Yeah, people don't care when it isn't their property. I am lucky, my tenants are ok, but their kids are very messy and I already found a hole in the wall! But, they are going to rent from me for a long time, so I don't have to worry about cleaning the place up for a while. |
If you keep the security deposit high, they will make an effort to clean the place up when leaving because they will want their money back. We are in the process of moving out of an apartment, which is not trashed one bit, but I will go over and vaccuum this weekend and make sure everything looks the way it did a year ago when we started renting because I want my 600 dollars back. Not that I would have broken the windows, or ripped the screens apart had the deposit been lower, but now I want the place to look like it can be rented the next day, so the landlord will give my money back after we walk him through the house and return the keys. |
Any time I rented I tried to make sure the house looked better when I left than when I went in it! I had always gotten my security deposit back. Until the last house I lived in. I paid a $450 deposit and she wouldn't let me have a dime of it back. I couldn't find one of the keys to the doors and she said she had to replace all the locks in the whole house because of the one key. A guy we knew moved in there after me and she hadn't replaced any of the locks. Go figure. |
That is Sad How awful that people just don't care. I rented for a number of years and I never treated people's property that way. However I had a real A*&H(**e for a landlord the very last place I rented. I got Remmy 3 weeks before my lease was up and he knew I was moving out. He charged me the FULL pet deposit for three weeks! I did not even have to tell him that I had a pet but decided to do the right thing. I thought that was CRAZY, but I paid it. Then when I moved out he decided to sell his condo. There were scratched on the kitchen counter. The counter was made out of laminate. The buyer did not want laminate but wanted it replaced. Guess what he replaced it with...and I paid for the whole thing. A butcher block counter top...which is way more expensive then laminate. That guy was a real JERK! |
