According to comScore Networks Video Metrix service, “U.S. Internet users viewed more than 12 billion online videos during May 2008, representing an increase of 45 percent versus a year ago.”

“And as the video revolution has spread, it’s created an important new way for real estate professionals to market themselves and get home buyers and sellers more immediately involved in the home sales process” writes Michael Antoniak in the Realtor magazine.

Today, I thought I would see if my fellow Celebration realtor’s had embraced this new marketing tool and, if so, how and in what ways.

I started by searching YouTube for videos tagged with “Celebration Real Estate” and then checked out some related links.

I found several videos of Celebration itself, the most popular being this one produced by the Orlando Avenue Top Team with 12,138 views.

Yesterday, I wrote about a Celebration Condos rental scam that some friends told me about last weekend and how one landlord in NY State has decided to fight back against serial evictees and other rotten tenants.

Today, I have been searching around the web and tracked down some more information that I hope will be of interest to my readers. As far as I can tell, the first story about serial evictees was posted by the San Francisco Weekly and called How Renters Work the System to Live for Free in a Very Expensive City.

The story was then picked up by a number of blogs, including the Consumerist:

How “Serial Evictees” Game A System Meant To Protect Renters From … - SF Weekly has an article that tracks the exploits of a serial evictee, a “renter” who leases apartments with no intention of paying rent, and then games the system in order to stay rent free for as long as possible. …

And finally, there’s this post on the Chicago Landlord blog where Melissa Stanley, a Chicago real estate agent with 10+ years experience owning and managing apartment buildings, offers some tips on how to avoid being scammed by Serial Evictees.

In addition to Melissa’s excellent advice, I would suggest that all Celebration landlords check the on-line Court records that are available here in Florida to see if a potential renter has been previously evicted. Click here to search the Osceola County Court records.

We had some friends over at the weekend and they told us about how a friend of theirs, who owns several Celebration condos, had been caught out by a rental scam recently.

Having paid the first month’s rent and security deposit to get in the condo, one of their renters then made up a string of habitability complaints, and more, as justification for not paying any more rent. By using their knowledge of the law and how the legal system works, the renter managed to stay in the condo for 7 whole months absolutely rent free before they were eventually evicted!

It turns out that this wasn’t the first time this particular individual had done this. He is what is commonly known as a serial evictee”.

It also turns out that this particular scam isn’t confined to Celebration either as I discovered yesterday when I came across a blog post on Sellsius Real Estate that talks about this very issue and how one landlord has decided to fight back by “creating a database of problem tenants so as to warn other landlords of undesirables”.

You can find this database as RottenTenant.com. It only has a few names at the moment, but I suspect that this will change as more and more landlords become aware of this site.
