Stupid tenant tricks -Cash for keys doesn't always work

[Ned Carey]

Well I paid a tenant cash for keys today and 4 hours later I am watching the cops haul them away for breaking back in.

I though I had really secured the building well. They climbed up on a second floor deck and broke a window to get in. As far as I can tell, just to get out of the rain while waiting for a ride.

My blog post has more details

@Ned Carey - I appreciate the chuckle. This is exactly the kind of story that my wife and I joke about putting in our memoirs when we "retire". To anybody that isn't in this business, this won't get fully appreciated. As somebody that is in this business, all I can do is shake my head, smile, and say "you just can't make this $*it up!"

Hope you got it closed ok!
