There are plenty of stories about horrible, horrible landlords, but tenants aren't innocent fuzzy creatures either. In fact, far from it. They can be filthy, deceiving, and very expensive to clean up after.
We at Bored Panda discovered two Reddit posts by u/Bubble6325 and u/The_Chuckie where property owners described the worst people who stayed at their rentals and let's just say that it's a very colorful bunch.
Continue scrolling to meet them. You'll hate it!

My dad rents a few houses out and about 10 years ago he was going to collect rent from an older couple in one of his houses. Lets call her Annie, answered the door and made my dad a cuppa. He was surprised her husband, lets call him Frank, was not sitting in his normal arm chair, he was quite a big man and was always there when my dad came round. So dad asked Annie where he was and she said 'He's in bed, he died last Tuesday, I'm not really sure what to do.' This was Saturday and dad asked where she had been sleeping, 'In beside Frank.' she said. So dad was able to help Annie with the undertakers and had to help them get big Frank down the narrow stairs. He got Annie sorted with a new house to rent as well. Grief can make people do very strange things.
TL;DR The husband of a tenant died in the bed, the wife slept in the bed with him until my dad came to collect the rent.

I had a tenant tell me when they moved in that they worked for "THE Agency" (meaning CIA I guess?) and make all these demands once they got their key. Like that they wanted new security cameras only posted at one specific neighbor's door (because that tenant was their "mark) and when I refused they hung up obviously fake ones (made out of soda cans, tinfoil & string spray painted silver) pointed at my door. I lived onsite and he started watching me whenever I left or even got the mail. When I tried to take down his fake security cameras, he called CPS on me.
I don't even have kids.

A family of hippies. And I mean full-on, flowers-in-their-hair, guitar-playing, kumbaya-singing, smelled-like-a*s hippies. I used to manage a complex of town houses, and they moved into one of our houses.
After four days, they threw a huge fit about how they'd had to take their daughter to the ER due to "radiation" from a nearby cell tower. They told us they were moving out immediately and demanded an on-the-spot refund of their deposit.
Of course, I said no and went to check the town house. It was completely destroyed. There were black marks and baseball-sized holes all over the walls. The carpet had been torn up and the entire place smelled of urine and feces (we later found animal feces under the carpet). It was just absolutely disgusting. Quite frankly, I was astonished that anyone could do that much damage in just 4 days.
...somehow I don't think the cell tower was what made their daughter sick. And needless to say, they didn't get their deposit back.

One of my clients had the tenants from hell: things were going great for a year until they burned the house pretty severely from attempting to make hemp oil. Obviously, after this happened they attempted to kick them out. They refused to leave and even wouldn’t let the contractors in to work on the property damages. Finally, MONTHS pass and they get approval to have law enforcement force them out after not paying rent. Then they could finally work on getting the house fixed up again to rent out again. Once the house was fixed up, the old tenants broke into the home in revenge, poured cement down the drains, and turned on the faucets, thus flooding the entire house. So then comes the second property damage claim on their hands. They do have new (and great) tenants now, and I know they have gotten the law involved at this point, but it’s crazy how some people are so inconsiderate and entitled these days.

WilvanderHeijden 4 years ago
What good would a conviction do? This kind of people will never have any money to pay for the damages. The reality is that they move on to the next house where they will do the same. They know exactly how long it takes before they are evicted and what to do to extend the procedure. Both in the UK and the Netherlands tenants are legally protected to the extreme. I know for sure that in the Netherlands it can take up to 18 months to get a tenant evicted.

Police called in possibly three times since baby was born, social services have visited and STILL they remain, not paying rent, fighting each other and always yelling, the police caught him smoking drugs the last time but let him go the next day, it’s like they not just don’t care about anyone else, they also don’t care about themselves.

