About a year ago, we had to totally gut one of our rentals after our tenants moved out. They had lived there for 3 years...no problems through 2 of them. Apparently, the parents separated near the end of the lease. The mom moved out and the dad is a truck driver, leaving the kids at home for extended periods of time. Of course, they trashed the place...but we still love being landlords:)Greg@ClubThriftyhttp://clubthrifty.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4801338959407904455.post-23326116201081681072012-09-18T23:27:40.550-04:002012-09-18T23:27:40.550-04:00Just had tenants move out after leasing it for 5 y...Just had tenants move out after leasing it for 5 years. A couple with a dog. In the town where our rental is if you don't allow dogs you lose 90% of the market... it's a dog town. The place was filthy but not damaged it did have some wear. We had very little maintenance to do during those 5 years they leased it, so we were due. We repainted the entire inside, re-stained the wood deck and and a few other repairs to get it back up to standard. About $2k spent and 6 weeks lost rent but it's rented again and $80/month more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
