This was a Section 8 tenant.  They seem to enjoy leaving the children's toys behind.  After all, when someone gets free subsidies, money is no big deal to them.  Easy come, easy to! 

This was a huge three family flat.  This unit had 5 bedrooms. 

Aaah how sweet.  The little darlings left us a picture to remember them by.

So how does one handle all this as a landlord?

When we are new we cry, get angry, want to MAKE THEM PAY!

But after awhile, we stop crying, still get angry, and WE MAKE THEM PAY!

But by using the Court System. 

Once you get use to this, you just clean it up, paint, and rent it out again.  That is what this business is about.  Damages, fixing the place up again, and renting it out  again and again and again.

A rental home is just a business tool.  It is not your baby, or the love of your life.  It is what makes you money.

Once I got over being disgusted, and started painting, I enjoyed seeing how my husband and I transformed this home back into a nice home again.   The next open house, nobody would have guessed it had ever looked like this.

More photo's will come