My super told me this story about a guy who was getting evicted in our building a few years back. Apparently he was a real piece of work and hadn't paid rent in months. Anyway, he put off packing until the day before his eviction and left a bunch of trash and had slashed all his leather furniture and left it behind, and glued tinfoil on all the windows for some reason.
The unit was in a real state so they completely renovated it; new tile, new hardwood, new bathroom, the works...but they couldn't get rid of "the smell". A pungent fishy trash odor, made worse by it being summertime, which just permeated the entire unit. Even though it had been cleaned top to bottom, it wouldn't go away.
You know that spot under your kitchen sink cabinet, that flat baseboard-like piece that covers the empty space from the base of the cabinet to the floor? You guessed it, the evicted guy had apparently pried it open, stuffed it with raw fish-garbage and sealed that baby back up as his last 'f*ck you' for being evicted. I don't know what sparked them to check, but it had been a couple weeks before they found it.

My ex still had 3 months on his lease, so he sublet his apartment to a friend we both knew who had had a falling out with her roommate & needed a place to stay. Win/win for both of us. The day she was supposed to move out we went over to clean and get the keys back. This was around 3:00pm on a Saturday. She hadn't packed one box. She was quite the clothes horse and the closet was bulging to the point the doors were off the track. The carpet was filthy, the stovetop was covered in an inch of grease, it didn't look like the kitchen or bathroom had been cleaned the entire time she'd been there, the 7 y/o had colored all over the walls. Just on & on. I couldn't believe the damage (not only were we unable to get it clean, he lost his $800 deposit and another $2000 for new carpet and paint). And this f*cking b*tch acted like we were evicting her or something. She had known the whole time that this was her move out date. Never wanted to kick the s**t out of anyone so badly.

Our parents rented a floor of their 2-family home to a guy who was an electrician. In return for lower rent, he did electrical improvements and minor repairs to the house.
All of a sudden, our parents' electric bill nearly doubled. So they called the power company for an inspection and discovered that the tenant had illegally re-wired his connection so that it was drawing most of the current for his apartment from their electric meter instead of his.
They had given him a substantial break in the rent, and he abused their kindness. Dad simply said, "No good deed goes unpunished."

I was a renter in a single floor building that had three apartments. One day the landlord shows up to tell me that my former neighbor, who I had never spoken with, had run off owing rent, had damaged the apartment and had rigged it so he was drawing all his electricity through my apartment. On top of that he had been stealing my cable. They asked me had I not noticed a spike in my electric bill.

My mother owns a house on the coast she inherited from her aunt and rents it out to people now that she's moved. Makes great money considering it's a decent sized town and the house is close to the beach.
She doesn't allow animals due to the old wool carpets that are not easily replaceable. But she legally can not keep children out.
I didn't see it for myself, but after several attempts to contact the tenants, she drove down there herself and let herself in. Place was f*cking pigsty. Diapers, vomit, baby food everywhere, literal sh*t smeared on the wall and flung onto the ceilings; carpets were soaked and stained with piss. Tenants were no where to be found. She talked to the neighbor and they'd apparently been gone for a month. Had to get the police to track them down.

The first time I rented out my house, I was approached by a sweet older lady who had custody of her grandkids (along with her husband) and had bad credit due to "caring for her elderly mother". Oh, and the place she was staying at had a sex offender next door so they needed out ASAP. And of course they didn't have any pets and they happily signed a year lease with me not requiring a security deposit (they were supposed to paint in lieu).
Well, I found out they are chronic deadbeats. Their pill head adult daughter also lives with them and the 3 grandkids and they hoarde animals. They were only there 3 months, but kept complaining about repairs and asking to deduct.
The house was awful and dirty when we got it back. The grass was so bad, I got a letter from the city. There was random broken furniture buried in the grass. Concrete blocks everywhere. I had to replace the carpets due to cat piss and I fought with fleas in my own home for 3 months due to catching them from there.
I closely follow our local Facebook rental groups and i make sure to go behind her back to contact every home she expresses an interest in.
Also I should mention: South Louisiana. You can't even go 2 weeks without your yard looking like cr*p if you don't mow. And we have "super fleas" locally (according to my vet) that can get out of control pretty fast as well. I think using my personal carpet cleaner is probably where I went wrong there.
However, the area they're scamming in has become extremely scarce for rentals--when mine is available, we only leave the ad up for a few hours because we can't handle the call volume. It won't be long before they truly are homeless and will be driven out of the area as we are also in a very landlord friendly state.

