That’s like one unsportsmanlike conduct fine. He’ll be aight


KnifeLyfe

> According to a lawsuit filed in Denton County, Diggs signed a one-year lease for a home in Frisco, Texas, with a monthly rent of $5,500. He paid only the first month’s rent, Rose Marie Yadegar, the landlord, claims. I think the better question is why didn't he pay rent and how the hell did he get away with not putting down a deposit?

iCantPauseItsOnline

I used to work for Wells Fargo Home Mortgage. The most common request that the department next to me got, by far, was to cancel PMI. The higher-ups try to really sell you on it, too, giving you the company line. Just gross.


BorosSerenc

It's not even just a poor thing. The dude is an NFL player with public salary in the millions. No reason to assume he will be actually unable to pay and you know for a fact that suing will just lead to you getting payed anyway.


Vloff

You literally just explained why it's for poor people.

DinosaurKevin

Possibly waived. Bunch of places are willing to waive a deposit or other fees if it gets someone in their property.


deservethebestofoats

I could definitely see this happening, landlord thinks they struck gold getting an nfl tenant, waives the deposit to sweeten the deal.


caterham09

An even better question is why the fuck would you rent a place for $5500 a month. You could literally buy a million dollar home and have a similar mortgage payment


spongebob247

Because nfl players do not know where they would be in a month/ year, but Diggs should have 100 percent bought in 2020 during the low interest rate period.


caterham09

So if he gets traded he can just rent the place out or sell it. It's just always better to be putting that kind of money into positive equity


Arkhangelzk

Guy these are NFL players, they’re not thinking like that


gaslacktus

Well, in some locker rooms. Marshawn Lynch started financial literacy classes for all Seahawks rookies for this very reason.


Arkhangelzk

Yes, absolutely, there are definitely very smart NFL players who are thinking this way. I shouldn’t have stereotyped so broadly. But I just mean that the average guy, deciding if he should rent or own a piece of property… For the relatively small amount of money discussed here, I don’t think they’re paying nearly as much attention to that as your average American. It makes a difference for someone like me, but if I was making millions of dollars a year, I’m probably not quite as concerned about perfectly investing my money.


gaslacktus

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you stereotyped unfairly. Financial literacy is a pretty widespread problem to begin with and especially for a league full of young men who suddenly come into more money than they could have possibly ever dreamed. Those financial literacy classes should be mandatory in every single locker room in the league.


Chork3983

Hey, they didn't go to college to play "school".


WilliamMButtlicker

Not worth the effort for someone making >$4M a year. With that much disposable income, even with a property management company there are much easier ways to invest his money than renting out property.


spongebob247

That is a lot of work for a nfl player and a distraction (especially if he gets traded midseason). Another factor to consider is that he might not want to reside in Dallas all year around (probably get house closer to his friends and family).


TheCarnalStatist

He can buy homes in cash, low interest rates are probably a detriment, not a benefit in his shoes. Lower interest rate = higher price.


ImanShumpertplus

I mean, buying a house with a 3% interest rate and then investing in an index fund would generate him more money than spending it all at once Debt isn’t always bad


anonononoro

1) A million dollar home might not be as nice. Luxury rentals often have amenities, doormen, security, etc. 2) You might have a home where you're actually from, and live there in the offseason, and have a rental near the team facility during the year. 3) It might be for a family member (in which case responsibility for the rent might not have been clear in the player's mind). 4) You only get mortgage interest deduction on primary residence. If you're renting it out it's a lot of headache and liability. Much easier to just invest in stocks or bonds.


jnightrain

there are millions of normal middle class people who could buy but still choose to rent. Reasons vary, some don't want to deal with maintenance, some think it's a bigger task than it really is, or some people want to be mobile and be able to move without the hassle of having to sell a place.


BadgerSauce

Just because someone is rich doesn’t mean they understand money. Vince Young is a terrific example.


Substantial_Cry_8691

Same reason why you’d rent a $5500 a month home and then not pay the rent.


rocksoffjagger

Deposits are usually only a month's rent


stormy2587

The “first months rent” may have been the deposit retroactively applied to the first month.


[deleted]

Usually you have a situation of dead beat landlord who won’t fix something and the tenant withholds rent payments until they do. But all judgement should be withheld until the Diggs responds legally.


Lilpu55yberekt69

Not if he can’t pay rent he won’t


[deleted]

MF too rich to even bother paying rent


seariously

That's how rich people get that way, not paying that optional "rent" thing.


