LANDLORDS WORST NIGHTMARE DEC 22 2011

- I go to my rental property to collect the overdue rent and find the place vacant. The tenant has skipped and the property is destroyed and flea infested This damage is done by a mother, son and her pregnant daughter whom I have helped over the past few years. This property was completly renovated 3 years ago. I gave them reduced rent to help them out in turn she was to to be a long term tenant and take good care of my property Notice the bathroom downstairs.They were using the bathtub as a toilet. She was known to be a dirtbag. I learned too late.
this is why good tenants have to pay twice what they should in rent. landlords have to make up for the losses these scumbags cause.
People who do this sort of thing(trashing a rental) naked me so angry because not only are the destroying it but making it harder fir others who are clean and tidy to rent, because the landlords can't trust anyone new to move in.sickening pigs.
You are so right. The days of trust are long running out.
+Jennifer D Why do we need to know that you're naked?
really? that's your comeback? Obviously I typed "make" in wrong. :P
Jennifer D And obviously, you never fixed your mistake. I merely pointed it out without being insulting you, so lighten the hell up already geesh.
ok sounds good. and btw I don't feel the need to fix it, nobody's perfect, whatever.
This guy sounds like a decent man, he placed a lot of brand new things in his house and the people just tore it up and trashed it. so sad. I mean the guy can't even say the word sh*t, for goodness sakes. Poor man.
I can't understand why or how people can live like that their sick selfish people. it's bad enough to live so filthy but to destroy someone elses property, GOOD LORD! I felt so bad for this landlord. How disappointing to put so much into something and have some self absorbed jerks not respect it. It's people like that that makes it hard on us good tenets. That's one of the top two reasons for high rent. What else can a person do, just eat it? Sad, so sad.
I consider myself quite messy (because I'm lazy), but even then I keep it in my own
But even then it's mostly just clothes on the floor or not put Away, notebooks and sketchbooks in a corner, and MAYBE the occasional pencil or marker. Other wise I get super paranoid about food left out and other things.
Well I had house that I rented that I put about 1000 into to make it safe/more habitable and I wasnt reimbursed by the slimebag owner. i also had an apartment that was PERFECT when I left it. I had even shampooed the carpets before I left... they were cleaner than when I moved in (had to shampoo them right after I moved in too because they did such a crappy job on it) and they still charged me a $75.00 cleaning fee. Not all landlords are great either.
+lambchopxoxo I've had a couple slum lords too. I feel your pain.
+lambchopxoxo I had to deal with a slum landlord for about 15 years, when i moved out i wasn't able to clean it really well so when i put him down as a reference he made sure to give me a horrible reference so i couldn't get the place.he did me a favor because i ended up moving in with my folks and helping them.
+lambchopxoxo seems the laws always help the crook regardless of which side they are on :(. I hear people crapping about "tenants have all the laws on their side blah blah" yet we've been through shitty landlords in a house that was leaking through light fixtures, toilet was leaking sewage around the down pipe etc and we got kicked out with a "no reason" eviction for taking them to the tribunal just to get them to fix the place. Then they started bad mouthing us afterward until we threatened legal action.
+lambchopxoxo you probably agreed to the 75$ fee in your lease.
+lambchopxoxo Every tenet is charged a $75 cleaning fee. No matter how clean you make it look.
Most people who input their own time and effort to make a property more liveable/attractive never see the return. Lesson learned.
I was watching the destruction left by the pregnant woman, daughter & son. I was BLOWN away, but when u got 2 the basement bathroom, I began to Cry! I Feel For You!!!! I don't even understand how that much filth is possible! Especially with the furnace filter! I'll say a prayer for you!
Just a little bump in the road of life. Clean up and move on. Thank you for your kind thoughts. God bless yo.
Don't you think it would have been a good idea if he had done a yearly inspection? How do you rent a property and never go back and check up on it?
Kizski Crowley thank you he is my grandpa.
You know what makes me so angry about this? I would seriously LOVE to rent a house. I want a house So badly but I can't afford it. I would treat a house so well, but these people don't appreciate it and TRASH the place. ugh.
