Terrible tenants make you want to quit.

[Benjamin DuPont]

I'm a small-time owner. I have 11 doors. For 7 years I have had great success with my rentals.

This month, I filed the starts of an eviction. It was the first one I've ever submitted to courts. Tenant ghosts me and I started the process.. I get stories of how she's in a bad place and so sorry....I felt bad for her....ive been trying to help her and find services and here we are at the end of the month

..... and then I found her instagram.... .she's not poor or struggling...she moved into some luxury new apartment. Shes posting bragging photos at the new place ... She left my whole place junked, ruined and filled with tons of crap furniture and rotting food and garbage. 😢

I really am so angry and feel totally tricked..at this point I just want to finish the eviction but I wouldn't even know how to finish it since I don't know where she's at to have her served.

Not sure what to do but be angry. Looking for any advice or cooler heads than mine.

Thanks

@Benjamin DuPont For the majority of time over the past 7 years you have done very well. This last incident has made you feel personally insulted and has cost you some money. Yes many of us, me included, have experienced the same. Perhaps not quite so in your face as you described. 

Some of us have fared worse than others. Put it behind you, get back on that horse and get the unit ready for the next paying tenant. It is the business we chose to be in.