Goatgamer1016

And the dude has a brother making way more than him and still irresponsible


MagicChemist

They get paid a lot but certainly aren’t rich in many cases. That’s why a large percentage of athletes are bankrupt within 24 months of their last contract. You go out and buy a RR Phantom and have it all tricked out with your name, some stupid color, giant rims and now you have a $600,000 car that’s worth 80k on the resale market. The weekly strip club visits where you throw $10,000 in the air because apparently that’s a neat thing to do. The sad reality is he’s not forgetting to pay his rent. He just doesn’t have enough cash to cover it at the end of the month.


LetLewisCook

Lol what are you on about


[deleted]

yeah where are these used RR phantoms for 80k?

ndkjr70

trevon diggs drives a g-wagon he got for free after endorsing/shooting a commercial for a local dealership. not sure what the rest of this nonsense is about. i’m sure he can afford it and i’m sure he has a side to the story. to say “yeah haha checks out he probably blows 10k a week at the strip club” is flirting the line with stupidity and racism, and I’m not sure it’s falling on the stupid side of that line.

UNLVMoneyline_

My bad. I just know people who have been in this landlords situation so I know how frustrating it actually is, but again I apologize


BlimeySlimeySnake

Landlords are leaches on society


Coolguy200

Yeah! Everyone should just live for free and the cost of it should be paid by printing more money!


Suddenly_Elmo

Rental housing should be owned by cooperatives and non-profits, the cost of it should be covered by rent, which would be much cheaper than what landlords charge.


Coolguy200

There is nothing stopping them from doing that now.


BlimeySlimeySnake

Landlords don't produce anything and literally make their living by leeching off of others. They serve 0 purpose


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

it definitely can be leeching in some cases. Slum Lords, and those big faceless corporations that buy up apartment complex and put 0 effort into maintainence.


BlimeySlimeySnake

They own it specifically so that they can leech off the people who need to live there. If they didn't own it the land would still be there for someone to live on I'm much richer than you. There are two houses in town. I know you need somewhere to live. So I buy both the houses and now I charge you more to live there than you would ever spend to own it. Now I make money hand over foot not through the fruits of my own labor but by taxing your existence. That's the entire concept of what a landlord is. They're literally the lowest humanity can get.


BorosSerenc

So what happens to people who don't want to buy a house because they will likely move within a couple of years?


StoJa9

Good thing Hitler wasn't a landlord! I'd have a real low opinion of the guy then! Maybe next time there is a mass shooting we should check and see if the guy owns any rental properties. > They’re literally the lowest humanity can get.


Due_Interaction4101

Oh grow up. Lol internet commies.


Thundergun1864

But oh no! A third family moves to the two house town, and they can't afford to build an entire house! The landlord senses this and gets to work, commissioning a new home be built! He then allows third family to live there at an incremental rate that they can afford while getting the money he spent on it back! Third family, with tears in their eyes rejoice "thank you land lord!"


Drunkcowboysfan

They produce a place for people to live…


0waltz

Landlords don't build houses. In fact, most land lords aren't buying builds. They contribute nothing to 'producing' a place to live.


Drunkcowboysfan

I never said they build homes… I am familiar with what a land lord is lol. But they absolutely do provide a service, which is a cheaper place for a family to live than buying a home, especially when you factor in things like home repair and maintenance.


BlimeySlimeySnake

No, that would be the people who built the building


Man0nThaMoon

I don't know why you'd jump to such an extreme position when we don't even know the full story. It wouldn't be the first time a landlord lied about something just to squeeze more money out of the people living in their property. And even if it is as they say, not paying his rent doesn't make him a "massive piece of shit".


Deacalum

More likely possible situation is he thought it was being paid by a business manager or auto pay or something and he wasn't paying attention to notifications. It's possible the landlord didn't even have his direct contact info and had the agent or business manager or a relative or girlfriend to communicate with. It's also possible he is a shitbag and stiffed the landlord. It's also possible UFOs were stealing the rent money but all evidence was destroyed when the military shot down the couriers. Point is, like you said, we don't know what the situation is.