Wow people dont no how lucky they are to be able to rent a house like that..im sorry this happend to you.you didnt deserve that ....
I agree with so many homeless families out there u would think that people wouldn't do this.
I wish In ri they had nice places like that
I could never be a landlord. I'd have gone to jail for beating the shit out of someone who left my property like that. And ignore the idiot who thinks you are in the wrong. I've rented many times. I own now. I did my best to keep things clean and I fixed problems that were within my skill set to fix. But I kept a list and I showed them. Problem is, the last landlady I had was psycho. I was busy with a job and sick kid so I hired a cleaning company to come in and finish the cleaning I didn't have time to do. She and her husband verbally abused them so bad, the crew leader told them to "F*** off" and walked out. So glad to be away from that loon.
i like the bit in the bathroom...."oops, i thought that was a turd... but its not" LOL
Have an excellent tenant now. Keeps the place clean and tidy. Very responsible single working mom. Thanks.
How's things since hope all is well
I thought the refrigerator was bad until he showed that basement bathtub! What in the hell?!
Oh, that's like a daily thing you see where I work. *shrugs* I see the interior of some properties that make this one look clean.
Sarah Norment Maybe the actually owner should clean the shit up instead of taking videos and giving us a life review of the tenants? Why are the neighbors subjected to this, he says "6-8months this has been here" (garbage can) but in the description he claims he just showed up and found it like this, like he had no idea, yet he knows the womans business.
fridaykiss you can tell whether garbage has been sitting and rotting for months or if it is new. He is probably doing this video for evidence for court.
fridaykiss he says i wonder how long this has been here, 6 to 8 months?
Sarah Norment they shat in it, multiple times it looks like. So disgusting. How do people live among live shit?
I have some excellent long term tenants who are on disability or social assistance and they are happy with their accommodations and I have never given them a rent increase. I figure they should be rewarded for taking good care of my property as I have minimal expenses so we all benefit. Glad to see that you are also happy and appreciate having a good landlord. LOL
This is actually fairly typical, on the dirtier side of general wear and tear. If you're really really bothered by this, and think you'll find your rentals in brand-new condition, you're in the wrong business. Stop your whining. You are lucky its not worse.
I agree
agreed with this... last year I moved out of an apartment I was in for ~12 years.. it looked slightly cleaner than this... holes in the walls, stains on the carpets that the office never replaced or even bothered shampooing (one shampoo per year as per lease agreement).. even a huge 4'x3' section of wall behind the fridge that maintenance cut out to fix a leak and never patched up because the fix was temporary and the finishing touches were never completed.
According to the description, it's concluded this was a 3yr lease, with multiple tenants.. So it's not all that surprising to see 10 yrs worth of damage.. Besides, isn't this why tenants are asked for a security deposit upfront?
Amen.
*****
Frankly that tub looks like the plumbing backed up, which is actually the landlord's responsibility. And yes, carpet and paint can look worn after three years and three tenants. That did not look like the kind of place where they'd be likely to be able to regularly steam clean.
I lived in a place for 18 years and there wasn't poop in the tub. The carpet was like flat, a single iron burn, no dirt ground and caked in..not normal at all. I can understand the wall scuffs, corner scuffs, tings like that, but they had a carpet cleaner and didn't use it? WTF? That place what was you call, unacceptable.
Do random inspections. 24 hour notice. When I was a tenant I didn't mind that. A good tenant won't have a problem with that. But a bad one will. Take pictures before and after also.
*****
Well it's not illegal where I live.I was a renter for years. I own my own house now, and have for the last year. I would wand access to the house for inspection 3 times a year if I was to rent mine out. 24 hours notice. Nothing wrong with that at all. Now that I'm a home owner I have a right to make sure the property is safe. Guess what us owners have right too.
*****
What home owner would let the roof even get to that point? And if the house catches on fire we have insurance to fix it. On my policy I have a guaranteed rebuild.
*****
I looked it up and what does it have to do with the roof or repair? The tenant was a filthy pig. If it were her house she would keep it that way. Your argument has no merritt.
