Landlord Makes It Clear That He Will Raise The Rent If Biden Gets Elected
We’ve all heard the horror stories about landlords neglecting their tenants or showing their true colors in the times of the pandemic. But as with all things in life, some landlords are worse than others.
Residents of a Colorado trailer park were seriously shocked after they received a note from their landlord threatening to double their rent if Joe Biden is elected. As crazy as it sounds, the tenants emailed the letter to 9NEWS in order to find out whether such a threat was legal. The news outlet contacted The Colorado Secretary Of State’s office and it confirmed that they received a complaint from Fort Morgan park residents.
The tenants felt hurt since their families live “paycheck to paycheck and right now, we barely make things out with what we get.” Read the intimidating note down below, which indeed sounds like a very indecent form of voting suppression, and adds yet another nightmare story in the landlord department.
The residents of a Colorado trailer park were left in shock after receiving this note from their landlord
The trailer park resident Cindy Marquez who lived there for 20 years, said she has never seen something like this from landlords before.
“Our family lives paycheck to paycheck and right now we barely make things out with what we get,” she told 9NEWS.
The woman also said that the community was honestly shocked and hurt, since this the threat was essentially something that the residents couldn’t control. “We can’t control what everyone else does, you know? We can’t control the results.”
The Colorado Secretary of State’s now handed the complaint to the Attorney General where the case is undergoing further investigation.
The residents filed a complaint and reached out to a member of the Colorado Senate to comment on their case
And this is what people had to say

Share on FacebookThis is crazy, like what is going on in this guys head?!? America, vote like your life depends on it, because it kind of does.
People have been voting against their better interests for years. And "value voters" have selective blindness when it comes to their candidates.
Load More Replies...VOTER INTIMIDATION IS ILLEGAL. REPORT IT. .... oh, an dthose regulations depend on local authorities, the elections most people ignore ------ not on POTUS. Good grief...
Sue the hell out of that bastard! This is not because I very much dislike Trump ... Biden also wouldn't be my favourite, I still would prefer Bernie Sanders, even if the Dems would have to change their candidate on November, 2nd ... I'm no US citizen anyway, but THIS is illegal for sure, and this is a violation of the principle of the free vote. Nothing will change drastically for landlording-business, nevertheless who wins. There is nothing to this threat, it only reveals your landlord is unfit for ... for anything at all.
Trump supporters are the scum of the earth, just like their king of scum, Trump. God help America to be free of Trump, and his evil minions.
Saturn Argentavis, are you naturally that stupid, or did you have to work at it?
Load More Replies...this is atrocious. I love how at the end they're like: voting is your choice and we're not telling you how to vote. As a way to cover their asses. Also this is ineffective. This guy is pretty stupid if he thinks his trailer park will win trump the election. This is obviously a threat or a attempt at coercion because if it wasn't you wouldn't tell people about it (and remind them when to vote at the bottom)
Hey, I will take this personal! ... nah, kidding ... Washington, obviously.

Wow. This is illegal, and as if the entire election is incumbent on those renters. I love how this landlord is so stupid, he has basically written, "sue me. I'm intimidating voters." He's also saying, "I'm really stupid, and I'm going to blame the vote on my renters."
Don’t you love how the Landlord underlined “Your” as in “Your choice” in the above letter? They are very clearly threatening their tenants with doubling rent immediately if they vote against the Landlord’s choice. I don’t like how you can see who voted for who in elections. Only our elected officials should be forced to show who they voted for but it should be a choice to allow our vote to be made public or it should be a sealed record that no one can access.
"Nice" try. Now you will face the consequences of being the huggest a**hole in town. Amen.
I got rid of Facebook because the laugh emoji was used as a way to bully and intimidate people. I wish they would get rid of the reactions and just stick to like and unlike. I don’t know what they made things worse. As far as this article, this is voter coercion, it’s illegal and this landlord has more money than brains.
This is what scare tactics gets you. I'm sure this guy has been reading the same flyers and paranoia news I still see, claiming Biden wants every American to die because he's a socialist which is another word for concentration camp enthusiast and if you don't have a gun then your family will never eat again. Ten years ago that last sentence would have been an exaggeration.
What a turd burglar. There’s no reason gas, utilities, etc would all DOUBLE under any president. As much as I hate the current one, I can’t think of anything that DOUBLED in price while he’s been in office. At least not in the US, I’m not sure how much the cost of exported soybeans went up.
What the actual f*ck? This is illegal, and just gross. It's funny how desperate Trump suporters are getting.
Just shows how reactionary and poorly informed this knucklehead is. I'm sure he thinks Biden is a socialist, too.
I love how Trump supporters do things like this because it shows how much of a blind spot they have. Trump/GOP cut taxes so far that it is unsustainable. The GOP did this in 2001, and we all know what happened a few years later. And to top things off, if Dems sweep, the GOP will start complaining about the deficit, which they don't care about when GOP is in power. I call what Biden is calling for a tax restoration, designed to keep the Country from economic ruin
Politics have no place in the tenant-landlord relationship and should never be used for intimidation. Everyone has different political views and it's not anyone else's business what a person's political view is. This landlord needs to stop making threats like this, especially since they are illegal in the first place. You can't raise people's rent just because of who won a political race.
Trump is not going to be willing to admit defeat if he loses, and will not go quietly. To him if he loses it could only mean voter fraud. However supporters are trying to ensure his win by voter intimidation, and this shows how cowardly they are. Every person threatened in this manner by any establishment should sue the hell out of any company trying to do this. I dont care who you vote for, this is not okay on either side but i am not surprised his followers have stopped this low.
This letter is freaking stupid. If the taxes go up, raise the rent. Until then, stfu
I'd create a tenant association, get everyone on board and send a letter right back to the landlord, telling him he's going to be going to court to defend this little stunt he pulled, and after that, he'll be looking for new tenants for every single unit he owns, because everyone will move out.
Not possible. Not everyone has a choice as to where they can live through no fault of their own so that part would be an untruth like the one he threatned. Lawsuit yes, idle threats no.
Load More Replies...Must be a proud boy member. The irony is that taxes will have to go up to fix the huge deficit ($3.1 Trillion) that the repugs have created. And of course, if Biden wins, he will get the blame for a problem he didn't create.
Sometimes it's the only way to get enough attention to right a wrong.
Load More Replies...What a jerk. Yes, if Biden wins, taxes will go up, that means rent will increase. But what this guy is doing is threatening his tenets. That's just wrong.
Taxes go up if you make more than 400,000 a year, as the only people paying taxes at present are the poor and the middle class--which is the death of upward mobility and the death of a healthy economy.
Load More Replies...Yes the delusional people saying threatening people into voting for a certain candidate is bad.
Load More Replies...They didn't forget anything, they were threatned!
Load More Replies...This is very clearly a threat. You can vote for whoever you want, but intimidating other people to vote the way you want is just childish.