That's so horrible. That happened to a house across the street from me just before the pandemic began. Two middle aged adults, young daughter and her husband, a toddler from her prior relationship, and a teen son. We didn't know who owned the house but after they'd been there a couple months me, my son, and a neighbor friend began calling it "The Burbs" house cause it was as bad as the Klopecks. They were there about 6 months and you could tell it was going downhill fast. The landlord came by one afternoon and they moved late at night, leaving a bunch of things behind and were never seen again. The landlord's clean up crew came by and were cussing outside. They had to rip out cabinets, the toilets, wooden floors, and drywall to replace it. It took two of the long industrial dumpsters full of trash bags to be hauled out and it took 5 months of solid work by 3 men to rent it again. They said there was 6 months worth of garbage in the house diapers, cat litter, food, etc.

Always get references before renting to someone. Call those references. And when you speak to them, you should start with, "Person X gave me your name as a reference. Please could you tell me what relation Person X is to you?" because a lot of times, when the reference is not expecting it, they will tell you that they are a family member. It is also worth paying for a credit check for any potential tenants. And lastly, go through a reputable agency that offers safeguards against problem tenants and unpaid rent so you don't get destroyed by bad tenants.

My last landlord had in our agreement a "mold clause" Basically he explained that he rented a unit to a guy and he lined the walls of the apartment with what I can assume was plastic wrap. and got the humidity in the house so high and was growing mold and mushrooms on the walls of the place. So when the guy eventually was evicted they had to gut the entire unit.

My ex rented her old place to a couple, and they promptly got the place all moldy. They were constantly boiling things on the stove, refused to use the bathroom exhaust fans, and didn't feel that opening windows was necessary. They just lived in a dank humid house and let it grow mold. Thankfully it wasn't awful enough to require professional remediation.

I do not have a tenant but my friend here, who doesn't have reddit, is telling me about a current tenant. This couple, nicknamed dumb and dumber, are helpless. She overloaded the bathroom outlet and flipped the outlet switch. She didn't know all she had to do what push the button back in and she would have electricity again, so she calls an electrictian who warns her it will be a minimum of $150 for him to drive out there and fix this. He walks in and spends less than a second pushing the button in. She then sends the landlord the bill, which the landlord refused to pay. Calls asking who will clean their bathroom, mow their grass, can they come out to flip the breaker box for them, I don't like this fridge...buy us a new one, why is it a big deal if we are late with rent, our washing machine we moved in with isn't working well isn't it your job to buy us a new one, what is an air filter and why do I have to change it, I need someone to hold our mail while we go on vacation can you contact the post office? Two absolutely helpless adults with kids. Oh, and I had to add this in. The air conditioner fails. She lets them know at maybe 9pm at night. They contact an HVAC repair company who will be out there in the AM. Instead of waiting less than 12 hours, she goes to the store in the middle of the night and buys multiple window units to install at 2am. Which she cannot do, because outlets are too hard for her. She then tells the landlord theyre responsible for repaying her for the multiple window AC units. HVAC guy had the AC repaired in less than an hour that morning. The tenant is still out $400 because legally the landlord doesn't have to pay her for that.

Not a landlord but was an RA (resident advisor) for dorms in college. We didn't necessarily evict but we definitely saw some stuff when we did the final inspections of rooms after the academic year was over.
In any case, one year there was this girl who had a single room (most rooms were 2 to a room) and she was SUPER quiet. I'd say hi to her in the hallways and stuff but mostly she kept to herself.
When the year was up, she signed up for a room checkout inspection but when I went in, she was already gone. That's not that unusual; sometimes things happen, but usually students will let their RA know if they won't physically be there for the inspection.
I did my usual check of stuff - ok the fridge is cleaned out, nothing in the drawers, etc.- and everything was pretty normal. Then I opened her closet door.
There was an entire freakin self portrait mural covering her entire closet wall...painted in her own blood.
There was a lot of weird stuff I saw as an RA, but that was probably the weirdest.

