Trent Lee Tenant trashed the unit - what can I do?
27 November 2021 | 27 replies
BP members constantly write posts saying they don't want to be bothered with day-to-day management and I found that having a PM was far worse than doing my own management because once I hired my PM I threw another 'Iron In The Fire', 'Threw In Another Wrench', or whatever you call it because now rather that dealing with tenants and resolving tenant issues in one quick move I now had to personally humble myself to dealing when a 'Fifth Wheel With Even More Moving Parts' and the decisions my PM made in regards to who they rented to and how they cleaned rentals BEFORE TENANTS MOVED IN was super scary and the damages caused by the PM resulted in costs of not one penny less than $8,000 to clean every house when a tenant moved, one house cost me $12,000 and a house in Idaho cost me $32,00 to clean and repair only the damages caused by a tenant who lived in the house for only 3 years with the exception of my costs to trim some trees.
