If they don't have pit bulls and claymore mines in their front yard, pound the doors of those properties and make the pitch face to face. 

It's usually broken/old furniture, a 1992 TV set that weighs 78 pounds, rotten food, dirty dishes, and kid toys.

Sometimes these need to be pounded in our head because many people will still try to make a square peg fit in a round hole even if they know better.

I think an ounce of prevention is still worth a pound of cure, so here are some simple steps you can take to improve your odds with your next GC.Make sure they are Bonded, Insured and Licensed.

This takes a LOT of my time.If I went to get a judgement against this tenant for the balance of the lease (if I could even find them to serve court papers), the judge would tell me to go pound sand, absorb it as a business expense, go re-rent the apartment, move on with my life and quit bothering him with this "nonsense."
