Tenant moved out and so did the mechanical equipment... more....

[Steven Gesis]

Recent tenant eviction, although they are rare in my world, they do occur once in a while, this one was like no other one before, tenants of (3) years, stopped paying the rent, we had to evict the tenant, the tenant moved out and took:

• Toilets
• Vanities
• Furnace (yes, they disconnected the gas line and the dedicated electrical circuit)
• Hot Water Tank (yes, they capped the water lines ( so, thank you for not flooding my home))
• Kitchen Cabinets (Including the kitchen sink .... hahaha)
• Kitchen Appliances

Aside from the regular move-out items and small repairs, this was new to me, they did not really vandalize the home, but they stripped it, which is kind of awkward, I thought about making an insurance claim, but now I am thinking just pay to replace the items and move on, the time, effort, money, and delay will outweigh I think the potential for the home going back on-line and getting back to cash flow positive.

Thoughts and ideas welcome.

If it were me I would file a police report and then file an insurance claim.  That's what insurance is for, let your insurance company go after them.  Meanwhile you'll end up with a nice newly updated property, you can raise the rent.

If you let them take you for a free ride it also just encourages them to abuse the next landlord.
