I am sorry to hear of your “disaster” but it is all too common for landlords to hope everything is OK when it is not. My properties are all local and I manage them myself. If we do not have the rent by the 3rd of the month I am at the property knocking on the door. Once we started running it as a true business, we did much better than in the early years. There are some tenants that you can just can not feel sorry for.

Hubby was transferred and we didn't get the place sold. Renting seemed smart since my family was still there. Ha! ;-)

We were young and felt sorry for the people we rented to. We learned.

Where we live now was trashed by the last tenants. It's a farm house on 80 acres. They burned their trash. Well not all of it. We're STILL finding beer bottles and trash in unimaginable places. Clothes too. They broke windows and toilets because they were evicted. And the range had to be replaced along with the hood over it. We couldn't get the grease off. Window cranks don't work in the newer part and the screens were destroyed. The landlord is still fixing things. We do too. We bought the screens and the new kitchen faucet.

They trashed it because they didn't own it and then did more damage when they were evicted. I don't understand people.
