I suspect you’ll be having on-going problems with that cheap-ass slumlord. (Throughout the past 35 or so years as both a social worker and a minister, I have loved taking on slum lords—even got one into prison for what he did to one of my clients).<BR/><BR/>You did an excellent job telling the story with prose and photos. Again, I am impressed!<BR/><BR/>Alex sends purrs to the kitties and says that he hopes that they adjust to their new castle OK.<BR/><BR/>Blessings and more to all of you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16939152657551690867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14272138.post-13439683257405839372008-03-24T09:56:00.000-07:002008-03-24T09:56:00.000-07:00` OMG!!!

(Like this one woman who left her baby's dirty diapers all over her house without even rolling them up first!)<BR/>` It doesn't surprise me, though: Lou Ryan has helped the former landlord to clean out apartments and it generally involved ripping out the carpet, scrubbing the walls, fumigating and taking out a <I>lot</I> of trash!<BR/>` In fact, the landlord remarked that when we moved out ourselves, our apartment was cleaner than any other he's seen! And it wasn't even spotless!<BR/>` I think that shows right there the standards of living some upper-ghetto people have.Spoony Quinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10730057249256927206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14272138.post-56055841196873875442008-03-23T21:49:00.000-07:002008-03-23T21:49:00.000-07:00Oh no S E E ...I always clean before I move in too...Oh no S E E ...<BR/><BR/>I always clean before I move in too, but ... but ... but ... you shouldn't have to scrape mildew off of a new apartment wall ... nor should you have to clean out former tenants liquified food. Ick.<BR/><BR/>Hubbetron and I used to own rental property and one of the tenants walked out and didn't tell us for a month ... turned off the electricity, water, and stopped paying for trash service. She left food galore in the fridge. It was summertime ... in Nebraska. We opened the fridge and the milk was on the verge of exploding. HOOOORRRRRRIIIIIBLLLLLE odors. <BR/><BR/>She alse let her dog poop and pee in her kids' rooms and her own room and just left the piles there. Poop poop poop. Everywhere poop. <BR/><BR/>So, I've been there sort of, only I knew I didn't have to move back in to the place once I cleaned it. We sold the property shortly after. <BR/><BR/>Being a landlord can be difficult, but we always took care of our tenants' needs. Mind you, at one point, this house was our house and we loved it, and we were only managing the one house ... but it was an hour away from our new house ... so challenge ... yes, but subjecting people to all sorts of nastiness ... <BR/><BR/>Mold can make you sick! Be careful. I can't wait to see your place once it's all finished. <BR/><BR/>Post more, post more!morgetronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11817172265416669063noreply@blogger.com
