My Tenant from Hell Story

We all love these guys right? Well after non-payment and being served with a pay or quit notice multiple times, and direct instructions to the old property managers to evict immediately. One day I went to the property to check it out and discovered that a back window was smashed out and broken. I again instructed said ex-property manager to evict. 4 months later, with tons of excuses on why he hasn't been evicted. New property manager posted a 5 day, and then began eviction process (Thank god!).

She was at the property for an unrelated issue and the Tenant told her he couldn't get evicted because the property we in foreclosure! Ha! Right. She said no it's not, you need to go. He called her some nasty things and threatened her with physical harm. Well two days later the constable was there to lock him out. The locks were changed immediately.

Which brings us to today. He picked the lock, broke into the apartment and smashed almost every window, broke the pvc pipes under all of the sinks, and was there when our handyman went to check up on the property and evaluate the previous damage. Tenant pulled a knife on him thankfully the handyman guy got away, and called the sheriffs. He was quickly arrested and is being charged with a bunch of different things. We also suspect him of having dealt drugs, not that we can prove it.

Awesome!

What's your story?

The problem was the PM company that we used.

And It's in Las Vegas.