I dont understand you guys..That shit didnt happen overnight-Why wait so long to bring down the hammer?
Thomas Langley bc unfortunately nice people try to not only trust but in addition help undeserving assholes like them..that's the worst part.. kindness of his heart reduced their rent..that's what ghetto disrespectful gutter trash does to nice people...no conscious nor respect oh and let's forget to mention completely disrespectful and not accountable for their actions..wow their mom is freaking loser
My daughter rents. Her landlord inspects every month. I appreciate her landlord. I'd be furious if I encountered this. Wow.
So the landlord never entered this property after a lease was signed? Huge mistake. I wonder how this landlord "helped" the pregnant daughter and if the rent was reduced for the entire time they were living there. I can't speak for other parts of the world or other states but in PA a landlord has every right to make 6 month inspections, one month inspections or weekly if necessary. I'm not that surprised at the condition considering the reduced rent and whatever way he was helping. People look past good intentions and take advantage of the kindness. Sad but true.
You sound so nice and kind. I'm sorry you had to deal with uncaring people
That's cause he's Canadian.
He's my grandpa (no joke)
It all comes down to values. When you work and struggle to make it through life you appreciate the little things like clean comfortable accommodations. I am not some rich landlord I came from a poor family and just worked hard to make a better life for my kid and grand children. With your attitude I am quite certain that you are thankful for what you have . Things can always be better so thank your Lord every day for what you do have and your reward will be just in the end. LOL
The stuff of nightmares. This is precisely why I'd never go into the rental business. You'd end up burning money rather than making any.
Whoever lived here is CLEARLY unfit to raise a baby. The state (or province in your country) should have more power to remove children from filthy homes like this.
Holy shit! My birth place!!! When I clicked this video I never expected to hear "good old London Ontario!" :D
3 days before Xmas too... :( What a bummer!!!
5 packs a day!?! At Canadian prices??? That is almost $10 a pack, $50 a day... $350 a week, $1400 a month, FML! Who pays for her habit? Christ, she could make entire HOUSE PAYMENTS for that amount of money a month!?! WOW! -.-
And you discounted her rent? God, my fellow Canucks are so kind, even to people who clearly do not deserve it!!! Keep being you good sir, makes me proud to be from that area! Taking this bullshit, with a grain of salt... I would be much more irritated. **Good form!**
My father was a landlord in the tall white apartments with the teal balconies (used to be teal, anyways.) The apartments that are close to Larry's pool hall (
I honestly feel bad for the owner.
I would make sure that the contract one would have to sign would include something that would make the previous owners that where about to move out clean everything from top to bottom.
I mean.... This is insane.
Before you ever take tenants into your house, always look at their cars FIRST.
If their car is in filth, then expect them to treat your house in much the same way as their car.
If their car is crammed full with junks, then expect them to be HOARDERS FROM HELL.
If their car has lot of scratches and dents, broken side mirrors, etc, then expect them to break your furnitures, electrical applicances, etc.
If you see them scratching themselves a lot, then be cautious of them in case they might have scabies by being unwashed for long.
RC Geraghty this is ridiculous. I know a lot of people who have messy cars and their house is spotless and, have messy homes and a spotless car. Also, someone scratching themselves could have eczema or another skin condition that isn't scabies (not that scabies means a dirty person). Very judgemental comment.
My brother keeps his car spotless but is a total slob in the house. So there is that.
There's also the fact that some people's car is messy and filled with stuff is because they are currently living in it and are trying to get a place to move out of it.
this is the dumbest post I've ever seen lmao! my husband's truck is a disaster inside and out because it's a WORK TRUCK! In the house he's cleaner than I am. you can't judge people ESPECIALLY in the condition of the outside of their car(broken mirrors and such) maybe it was like that at purchase and it's all they could afford or perhaps a recent accident??! stupid a hole!
RC Geraghty and if they're too perfect keep an eye out cuz somethin aint right lol
I know I am not the most perfect person in the world. But i do try to keep my apt. clean
A little untidiness is fine but dirt is a no-no. Cleanliness is next to Godliness.
