    Jesus do we even own our own property anymore?
  • People need a affordable place to live smh and then in some states being homeless is illegal. If they not don't anything criminal or disturbing the peace, leave them alone
  • @bmaiceman
    I'm confused. If he owned this house He can rent the rooms to whomever the hell he wants!!!!!! It's his house. And the way this economy is Everyone these days needs to have room mates to servive.
  • @Utriedit215
    It’s his home he can do whatever he wants
  • that's pretty funny, 10 renters paying someone to live in that house and the city can't even figure out who owns it!
  • @romanogold82
    I’ve always wondered about the logistics of the “PadSplit” model when it comes to city zoning ordinances.
  • @kp6215
    What is pad split because never heard about in California owned several houses.
  • That's why some people need to mind their own business worry about where you pay Bills not about someone elses property get a life people
  • @evewatson3329
    Sounds like a $1,000 office party on the court dates are in the future.
  • @Yosef9438
    You guys are sick for trying to ruin this man's life for this. This is what you call investigative journalism? Really pathetic.
  • @bksson2818
    Of courselive and direct from bumsville Zestville Gaytl ATL Georgia. This city is a joke.
  • @user-nq1vs4ss9x
    I just lost a lot of respect for WSB! If the city officials did not bother showing up in court and unless the house is a magnet for violent crime, drug dealing, vice, or other nuisance, the case should be thrown out - not the renters - who could end up on the street in our housing market.

    This is exactly why I will not be voting for Mr.Dickens again.The city of Atlanta has complete disfunction in almost all city departments! The city "code enforcement is a complete joke and along with the city courts . They don't seem to care about the quality of life in our neighborhoods at all or enforcement of anything. What I've seen is just as she stated no accountability of anything should be the city's motto.
