53.239 --> 01:58:57.279
Sometimes there is no answer other than
to move on, truly, right,

1532
01:58:58.279 --> 01:59:00.039
So what if you did that?
What if you decided, you know

1533
01:59:00.159 --> 01:59:04.880
what, this is a piece of
crap. If I sue them, I'm

1534
01:59:04.920 --> 01:59:10.720
going to spend ten or fifteen grand
minimum to get their attention. This is

1535
01:59:10.800 --> 01:59:14.600
not going to court. This is
just starting a lawsuit. Yeah, so

1536
01:59:15.239 --> 01:59:18.520
what would you get if you took
that? You don't have to. By

1537
01:59:18.600 --> 01:59:23.079
the way, that's not a lemon. They already said it wasn't. So

1538
01:59:23.199 --> 01:59:26.920
if you trade it there or somewhere
else, see what you'll get for it?

1539
01:59:27.279 --> 01:59:30.039
And if can you add another ten
or fifteen to it? Be done

1540
01:59:30.079 --> 01:59:34.560
with the lawsuit idea. Instead of
spending it on attorneys, spend it on

1541
01:59:34.640 --> 01:59:41.239
another vehicle. But don't get it. Don't get a diesel GMC diesel anymore.

1542
01:59:41.319 --> 01:59:45.760
Don't do that. Diesels now,
with all the emissions of you shouldn't

1543
01:59:45.760 --> 01:59:47.960
get a diesel anymore. Now.
I love diesels, but not anymore because

1544
01:59:48.000 --> 01:59:55.640
of what because of what they make
you do? Yeah? I agree?

1545
01:59:56.159 --> 02:00:00.239
Why don't I mean think about it? Have you probably have? Did you

1546
02:00:00.359 --> 02:00:01.560
pay for that cashure? Do you
have it? A loan on it?

1547
02:00:03.439 --> 02:00:08.359
We've paid, We put about thirty
five to forty thousand downs. We have

1548
02:00:08.479 --> 02:00:12.359
how much for us? Thirty five
to forty thousand? Yeah? Why don't

1549
02:00:12.359 --> 02:00:15.239
you know what I would do?
Do me a favor. I want you

1550

1573
02:02:04.199 --> 02:02:08.479
Yukon thing. Here's what I want
to say, Sue. Stephanie, Sue,

1574
02:02:08.920 --> 02:02:15.079
but basically, I don't see how
you can lose except take the same

1575
02:02:15.239 --> 02:02:19.600
money. Would be possibly better to
go and trade. I want you to

1576
02:02:19.680 --> 02:02:26.000
go to Jafar Cars and Rodney.
I want you to call him specifically,

1577
02:02:26.239 --> 02:02:31.279
talk to him, and I want
you to ask what he it's jfar cars.

1578
02:02:31.279 --> 02:02:33.359
I don't have that number hand.
Eat. Maybe Kachino will get it

1579
02:02:33.399 --> 02:02:36.640
for you or get it for me
while we're on the air, But ask

1580
02:02:36.760 --> 02:02:40.720
him. Tell him about your car. It doesn't matter if you had trouble

1581
02:02:40.760 --> 02:02:44.119
with it, because you're getting it
fixed. It's not a lemon. It's

1582
02:02:44.199 --> 02:02:47.720
working. It's not like you're hiding
damage. The car is working. The

1583
02:02:47.800 --> 02:02:53.039
car's running, the car you paid
ninety seven grand. See what he can

1584
02:02:53.239 --> 02:02:57.960
find that might be comparable. I
mean, look at some other vehicles.

1585
02:02:58.039 --> 02:03:01.960
Have you looked at the new Grand
Wagon here? Yeah? Do you like

1586
02:03:02.079 --> 02:03:13.560
it? How about how about the
big Nissan SUVs or Toyota SUVs or even

1587
02:03:14.039 --> 02:03:16.159
I don't know do they even.
What I'm getting at is, here's the

1588
02:03:16.239 --> 02:03:19.920
number for Rodney over there. I
would let him run some numbers to see

1589
02:03:19.960 --> 02:03:28.479
what you could buy. Three oh
three, five two zero, sixty eight

1590
02:03:28.640 --> 02:03:30.640
thirty nine. I don't know if
you're driving or not, but maybe uh

1591
02:03:31.560 --> 02:03:35.479
I got it, yeah, five
two, And just let him run the

1592
02:03:35.600 --> 02:03:41.279
numbers instead of just doing this uphill
battle. Because I don't think we're gonna

1593
02:03:41.319 --> 02:03:45.000
get people. I don't think we're
gonna get them to do anything differently.

