Ok... so maybe i didnt do everything right.. bought my first house.. remodeled the house as if id want to live in it, its not in a nice area but the house itself was nice.. all new tile, carpet, bathroom, appliances.. so the renters dont pay.. finally get them out and its TRASHED.. floors are ALL completely trashed.. like more broken tiles then i thought possible, holes in the carpet, new front door is smashed up, holes everywhere.. house was completely repainted in december and looks like the paint was orignal from the 60s.. they rented it since january.. now there out.. what do i do!? Is it worth taking them to court? they couldnt pay rent, what are they going to be liable for? didnt even collect septembers rent..! what do i do!? I have before and after pictures.. but how do i prove anything!? and.. i happen to lose the lease, although it expired in june.. so now i dont even know what steps to take!?
Pisssssed off!
