REALLY? PEOPLE DO CRAP LIKE THIS??
I've pretty much come to expect the worst in most people. Especially when it comes to property management. As a League City and Friendswood Property Management expert, I have seen it all. I have learned how to reduce the likelihood of costly damages like these.
This picture shows what happens when tenants decide they don't really want to pay their electric bill. They simply removed the meter (by much force) and dumped it on the ground.
Yes, people really do crap like this!
And I'm really not a bit surprised anymore. But I've learned many creative ways to make sure and avoid these costly surprises from happening.
I have seen far worse, especially in houses going into foreclosure. I know that was tenant damage, but angry, soon to be former owners can be brutal. I looked at a REO/bank owned property, which in decent condition would have listed for about $210k, that was listed by the bank for $60k. Wow, seemed like a cheap "deal" for an investor. So here's the short list of damages: drove their car through the garage door leaving a perfect cartoon-like silhouette; cut out and took every piece of copper pipe in the house; cut through every possible piece of PVC pipe; tore toilets off the floor and threw them through the walls; took out the stair rails, kitchen cabinets, appliances, sinks, heat registers, counter tops, light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, carpet, tile, and anything else you can think of; littered the floor with dog feces; broke every piece of glass in the house; and for the grand finale...shot thousands of bee-bees through the exterior vinyl siding over virtually every square inch of the house. Man were they mad...I guess.
