New renters are driving me crazy
I own 7 rental homes. Have had one phone call from a renter with an issue in 11 years. Have new renters in one home and they have driven me crazy in the 3 weeks they've been there. Now they have removed the fridge I provided and moved theirs in. That would be okay, except they didn't unhook the water line to the ice maker, pulled it, and now there's a leak. I kept telling the husband on the phone how to turn off the water to the line and he was AFRAID to do it. They're in their late 40's. I went over, turned it off, and came home. Now they're calling because it's dripping. They caused this, should I tell them to hire a plumber and fix it? I told them upon moving in that they are to treat the house like their own and repair what they break. They battery went out on the garage remote and they told me the garage door was broken. I paid a company to go right over and fix it......it cost me almost $200 to find out the battery needed to be replaced. Even after I asked the wife to check the battery and open the door by pushing on the wall opener. None of which she did. I'm at my wits end with these people.