When he said "Let's go downstairs" I literally said "No please don't."
I now go one step further. Upon reviewing and checking out their application I just drop in out of the blue at their residence. I apologize saying that I was in the neighborhood. If the place is clean I tell them I,v accepted their application. If dirty I tell them I have rented the place but since I was in the neighborhood I,d pop in and let them know. It,s working.
Regardless of the outcome, know that you are a kind and gentle person and have helped a family out. I would be honoured to have you as a landlord. I hope your property has been fixed and have rented it out to a more mature, clean family.
If it were that simple what a wonderful world we would all live in.
Bet that security deposit will cover damages....NEVER, NEVER would I be a owner of rental property!!!!!!!!
Set it on FIRE and collect insurance money and sell land!
@ opolara 1I just found your channel. Ive been a renter all my life Im in my early 50s. I have never left any of the places I rented like those I have seen. I live in Canada but heard that in England Landlords are allowed to do a walkthru of the places they rent every 6 months. Wish they would have it in other countries. My heart goes out to you seem like a a real landlord who is kind
My dad worked as a handyman and was called to so many destroyed rental properties and the stories he would tell are astounding, this is truly sickening.
My question is why do people rent out houses for years and never check to see of they are being taken care of yet are angry and surprised to find shit like that.
Nowadays it's hard to find homes for rent. I feel so bad that this happened to you. So many inconsiderate people in this world. They never learned that you leave a place better than what it was.
My Heart goes out to you! How is that filth even possible! When you hit the downstairs bathroom tub, I began to cry I really feel for you!! I'm thinking of renting my beautiful home and now you make me really think twice thanks for the lesson!
Just finished watching a video where there was a mound 5 foot high of human shit covering the toilet, Could of been worse.
just came from the same video. fucking disgusting.
I literally gagged after seeing that shit tower
Same :/
lol i saw it too
same
As a landlord, are you allowed to write up a renters contract that allows for you to come into the home 1 per month for inspection regardless of if the tenant is home or not as long as it is an agreed upon date such as the 1st of every month? That way the tenants will be well aware and can make plans for someone to be home and if someone is not home, the tenant would still be aware. That way the landlord can’t just show up unannounced but will still be able to maintain their property
2 friends of mine had tennats like that, 1 used their whole house as a toilet, city condemned it, the other friend had a tennant who adopted a bunch of cats, they hauled out 16 garbage bags full of used cat litter that was months old, after she left in the night, my tennants left me 16 truck loads of garbage, a contaminated well, ruined furnace and water pump, as well as ruined flooring and walls.
Sick, lazy people live like this.
I have several long term tenants in this position and I to have no problems with the. They are hard to come by around here and when I find them they usually have some garbage hanger- ons mouching off them. Thanks for your comment.
This is awful...you seem like a nice man to me...I may have been a little more angry as I walked through this!! I feel sad that you are left with this. We have just started our hand as a landlord this year and it really is an adventure...nobody ever treats your place as well as you would. I can only pray someday these people will get the experience of feeling how they made you feel....I hope somebody does something equal to them. Shame on them! Filth!
Given some of the other videos posted by landlords on UA-cam, I'd say you should consider yourself relatively lucky. No dead and decaying animals, no piles of feces or garbage covering the floors, no major structural damage to the building... not bad! More dirt and repairs than you were hoping for, no doubt, but completely salvageable!
amazing how everything was brand new before they moved in. hmm. I worked for a company that has about 30 rental properties. they made money no matter how they left the place. they also sold every that got left behind
I don't have any run down houses in bad neighborhoods just had some ungrateful abusive tenants that have caused us to loose so much money that we can longer afford to hold on to some of them. The real losers are the very people we we trying to help. Thanks for your kind comments.
