The Landlords From Hell Plead Guilty And Will Serve Four Years In Prison: This Couple Allegedly Cut Holes On The Floor While The Tenant Was In Room

The landlords from hell plead guilty to two felony counts of residential burglary, one felony count of stalking and one felony count of attempted grand theft and will serve four years and four months in prison.

Kip Macy, 38, and his wife, Nicole Macy, 37, are the landlords from hell, which is a nickname they received for what they did as landlords in San Francisco from 2005-2007. Six years later, the two will now serve over four years in prison for what they allegedly did to their tenants.

The landlords from hell allegedly purchased a semi-automatic handgun, threatening to shoot the building manager, changing locks, cutting phone lines, shutting off utilities, removing a victims' belongings from their apartment and destroying them, multiple burglaries and threatening letters to victims are some of what the Macys did as landlords, according to the Associated Press.

"The actions of these defendants are so outlandish and brazen that it sounds like the plot line of a horror movie," district attorney George Gascon said in a statement. "This case shows you, you cannot flee this country and avoid the consequences of your actions. These defendants will be held fully accountable for their crimes."

They allegedly created a false e-mail account in order to fire the landlord of a former tenant they were in civil court against, pretending to be the tenant. Then they allegedly used the same e-mail account, pretending to be the tenant again, threatening to "kidnap and dismember the attorney's children," the DA's office said.

"The defendants also cut multiple sections out of the joists below the victim's floors, in an apparent attempt to make the floor collapse while people were standing on it," the DA's office wrote in a news release. "Before cutting the joists, Nicole Macy had asked a Department of Building Inspector which beam she would need to cut to make the building structurally unsound in order to red tag the building and order all tenants out."

Lisa DewBerry, the attorney for Kip Macy denied that he participated in cutting the support beams.

"He and his wife were naive when coming to a town like San Francisco, to try and do what they wanted to do, not realizing how tough the landlord-tenant laws are here," DewBerry told ABC News' San Francisco affiliate KGO-TV. "They're not saying that their behavior was appropriate. They regret their behavior."

When the couple was charged originally with felonies in 2008, they ran away to Italy. It wasn't until May of 2012 that they were taken into custody there and extradited back to the U.S. this past May.

They will officially be sentenced to prison on Aug. 22.
