Dumpsters cost $300.

Yep they have moved out.  House is  flea and roach infested.  We burned everything that we could AND filled a 20 yard dumpster. Carpets are ruined, the whole house needs painted and fumigated.  City said we could burn anything we wanted; they were so glad that the tenants left.  The best part about this whole scene is that tenant  left me with an $850. water bill that the city says I have to pay.

It's not my fault the water bill is that high.  I told the city the  last time that this happened to shut the water off  when the bill was larger than the deposit.  I feel that the city should pay the bill.  Of course city does not agree.  Tenants moved out of state.  I may have to get an attorney on this one.  I want to get along but ....... 

I figure it will cost me close to $5,000. to get this property back in condition.

Rent

Called a slow tenant for rent today.  They assured me that they would drop it off at the office tomorrow.  Went in on a Saturday to make sure they did what they said they would do.  Nope!  So, I drive to their home and they have a trailer backed up to the f ront door.  Guess what?  No Rent.  And they are moving.   Gee this has never happened before.  NOT!

Why oh why didn't I continue teaching? I could be retired by now.