I love your sense of humor, ❤️😊 you're calm cool and collective. Your wife and family must be proud I know I would I salute you sir
I know that feeling all too well. I own a mobile home where the lady I rented to had 2 daughters under the age of 10. she was intermittant on rent for a few months but I knew she was struggling so I didnt worry about it too much. after going 2 months without rent I went to go down the the trailer and it was trashed about like this. left her dogs inside which dug up the wood floor in the dining room, urinated and crapped everywhere, flea infested, garbage everywhere, and both toilets filled.
that's why you always inspect the home once a month. Do it every time you collect rent. Sorry man... :(
Exactly! And they lived there for a few years ( based on what he was saying) so I'm sure he had many chances to look in on them, plus that carpet looked cheap so not surprised there
Deana Watkins i thought the carpet and sinks looked cheap too, but they did get it pretty dirty. he should watch hoarding, tho, if he thinks this is bad, right?
kate weiss Oh yeah... Some of those people make this look like a walk in the park!! Mean wouldn't the smell alone seep out of the house and become more noticeable?
once a month? If my landlord needed to check my place every month I would not live there. every 6 months to a year.
A landlord can't inspect once a month. Tenants are protected and have the right to "quiet enjoyment" and privacy.
It's sad; you seem like a very compassionate man and landlord. We just got out of an extremely abusive situation with an out of control landlord; it was so stressful we ended up needing some mental health help. No matter what we did for this woman, she would constantly berate us, abuse us, and accuse us of stealing her stuff. We finally moved because the rent was out of control. She is now struggling to sell her house, and I am glad; the neighborhood is going downhill quick. We miss the house :(
And that's why I don't want to deal with renters, I'd rather just sell my property and avoid the headache. I came close to renting it out in the past.
I have 4 rental property's. This thank the good lord has never happened to any of my property's. Because of my rules. rule 1, never rent to section8. rule 2, never rent to a smoker, rule3 never any pets...Here is what I always do when I meet a potential renter. I always great them at there car and a have a good sneak peek of there car inside if it is clean and not trashed you are in good shape. The rules say that a persons vehicle is an extension of there home. If its nasty then your rental property will be also. I have also learned to put a few clause's in the lease. "I THE LANDLORD HAVE THE RIGHT TO INSPECT THE PROPERTY AT ANY TIME WITH A 24 HOUR WRITTEN NOTICE IN ADVANCE" "I THE LANDLORD WILL DO INSECT SPRAYING IN AND AROUND THE PROPERTY EVERY 3 MONTHS" When potential tenets read these clauses and I make this known. They always ask "Does that mean you will come in the property and be in every room" YES. If I were to come across a rental all nasty I would give 30 days notice to clean it or be evicted! .I have been a good landlord for over 20 years and never had a bad tenant or a dirty house because of my rules..This may help other rental property owners ....
so all smokers are slums? I smoke and my house is flawless. I don't smoke inside my home though.
ritual inspections are key with every tenant. I inspect 2 times a year to loo for any problem areas. Also, have a checklist when doing the walkthrough, take video or pictures on that date, have them sign off on it. Hope that helps in the future.
The sad part is they move on to another unsuspecting landlord and start the same old process over again.
I don't understand how it can get like that in three years. The ceilings are orange in the corners ? Poor landlord.
How's this property today? Are you still renting out after this?
I'm in London myself, and it's sad when tenants choose to live like this -
I'm on ODSP and it's already extremely difficult to find a place to rent because landlords are losing trust with those on OW/ODSP (and in some ways, I don't blame them).
this is nothing compared to other houses i've seen on youtube..
stomach churning, been there done that, similar story only it was a single dad with out a place to go with his kids, no regular job and few prospects.I had to as they say 'take a Cat' to that house I renovated with my own two hands, stripping old plaster and lath and installing new drywall(walls and ceiling), insulation, new trim and linoleum. Took me FIVE months and court to get them out over the course of those months they destroyed everything and broke every window... I just lost heart and called my dirt work guy. He enjoyed it immensely as did I. A lot of work, alot of money reduced to a pile of rubble. Was a POWERFUL lesson. I had a few lessons in life that turned me from a flaming LIBERAL into a STRICT CONSERVATIVE... after I turned life got MUCH better. Charity begins and belongs at home. usually some one has a sob story because of their own deeds/misdeeds.