1594
02:03:45.159 --> 02:03:47.920
Than honor the warranty. You just
made a bad choice possibly, and feel

1595
02:03:48.079 --> 02:03:53.319
look at the same happens with people
who buy range Rovers. For God's sakes,

1596
02:03:53.359 --> 02:03:57.000
don't buy a range Rover when you
get rid of this. But people

1597
02:03:57.119 --> 02:04:00.760
make the same kind of mistake.
You know, Chevy, these are pretty

1598
02:04:00.000 --> 02:04:03.199
dependable. I know it's a GMC
and you're wondering, but I think the

1599
02:04:03.319 --> 02:04:06.600
problem you have is that you bought
a diesel, and nowadays, with all

1600
02:04:06.640 --> 02:04:11.920
the emission stuff, diesels are bad
news. Three all three seven, one,

1601
02:04:11.960 --> 02:04:15.840
three eight, two five five.
Don't forget, uh, don't forget

1602
02:04:15.880 --> 02:04:17.960
to call three ah three Martino twenty
four to seven. Jim had the same

1603
02:04:18.039 --> 02:04:23.319
problem. Man. We discovered a
really a real bad guy here, Jim.

1604
02:04:23.920 --> 02:04:28.119
They I've been getting off the off
air messages as well and some uh

1605
02:04:28.560 --> 02:04:34.880
text messaging on this guy. And
it's Eric Brown over at this place called

1606
02:04:35.720 --> 02:04:42.279
what is it go Cat or something, this hot rod shop. He's a

1607
02:04:42.399 --> 02:04:51.840
scumbag. Jim. What what was
your experience, hey, Jim? I

1608
02:04:51.920 --> 02:04:56.640
had him, Yeah, I had
a repair an agel mind, had him

1609
02:04:56.640 --> 02:05:00.039
do a rebuild on it. Yeah, and uh, he just he he

1610
02:05:00.119 --> 02:05:03.359
sat on it forever, never never
was doing anything I took a down payment

1611
02:05:03.399 --> 02:05:08.600
on it, but I had a
buddy stop by his shop, and one

1612
02:05:08.640 --> 02:05:14.680
thing he told me was he's got
tons of classic components in his shop right

1613
02:05:14.760 --> 02:05:19.000
now, and so he's always bragging
about how he picked up these classic pieces.

1614
02:05:20.039 --> 02:05:24.279
But when I asked for my money
back for it, he said he

1615
02:05:24.319 --> 02:05:26.479
didn't have the money because he was
already spent. And I told him,

1616
02:05:26.479 --> 02:05:29.960
why don't you just sell some of
those pieces he got there and give me

1617
02:05:30.039 --> 02:05:33.720
my money back. So he's got
a pretty heavy investment in different parts that

1618
02:05:33.880 --> 02:05:36.880
he could be using to sell off
to give people his moneys back. But

1619
02:05:38.800 --> 02:05:41.520
I managed to just pick up my
motor and take it back, and I

1620
02:05:41.640 --> 02:05:45.880
just kind of washed my hands of
it. I've started reading reviews about him,

1621
02:05:45.560 --> 02:05:48.520
but yeah, he's got a lot
of money invested in some parts that

1622
02:05:48.600 --> 02:05:53.600
he could be using it. Does
let me ask you this, does you

1623
02:05:53.680 --> 02:05:57.439
know how some ripoffs they appear to
be ripoffs, like, for example,

1624
02:05:57.960 --> 02:06:01.399
Jeff Jolliff, that guy we've been
after for years and stuff. Does this

1625
02:06:01.600 --> 02:06:08.600
guy appear like he's a sleazy scumbag
like Jeff Jolliffe, or does he seem

1626
02:06:08.760 --> 02:06:12.600
like does he you know? I
don't know. I mean, what is

1627
02:06:12.680 --> 02:06:15.760
his appearance, what does his shop
look like? Does he look like a

1628
02:06:15.840 --> 02:06:18.800
fly by night? Now, it
doesn't look like a fly by night.

