1461 avon tenant eviction lisa smith 8 15 09

We evicted this tenant from the proeprty but she got out before we could get the marshalls over. The house is trashed from one end to the other....needs to be secured, cleaned, repainted and a security system installed. There are at least 4 broken windows and someone tried to steal the hvac system. We will get the owners a line-by-line bid out for repairs......we are attracting better quality tenants now that we have LifeLine Credit Services to rebuild their credit with....this tenant was a nightmare from the 2nd month forward........

When I run the world, vermin tenants like that will be simply extinguished.

Filthy low life renters.

Dude, do NOT clean the carpet. Replace that shit.

Watching this, as a current responsible apartment renter who will be a homeowner, absolutely disgusts me. Wow.

Sell the house.

Also I recomment installing security cameras and stay at house for a few days with a shotgun to  " deter" burglars and theifs, blow them away if they enter. I also unofically will never go rent to a section 8 either, they will never respect property that is practically free.

Why is illeagle to discriminate against kids? They are the most destructive to a property worse then pets and you cant rely on their parents to clean up after them or to tell them what is acceptable behavior when destroying property that does not belong to them, I will never rent to anyone with young kids " unoficially " but "oficially" they were denied due to credit not a 900 lol.

Good point Steven. The real issue for investors is to invest close to home in neighborhoods and areas you know well and can keep an eye on even if you bring in professional management. Many of the properties we were involved with were meant to be sold off once rented and rehabbed....some of our clients bought $200k properties sight unseen that would only rent for $800 so they were in trouble from the get-go. Stable employment is a great indicator of what to expect. Here it was what it was!

This is exactly why I only purchase middle to upper-middle income houses. that have middle income rents. Usually people who make +60,000 or more a year income are stable, mature and reasonable. Sure, some tenants damaged our houses more than others but, we never really had any really really bad damage. I would NEVER rent to lower income or government program what/ever tenants. It's just not worth the low rents.

It's very hard. Many of the houses we used to rent were in rougher neighborhoods. This tenant was actually taught to manipulate the system and gets more money every month for each child she has...especially since some of them have medical issues. She is very street smart and, if she could be turned around, she could use those same skills to be productive and live a much better life for her and her children. I have left these areas to others!