That a wasteful asf. You couldn't give the house to a single dad but you enjoyed demolishing and razing the house. Sounds like a liberal to me.
Guy I hope you reported those people to child welfare. If they were living like that before they had their kid they're probably even worse afterwards.
seeing people treat a house like that makes my heart sink, we have 5 kids, one who is Autistic. we dont live in the nicest house, but we do our best to keep it clean and do what we can with the approval of our landlord to improve the property. We need a bigger house to give our family the room we need as our kids grow up, I work and pay my taxes but i do not earn enough for us to be able to get a home loan, And there are people who abuse a home in this way...it makes me sad.
i am a landlord and this makes me sick this is why i always do extra checks on people i call the last 3 places they rented as well as other background checks i work to hard to get my places clean and neat and spend alot of money on them will not allow this at all makes me scared to see if they can do this to some they may do this to me so i do monthly checks on all my rentals they have to agree to that before they sign the lease
“Thought that was a turd” 😂
This is upsetting - I'm a clean freak and excellent tenant - but it's very difficult to find a place because 1. I have a dog (trained, clean, quiet) 2. I am self-employed (read innovative and self-determined) so have several money streams but not a "paycheck" to show. They learn this and run. It's also hard to live with others because people are so disorganized and typically not very clean. It's such a shame! And that's why I have a traveling van...
Opolara1, I don't blame you for selling off your properties. My wife and I have been renters for a long time, and we are on a fixed income. It is sometimes very difficult when we have looked for a new place since (through no fault of their own) landlords rarely want to rent to the disabled. We are part of a rare minority that clean, vacuum, and dust all the time, but it takes a lot of references to land a nice place. I hate trash like this that give those of us who respect ourselves a bad name.
It was a nice house and I put it back even better then it was. I now have a college student and her 2 children living there and they keep the place spotless. They love their little house. I check up on them once in awhile to see if anything needs fixing.
I'm on disibility and therefore don't make much money and unfortunately many in my situation are looked down upon when looking for a place to rent because they fear a situation such as this. I found a place left in shambles and after cleaning and painting ourselves we now rent a cute 4 bedroom house with an extremely happy landlord. Not all of us on fixed incomes live like this.
I have rented all my life and when I move in I clean up while I live there I upgrade not degrade in the house I live in now I have changed the carpet and put in a sidewalk painted and small stuff when I move out I will clean and all Roger has to do is rent again why don't people act like it is there's and be nice it will help outhers out my landlord is as poor as I am put he is a good man the people who lived here before me pissed on the carpet and it stank I cleaned it up but the smell would not leave I act like it is my home
No they didn't do drugs. Just plain scuzzy. No there was no leak in the basement. The sewer was plugged and when they used the water upstairs iy flooded the basement. We augered a piece of rag out of it. In Ontario you are not allowed to charge deposits on anything and you cannot discriminate against anyone for smoking etc. Bleach and Spray Nine are the greatest cleaning agents. Yup I'm seen worse also but this one is up there at the top. Thanks for your comments.
And this is why you check up on your rental property on a regular basis.
Would you believe that the new tenants only stayed 6 months and I am just finishing up getting it ready for a new tenant. No real damage done this time mainly fresh up except I had to replace 11 screens. Apparently they had anew Husky pup that just loved to thrash screens. Had to replace 2 carpets and 2 windows. This will be the last time I rent this place. It will be sold if the new tenant dosen't work out. Cost this lime $1500.00.
Doesn’t look like the landlord took care of the outside himself, the paint is peeling off the trim. Why you landlords put carpet in rentals is beyond me 🤔🙄. You can tell it’s cheap carpet with the bubbling.
When I leave a rental property it's cleaner than the day I moved in. I will even add to the place for the next renter such as new garbage cans for each room, a bucket with cleaning supplies and a new broom and mop and a new shower curtain. I wash all the walls top to bottom because I smoke too.
You are a landlords dream tenant.
