They should have paid their rent.
It is interesting that you posted that Barr destroyed evidence.
Where is your proof, Rarely Right Walter?
Walt's been wrong so many times it isn't worth repeating.
They should not pay rent on an apartment they were not allowed access to. The landlord was selling the building, and told them to leave the illegal apartment before the end of the month. They reasonably agreed, but also reasonably asked to pay only for the part of the month they were allowed to stay. The landlord demanded rent for time he would not be renting the apartment.

Besides, blackmail is not acceptable, even when rent is not paid. It is not acceptable even when a crime is committed. What is worse, saying you will turn in someone for a murder they did not commit if you do not get paid, or saying you will turn in someone for a murder they did commit if you do not get paid?
Indeed but I enjoy reminding him.
He posted that Barr destroyed evidence with no proof.
Barr should sue.
Rent is paid by the month (in most cases). Refunds for a few days early exit are rare.They should not pay rent on an apartment they were not allowed access to.

WTF does murder have to do with paying rent?
See, Rarely Right Walter, there’s that loss of self-control…again.
Stop acting like a child on the playground. Use some self-discipline.
Stop whining and get over the election loss…Rarely Right Walter.
The landlord sold the house. They were forcing the renters to leave a few days early. Renters should not have to pay rent for days they did not get an apartment.
The landlord threatened to report the tenets for a crime. That is called blackmail, whether they are guilty or not of the crime.
Since you are emphatic towards illegals, perhaps they could come and live with you, Rarely Right Walter…rent free.
Read my response in the post you quoted!
If they were committing a crime, there should be no problem.
If you know someone is a murderer, and threaten to report him, if he does not pay you money, at the very least you are guilty of blackmail. You could also be considered guilty of being a coconspirator, but that is a bit more of a stretch.
There is no protection for threatening someone with blackmail.
If someone is guilty of murder and you tell them to pay you to shut up, chances are, they will pay and you'll shut up. Or, they'll just shut you up...
Blackmail is a crime.
Yes, there is.
Blackmail can occur during a discussion, so there may be a lack of evidence. If there is a lack of physical evidence, such as letters or text messages, this can be a defense and grounds for dismissal.
