Hang in there!You are definately too good of person to let the dirtbags beat you down!

Jeezus Man! that is gross! "es un pinche mugrero" as we say here. I bought a small house to rent a few years ago and got sued for the equivalent of almost $280,000USD 31 days after handing the first renter the keys. Now when they leave I'm just glad they left without Mexican cops coming to my house. Renting is a terrible job, I feel for ya Bud.

Looks like typical rental properties i would see everyday, when I used to deliver appliances. Renters just don't give a f$ck.

Man DC, it's not fair to you or anyone who has to clean up after these D-Bags. Some folks don't have a lot of extra $ for cleaning supplies and such; that's OK...it's NOT OK to live like that. Seriously, they should show a little respect.

[Slingblade]

Everyone can't have a nice place. But anyone can have a clean one.

I do feel for you, DC. Can not imagine all you have to put up with.

[oldskool83]

this is why i'd never rent to anyone. they way people can live is sick, no wonder people get sick uh. but what can i say...im a freaking janitor so i know how you feel and then some.

let me guess "they fell down the stairs". Dc,like I told you at TF if you put too much time or money into these places you will go broke.I was a maintence man rent collector ect. (everything but the owner) for 30 or so properties and have seen all that and worse. I can't even blame it on race or demigraphic, we had just as many nasty properties in rural areas as in the worst part of the city. It is the renter mentality it's not theirs.why should they care.We did a few things to try and limit this type of thing. The first and most effective way to weed them out is: require 1 months rent to even submit a renters application,If they do not make it past referals they get their money back,if they suddenly decide they don't want it,sorry you signed a contract.It seems to weed" them "out very well. You didn't even mention it but another frustating part is when you are trying to rent it and you make 10 appointments and only 1 shows up. To save time and frustration we would have an open house for a property. that way you only sit there for 2 hrs. and see 10 potential tenants rather than sit there waiting for one for two hours that doesn't even show. It is managable but you need to know how to do it.no fault to you ,from what you told me you were basically thrown into it without a choice. Good luck and just stay positive

They should be thrown out in a mud hole and made to live with PIGS or the city DUMP!!!

[aldochina]

my dogs pen looks better than that, and he is one gross mofo!! my personal sense of pride and dignity would not allow me to ever leave a place like this, or especially let someone see it this way, rental or not! people are so worthless!!

[300rman]

Things like this is the governments fault. Landlords should be able to evict the moment the renter stops paying rent or if the landlord drops in and sees that the living space in question is being neglected like that. And I mean OUT in a couple days so they dont have a chance to tear the place up. When these worthless excuses for humans soon realized that they werent able to stay in any place for more than a few months (or less) they might get their together. But, since they now they cant be evicted readily based on not paying rent, they just simply dont pay it...

I would send these pictures to her new landlord and tell them to watch out lol

[atctim]

I work for a phone company and am in and out of homes all day everyday. People live like farm animals - Honestly. And 95% of the homes I see in this condition are 2nd and 3rd generation welfare scums. They take no responsibility, because they have no responsibility. It drives me crazy that I (we tax paying working people) foot the bill so they can sit around all day do nothing and live in their own filth!!!!!!

Steve, sell these shi* holes and enjoy your life. Who cares if you lose money. How much is your happiness and your life worth??

I've delivered brand new furniture to apts just like this (in a former job)....You know a Presidential sale no $ down no payments for a year kinda deal. I always thought when the bill collectors start calling enough...these people just walk away...and make the world chase them down and clean up their mess. I find the Juicing video funny...from the looks of the buildup of grease and splatter marks....it was deep fry only. Lucky the place didn't catch on fire. If they didn't clean...I wonder if they used the same grease to cook in for months?? Must be tuff to watch good property be abused. The cost of the repair to the wood floor...far surpasses any deposit you may have taken.

I recomend an every 30day inspection of sinks, toilets and mechanicals in the units you own. Written into the contract...yeah it's a pain to do time wise. It actually gives you entry and makes them clean 1time each month. If you see abuse you can note, take pictures keep a log for eviction. It can also lead to early release and proper raises to incure cost damages, if the renter owns up for the damage...outside court. Nothing says while their renting a small claims action couldn't be given to repair the floor. You do it quietly by observation of your property....every 30 days you have your cammera and video/pics prior to rental to prove the damage...this way you get your retributions.

For what you collect in rent to profit ratio...$750 floor repair sets that space back 6mths to a year to recoupe. You'd think a decsent place to live would bring some kind of respect.

Damn Steve,,, Just not cool. I think Stud said it best. Seriously here. WHAT are you holding on for? When we've talked I didn't ask. For your Dad? Or are you hoping to own them someday? I would get permission from him,and dump these.And if he won't. Say,Sorry Daddio,,gotta go. You have ENORMOUS talents in ductwork,machine work. Stuff you ENJOY . You need to simply wake up tomorrow, and wash your hands of this. I might sound too forward to some here. But we've talked. Man,we are NOT getting any younger!! Time is a slippin away. YOU have a great life to live...and NONE of this crap is included in it. Period. You've got my # if I can ever help my friend.

[rdlsz24]

Christ DC, I would flip. Was somebody murdered in that fridge? wtf