1629
02:06:18.840 --> 02:06:21.359
He actually looks like he kind of
knows what he's doing when he talks to

1630
02:06:21.399 --> 02:06:25.800
you. He seems to be very
well informed to know what he's doing and

1631
02:06:25.880 --> 02:06:28.760
what he's what he's working on.
And I think that's kind of why I

1632
02:06:28.760 --> 02:06:30.479
went with I was kind of I
was local to him, so I wanted

1633
02:06:30.520 --> 02:06:33.680
him because he appeared to have a
good reputation. But how do people keep

1634
02:06:33.840 --> 02:06:39.199
falling for this if they google the
guy? Well, you don't know about

1635
02:06:39.199 --> 02:06:42.720
it until you get involved with him
and you find out he's he's taking money

1636
02:06:42.760 --> 02:06:46.039
from new customers to pay off business
that he's way behind on. He's just

1637
02:06:46.680 --> 02:06:50.159
he's he's got a pyramid scheme going
on, and I don't know how he

1638
02:06:50.399 --> 02:06:55.159
runs his business. No fault to
himself maybe, but well, what do

1639
02:06:55.199 --> 02:06:58.319
you mean no fault he's doing robbing
Peter to pay Paul. I mean,

1640
02:06:58.399 --> 02:07:00.439
the guy's a scumbag, that's all. It's totally what he is, and

1641
02:07:00.520 --> 02:07:03.880
he's not the bottom line is he's
not being honest with his people. I

1642
02:07:03.920 --> 02:07:08.279
mean, he should be telling people
that he's behind. It's gonna be a

1643
02:07:08.319 --> 02:07:12.000
couple of years because he's I don't
know he's gonna do it, but he's

1644
02:07:12.079 --> 02:07:15.960
just he's taking orders today so that
he can pay off people that he's taken

1645
02:07:16.079 --> 02:07:21.640
orders from years ago. Go Cat

from him. Thank you for letting us

02:08:26.880 --> 02:08:33.479
Hi Tom Martino. You're a troubleshooter
and I I've been talking about this

1659
02:08:33.680 --> 02:08:39.319
on with my YouTube morons and uh, I'm trying to type while I'm talking

1660
02:08:39.359 --> 02:08:41.640
to you. Bet here's what I
want to do. I'm serious. I

1661
02:08:41.720 --> 02:08:48.520
want to start a patrol, a
trouble shooter patrol where if you guys are

1662
02:08:48.560 --> 02:08:52.399
listening, and I send a couple
of you to one of these businesses like

1663
02:08:52.520 --> 02:09:00.800
this scumbag. This guy at the
Go Cat Shop, he's a scumbag.

1664
02:09:00.920 --> 02:09:05.319
There's an Eric Brown, He's an
absolute scumbag. Go Cat Speedshop, forty

1665
02:09:05.359 --> 02:09:09.640
four to twenty five South Santa Fe
Inglewood. Now, I'm not suggesting we'd

1666
02:09:09.680 --> 02:09:15.560
be confrontationals or harassing or anything,
but we literally go with the cell phone,

1667
02:09:15.640 --> 02:09:20.319
rolling the camera and we say we
found out about you. We would

1668
02:09:20.439 --> 02:09:24.119
like to know what is your plan
to pay these people back? What is

1669
02:09:24.199 --> 02:09:28.760
your plan? Why do you continue
to take money up front when you owe

1670
02:09:28.840 --> 02:09:33.720
so many people? These are legit
questions. Now, if you're on his

1671
02:09:33.840 --> 02:09:35.680
property and he says I want you
to out or get off my property.

1672
02:09:35.720 --> 02:09:39.000
You'd have to do that, but
that would still but you don't have to

1673
02:09:39.039 --> 02:09:43.319
do it until he tells you.
I know this from my years in TV.

1674
02:09:43.920 --> 02:09:46.239
But you can confront him, you
know nowadays we're all TV reporters.

1675
02:09:46.319 --> 02:09:50.920
You can do that and I'll air
it. I'll put it here. We

1676
02:09:50.079 --> 02:09:54.159
need to do it. We need
to start, Honest to god, I

1677
02:09:54.239 --> 02:09:58.600
mean, I am so tired of
people getting ripped off. You know what,

1678
02:10:00.000 --> 02:10:01.920
I'll tell you, this is what
the legislature should do. Instead of

1679
02:10:03.000 --> 02:10:07.039
going after freaking landlords and people are
just trying to make a freaking living,

1680
02:10:07.600 --> 02:10:16.319
how about going after these scumbags in
business who take money up front and do

1681
02:10:16.079 --> 02:10:24.359
not deliver. Criminalize it, criminalize
it. My god. You want to

1682
02:10:24.399 --> 02:10:31.119
talk about hurting people. They hurt
people. What about that? Why not

1683
02:10:31.279 --> 02:10:35.800
you? We have a democratic,
lopsided government who's help bent on protecting people,

1684
02:10:37.279 --> 02:10:41.720
and they make these stupid tenant landlord
laws that they think are going to

1685
02:10:41.760 --> 02:10:43.880
help people. They might help a
little, but that they're mainly going to

1686
02:10:43.960 --> 02:10:48.159
do is give us a shortage of
rentals. Meanwhile, if you want to

1687
02:10:48.239 --> 02:10:54.680
do really, really really good stuff
for people, go after these people.

