Tenants from hell
By Samuel. Filed in Miscellaneous |
Tenants from hell is a saying which, for many landlords and neighbours, is true. Not all tenants pay their rent on time, cause few problems, and leave the home in a fit state when they vacate it. On the odd occasion it has been known for a new tenant to move into a home with good intent, then completely change their minds. Some tenants move into a property with the intention of not paying the rent the next time it is due. By the time the landlord has gone to the courts to evict them, over six months has gone by. This results in a loss of six months rental income for the landlord, eviction charges, and all legal costs. After this, the landlord enters his property to find all furniture either missing or damaged, the white good have disappeared, and the home now needs to be fumigated and re-plastered.
