My first rental disaster
my tenant completely trashed my place, deposit will not even cover the junk removal service
I called my insurance (USAA) the adjuster showed up and was very helpful : turns out Trashing the place is not covered BUT (blessing in disguise) I have water damage under the kitchen sink and the laminated floors/tiles walls , countertop Etc needs replacing and I'm expecting a seizable payout
My challenge :
Does contracting with a property management company will help me avoid this scenario in the future ? (Previous tenant was a coworker :( )
Where can I look for good help to repair the place ? As I am already spending good amount to just remove the junk and fight a terrible roach infestation (I could use some advice on this too)