This is probably a place where a great majority of mental health issues arise to a noticeable level for the first time and are acted upon in many different ways. They are probably searching for outlets to rid themselves of their problems and expressing many of these behaviors for the first time as well.

Upstairs carpet ruined with fertilizer because they grew weed in there, wallpaper ruined by pouring ashes from the stove behind the bed, downstairs wooden floor ruined and needed to be sanded, window smashed, one door had a hole in it made with an axe, rent unpaid and loud parties in the yard. Needless to say, we went to court.
One truck driver's family on the other hand managed to turn white bathroom sink and tiles almost black, an accomplishment in itself. Not to mention not paying the rent.
Multiple tenants over the years, from the past 15 years I can count exactly one who paid rent on time and kept the place in good condition. One.
I would sell the damn place tomorrow and quit being a landlord, but I'm not the only owner so it's not exactly up to me.

As long as she either paints it white herself, or hires a painter herself, or pays for the landlord to have it painted out of her deposit, pink walls aren’t a huge deal. Sounds like she kept the place pretty nice, even if it looked like it was hosed down with Pepto-Bismol. However, if the landlord just grabbed and ate one of her pink “display” cupcakes (a clue to her level of housekeeping) without asking first—-and it doesn’t sound like he did—-I can’t really blame her for being angry. Besides, if they knew she always had them on display, wouldn’t he even think they might not be fresh—-or real? He could’ve ended up with a mouthful of stale cupcake. Or wax.

She missed going 3 times. We told her if she didn't go, she would be evicted, because we do not allow illegal drugs in our units & since we had called the police 3 times because he beat her. She did go to rehab, but not as long as she was supposed to. She reverted back to doing her drugs, and having her meth head friends stay at the suite, so we told her she had to leave.

Friend of mine bought a former drug house. Had to be completely gutted to the studs and even the yard had to be replaced due to needles in the soil. Want a real shocker? Look up the Holmes on Homes episode (S6 E6 I think) where a woman rented out her house and tenant turned it into a grow house. No way would I ever rent anything to anyone.

I had a female tenant who lived in a basement apartment. We regularly heard a dog barking in her unit. Funny thing though, she didn't own a dog. She had every light in the unit on, 24/7, until she called complaining about not having any power. Went in to check it and she had power. Every light bulb was burned out though. All she had in the place was a futon and Bibles. Bibles in every room, open to different pages. When we finally got her out for nonpayment (of course), she hired a moving company to move her belongings. The futon and a garbage bag full of clothes.

My friend works in real estate, neighbors complain of foul smell coming from one of the apartments her company manages. The tenant is a man in his 30's, nice and proper. Nothing weird about him but the complaints keep coming and they are left with no choice but to take action.
When they finally get in, the place is deserted but there is poop everywhere. Like piles of feces in the bathtub, in corners of the room.... The guy just shat everywhere and apparently enjoyed collecting it or something. It was really bad, and it traumatized all the people involved. The feces had been sitting there for a while too. They had a company clean up the mess and couldn't find the guy if I remember correctly. Weird story...

There was this one guy, who had a small family as a downstairs neighbour who were constantly complaining about him making excessive noise. Many noise complaints were filed, and the police were called multiple times. Neither we nor the police actually heard him making noise though. And he kept pleading that he always kept it quiet, and that the noise wasn't him. The weeks went by, and they kept arguing, taking up most of our time with complaints and attempts to negotiate an agreement so they would stop arguing. We later got a phone call from the mans downstairs neighbour, they were hysterical and told us to come over immediately. When we arrived, we found that he had sawed a hole in his floor, and taken a giant sh*t down to the neighbours living room.

I decided, after the first time I rented a ground floor apartment, that from then on I would always live on the upper floor. People just have NO idea how f*****g thin some walls and floors can be. Why do you need to blast your music—-with the bass turned up—-so loud the building vibrates? Believe me, you are not “sharing” your music with anybody. Some of us have to get up and go to work in the morning, or have babies who finally! got to sleep. And how the hell can a petite 100 lb girl sound like a herd of elephants walking across the floor? Yeah, I prefer to be on the top floor.

