Landlord woes: tenant trashes home after not paying rent

Property owner Michelle Stiles has concerns about how the current eviction moratorium will impact landlords in the long run.

[@nao9671]

I recently return my apartment after 8 years of rent , cero damages, nail holes filled, clean and not a single piece of trash. I didn’t even have a deposit but it’s a matter of civility and respect.

[@lorraine9242]

Good for you. I am the same way. Before I left my last apartment I cleaned everything until it was sparkling, including the inside of the fridge. I shampooed the carpets. The landlord called me afterwards and thanked me. He said he sent in a cleaning service after I moved out, but there was nothing to clean. I think it is just common decency to leave the place as clean as when you moved in.

[@boriskarloff598]

@@lorraine9242 I've done that everytime but a couple times they still tried to keep my deposit. Leave it better than you found it is a good practice.

[@Mar-iaM-U]

Here in Sweden 🇸🇪, a tenant is supposed to clean each and every corner of the apartment before moving, and on the day of moving out, the keys are handed over to the landlord at the apartment, the landlord first checks everything in the apartment to see that there are no damages or un cleaned part ( windows also) .Even the oven and fridge are checked. Then if all is well, then the tenant will be free to go but if any thing if not all the apartment will need to be cleaned, they tell you there and then that a cleaning bill ( it can be between $ 500 - 1,000 ) will be coming to your next address 😉. In other words, here you do trash the apartment at your own risk 😂 it can even result into a police case.

That house looks to be a 1500+ monthly payment. The renter also didn't pay utilities. If she got laid off from her job like many others.

why imprison them? then us taxpayers will have to fund them. it would be better for us to have the ability to start garnishing their wages from their employers. So in order to do that, all landlords should do employment verification on the renters and get down their supervisor or HR contact information (email, phone, mailing address). Then we need to allow landlords to garnish wages, social security, retirement money, money straight from their bank account, etc PLUS legal fees. That way, we can always hit up a lawyer if need be to help us garnish their wages through the courts.

Welcome to the nightmare of being a landlord: Over the years we have faced thousands and thousands of damages done by tenants. For example: pet odor from excessive pets not listed in the lease and unclean litter boxes, flooded floors when plastic bags and food was placed in the toilet clogging the septic lines, toilets overflowing and ceiling damaged or falling completely. Tons and tons of trash and broken furniture left abandoned in the apartment and left in a filthy condition, pets released in the yard and left by tenants etc. We have not raised our rent in fifteen (15) years, we pay all utilities except electric, we repair and maintain the premises. We have spent $100,000 to maintain the rental in better condition than the home we live in. Yet, we have tenants who do damage and do not pay, or pay a partial long before Covid in 2019. We are good landlords and work with our tenants when they are short or can't pay, but we are too soft and kind for this business of being a landlord.

Meanwhile anyone with sense knows the tenant didn't rent the place in that condition and can see that nothing that's broken that supposedly makes it a "slum" is something that broke or fell apart on its own. Those landlord let the repairs pile up because they know the people will just destroy something else. Some individuals honestly think they can live like animals and a landlord's job is to wipe their ass and clean up their messes. Any who refuse to do that is a "slumlord".
