What's Your WORST Tenant Experience? How Did You Deal With Them?
Happy Friday! As I go through screening potential renters for my unit, I'm intrigued by all the horror stories I hear. My previous tenants were great, always paid on time and took care of the property. They were less than ideal at cleaning and always wanted more animals but nothing I couldn't handle.
One of my co-workers, let's call him John, told me a story about how he had a terrible tenant who never paid rent and did drugs in his property. Of course, the guy didn't want to leave. So, John was a realtor and he found a creative way to ANNOY the tenant so much that he eventually moved. He took a "For Sale" sign and put it out front of his rental. John told his tenant it just wasn't working out so he had to sell it. John asked a few of his realtor buddies to act as interested buyers. He would have them filter through so often that the tenant eventually packed up and left.
