Back in the 1990s my wife and I had several rent houses. We would buy a house, remodel it ourselves, rent it out, and buy another. We had several tenants from hell in one year, one who trashed our house just as bad or worse than the one in the article. That was it for us. We sold them all.
I had a rental house and a crack whore for a tenant. My business partner and I replaced the linoleum on the kitchen floor and this slut put an 8’ gouge in the floor literally that night.
We sold the house to a true slumlord a couple weeks later.
