To the landlords......What has been the most expensive damage you've had on a rental property. It can be purposeful or just one of those things that happens.

I got a call last night around midnight from a tenant....water heater had busted and flooded two bedrooms. That was the first time I had anything flood. Had to replace water heater and have water extraction completed.

We have had fires, floods, tornado damages. All bad.

But, hands down, the most interesting was the meth lab that blew a house up.

I didn't know the cause, so I moved the tenant down the street to another house. The next week, police show up to my office and explain the meth lab. Tell me the guys name and ask if i know where he is............................ uh, yeah. i moved him down the street a block.

They made the arrest.
