I recall one time helping my dad fix up a house that had been trashed. They had painted the kitchen walls black, and spray painted the appliances red! (Back in the early 70’s). All in all though they were pretty lucky, I only recall a few of those horror stories.
A house at the end of our block was a rental and after every renter the guy had to redo the entire house. He finally sold it and a retired couple live there now. Good for him, and good for the neighborhood. The last renters ended up with three families of mexicans - in a two bedroom rambler with no basement!
In 35 years I only really had one tenant from hell.
Before he moved out, he let his dog (no pet rental) live in the house for two weeks and crap everywhere. Concrete poured in the toilets, rotting garbage throughout the house, wire hair curlers stuffed down the garabage disposal and turned on.
House was a major re-do.
