dirty and uneducated tenant

Walter C.

Has anyone experienced a tenant who is very uneducated? I am currently dealing with one, and now, the issue is going to be on cleaning up the apartment. And I mean, really clean it up, as the pest problem has gotten really bad. Adding to that, he does not speak English, so I had to use Google Translate to communicate.

I wonder... am I going to have make some type of "how-to" guide on cleaning the apartment? I am planning to write down some things that need to be done, and show him, but I am not sure if he will understand the concept at all. I feel like I am dealing with a kid.

@Walter C.

If it will keep it clean then yes show them how to do it. Unfortunately not everyone is created equally and they and assist them so it also benefits both parties

Other question I have is

How did you vet this tenant?