When I bought a house the tenants came with it. When they finally moved after not paying for 6 months I found out they had not paid any of their utilities for over a year or so. I was told I had to pay them to avoid a lien on my property. So if I ever rent again I'll have utilities in my name along with a clause for tenants to pay if usage exceeds a reasonable amount.

The hoarders. I can’t sort them from worst to...less worse, but I’ll tell you I’ve seen 5 that have used their bathroom as storage to the point that they can no longer use that bathroom. The thing about toilets is that wax rings will eventually dry out and crack if you don’t keep them moist with occasional flushes. Once they crack, they leak into the unit below and I have to be an a*shole and barge into your unit, empty the bathroom, and stop the leak. It was always super gross and I always took a shower once I got home because plumbers refuse to do the empty-cr*p-out-of-the-bathroom job. Understandably. Flush the toilet you don’t use regularly, people!

My sister once complained of a bad smell in the large bathroom of my father's house. My father rarely used the large bathroom as he had a 3/4 bath downstairs near his bedroom. Turned out the shower hadn't been on in months during the summer. The drain (s-curve pipe) had dried up and methane was making it's way from the septic tank into the house. Good thing no one was sleeping upstairs or smoked...... Ran the water for a few minutes and left a note for my dad saying "Every Sunday after Church Service, flush the toilet and run the shower in the big bathroom!" Never had a problem with it again.

Not a landlord, but I worked as a handyman one summer and we had to repair a house that was rented out by college students. We get inside and the place is absolutely trashed. There holes in the walls, in the doors, the windows were broken, cabinets ripped off and to top it all off, the entire place reeked of pee because the previous tenants locked their dog in a small room while they went home on vacation. We put an absurd amount of work into the house over a three-day span. I've never seen a house in that condition before. But one day we were talking to the landlord and she makes the comment "These were the second-worst tenants we've ever had." My coworker and I look at each other and ask what the worst tenants were, because, like I said, it looked like a war was fought inside this house. She tells us that one time, the house had pretty similar damage, except before the tenants left, they filled hundreds of condoms with water and pinned them to the ceiling. I don't repair houses anymore.

Contempt. Contempt for anyone but yourselves. Basically, being an asshole who thinks they’re clever, and “got one over” the landlord. I’ve worked in property management and vacation rentals. I’ve seen places that were utterly destroyed in a weekend—-I mean sofas chainsawed in half, toilets broken in pieces (the toilet bowl too), carpets still wet with human urine, s**t on walls (WTF?), pieces of food stuck to the ceiling, windows broken, you name it. I’ve seen summer seasonal rentals in the same shape, only add in toilets and tubs totally blackened and cockroaches everywhere from months of filth and destruction, instead of days. Some people are nothing but unhousebroken, uncivilized, wallowing in filth pigs (sorry to insult actual members of the porcine family). I know they’ve always been around, it’s just that they now feel incredibly entitled to live rent free, trash other people’s property, move out in the middle of the night, and expect the rest of us to just take the loss and pay the bills to fix everything.

Some people refuse to accept the reason they're being evicted is their own fault. They want to blame all their problems on someone else. More of the entitled crowd.

Seems like there'd be a better system in place for the people who destroy properties like this, for other people to be able to review prior to occupancy. Realizing tho, that there'd probably be innocent people who'd also fall through the cracks into the list as well and be affected by the negative results.

Glue huffer. I was putting veneer on cabinets with a respirator. She walked into the unit asking where "it" was. I thought the odor was too strong and apologized. She went right for the bucket and started taking deep breaths. My buddy and I both said nooooo in what seemed to be in slow motion. It wasn't her first glue rodeo, so you can imagine how fried her brain already was/is.

It's hard to accept that ppl like that are ill sometimes. It really makes you want to kick their ass up around their shoulder blades to get their attention but it wouldn't work.

Son of a landlord. I was sent to clean out a garage unit for a few extra bucks. brought a guy with me because it was a lot. Turns out the lady who'd been renting the unit had been secretly living in the garage for months. We threw out used needles, family photos, one particularly odd couch that we had to break into pieces just to lift it out of there, and the piece de resistence.... four five gallon buckets full of human waste. We didn't know it was human waste until the last bucket was on the truck and the lid popped off and splashed a little bit. I have never smelled anything so foul.

