Dog Held For Ransom For Unpaid Rent


Talk about harsh.  The real estate agent acting as property manager for this New York apartment complex not only got this tenant fired from her job, but held her dog for ransom to attempt to collect back due rent.  Her inability to pay her rent stemmed from being a victim of identify theft.  Apparently this property manager wasn’t too sympathetic.   While there is no doubt that she owed rent and they had a right to collect, the means in which they pursued the matter were a bit harsh.  Creative, but harsh.

To all landlords out there, what extreme measures have you heard about to collect rent?

      As a landlord, I have to admit it’s tempting. I’m sure there’s more to the story than was reported.