1688
02:10:54.279 --> 02:10:58.199
Make it a crime. You take
money up front and you do not perform

1689
02:10:58.560 --> 02:11:01.560
and there's a certain amount of time, you know, a law could be

1690
02:11:01.600 --> 02:11:07.119
written, throw their asses in jail
or make them put up a bond.

1691
02:11:07.880 --> 02:11:13.800
Why not? You know in the
securities business, for someone to take money

1692
02:11:13.920 --> 02:11:16.800
and be a custodial of money,
they have to have a certain set of

1693
02:11:16.840 --> 02:11:20.439
standards. Make that for people that
want to take money up front, you

1694
02:11:20.600 --> 02:11:22.720
have to have a certain amount of
bonding or insurance. You have to have

1695
02:11:22.760 --> 02:11:26.000
a certain amount of cash reserves.
And if you don't get the hell out,

1696
02:11:26.279 --> 02:11:31.920
you can't do it. I am
tired of people taking money up front

1697
02:11:31.000 --> 02:11:37.319
like this, Eric Brown, This
scumbag a gocat speed shop. Eric Brown,

1698
02:11:39.119 --> 02:11:43.199
what a scumbag? Are you?
People tired of this? Every day

1699
02:11:43.279 --> 02:11:48.319
on this show, these people get
hurt. You know, you have thousands

1700
02:11:48.359 --> 02:11:54.359
of dollars you pay to someone to
get your carfage like this scumbag Jeff Jolliffe

1701
02:11:54.720 --> 02:12:01.560
keeps getting away with it. They
know there is no consequence. These landscapers,

1702
02:12:01.840 --> 02:12:09.399
these contractors, these car people,
they just continue to hurt people.

1703
02:12:09.600 --> 02:12:15.560
This is what the legislature should go
after. Leave landlords the hell alone.

1704
02:12:16.039 --> 02:12:24.600
God, it pisses me off.
Chuck. This brings up a good point.

1705
02:12:24.920 --> 02:12:28.359
Your call actually falls right into this. What is your question, Chuck?

1706
02:12:30.399 --> 02:12:33.800
Yeah, Hey, there, I
am getting a couple of bids together

1707
02:12:35.039 --> 02:12:39.399
for some foundation repair work in the
basement of my home. Yeah, and

1708
02:12:39.840 --> 02:12:41.760
one of the guys that I'd actually
like to use, because he seems pretty

1709
02:12:41.800 --> 02:12:46.920
competent asking for thirty five percent up
front. The whole job comes in at

1710
02:12:46.920 --> 02:12:50.760
eleven to five. And why does
he want thirty five percent up front?

1711
02:12:50.800 --> 02:12:54.199
Give me a good reason. I
don't know. Yeah, I mean that's

1712
02:12:54.319 --> 02:12:58.000
right. I don't know why because
I've always heard you say that, but

1713
02:12:58.079 --> 02:13:01.039
I've never I've never had a big
project like that on the table since pre

1714
02:13:01.159 --> 02:13:05.159
COVID. They don't need it.
They don't need it either he has no

1715
02:13:05.359 --> 02:13:09.319
credit. He has no credit and
no suppliers that will trust him. Or

1716
02:13:09.359 --> 02:13:11.720
he needs money for some reason.
Why? Why is he good looking?

1717
02:13:11.800 --> 02:13:15.279
Does he want money because he's good
looking? What does he want good What

1718
02:13:15.359 --> 02:13:18.479
does he want money for? What
I'm saying is, what is he going

1719
02:13:18.560 --> 02:13:20.840
to do for you? Now?
If he does a plan, pay him

1720
02:13:20.840 --> 02:13:24.079
for the plan. If he delivers
materials, pay for the materials. If

1721
02:13:24.119 --> 02:13:26.760
he shows up for work, pay
him, pay him as you go.

1722
02:13:28.279 --> 02:13:31.560
But why does anyone need a third
of eleven thousand dollars to get started?

