They carved their intials in the cedar railing

They left a queen sized bed, two lazy boy chairs, a broken stereo and gigantic metal gate. A weight scale that only weighed stuff in grams and itty bitty baggies 😡 They spray painted the carpet. The NEW carpet. As in four months old.

Even though they had to be out by 1 the didn't leave til 8 pm. At 8 we ummediately changed the locks.

We were moving back in. It took FOUR 10 hour days of 3 of us cleaning.

They also owed us $1000 they didn't pay for January rent, the full $1600 for February, and $700 in unpaid hydro.
Holy cow, that's terrible. How long ago was this? Did you ever get the money they owed? I can't believe they spray painted carpet.

A year ago, and no. We were out the money.

It would've been a long process having them there not paying. First they need to not pay. Then we can apply to have them evicted. They can apply and usually get a stay. It goes on 2-3 months. On the month they didn't may Dh said "you can choose to leave voluntarily. If you are out by the end of the month you don't owe me a cent - but get out. If I have to, I will have you evicted. I've already spoke to lawyer. I'll pay to get what I'm
Owed and more. And they'll garnish your wages"

it wasn't exactly true but we counted on them to take it. They did.

We also knew that he had a record and the cops were looking for him on more than one occasion.

He did threaten to call cps on us to say he heard is absuing the kids. Dh nearly took the door off the hinges and basically told him to try it. Wouldn't they believe? A criminal getting kicked out for stealing from a young family or him?"

We did get money for a lazy boy chair!! $50

And the giant metal gate brought in $150 at the scrap yard!

Oh Sparrow, that sounds just plain horrible! I can defiantly understand taking a deposit and having a specified period for cleaning now.
I'm just worried about the opposite happening to me. My apartment has had so many issues. The check in sheet was completely filled out and they never came in for anything on it. I rented it from out of state without seeing it first, major mistake I will never make again!
Two of the maintence guys have said the unit needs remodeling and they can't believe the company was still renting it out. I'm afraid they will try to blame things on me because I have kids and a cat.
Like the windowsills are all water damaged and scratched up when we got here and I think they would blame it on my cat. Then the carpet had stains I listed like huge globs of wax and paint, yet they claim a profess all carpet cleaner comes in between each tenant. I am afraid they will blame the stains on my kids etc..

I highly recommend taking pictures when you move in and when you move out. Always request a walk-through in writing. If they refuse, get it in writing.

When we were first married we managed an apartment building in a university area. Some of the tenants left the apartments in utter filth. Just mind boggling how anyone could live like that.

No, you cannot be in any difficulty by vacating early if you are paid up. I'd let them know and insist on a walk through, though.