People defending the tenants seem ignorant to all of the DIRT and UNCLEANLINESS of household items. It shows the family did not clean the place during their time there. If you have dirty shelves, and appliances it shows how little time you put into cleaning.
This is why I never put carpet in rentals. Also no pets. Fleas are the least of pet damage. Your damage is bad but mostly cleaning. Carpet in the basement is a waste of money. Just paint the floor. Every time a tenant moves, expect cleaning, patching and maybe painting. Streamline your fix up. Also, second hand fixtures, toilets, sinks and cabinets are huge money savers and it doesn't hurt so bad when trashed. Make it easy for the tenant to keep the place tidy.
Please do not listen to sad stories. Maybe they are true but maybe they are the result of bad choices, poor work ethic and entitlement issues. If you do a favor for a tenant, put it in writing and make sure you are reimbursed for whatever extra trouble it causes you.
Hope your next tenants are cleaner and more responsible.
Small claims court....did you take videos before the rental ??
Make them pay !!
I would like to see that! They were dirty but what was it like before they moved in.
When landlords rent to people like this, the old saying "you're only as good as the company you keep", applies. There are great tenants that get turned down, while scum tenants are accepted. I have NEVER understood that and never will. How hard is it to clean up after yourself and put things back where you found them? This is disgusting. This looks like a place from "Hoarders". He said one of them smoked 5 or 6 packs of cigarettes a day. That should have told him what kind of tenants they would be right there.
If you're a landlord and you're not checking on your properties or residents then most of this is your fault. If you let them live how they want and not how is stated in the lease agreement it's your fault. Ya there are just some people who don't care but most of this can be prevented just by driving by and checking the property every few months, which is your right as a landlord.
Agree. Thank you for your comment.
Omg disgusting. I'm a renter I could never ever leave a place like that, even if I didn't like the landlord. I feel so bad for you. But theirs is good renters out there that care. Good luck. Peace peeps 💙 🇨🇦
It's just plain not giving a damn. There is no need for anyone to be like this. This tenants spouse was a friend of mine so I gave them the benefit of doubt and did not bother to check up on them. I gave them cheap rent to help them out. Big mistake. They promised to look after the place so I took them on their word. I guess some people are just plain blind when it comes to cleanliness.
Not that bad, considering the last vid I watched here 'Landlord inspects grossest hoarder house ever' that tenant left a turd encrusted TP monument lol
+gumdokim Haha, just watched that one myself and then came here.
it was pretty bad wasnt it
***** Yes, that was about the worst hoarding I've seen in a long time.
agreed probably would get sick in that place
+gumdokim Oh God the bathroom. Who, what kind of people poop in the bathtub. I've never seen anything like this. I couldn't see a baby in that place.
That's why we drive by all our properties weekly and walk through twice a year. Crazy stuff!
i am amazed at landlords who dont do 6 monthly inspections - that doesnt make it right whats been done but cobwebs are nothing dirty windows annoying but _ but all that rubbish in the yard didnt just happen overnight - i dont understand landlords if the tenant thinks u dont care about the place neither will they
We rent and our landlord won't do a thing concerning maintanence. He wants us to do it, then only reimburse us $25.00 a month. The range quit working and he wanted us to go in half for one--which would remain in the home. We bought a new one and put his in the outbuilding. Our laundry room ceiling is caving in, the ceiling fans don't work, etc.. I am not putting my hard earned money into his house. We bought fans and when we move his will go back up. He is awful!!
this is actually really sad...
for 1. the landlord helped them as much as he could by reducing rent and even had the place renovated to look nice before they moved in.
2. its also sad because these people were obviously mentally ill if they were pissing in the bathtub....
Such disgusting feral animals. There is a lesson to be learned my friend; 3 month inspections. You don't have to run a white gloved finger around the house, but it will tell you who the feral tenants are fairly quickly, and save you a lot of aggro in the long run
Sometimes. It should always be in the lease; periodic inspection, therefore the tenants have no recourse to say the landlord has no right to inspect the property on a regular basis. The Residential Tenancies Act in Australia clarifies both landlord and tenants' rights. It's supposed to be fair to both, but even it is sometimes weighted toward the tenants. It's still necessary to give a tenant 30 days to get out of a tenancy, no matter how far behind they are in rent, or how much they trashed the place.
