Gross , Really , really gross , tenant move out
I have a small 1 bedroom SFH . Rented it to an old guy who drank . Well his son moved in who was helping him , then the sons crack whore girlfriend moves in to the small place . Well the place was filthy 4 years ago . I figured as long as the rent was paid it was more money , I was gonna have to clean paint and replace a lot anyway . Well today was the move out day , the old guy went into a rehab home . The son got locked up 3 month ago and the prostitute found another sucker to house her . Family members came to do the clean out . They had gloves , tyvec suits , duct tape their sleeves and ankles . Pitch forks , shovels and a 30 yard dumpster . Took 4 of them 3 hours to remove everything and it ALL went in the dumpster , clothes TV , They went to the bed and there were BED BUGS . Walls are yellow from smoke , grease all over oven . ( trash it )
I set off 6 bug bombs , tomorrow I will bleach the entire house and set up a heater to get the building hot enough to kill the bed bugs . i will use a propane chimney heater and let it rip . Then the cleaning starts .
Looking to have it all done in 2 weeks , new kitchen cabinets , bath cabinets ,and sink , new baseboard heaters and new paint .

NIce pictures. I've had a few like this. I hired a carpet cleaning company to steam-clean the walls, ceiling, trim, and baseboard. Then paint it with an oil-based kilz primer, then regular paint. Also replaced the flooring. The places look and smell brand new.
