REDNECK LANDLORD:
A totally corrupt unscrupulous wannabe bad ass.
Known to steal whatever they can from unsuspecting tenants who might have a few dollars in their pocket.
Examples include:
Renting a house with NO heater in it, and expecting a tenant to keep paying the rent on time.
Refusing to put anything in writing...lest they be held accountable for actually agreeing to spend money out of their pockets for a ....UGH>>>tenant!
Come banging on your door at midnight the 2nd becuase you didnt pay the rent on the 1st. Even though the 1st is a saturday and you were out sick on Friday which is where your paycheck is.
Locking people out of thier apartment for asking for something to be fixed or god forbid not paying the rent on time, due to the above because MOST people do not have direct deposit OR overdraft checking.
Holding property HOSTAGE, or selling it ......see below
Refusing to give people a copy of the lease ...lest they be held accountable...
Refusing to give back the security deposit, and "FINDING" enough damage so you wont get a dime.....hint they will NEVER put the deposit in a seperate bank account according to the LAW...,becuase they spent it on booze or drugs
Making up things out of thin air...... such as extra rent, fees, YOU pay for it, or eviction if you ask for things to be repaired, even if the lease says the landlord is responsible.
RENT TO OWN SCAMS........a redneck loves these, they get a loser of a tenant offer to sell them some broken down house or tailer IF they SPEND thier money to fix it up, and pay him so much per month toweard the trailer, then one month something major breaks, and the tenants ask for help becuse they cant afford fixing a leak or furnace and the rent...so the landlord evicts them for NOT paying the rent on time, even though they put their money into his property.
All sorts of disgusting low life dispicable acts and rarely do they happen in a BIG City
Most tenants are a little smarter and EXPECT a professional landlord.
So that's a start, start reading the posts and see how much of it fits...(A LOT)
Of course they with threaten,or harass you into leaving becuase they will NOT spend any money to evict you legally.
Now do you get it?

And I even forgot the most important aspect of being a low life redneck landlord:
Under NO circumstances will you agree to do a final walk thru of the apartment.
Even if you have been properly notified by mail, and the tenant takes off time from work...lest you be caught actually agreeing to give the tenant back any money whatsoever....
And If you do you will notice every little nick or paint scrape, or even a liitle discolroration of the carpet..which was there when you first moved in, but the Redneck didnt do a move in report either, so natually the low life scumbag redneck will hit the roof yelling and screaming about the damaged carpet and not only will you not get any of it back, they will buy carpet from their BUBBA, and will get an inflated reciept on some blank staionary (not a legitimate company) so you will even have to pay them more money.
Or if they really really really want to be scum of the earth they will not send you back your deposit AND DEMAND you send them some MORE money and they will never send you a legitimate reciept for the new carpet.....bucause they DIDN'T BUY IT!
This is what keeps Jerry Springer in business!

WOW...you really have strong feelings about them. Like I said I was just curious. It sounds like those are just bad people, I don't know that I would necessarily consider them rednecks. And no I am not a redneck or a landlord..lol, but I have had landlords like that and never knew what they were officially called. Thanks.
Somehow - I don't think Jeff Foxworthy would agree with your definition of a "redneck".
The term actually comes from the act of WORKING in the fields/sun, bent over a plow or on a tractor looking down so that the neck becomes red/sunburned.
I am sure that afterworking 8 to 10 hours like that that if a "redneck" could earn their living another way, they would - just not necessarily dishonestly.

Taken from Webster's dictionary:
red'neck', n. informal (often disparaging), an uneducated white farm laborer, esp. in the South.
Not my personal opinion, just the definition.
I think the best suited words for the landlords happy&lucky bash are:
slum'lord', n. a landlord who charges exorbitant rents in slum buildings.
or
scum, n. 1. a film of foul matter that forms on the surface of a liquid. 2. waste material; refuse. 3. low, worthless persons; dregs
I think all 3 apply to some landlords. And I do believe that these kind of people live in the south, north, east and west.

But from personal experience and from the postings on ths broad..
Ya ever notice no one seems to come from a BIG Northern city? Or a BIG Califorincation city?
It is mostly a lower class rural attiude.
I think it is a type of Domestic Terrorism that needs to be exposed.
Too many people get hurt by these types of people every day.