My older sister and her boyfriend rented out their house when they moved out west for work. After several months of non-payment, the young adult male and female tenants were told to move out.

You know, sometimes hoarders have no idea what’s buried under all the junk and trash, and there could be a few pieces in there that might be worth a pretty penny. If the tenant left all of this behind for you to dispose of, you should do a little research and call in an appraiser for anything you think is potentially valuable. You could recoup some of your losses by taking some pictures and putting it all on eBay, or a specialty auction if it’s something extra collectible or fine. Regardless, I hope the hoarder finally gets the mental health treatment she needs, so she can live the rest of her life in much healthier conditions.
Lyone Fein 4 years ago
Sorry, but that doesn't look like hoarding to me. It looks like an art/ifact collection that would be perfectly suited for someone who had a house to put it in. Just because someone is not currently living in a space that can comfortably fit their possessions that doesn't make them a hoarder.

I'm sure a lot of people can't possibly understand this, but for hoarders, every item you can see is has some special meaning, regardless of its condition, and feels comforted by its presence. There are a lot of hoarders who hate the conditions they live in, but the compulsion to keep acquiring/collecting more things is stronger than the desire to have an orderly life.

On top of it, the victim is the one who is under suspicion and has to prove everything. Maybe look at the person’s history with your company first, before deciding they’re lying? If someone goes from a perfect paying customer, for several years, with a decent credit balance to draining every penny in a few hours, that’s very much out of character behavior. I mean, credit card companies are great for freezing your account and calling you when they detect unusual activity—-even if it’s just you doing normal stuff like having some work done on your car at a new garage (happened to me—-the garage was even right down the street from me in my same town)—-so why aren’t they seeing red flags all over the place when something like that happens, freezing your account, and calling you as soon as it’s detected?

Tenant paid deposit and first month's rent. I'm guessing somebody got laid off real soon after, because they didn't move much in. After not paying second month, and not answering phone calls, it was time for eviction (which goes on record). Tenant makes up a story about police saying they couldn't come back after the shooting. I have no idea what shooting they're talking about, but if they can produce a police report, we can cancel the eviction. Tenant goes to perfectly decent house and shoots up the back door. Eviction process continued and I had to get a new door installed.

My dad rented out our old house. He thought he had a good tenant. Tenent even asked to repaint the interior if we deducted one months rent. Sounded good. Then when they wanted to move out we got a look at the place. When they painted they used the cheapest paint, painted door knobs and outlets and left big paint strokes. Looked way worse than what it must have looked unpainted. And there were large holes torn in the carpet. And none of the toilets worked, they just ran constantly. And they must have hung wet clothes on the bathroom facets because none of those worked and were rusted beyond repair. My childhood home looked terrible and we had to repair. Oh, the reason we thought he'd be a good tenant? He was an executive hire to run the local hospital. Seems him and his family must have just lived like pigs in that filth.

My friend's a landlord. He once evicted tenants in January after they had failed to pay rent for several months, even though he had tried to be patient with them.

My dad was a landlord and he had to deal with lots of crazy people. I'm not sure about the privacy of most stories but there is one that will always stick out, the man that tried to smoke out his neighbors. A lot of my dads tenants were somewhat out there but this guy was long gone. His upstairs neighbors were annoying him where he actually set his apartment on fire to "smoke them out". It was also supposed to be a suicide attempt but according to him, "It got too hot" so he left. The tenant got sued, but plead insanity so I don't know what happened to him but I remember my dad had to pay all of the repair costs because the tenant apparently couldn't.

