Missing Things from house I rented
Hello, I bought a house in Fl in 2009. Since I live in Venezuela and do not come to the USA very often I decided to rent the house and use a Realtor to manage the house as I couldn't do much from overseas. The house was furnished and even so they claim they told us they couldn't rent a furnished house, we are sure they didn't. A year went by and I came to the States to check on my house and I find out that the couches are ripped off by a dog, beds are in the garage with all the pieces spread apart, an edge trimmer and a ladder I had bought are missing. The management company claims that since the tenants moved out and we weren't there to check on the house before they leave that there is nothing they could do. I don't know much about the laws in here so I need an advice. Is the realtor right?? Is there any way I could get my money back for the couches and the other stuff missing or it is my fault for not being here?
