July Tenant Turnover: More Photos

As our saga continues with our "back on drugs" tenant who was avoiding us, our property manager has a new tenant ready to move in tomorrow, so we are busy getting it move in ready.  I would like to see what the property manager would do for cleaning and repairs, but we decided to do the work ourselves to save money.

@Dawn Anastasi asked to see more photos, so here goes.  I cannot stress enough how important it is to take a LOT of photos, right at move in, and right at move out.  It feels like we take a lot, but I always wish I had more when I go back to review things.  Aim to take at least 10 photos in each room.

BEFORE: Stove and fridge

AFTER: Stove and fridge.  Different stove, because tenants are really hard on appliances.  Photo doesn't do it justice, but sticker residue and dirt all over fridge, fridge and freezer FULL of disgusting food.

BEFORE: Bathroom

AFTER: Bathroom.  Missing light bulbs, that is normal. Medicine cabinet easier to replace than clean.  Vanity top full of burn marks.  Heroine found wedged in corner shelf.  Different towel rack, surprised they even replaced it.  Adhesive, stickers, and ink all over walls.

Drug paraphernalia found in bathroom:

BEFORE: Bedroom

AFTER: Bedroom.  Photo doesn't do justice to how filthy the doors and walls are now.

This unit will have 10 empty days this time around, which could possibly have been shortened if not for prior obligations (4th of July) limiting time at unit.
