Yeah it's a tough thing to be a landlord.
Even the guy I bought my house from went thru the same deal.
He renovated the house and had it on the market, I made an offer he turned it down. No biggie.
Decided to rent it out, kid was a heroin dealer and using the house as a drop off and pick up point, driving a brand new escalade.
The guy (35 yrs old) decides he's making too much money to pay the rent, so stops paying, 4 months of no rent. Legal issues etc.
Finally gets the guy and "friends" evicted.
When he starts cleaning the house he finds 16 one gallon plastic laundry jugs full of used syringes.
The water heater and heat room was stuff floor to ceiling with dirty clothes and used needles and drug products.
After he threw them out he had to replace all the carpets and have the whole house repainted cause of smoke damage and the smell.
Guy has been a friend of the family for 30 plus years, one of the nicest guys I've ever met. He was just trying to better his families life with an investment opportunity.
He ended up accepting my offer for the house. All worked out in the end.
The x tentant has since been arrested numerous times for drug charges and been in jail in and out since.