So true. Better to rent to strangers. Much easier to deal with.
Gotta say that traffic noise is HORRIBLE!
I'm not saying that this place is not disgusting but I've seen a lot worse on UA-cam. I've seen a lot of section 8 houses that are completely destroyed with garbage piled almost to the ceiling! It's sad that people will do this, I've always made sure that any place I rented was clean when I left. I'm now been a homeowner for 25 years and will never rent out my home just because of what I've seen on UA-cam!
Compared to the eviction house I cleaned, I would LOVE to get a house like that on my roster. Instead I get lots of dirty diapers, used feminine products stuck to walls, LOTS of used needles and drug stuff, and a whole lot of crap (literally) everywhere. Even on the ceilings!!!
You should be happy that they left the tub, sinks, light fixture, fans, fridge, and the wiring in the walls. They take that stuff all the time. More than you would believe!
And they've even taken A/C unit, heat pumps, water heaters, ovens! You name it and I've seen it.
Granted, they're scum, but didn't you ever inspect your property while they were there? Obviously not. A lot of this is because you never came back and looked in on them. My landlord does a yearly inspection, just a walk through to make sure my place doesn't get to this point. Be proactive and this won't happen. Or at least not this bad.
exactly!
ultimtdisc why should they have to babysit? They rent to adults not children.. You need to take care of where ever you live regardless. If they have lower end carpet or any kind of flooring it's because of this kind of thing.
I feel for you, as My son and I know what a real slumlord is
Thank you.
your welcome
I have trouble feeling sympathy for a landlord who never inspects the property while tenants are there. Landlords are entitled to enter a rented property with 24 hours' notice. It takes a good long time to trash a house the way this one was trashed, so obviously they lived there without ANY inspections done by the landlord. If you've paid good money for a house and you want to rent it out, at least inspect it regularly. You are entitled to do that, so do it. It's YOUR investment - don't just blindly trust tenants. Check up on them once in a while. After you've made two or three inspection visits, if you're happy with the way the tenants are living, you don't have to continue inspections, but until you know what kind of people are living there, keep an eye on your investment.
isnt it possible that most people that leave homes like this are into drugs or meth?
Why do landlords not make periodic visits to see how their tenants live and head off the destruction before it gets to this point?
99% of the damage and thrash is usually below waist level.. If there is damage above that I will video it but it clearly shows the condition of the unit as I found it. I will also record individual pic of damage etc Camera is a cannon Powershot SD1100/'
How awful. Looks like it was a lovely house in the past. My aunt had to finally sell her rental place because of renters that did this crap. So rotten that people have no consideration or respect for themselves or others. Good luck Mr. Landlord.
it would be cool to see a video of it cleaned up and ready to rent out again like a before and after
That sucks so much buddy. I've rented an apartment now for almost a year, I vacuum the carpets and clean the kitchen and bathrooms weekly. I also don't sh*t in the tub. If I were you I'd take these low life's to court!
Wow. Amazing how people treat rentals. I am a renter and feel bad if my cat misses the litter box and pees on the tile floor in the bathroom, which I clean up as soon as I see it. I can't believe how nasty that filter was. That was after 3 weeks? I change mine once a month and it looks brand new compared to that one. That sucks you have to rehab the place all over again. Good luck to you, and I hope you get it looking new again.
Thank you.for your positive comments. Merry Christmas.
I also have rentals and sadly, this has happened to me. To har person who said you still make money. Please, if eveyone left this much damage and filth you would quickly go bankrupt. Also, it’s really hard on your heart.
Doing people's property like this is just really uncalled for . I'd take them to court & make them pay for all of that .
Tbh the worst I've ever done is accidentally chip some paint on my bedroom wall because of a bookshelf when moving in and a stupid command hook... Or occasionally get those stains on the walls/floors you touch often. (Which is easily cleaned)
