I know that I haven’t updated you on my entire weekend with my tenant from hell, but I promise you that a long and detailed post on it is coming up. I just couldn’t pass this one up. Today is June 30 and I came in to my office to a voicemail from my tenant threatening me with legal action because I changed the locks on my house…the house that she moved out of…from last weekend. This is the same house that she assured me that she no longer had anything in and was completely finished with.

She says that she left some medication in the house and was PISSED, PISSED that I changed the locks on MY house that she supposedly moved out of (more on this to come in another post on mytenantfromhell.com tomorrow) from Monday. Considering that I waited until Wednesday night to have the locks changed I think that I gave her more than enough time to get her crap out. Anyyyyyway, I hope that the police send me a nice long letter or complaint so that I can prove she was gone and that my lock changing witness can show that she had already moved.

Landlords, always make sure that you have all of your stuff together, especially when dealing with trash like my now FORMER tenant.

UPDATE: So, I’ve called this woman 5 times to give her access to the home to get her “medicine” that she claims to have left behind, but she doesn’t answer. My painter says that she left a TON of garbage in the house and two ratty, probably insect infested couches there. When I had spoken to her on Monday, she said that everything was out of the house and that she had completely moved out. She was supposed to have been out from last FRIDAY!
