Recent tenant eviction, although they are rare in my world, they do occur once in a while, this one was like no other one before, tenants of (3) years, stopped paying the rent, we had to evict the tenant, the tenant moved out and took:

  • Toilets
  • Vanities
  • Furnace (yes, they disconnected the gas line and the dedicated electrical circuit)
  • Hot Water Tank (yes, they capped the water lines ( so, thank you for not flooding my home))
  • Kitchen Cabinets (Including the kitchen sink .... hahaha)
  • Kitchen Appliances

Aside from the regular move-out items and small repairs, this was new to me, they did not really vandalize the home, but they stripped it, which is kind of awkward, I thought about making an insurance claim, but now I am thinking just pay to replace the items and move on, the time, effort, money, and delay will outweigh I think the potential for the home going back on-line and getting back to cash flow positive.

Thoughts and ideas welcome.
