The problem is that there appears to be mold damage in the basement recreation room on the wood panels.

In about 90% of the cases, when a tenant was evicted there was very little damage, because we were in the property a lot prior to the eviction... and of course in some cases we never got the rent and ended up with a trashed property.

This does not seem right to me that they think their security deposit makes all well and can just get up and leave.My PM notified me that she would bill them for the 1st week of October, any neccassary cleaning/damage, and report them to the credit agency.

If I suspect termite damage I start poking stuids and sills with an ice pick and call our local termite treatment guy.
