Evicted tenant left a Nightmare (sorry for previous post)

[Christen Vogler]

I apologize for the previous post that was left unfinished, my phone froze and somehow managed to post it.  I guess there isn't a delete option?

I just evicted a tenant of a quadrupled for non payment but I could've also gone with unsanitary conditions,. I did not know the extent of what was in the apartment until they finally left because they would not let anyone in.  They had dogs that they apparently never let out or cleaned up after, the worst smell I have ever smelt and they smoked in there also.  I have replaced absolutely everything in the apartment, treated the concrete under the carpet (the new carpet has not been laid down yet but all old carpet is gone) with everything I could think of, painted with kilz and regular paint a few times.  I have a couple questions, what else can I do to number one make sure its safe to move someone else in due to it being so unsanitary.  That is my number one concern, I'd rather do more than necessary than to risk anyone getting sick.  Also, does anyone have any ideas about what I can use to try to get the smell out of the apartment?

Christine,

The ozone matchine is a great idea, but I have found crime scene companies are the best at this types of situations, they have dealt with everything under the sun. Well worth it!!
