Some people are idiots

Sounds like you need to burn the tenant for heat, probably the most productive thing they'll ever do.

ahmmm, can't do that. Don't want the NAACP after me.

She was supposed to be out by the 15th. (no kids) But did have a boyfriend living with her. That would explain why every shade in the house is drawn 24/7. She would probably get in trouble with the state for having someone else living there.

I went over yesterday to check on the heat. Yes it was on. I also took some pictures for his insurance.

And I'm sorry but these people are SLOBS. Here's the dishes in the sink and the broken faucet. Under the sink was stuffed with dirty pots and pans too. I don't know....I guess I was just raised different.

The "salt in the wound" will be if this slob turns around and sues you for the condition she left the place. All it takes is a bleeding heart liberal judge to make the "mean old landlord" fix the house o the "little old poor lady" even though it was all her fault.

There's always the possibilty of her becoming a "squatter", which is another legal nightmare. If she hasn't returned from her vacation yet, I also wouldn't be one bit surprised if she files a complaint that you broke into her house.
Isn't this a wonderful world we live in?

Actually she was supposed to be out on the 15th. But she refused. Not sure if they are still there but I think they are. I did notice the building inspector walking around the outside of the house yesterday afternoon, but I wasn't going over to let him in without talking to the home owner first.
The water on the basement floor is drying up and the heat is still on, so that is all I an do.

From what I remember, maybe they should hire me and you as their dishwashers....



I hear ya on the "raised differently" MAC..... Sometimes I wash every dish I can BEFORE I even eat... Call me stupid, I guess

Well the tenant is gone and the home owner is back. The insurance company and adjusters will be there tomorrow to go over things . This will get the ball rolling on fixing things. They (insurance company) will be going after the former tenant pretty hard as it looks like damage will be in excess of 15K. Come to find out she works for a large railroad company making 85K a year. Why she would have turned off the heat is beyond me.