1723
02:13:31.560 --> 02:13:39.800
There is no reason in the world, no reason. Well he is he

1724
02:13:39.000 --> 02:13:46.560
is an Italian, so he's pretty
good looking. Listen, man, are

1725
02:13:46.640 --> 02:13:52.399
you inclined to want to pay this
guy? Chuck only in so much that

1726
02:13:52.479 --> 02:13:54.079
I'm heavy? What's the name of
the company. What's the name of the

1727
02:13:54.159 --> 02:13:58.399
company? I'm nuts, By the
way, I'm not saying he's a bad

1728
02:13:58.439 --> 02:14:01.560
company. I want this very clear. I'm not saying anyone who wants There

1729
02:14:01.600 --> 02:14:05.039
are people on my referral list who
want money upfront. There are. Here's

1730
02:14:05.079 --> 02:14:07.640
what I tell people when they go
to the referral list. If you're going

1731
02:14:07.720 --> 02:14:11.560
to pay anyone upfront, do it
buy a credit card. Okay, how

1732
02:14:11.600 --> 02:14:15.520
about that? And if you can't
do it by credit card, then you

1733
02:14:15.640 --> 02:14:20.479
do an escrow account. They get
that money when they complete that first phase.

1734
02:14:20.039 --> 02:14:24.520
Why do you have to be behind
the eight ball? These people are

1735
02:14:24.600 --> 02:14:28.079
in business. It's a cost of
doing business. Now, if they say,

1736
02:14:28.720 --> 02:14:31.880
well, I don't want to have
to schedule a job out and have

1737
02:14:33.079 --> 02:14:37.119
you cancel a couple of days before
without skin in the game, okay,

1738
02:14:37.199 --> 02:14:45.359
then take a deposit for that you
know not a third, or write an

1739
02:14:45.439 --> 02:14:48.760
agreement with somebody that if you cancel, you owe them money and then go

1740
02:14:48.880 --> 02:14:52.319
after them for it. You can. You could even put a lean on

1741
02:14:52.399 --> 02:14:56.800
their house. What I'm getting at
is there are ways to protect yourself as

1742
02:14:56.840 --> 02:15:01.880
a contractor. I am sick and
tired contractors saying they need money upfront.

1743
02:15:03.079 --> 02:15:05.119
I am sick and tired of all
of them saying they need money upfront.

1744
02:15:05.319 --> 02:15:11.000
Money upfront puts a consumer at risk. You don't need it, Chuck,

1745
02:15:11.279 --> 02:15:15.359
who's the company? I'm just curious. I'm not saying the guy's a bad

1746
02:15:15.399 --> 02:15:22.079
guy who wants money upfront. The
company is called Pinnacle Structural Solutions. Okay.

1747
02:15:22.640 --> 02:15:26.560
And did you ask for a good
explanation as to why he needs almost

1748
02:15:26.640 --> 02:15:31.520
four thousand dollars up front? I
have not. I've asked him, you

1749
02:15:31.600 --> 02:15:33.880
know, why does it have to
be that much? And he said,

1750
02:15:33.920 --> 02:15:39.640
well, we could negotiate the amount. But part of the problem is I'm

1751
02:15:39.680 --> 02:15:41.960
having any trouble funding anybody who I
think would be competent to do the job

1752
02:15:43.039 --> 02:15:46.600
down payment or not. Well,
I know a lot of good people.

1753
02:15:46.039 --> 02:15:50.800
Now, what do you need done? So we got the foundation walls moving

1754
02:15:50.880 --> 02:15:56.560
in the basement torquing in. I
need to put some not counter forwards and

1755
02:15:56.600 --> 02:16:00.319
not helical peers, but some other
types of structural support. So I've got

1756
02:16:00.399 --> 02:16:03.239
a structural engineer drew up plans to
arrest this movement. So it's complicated.

1757
02:16:03.359 --> 02:16:07.680
Now. Pinnacle. Pinnacle has a
good website. And let's see what are

1758
02:16:07.720 --> 02:16:13.880
their of their ratings. Have you
looked for at them? They have four,

1759
02:16:13.119 --> 02:16:18.920
they have four Yelp only they have
twenty five reviews and they have a

1760
02:16:18.039 --> 02:16:24.800
score of four. But I'm not
saying they're bad. I wouldn't give them.

1761
02:16:24.880 --> 02:16:26.680
No, I wouldn't give them that
money upfront at all. No.

1762
02:16:26.880 --> 02:16:28.720
If they want the job, they
can get the job. But I'm not

1763
02:16:28.800 --> 02:16:33.440
giving them the money. I'm not. Why should you? How many you

1764
02:16:33.520 --> 02:16:37.079
know? You know what? Almost
every single consumer problem on this show,

1765
02:16:37.319 --> 02:16:43.520
every single one of them, has
to do with money upfront. That's one

1766
02:16:43.559 --> 02:16:48.959
of the components. People felt pressured
and they paid money upfront. So I'm

1767
02:16:48.079 --> 02:16:50.200
just done with it. I am
done with it. I got to take
