Seller Left Mountains of Trash After Failed Post-Occupancy Agreement

This is the house that had the post-occupancy agreement and the seller was having a hard time leaving! He finally left, the house is rekeyed and this is the full video of all the stuff he left behind and things we need to fix on the house.
This house is pretty rough but the seller also left so many things. I know most of it is junk but there is a lot of it!
Here is the video that talks about the post-occupancy agreement and shows some other post-occupancy houses that did not go so well! • Seller Won't Move Out!...

Disconnect or remove any of their security equipment. The previous tenant in my house was forcibly evicted. Landlord didn't remove her cameras and the system was still active when I moved in. She would trigger the alarm at random times of the night. I ripped out every camera to get sleep. You are a very brave man. That house is a horror show. It's hard to tell where to begin.

[@investfourmore]

On no. I'm sorry to hear that!

[@TheKnives777]

Why do renters do things like this? My friend has some properties he rents out and has a nice 4 bedR rancher with and amazing open floor basement. The former tenant decided to start an IPA microbrewing/Rum operation. Cut holes in the walls to run pipes, there was spray foam insulation everywhere. He had 7 dogs. Only gave a SD for one animal, rerouted the bathroom pipes to run into a filter for the stills and had a random guy living in the basement (just in case) one of the stills exploded, his job was to put out the fire. The renter painted over electrical outlets, cut a hole in the door for a makeshift doggo door. It was insane!

The Glass Blocks are valuable. My most recent move was horrible. I put a nonrefundable deposit on the company. On my final day in the house the van came, took a look, called it a hoard and left!!! Three times I told the mover that the buyer had said I could leave things behind. I packed everything carefully yet he left my things there. I'm now in Florida in my completely new life with a man I love and who loves me. Was it worth losing everything I owned? You bet!!! He had to leave alot behind too. Together we are building up a household along with our 2 dogs. Life is good. God is great and must've realized I deserved people more than belongings. Have a wonderful day, Mark!

My mom was a hoarder. After she died, I was the chosen one to clean out the house. I had an industrial dumpster delivered outside one of the windows. 9 TONS OF TRASH, 9 tons! That didn’t include many trips to Goodwill. It was a nightmare! Good luck to you!

That's so horrible I almost have no words. All of that is trash. I wonder if it would be more economical to take down some of that back fence and bring a bulldozer and dumpsters. The backyard is much larger than I was expecting, but that means that much more trash. It will be interesting to see what the electrical, plumbing and HVAC people say. Is it just the camera or those bedroom doors very narrow in the rooms super small? The kitchen puny and horrible layout? The foyer, or lack thereof.... There is a lot of work to be done but I'm sure you can make it look a lot better.

[@momtrips6783]

I'm late to the party, but it doesn't look too bad to me as hoarder houses go. There was a bunch of stuff that looked poorly done/jerry-rigged. I saw a lot of scrap metal, wire, etc inside and out, so someone should be willing to haul that away for you for free just to resell to a scrapyard. You may even want to call your local scrapyard to see if they will do it or give you the name of someone they know who will do it. Some of that furniture didn't look too bad, even the stuff outside, but I know from just doing a clean out myself that sometimes you can't give decent stuff away. I saw a bunch of stuff that contractors or places like Habitat for Humanity Re-Store could use, but again you have to get them to come to you. Maybe drag all the salvageable stuff outside in piles, cover the piles with tarps and put an ad online about free stuff with a one week window for pickup. After that just get a couple of dumpsters and start filling them. The blow-mold snow man might bring a few bucks, but I'm thinking the scrap metal, wire and ripped out furnace would bring more. Also, the aquarium equipment if in good condition might bring a few bucks. I saw a lot of random cabinet and dresser drawers laying around. Crafters like to use old drawers for frames and shadow boxes, so you could gather them up and list them in a lot for crafters/artists. I noticed a nice looking baby high chair outside that I bet some women's shelter would take. I could see daylight around some of those outside doors so you might want to address that issue so critters don't get in. The sheds on the property might be sellable unless you want to keep them. Good luck with this project!

[@msc8663]

I just stumbled on you channel. That house will be awesome when fixed up. I love the fish tank in the wall. Good luck.

[@fredericrike5974]

Mark, on thermostats, look particularly within ten feet left or right of the intake air- return air- point for the furnace/air handler. It will also usually be about head height for women and shoulder height for men. The furnace in the basement didn't appear to have the low voltage wiring bunch still attached, so it hasn't worked since that time- you can't even turn the fan on without accessing the low voltage circuit (12 volts) so I am in a quandary about how they lived there- I'd be asking for as much info on utilities as local authorities will give you, as I am suspicious of other utility related foolishness. That is going to be a long slog to clean and bring up to snuff; get a 9 or 12 yard dumper in the back yard asap and get the house emptied first, and any exteriors that will need access or clearance. You can get some local day help to finish the yard while your contractors "do the house". I'd suck it up and get someone from the local inspections office ( one that is retired and not under obligation to report) to look over the house- several violations of code on plumbing, electrical and HVAC were seen- the whatever connects to drain the aquarium are very disturbing. As well rip open that bazaar box you found- it wasn't constructed by any good carpenter and could be hiding answers to some of "what was going on here". Do not slack on calling the gas company- with the meter pulled, the only source for that gas is their side. You can already add the cost to recertify the gas system before you will be allowed to hook back up to it. Also a $20 k slush fund to your projection- you definitely have a $10 k trach problem and some of it may qualify as hazardous- he was running a bootleg electronics and appliance repair, likely cash only. Maybe not a grow house but not much better. I'm thinking your seller didn't actually live here- the idea of someone with a huge room full of good tools living like a crab in a cave full of crap just doesn't ring true for me. He may have been "hosting" some "friends" as watchmen and living somewhere else- notice how many doors down there had hasps for padlocks. If you go digging, I think this story may be in league with that bizarre church/cult home/residence thing you saw three years ago! FR

Someone stole all the wiring in the house a few years ago. I hope to have the house livable and move in, in a few months.

There is probably enough scrap metal in that mess to make a dent in the amount of stuff that needs to be disposed of. When I sold my properties I started about two years before getting rid of stuff, either scrapping, selling donating and throwing away. My ultimate goal was leaving the country so pretty much everything had to go.

[@emmah6045]

The kind of folks who win auctions of storage unit and clean them out are the kind of folks you should hire to do the cleanup of this house. Probably would do it for free in exchange for keeping anything worth $$$, and they could have a free pile on the lawn for a day so useable things get carried away. That will make a lot less to go into dumpsters and into the landfill. (You provide the roll off dumpsters)

Drop 3, 20 yard dumpsters to start. It will take about 2-3 more after you start to rotate those out. Rent a skid steer for 3-4 days in the yard. 200-220 man hours. That will give you a clean slate to put it back together. It’s usually a good financial hit when meters have need removed because you need that trade to look at that system a lot closer before they give it a thumbs up, present it to the AHJ and then they will give it the blessing for the new meter install.
