Traits of a Mortal Kombat Tenant?

[Ryan M.]

First off I call units where doors & walls destroyed mortal combat units.

We purchased a property where the tenant in one of the units shot the whole place up with a bb gun. Walls, ceilings, doors (you could hear the bbs rolling around in doors), windows, fridge, etc. I had looked at this same place in '04 but it was way too much but did look perfect. Well the previous owners bought it and now it was destroyed and wanted out for 30 cents on the dollar.

I have had kombat tenants in other units (punch
ing things, slamming cupboard doors so hard they snap in half, slamming doors so hard it slides the casing, slamming fridge doors so all the door holder tabs snap, etc.)

I try to avoid them but sometimes something causes them to go off and turn the place into a war house.

Other peoples experiences? Advice to avoid?

I only have 12 units and they are in desirable areas... but I do background checks, call references and I visit their current home before I rent to them. If their current place is not kept up to my standards they don't get to rent from me. There are a lot of people that can appear good on paper and seem normal but being in their homes gives you a glimpse into what you are really dealing with. If they won't agree to meet me at their home (usually to get the deposit) then the deal is off.
