Octomom Still Doesn't Have A Place To Live
Would you rent to Nadya Suleman and her 14 kids and all the media that comes with her? I don't see why it would matter to the owner of a house that Octomom is trying to rent. I could see why the neighbors would be upset, but why would an owner care? TMZ is reporting that Octomom has been consistently rejected when she tries to rent a house even though she has been willing to pay the entire lease and a substantial security deposit in advance. Apparently she is rejected because the owners don't want the publicity or the attention focused on the house where Nadya lives. Again, who cares? I think they are afraid of what will happen if they rent a house to a person with 14 kids and the resulting damage rather than the attention she will bring them. Considering what her last house looked like when she was finished, I don't blame them for being sacred of damage.
*sacred of damage*?
ReplyDeleteNo one s will rent to her because of the damage, but.... If she pays in advance and cleaning deposit, why not? She moves out, you clean and paint. And if u dont live there., why wld u care if cameras there? If u think it thru, its not such a bad deal.
ReplyDeletelarge deposit or not, its not worth the trouble.
ReplyDeleteShe needs to just buy, and it sounds like she has enough money to put down a downpayment and get a mortgage.
ReplyDeleteI feel like this woman has been overly-villified. Yeah it was some serious non-thinking on her part to have so many children, but I think it's obvious she has, or at least had, a mental health issue of some sort. She was totally enabled by doctors. Whatever. She's got all these kids and she can't even get a reality show out of the deal, or a special because she's so hated? But she's written about plenty.
ReplyDeleteI keep hoping that she'll catch a break somewhere, somehow.
I agree.
DeleteMe too. And the kids are the most innocent in all this. They shouldn't be getting punished for their moms bad mistakes.
Deletegood to see others feel the same instead of just the hate.
DeleteI didn't realize so many of the octuplets were boys. (I just Googled. Only two are girls.)
ReplyDeleteThe homeowners are probably thinking that the damage she and her children create will be more expensive than any security deposit that she's paid.
ReplyDeleteMaybe she could sell some of those kids for medical research.
ReplyDeleteImagine what the homeowner's liability would be, and what their insurance premiums would be. Imagine how pissed off the neighbors would be at the homeowner. If there were problems with rent in the future (given her much-publicized problems with money), how hard and time-consuming it would be to evict her, or to ever recover the money for repairs. I would never rent to her.
ReplyDeleteShe may have a decent down payment but what mortgage company is going to take her on? Seriously - depending on whatever money she makes stripping? She doesn't have a hope of getting a mortgage.

ReplyDeleteIt's kind of illegal to deny someone due to children but of course it still happens. Can't say as I blame them. I'm curious as the why Kate and the Duggars and an unholy host of others get a show but not her?
ReplyDelete14 kids is a LOT of little kids running around with only one adult watching them. I live 2 doors down from a woman with 6 kids and even though they are sweet they are CONSTANTLY getting in trouble or littering in front of other people's houses. With 14 kids, it would be chaos.
ReplyDeleteI think the owner is worried about the damage AND losing other renters.
ReplyDeleteI thought the issue was that the agent took her $ but refused to let her see inside the home until after all the paperwork was processed. When I read that, I thought that was absurd. And illegal.
ReplyDeleteShe would be the tenant from hell. Just ask the former owner of the house she just ruined. She doesn't have a track record to qualify for a mortgage either.
ReplyDeleteI think the recent CLAIM the agent wouldn't let her see the inside is bogus.It's just an excuse to save face and the real reason is more likely the OWNER discovered who his new tenant would be and he bailed out.
ReplyDeleteIf anything about the transaction in this article is true, yes, it was illegal.

In California, you cannot rent a property unseen unless the tenant agrees to it. You cannot accept non-refundable money until paperwork is signed. Deposits and hold deposits are refundable. Most rentals are not handled through escrow. Sounds to me like someone scammed her, there may not have been a house to rent at all.
At this point, a church or some other charitable organization needs to step in. Habitat for Humanity? Come on....it wasn't right for her to have all these kids, but they are here and they need some kind of life.
ReplyDeleteI would not rent to her. Too big of a liability. There's no limit to the damage she & her brood could cause, & who wants the headache of all the repairs when she leaves or as she stays, since the landlord is still responsible for maintenance and upkeep. Plus, in this litigious society, let one of her kids hurt themselves & they can go after the homeowner. Between that many kids & a negligent parent, there's just too much risk.
ReplyDeleteThat pic is f'd up and too familar.
ReplyDeleteObvi its a joke that she has one bunch of grapes for all the kids. But they all really do look hungry, yet not one is reaching out for them, like they no its just for show and they're not getting shit.
It sounds like I'm reading into this but I've seen way to many groups of African babies well-trained in hunger and patience stare at a feast of food and not make a move until their told. And even then with mistrustful reluctance.
:(
I agree with Jennifer H and Sherry. I think she deserves a reality show too. The public is obviously interested and has been for quite some time.
