What’s the costliest thing that has happened to your rentals that you had to pay for? Did you sue the tenant?

@Keith A.

6 weeks ago, 18 DEA and FBI agents raided one of my single family homes here in Jacksonville Florida. The used the battering ram on the doors and windows to gain entry. The cops caused more damage then the tenants...anyway they found like 20 pounds of weed and other drugs, machine guns etc. Tenant tried to flush all the weed down the toilets, it clogged my septic tank and drainfield... getting that repaired now..story was all over the local news....not helpful for future renting...LOL

And 3 years ago tenant burned another house down when using a fry daddy for 10 pounds of chicken...why didnt they just go to KFC???
