[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just an FYI for those of you considering becoming landlords around here, and for filthy tenants.

I just had a family move out of one of my properties due to lease non-renewal. I had seen enough damage done to the property while they lived there that it wasn’t worth the rental income. I do quarterly walkthroughs.

I pulled all of the appliances out of the kitchen and found multiple sticky spills that were never cleaned and some type of food crumbs behind and inside of all of the appliances. The oven was such a mess that I had to throw it out. The sticky liquid and crumbs had fallen where they could not be cleaned safely. The interior of the refrigerator was filled with a sticky liquid that they had tried to clean but it had already seeped into the seams of the shelves so they had to be thrown out.

I also found dead roaches in these areas. The property had been treated which is why they were dead.

Tenants- your filth is your problem, not your property manager’s. This place is more disgusting than a frat house.

I'm a landlord, too, and you've got to be kidding me.

Some crumbs??

Sticky spots (that they even tried to clean?!?)

A few roaches behind appliances??

How old was the stove you had to throw away in the first place?

How on earth did you not recoup your money from their deposit?

You definitely aren't cut out to be a landlord.

This sounds like troll bait to me and if it's not, you should get out of the landlord business and get into AirBnB's.

Short term rentals are far more appropriate for someone with such ridiculously high expectations and overwhelming control issues.

BTW, don't bring this to court, the judge will laugh you out of the courtroom.

Signed, 
Landlord of 18 years.

Nah. There’s no way in hail I’m staying in an Airbnb with roaches[/quote]
