Plan financially for the unexpected! On a Friday afternoon my property supervisor called me to inform me that our building was down to 1 vacant with a pending app. She felt confident enough to tell me that by Monday the property would be 100% occupied. Unbeknownst to her Friday night a local motorcycle gang entered the property to rough up a female resident who was having an affair with a married man. Unfortunately they kicked in the door to an 80 old women....who Saturday morning by 9:00 am had moved out.
Not to be easily deterred, and wanting their money for the job, the motorcycle gang came back on Saturday night and kicked in the door to the correct unit. After beating up the resident, the gang was arrested at the curb as they were fleeing. (apparently the "scorned" wife hired them to teach the women to leave her husband alone). Sunday morning the residents who lived next door to the victim, turned in their keys and stated they didn't feel safe and were moving. The manager at this point had no choice but to serve notice on the resident whose actions started this drama.
Monday afternoon the supervisor called to tell me that instead of 100% occupancy, we now had 4 vacant!
