June 7, 2012
I've been playing a hide and seek game with the tenets. They would tell me they would be out by Memorial Day. I watch and look and listen and saw little of any kind of activity related to moving-no boxes coming in. Each day was the same "we'll be out tomorrow". They waited until the afternoon of June 5th, which was the last day they legally could be there before I call the sheriff to haul them and their stuff out. They refused my standard "exit review" of the premises. Then they waited a couple of days before they returned the keys (after I called them and asked them to also bring the extra rent for the now six days they had possession of the apartment. I got the key and no rent. They refused to pay it and all I got was a lot of yelling and cursing in my front yard. So now I am out six days of rent, court costs for the eviction, which the tenets are suppose to repay.
The place was left really dirty. Thank heavens I had a deposit because all $440 went to cleaning and repairs. This was a non-smoking apartment and the tenets, a sister and her boyfriend were smoking. I had an estimate to clean the living room, including the walls, carpeting, windows and blinds to be a smoke free place. The estimate was almost $400. This has not been done yet. I have to recover this plus rent and storage of items left behind. This has resulted in a Civil Law suit and another $100 in court fees. Who knows how much if any I will recover from the robbers and their families.
