Landlord’s Eviction Notice With A Bullet

Posted: 29 Sep 2010 07:43 AM PDT

Bulletletter You think you live with tough landlords? Try Inner Mongolia in North China.

The Mingze Real Estate Company is looking to refurbish some of their apartments but their present tenants are not ready to move out. Instead of cajoling them or making them an offer for their inconvenience, the landlord decided to to play hardball.

He posted letters on their apartments with a bullet attached telling them they will get a gift of another bullet if they do not move out soon. The company denies making the threats with bullets but not many are buying this story.

The New York Mafia could learn some tricks from this guy.

A local resident surnamed Liu said four notices with bullets attached were posted on their residential buildings’ walls in July, saying that each resident who refuses to move out by the end of July will receive a gift from the company – a bullet.
“We reported it to the police. They took away the bullets, but haven’t given us any answer yet,” Liu told China Daily on Monday over the phone.
The local police station in Hohhot, capital city of Inner Mongolia, confirmed that they got the notices with bullets, but would not give more details.
“We’ll give the results of the investigation to the residents when we know the origin of the bullets,” a senior police officer surnamed Zhao said on Sunday over the phone. via AsiaOne

Top 10 Counties With Highest Real Estate Taxes in Dollars – 2010

Moneyhousescale As a boy growing up in the New York Metropolitan region the one discussion all the parents had a consensus on was the high cost of property taxes. It looks like this has not changed. The top 10 counties in America with the highest property taxes are all in the New York Metro region in New Jersey and New York.

If you follow politics at all you know that this trend is starting to feel some real resistance from the voters. In New Jersey, Governor Christie is trying to bring the teachers unions into line and get control of the huge increases in property taxes. Looking at this data, I think he has some real ammunition to get control of the run away spending and help the tax payers.
