That is scary, it could happen, we have such nice little places. Would make me sick too.

If I told you about the eviction he did on Monday, you wouldn't believe it.
The landlord was throwing up in the yard after they started to go in, and the landlord broke his own window so they didn't have to go into the kitchen, but could look in from the yard. He told DH he just might torch the place. DH told him which fire department to call before he started the fire so they knew it was happening and he wouldn't be charged with risking a catastrophe/arson. He was probably going to call a crime scene cleaning service, but he was almost crying about the state of the place. These people had rented from him for 5 years with no problems, and he knew them for several years before he rented to them. He thinks the wife lost her mind (I can't imagine why he'd think that  )... (okay, they literally used corners of the rooms as a bathroom -- it was the "solids." DH thought that the cleaver was in a human body, even drew his gun, when he first saw the pile of "stuff" on the kitchen counter with a meat cleaver in it. Turned out they were butchering pigs in the kitchen, there was a whole freezer full of pork "products" in the basement. I really wish I could say this is the worst story he could tell. It's not. Well, it is the first one that he thought was a possible murder scene.) And we don't live in a horrible area. Truthfully, I think he's right and she did lose it. I've met her a few times through my job. She was odd, but not that odd.
You don’t inspect your rentals at least yearly? |

You don’t inspect your rentals at least yearly? This isn’t our rental, my DH is paid by the court system to legally complete the eviction process. Part of the process is him walking through the turned over property with the landlord, as a witness to the condition of the property. He’s seen some shady stuff done by landlords, too. DH can be called to testify about the property’s condition if the landlord tries to go after the former tenant for damages, etc. What landlords do as part of their own property management is up to them, and occasionally the municipality. Some municipalities require annual inspections by a code officer, some do not. |
