You tell them to remove everything and restore the lot back to it's original condition or you evict and take them to court for the cost to remove and restore.

SO, to "help out our fellow owner/operators with public records", I formally evicted and my self-righteousness earned me $9,500 in damages -- that's ten months to recoup AFTER the unit was restored . 

You can call as many as you like until you find one that you feel comfortable with, and feel is most experienced in evicting unauthorized tenants in your state.Please go back and give the unauthorized tenants the key to the new lock, or restore the old lock which they have the key to.  

I figured out a few things that helped restore my sanity.  

In addition, if you propose to modify the unit in a way that will require restoration when you leave (such as the re-positioning of lowered kitchen counters), the landlord may require you to pay into an interest-bearing escrow account the amount estimated for the restoration.

I awlays send a complete description of what needs to be done to restore the property to move-in cleanliness.

I was chatting with my roofing guy (who owns a Fire, Hail and Flood restoration company) about buying fire damaged properties, fixing them up and flipping them. 

It too requires hundreds of thousands of dollars to restore it to a liveable standard.There are also a range of other homes currently advertised at considerable discounts.A four-bedroom duplex on West St in northern beaches suburb Balgowlah is currently listed for $325,000 below its original price of $1.9 million.In Belfield in the Canterbury area, a home at Statham St is being offered at a $275,000 discount on the initial listed price of $1.45 million.A unit inside this building at 301/1-9 Meagher St, Chippendale, was first listed at $520,000 to $550,000 but sold for $429,000.Source:SuppliedA two-bedroom unit on Liverpool St in Darlinghurst is advertised at $100,000 below the original listed price of $1.5 million.Realestate.com.au chief economist Nerida Conisbee said it was inevitable that sellers would reach a point where they could no longer command prices $100,000 or $200,000 above what comparable properties sold for months ago and still find a keen buyer.

Bored to death with no homes to restore at the moment... 

I also am interested in preservation and restoration of historic properties.