ReplyDeleteBTW: Where are Huckabee, Romney, Rick Perry, and Santorum? Where's Pat Robertson? Why aren't the "values voters" and "right to life" folks supporting her? She's the culmination of everything they've ever fought for. Sure, she's a single mom and she's not the Duggars but she did her part and lived up to what they proposed.
She "deserves" a show???? Why?? Because she's a famewhore who endangered (and is in endangering) the lives of her kids for the purpose of attention and becoming famous. It sounds like there are a lot of people willing to enable her selfish and irresponsible behavior.
ReplyDeleteAny money that she would would go towards financing more cosmetic procedures. She has proven this over and over again.
She has no one to blame but herself.
Just clean and paint? Clean and paint?? You would be lucky if you could repair walls and not do new Sheetrock. 14 kids using the backyard as a toilet? You know the plumbing in the house they left was trashed. Best thing is for her to be homeless so CPS takes all those kids and places them in loving and half way normal homes.
ReplyDeleteBy California law a landlord can charge a maximum deposit of two months of rent for a deposit. Even if one charges "first, last, and deposit," on a unit that is, say, $2k, all that can be required up front is $6k. The last month counts toward the deposit. The house she pulled out of was $2150 per month, so a deposit of $4300 is all that is allowable. She caused far more damage to the last house than that.
ReplyDeleteNo, the kids themselves shouldn't suffer. But neither should any landlord be expected to essentially donate their property to her. The last one lost the house to foreclosure over her, and the bank auction got no bids.
The children need to be removed from her custody. Her actions are hurting them and she has shown time and again that donations (millions of dollars in the first year alone) will not be spent on the kids unless she is forced to. She dropped over $500 on her hair instead of paying $120 to fix the plumbing and make the kids go outside like dogs!!
"It's kind of illegal to deny someone due to children but of course it still happens. Can't say as I blame them."
ReplyDeleteIt's not illegal to limit the number of people in a home. There are maximum limits for rental properties that are legally enforced.
Even aside from the kids, she is responsible for damage, and regardless of who caused the extreme damage in the last house, she, the responsible party, never fixed things. The owner lost the house altogether because of her.
I think she should send her kids to live with the Duggars until she gets her shit together. They will at least learn self sufficiency instead of watching their mother make an ass of her selfish self every day.
ReplyDeleteThe only legal limits to the number of people in a house has to do with how many people can share a bedroom based on square footage (I think it's 50 feet/person?). I do believe a landlord can limit the number of people in a house, but not after the fact of rental and not based on the fact that there are children.
ReplyDeleteMany municipal codes limit the number of unrelated people living together but have no restrictions on number of related people living together.
In any case, I'm kind of chagrined to say that I feel kind of sorry for her. Yes, she made her own bed but she's trying to do better. I hope someone gives her break (and maybe imposes mandatory monthly inspections of the house with the ability to revoke the lease under certain conditions).
And whomever upthread basically said those kids look like starving kids in Africa...are you really serious? She may have many problems but those kids all appear healthy and well fed. Half of the kids aren't even looking at her or the food. One looks like he's hoping the photo shoot will be over soon so he can go play on the swing set.
Wasn't she telling Oprah and Suzie Orman she wouldn't do a show? My first thought was that she waswas thinking the kids would get taken away for sure. Even in the clips Oprah was showing they were all "if you feed them so healthy what was that can you were opening?". Then octo was like "no, that was just a quick dinner."
ReplyDeleteThen later when she would kill or at least celebrity box for a show the offers stopped because there is always a nut out there with more kids.
I don't blame people for not renting to her. I wouldn't. And I sure as hell would not want her and her litter moving in next door to me. Kids make a mess,even well behaved kids with parents who watch them still get into things. From what I've seen these kids are anything but well behaved. And I doubt she pays any attention to them unless there is a camera around. They could destroy a house faster than a termite infestation.
ReplyDeleteI don't care if it's California, Florida, or Idaho. Federal laws prohibits a property management company from discriminating against familiar status. Her family is a protected class. As long as she has a single family, she can not be denied a single family home. Even though 9000 people might have to share a bathroom..doesn't matter. I hope she is using a property management company or real estate agent. We are all bound by the Fair Housing Law.
ReplyDeleteHey, Nadya:
ReplyDeleteFair Housing Act
Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (Fair Housing Act), as amended, prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of dwellings, and in other housing-related transactions, based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status (including children under the age of 18 living with parents or legal custodians, pregnant women, and people securing custody of children under the age of 18), and handicap (disability).
Oh please. The reason they will not rent to her is due to her previous financial history. If she'd paid her rent on time and not destroyed a home, there would be no problem. A landlord, property management company CAN and should deny her rental based on her past history.
ReplyDeleteShe needs to be held accountable for her actions. You don't pay, you destroy property, then you don't get another one. People need to stop enabling her. Her parents did it for far too long.
I've worked at property management companies before and she would not qualify based on her income. She does not have a verifiable, continuous source of income right now. She has money left over from (fill in the blank) and she can pay her deposit and a few months in advance, but then what? Evictions can be very time consuming and expensive in California, on top of all the damage she and her kids could do to the house. Never mind how many kids she has, I'm sure the lack of income and her previous rental history were enough to disqualify her. There is no discrimination here.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Octotwat would qualify for some type of government housing loan, if she could get off the stripper pole long enough to do some research.
