I’m sorry to hear you had a bad experience w/a renter. I’ve been a renter most of my adult life and just this Sunday heard that my lanlord plans to put the house on the market. I totally get their decision - they are both in their 90’s now and don’t want to deal w/new tenants (the people downstairs from me gave notice they are moving). But I’ve been a good tenant and my landlords have been great. I’ll really miss them! My plans are to try to buy a condo or someplace small.
The law is on the renter’s side. Sorry your choices are polluted with the actions of the many crumbs, creeps, deadbeats and otherwise maggots.
I just know I’ll never take a chance on a renter again.