It has been my belief, that these good ole boys rednecks were raised as DAWGS......probably had landlords who were slumlords when growing up...
So when they get some authority or stature in life, such as being a boss or landlord, what do they do?
They treat everyone else like they were treated...like DAWGS.
I lived in SC NC GA AZ OH NH, and I am hard pressed to remember even one landlord who would be considered a redneck, or had a pickup truck with a confererate flag actually having tenants that liked him.
Of course there are totally rotten tenants, and i can understand a landlord really being picky, or skittish after some bad experiences, but usually the landlord realizes you arent NOT one of them, and turns out to be decent, but REDNECKS it seems its inbred to be a bad asssss.

Well I was born in NC, and I have lived in TN, TX, AZ, & MO. I have family who own property in AZ and NC and I can tell you just being from the south, does not a redneck make.
I have an Aunt who lives in a BIG city in OH and I have seen some of the properties and conditions there. I wouldn't raise my dog there, much less a family.
Bottom line is...a bad landlord is just that...no matter the part of the country they live in.
I think you are a redneckphobic....lol. I'm not sure if they have a program for that, but you might want to check into it.
BTW: Where did you say you were from? NY? Your telling me there are no low-life, scum landlords THERE???? COME ON!!!

I'm In New York City and sure there is plenty of low life scummy landlords....
But they usually prey on the immigrants, who dont speak english.. and who are used to trusting authority, and not asking questions or worse some are deathly scared of Lawyers who want to help them keep their apartments and get their money back....go figure
But most people know better then to pay cash, or rent a slum or illegal apartment, or if they do, they know the risk they are taking.
Most of the posters on this board have really run into low life landlord at an incredible rate.
I really think the percenatge of scummy landlords across the south and midwest its a LOT higher then here.

Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, please let me answer this one, puhleeeeeze Mr. Halket
A redneck tenant will tell you they don't have the rent money cause they just spent $140 (rent is $120) to get a little swimming pool set up out back for the Mrs.--she likes to sunbathe.
A redneck tenant considers rent on time if it's still the month it became due.
A redneck tenant will offer you tools in exchange for rent cause they don't have the money this month.
A redneck tenant will tell all their church people that they have mean landlords because we've asked them to vacate--they are 3 months behind on rent.
After making the LLs get an attorney and take them to court for a lift of an automatic stay, a redneck tenant will cry to their congregation that we are evil and took them to court for no reason.
A redneck tenant borrows a car from church people, returns it with a broken timing belt. They borrow a van, return it with 2 flat tires. They ask the LLs if the truck sitting over here runs....
A redneck tenant has money to feed 3 large dogs, a cat and a ferret but no rent money.
A redneck tenant when learning that they 'might' get food stamps, rushes to the store and buys dog food, cigarettes and hair coloring with their cash...ooops, they didn't get any assistance. Once again, no money for us.
A redneck tenant comes beating on your door at midnight, screaming and yelling that her husband is beating her. The sheriff arrests him in our front yard. Her brother bails his brother-in-law out of jail, mad at his sister for causing a scene. Husband violates restraining order so they can live happily ever after, when it's court time and she has to testify, she leaves the state so she doesn't have to 'get her husband in trouble'.
A redneck tenant abandons their doublewide on your property and it takes a couple of months to get the repo guys out here.

'Queen', got a big chuckle out of your post. I think that we have both had our share of tenants that meet the 'definition'.
Heck, I had one tenant (yes, Happy, I do have some rental houses), who absolutely destroyed a brand-new carpet when she let her hellish children GRIND uncooked spaghetti noodles into the carpet. It literally looked like they had taken a 10 pound package and just dumped some in every room and then GROUND it in. That plus the chewing gum, motor oil, etc. was absolutely incredible. And yes, I had to replace the ENTIRE upstairs carpet and it was only 10 months old!!! Needless to say, that tenant 'moved' in the dark owing a months rent!! I sure wish Texas would allow us to garnish wages on this 'renter'!!!
But, after reading Happyroach's continual BS about redneck landlords, I was just curious if he has ever known a redneck tenant!!