ReplyDeletePlease don't refer to these children as a "litter." They are eight 3-y-o individual kids with six elder siblings, the oldest of whom is around ten.
ReplyDeleteThey all have the potential to grow up and contribute to society some day. They didn't choose to be created, but they are here. As a society, we have to help these kids.
Imagine your household (if you have young children, are sane, and have a supportive, engaged spouse helping out.)
Now (a drink might help) imagine you are a single mother with no child support from the sperm donor, no visible source of income and are possibly a bit nutty, raising 14 children under ten years old.
These are 14 US children who can't possibly get enough attention with a single, questionably sane mom.
This shouldn't be about politics. It should be about the children and how their interests are best served.
I think public tax dollars should go to support the kids and ensure they are doing all the little-kids things they should be doing and learning how to do.
The simple stuff that any parent will tell you about, such as toilet training, brushing your teeth, tying your shoelaces, etc.
I cannot imagine what sort of life her oldest daughter lives.
This is a single mother who made a decision to defraud the state of CA and it's taxpayers. She ought to be in jail. She was offered lots of help but she blew it. Now she blows men for money. She chose to get a $500 haircut instead of fixing a toilet. This women is incredibly selfish. Deeming her mentally ill is an insult to all those who are truly mentally ill.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who feels up to it, should rent their property to her and take their chances. I feel sorry for the man whose home was foreclosed on due to her lack of financial responsibility.
She arranges a photo op of her kids dangling grapes in front of them like they're animals. Fuck you bitch. She's called her own children animals and she treats them as such. She doesn't give a damn about them. It's all for the cameras. A big, giant fuck you to this
bitch. She's unconscionable.
I just don't see how she can be denied for financial reasons if she is paying upfront.
ReplyDelete@Liz - congratulations on a most hateful and ungrammatical post. Learn how to use it's vs. its.
ReplyDeleteShe blows men for money. OOH, You know this how?
I really don't think this woman decided to defraud the CA taxpayers. I think she needed medical help with mental health issues and instead landed the worst fertility doctor in the world.
With six kids already and no father in sight, he should have sent her packing. Instead he implanted 12 fertilized embryos.
If she'd decided to abort them, would you have supported her decision or called it mass murder? I'm curious.
She's now a mother of 14 kids under ten. Are you willing to throw those children under the proverbial train because of bad decisions by the mother and the doctor?
That's a lot of kids. Are you one of those people who argue loudly for the right to life of a fetus, but then say, eff the child when it is born?
Jamie there is nothing wrong with my grammar, but I'm not one of those annoying people who go on blogs and try to correct grammar and spelling. Hateful? That label belongs to you.
ReplyDeleteShe's the one who went to the physician to get implanted by 3 embryos.
It's people like you who enable her. CA taxpayers should not have to support this irresponsible woman who made numerous false medical claims. Her history is well documented, but people like you choose to make excuses.
Instead of asking the taxpayers of CA to support her, why not start a fund/collection for her?
I would just point out that as long as the children are in her custody, you can't support the children without supporting her. I think that it takes someone pretty hard hearted to deny these children (who exist through no fault of their own) a decent life and existence because of their mother's choices. I'm curious as to how toddlers are supposed to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps.
ReplyDeleteI didn't choose to get implanted by 8 embryos with the hopes of getting a reality tv show. This was confirmed by her former publicist. I didn't endanger their lives, she did. Pretty, cold hearted.
ReplyDeleteI didn't selfishly defraud CA out of thousands of dollars of false medical claims. That fraud even underwent a tummy tuck after her last pregnancy. That's major surgery. Who was taking care of the kids? Did she care?
She was pregnant a total of 4 times. Who enabled her? Her parents.
Offering to have CA pay for her lack of financial responsibility is not fair to the taxpayers. I'm sure she would not object to a fund started in her honor.
Those children did not do any of those things either, they are innocent in all of this.
DeleteThey don't deserve to suffer for their mother's choices.
She's already defaulted on the last house...
ReplyDeleteLola - those children shouldn't have to suffer, and that's why they should be removed from her custody and supported by CA through the foster care system. Regardless of the faults of the system, at least the children would be supported and cared for, and the money wouldn't be going directly to her. It's not a black and white issue.
ReplyDeleteI just wish some of the children at least...or maybe all of them...would go to stable homes. She simply cannot raise them all.
ReplyDeletePer Lola, the children don't deserve to suffer because of their birthing unit's choices.
ReplyDeleteNo child should. Yet millions of kids suffer every day because their parents choose to do drugs, drink, smoke, become gang members, dealers or commit other crimes. These children suffer financially, emotionally and physically. So please tell me why Octoho's children should be spared from her bad choices just because they were born by the litter-ful. Her kids deserve no more than any other kid out there. And it's HER job to provide it for them, not society's.