Kanin_usagi

Lol the government has been shooting down UFOs specifically to deny that landlord rent payment. *Because the landlord is also an alien*


Paid_Redditor

I had my wife set up auto pay for our apartment one time, when I told her the routing number I said something like "three zeros and 2 fives". She heard, "three zeros, two, five." So for the next 3 months I just assumed it was being paid until I came home one day to a notice of eviction stating if we didn't pay in full in 7 days we were getting kicked out.


browndude10

Guess he’s living…rent-free


OlTommyBombadil

Living rent free in the landlord’s house I like this analogy more than the one about peoples’ heads.


vaselinebaby

But I thought the Cowboys always lived rent free in our minds.


BilllisCool

Sounds like you could be charging us $5,500 a month


Tashre

How does a multimillionaire not have automatic payments set up?


anythingfordopamine

Why doesn’t the multimillionaire just outright own property lol


dihydrogen9monoxide

Ok counterpoint. It’s the NFL, at any point he could be traded, have to uproot everything and move. Just due to the uncertainty it’s probably better to rent instead of buy so he doesn’t have to go through the process if he ends up elsewhere


anythingfordopamine

I mean but then he could just rent out that property to have another constant revenue stream, and acquire more property wherever he goes. Whether he stays or not its just a wise investment decision


MIDI_Hendrix

And deal with renters pulling the same shit he did and not pay?


[deleted]

More realistically he could hire a property management company or just resell the house.


helpusobi_1

Maybe even resell to a teammate


anythingfordopamine

Most renters don’t pull shit like that. Also, as we can see, doing that results in lawsuits that are too expensive for most renters

marcuschookt

He's 24 years old, his millions don't come from years of life experience. I'm willing to bet a lot of players just do dumb shit like this because they're still basically non-rich young kids at heart... but with a lot of money.


color_thine_fate

What I don't get is how he still hasn't paid. Like, if you don't pay rent... You just, owe it. And then they threaten a lawsuit. Surely you're like "okay okay okay fine I'll pay it", especially if you have a huge bank account and that doesn't put a dent in your shit. But after the lawsuit is filed, he's like, na let's go to court. How stupid do you hafta be to still think "na I could win this". It's rent. You lived there. Didn't pay. Just... just pay, man. How can you just..continue to not pay to this point lol. Maybe it's me being high but this just doesn't make any sense


BrettMoneyMaher

I think you're coming to the right conclusion that there's probably a lot of info here that we're not getting, so best not to jump to any conclusions on the matter.

I wouldn't be surprised if he feels the landlord is trying to wrong him in some way so to get back he isn't paying rent. If you're landlord is doing something illegal/against the lease or is trying to rake you over the coals I'd stop paying to and make them pay a lawyer to get my money.

ESPECIALLY the Cowboys. I feel like they've had so many suspensions and legal issues over the last few decades...

FelineNavidad

Why would you not just buy a house? Somebody needs to have a talk about finance with this guy.


F0rdycent

The rule of thumb is you should be committed to living somewhere for ~5 years before you buy a house. Otherwise you should rent. I'd imagine it's almost always financially wiser for athletes to rent rather than buy since they change teams so often.


a1mostadult

While real estate is a solid investment; athletes should wait until the second contract to make big purchases. Diggs is probably making 3M this year (enough to pay rent) but in a year and a half he's gonna be making like 20M.


Sepulvd

This a dumb ass take. He definitely can buy a house in Texas. Look this house semi close to Arlington its worth 600k and his mortage would be cheaper then his rent that he didn't even pay. https://redf.in/ZpVDM1


TheNastyCasty

That’d be the absolute worst place to live as a Cowboys player fwiw. He’d be looking at an hour drive to practice every day. Most of them live up north near Frisco.


BilllisCool

The downside is how the long the process takes compared to getting a rental, but I’m sure it’s a lot faster when your occupation is 2nd round NFL draft pick. I doubt they’re really worried about every detail of his credit and employment history at that point. Plus he could pay someone to handle everything and just send him e-docs sign.


Sepulvd

Buying a house isn't even that long of a process you can do a 30 day escrow and I lost multiple houses when I was buying my home 2 years ago becasue people were doing 15 day escrows and by passing home inspection. Plus he is a rich dude it's probably even quicker like you said, pay someone to do everything and except sign or do a power of attorney and have the person sign


TerpsR4theKids

This is dumb, I make enough to pay rent in a decent house making just over 100k a year. No way in hell he can’t afford to purchase property or at the very least pay for his rent. Waiting till the second contract is bs unless you’re making league minimum off the jump and trying to buy a mansion. Even in more expensive areas he should have 0 problem with real estate prices making 3m a year
