Tenant Trashed Our Rental Property | The Clean Up

- Tenant trashed my rent property! Watch the clean up and renovation of our trashed investment property. One of the realities of investing in real estate is the occasional bad tenant. This tenant lived in our rental home for 4 years, he paid his rent on time every month and never made maintenance calls. From the outside of the property I could tell he wasn't the cleanest tenant I'd ever had but I had no idea the destruction and filth that waited behind the closed door until he abandoned the property.
I am a small business owner and real estate investor with more than a decade of experience renting and flipping single family homes. I have been self employed for 20 years beginning at the age of 23. On this channel I will share all the tricks I've learned over the years to create a sustainable income while being self employed through real estate, entrepreneurship, investing and "side hustles".
Thanks for watching! It'd be awful nice of you to hit the Like and Subscribe buttons for me :)
I can't believe someone would leave a place like this! (Heartbreaking!) Good job with the clean up!
The mould behind the kitchen cabinets was unbelievable!
Oh, my stars!!! I have moved into rental properties so many times where it was left to ME to clean up behind the previous filthy tenants, and I can no longer do it. The landlords just expect to pass on the filth to the new tenant. However, I have NEVER seen anything this bad before in my entire life! This should be a felony. Seriously, the tenant(s) should be facing felony charges with prison time and financial responsibility for doing this. UNBELIEVABLE!!!
I do not know how the owner can be this calm. If this was my house, I would be in the throes of a nervous breakdown. This place should have been a total write off and demolished in my opinion. As a renter, I can unequivocally, that I would not want to move into a place like this even AFTER it was "cleaned." You cannot totally clean something this bad.
Tenants that don't look after the property they are in are disgusting! They must not have any pride!
It looks like there were roaches at some point. I've recently gotten into this out of a random series of events but little "reddish/black" dots on the walls are it. Most noticeable in the kitchen area and along the trim. Painting over that is no bueno as it will bleed through. The easiest (lol) way is soap and water, comes right off but smells like a sweet fart. I literally hate it with all of my being. Cool video and gives new landlords an idea for what they're in for. I've been scouring the net to learn more from others. Thanks!
I cannot understand tenants trashing a property like this. Yes, it's not their house but they still have to live in it!
Nice job Brian. Love your videos.
Thanks Davion!
I think your tenant may have been unwell in some way. Maybe do yearly inspections on your next tenant so you can help them and also make sure your property is protected 😊
You’re 100% correct. After this video I had a couple of conversations with his family, he has been getting the help he needs since moving back in with his parents. He is not a bad guy, he just needs help.
Just rented a house way worse looking forward to making it a amazing place again
Actually….before buying my house I rented several apartments and I always took extreme care of them! I even had an apartment that I,as the renter improved with the landlords permission. That particular landlord was a known slumlord and she kept my security deposit because she knew it would cost more to take her to court. A scumbag move for all the work I did to that apartment for her. It was disgusting and I spent a week scrubbing and painting the place. I shampooed the carpets and even saved her money by spray painting each tile in the drop ceiling individually because they were stained so bad with nicotine. They looked like brand new tiles afterwards. So to say that “renters do not take care of apartments as good as the landlord” is a completely false statement.
I like to belive that not all tenants are like this. I am currently experiencing the same thing. For my tenant, his wife left him with their kid. Both him and his wife are mentally ill. I feel like I should have called child protective services on them. It is very heartbreaking that my nice rental property is trashed. I'm a single mom and doing most of the fixing on my own. Not as bad as this apartment in the video but I find it really hard to understand why they did this to me. Considering my rent is $800 lower than the market and I always give them 2 week grace period. It's just sad. Terrible people without any heart.
Ya my apartment was disgusting when I moved in. I am a very clean person.. obsessive really. I hope I get my damage back but I don't know at this point.
The issue is good renters like you are becoming more and more rare every year. As a landlord I'd have definitely given you your deposit back if the place was cleaner than you got it.
Wondered how long it took for these worthless and disgusting tenants to make this much damage to your rental property. You need to ask $10,000 deposits for tenants like this.
Typical landlord who doesn’t go out to do exterior inspections from time to time.I do on mine every 6 months or more and I have 5 homes right next to each other so I can do a drive by daily…
You’re right, and I call myself out in the video at the end. I said it’s totally my fault for not inspecting them, don’t be me, inspect your properties. We now change the AC filters in every property every 60 days… that gives us a great excuse to keep and eye on things. I will not make this mistake again.
WTFUDGE 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤮🤮🤮🤮 Damn!!! Slugs!!!
I really do hope you professionally remediated the biohazards going on in that property before just painting and tiling over the filth. Otherwise you are just perpetuating the problem. Bleach is not the end all be all of sanitation.
I did. I was out of town when they came so I didn’t get it on camera but I had an environmental services company clean it.
And women want Equality
I'm sorry but the damage I'm seeing in the first few scenes is water damage. Unless a tenant turned on the sinks and ran them and you didn't go into that place for a month, then I don't believe that water damage behind the walls was from the Tenant. You were showing slugs. Slugs don't just show up unless there was wet damage and mold there for a very long time. Just pretty unbelievable to me.
It was water damage, from a leak under the sink that he never made a maintenance call for. We're also talking about a tenant that lived in raw sewage and never put in a maintenance call to have it fixed. My properties are always in top notch shape when a tenant moves in and maintenance is my top priority because I like to protect the value of my investment...