We also just sold a house (in Germany) because of bad experiences with tenants. Should have been our retirement provisions. One tenant slept drunk in front of our front door several times, one urinated in the whole appartment and you could smell it all over the house, one didn't come back one day and we had to wait nearly 2 years until the appartment was cleared (we paid). Being a landlord is no fun.
Cold Contagious 4 years ago
It's a very sad situation, even with myself being a animal lover, so many people view animals as a non-issue after moving into a home and don't feel like people's allergies are any valid concern. They really don't understand how pet hair becomes embedded into the flooring, encrusted into the ventilation and duct work, and ends up in every square inch of a home. While my cat doesn't bother me, her shedding is everywhere and my mom can only be in my house for a few hours before her eyes are swollen and draining, nose red running and itching, sneezing, wheezing, and that's with a deep cleaning before she came and not holding even petting the cat. It's hard for some to imagine how ppl can be affected by allergies to animals.

Not mine but my Mother’s. She rented an apartment unit to a guy who wanted us to replace the normal toilet with a bidet. As the toilet worked perfectly fine and to rip it out and replace it with a bidet was unnecessarily expensive, she refused. The guy didn’t contest it so we thought everything was fine. Fast forward to a year later and the downstairs neighbour complains of leakage. We check the unit and it turns out the guy replaced the toilet with a bidet himself, only he did a bad job of installing it properly so it constantly leaked. Instead of fixing it, he had let the water accumulate and never bothered to mop it up so the bathroom was filled with stale water, had mold growing in patches, and the water had leaked through the tiles and ruined the floor. He didn’t get his deposit back.

I had a tenet that I evicted recently. They were constantly late on rent. Never paid the water bill. But the I ig on the cake was they said they had no pets, but actually had a dog and a cat. That would have been fine if they told me and paid the additional deposit and pet rent. The dog chewed up all of the baseboards and tore up and through carpet all over the house. I went through their Facebook to investigate when pets started living in my unit. It was literally from day 1. I asked the tenet about the pets and they said”no we don’t have any”. I asked why there was a post with a leash on it going under the back door. They had no answer. So I sent them a bill for all of the back pet rent and pet deposit along with paying all the late fees owed and water bill. They moved out without telling me. I secured the property after they didn’t pay for 2 months. All of the damage was shocking. I’m still trying to collect, but they are doing everything they can to not pay.
Kathryn Baylis 4 years ago (edited)
Hate to admit it, but I had two cats, for 5 years, in a no pets unit. However, since even I didn’t want to live in a hairy house that stunk, I stayed well on top of the litter box scooping, the cleaning, and the vacuuming. I put everything back the way it was when I moved in (including their godawful padded toilet seat and matching shower curtain, etc which were some of the first things I changed the first few days I lived there), and even shampooed the carpets myself before moving out. I was present at the inspection before my deposit was refunded. The agent even commented “Wow! Did anybody actually live here for 5 years?” Because the place was spotless, and I had already cleaned the carpet (thereby saving them the expense), it passed inspection. I got my deposit, with interest, plus what it would’ve cost them to have the carpet cleaned, back within a couple days. THAT’S how you leave a rental, especially if you’ve had animals you’re not supposed to have.
Sam Chilton 4 years ago (edited)
Unless they specify no animals for a personal reason, a lot of landlords/ladies are actually pretty easy going about pets if you are responsible. Technically I'm not allowed to have pets, which I don't, but was told it was ok if they're not a problem. However, I was told no bikes, which is stupid. Just because a previous tenant damaged a door, it means I can't bring a bike indoors (even thought the neighbours do).

One of my residents was a paranoid schizophrenic and thought his upstairs neighbors were whispering his name through vents and gassing him out with poison. When he finally abandoned the apartment, he had filled every possible hole inside the place with insulation. Every outlet, vent and even windows were completely blocked off.

Cripes. While I’m all for trying to help people with such issues stay on their meds so they can hold down jobs and live independently, the problem is that our social services sector is so grossly underfunded that there aren’t enough “minders” to meet the demand. Those they do have are so overloaded that they can’t really spend much time with each client, to make sure everything is running smoothly. Unfortunately, many people on such meds tend to get to such a nice high level of functioning that they start to think they don’t need to take their meds anymore. The day they stop is the top of a very slippery slope all the way down to losing their job, their home, their relationships, their everything, and ending up back on the street. It’s a wonderful program, but it is imperative that it’s properly funded.
