What To Do?

Its another lovely Monday here in Alabama, The cold moved in last night and its a shocker to this old body. The rain is gone for now and I am glad. I have a million things to do and I am making my mind up which one it`ll be for today. I had thought about taking a load of the trash off the tenant left but I am going to give her one more try to get rid of it, she has to come back because she left her pool table! But the truck load of trash is stinking the place up, it has to go if I have to take it to the dump myself. I did take a few pictures for your viewing pleasure and this is one where the trash can sat, I had told her while inspecting to clean that wall and in a month it looked 10 times worst. I had to clean these walls and the floor. The walls took an hour of scrubbing and soaking and more scrubbing, well the floor too!. I went back yesterday and painted the clean and dry walls. Now you know why I went through a box of gloves the first day. Besides the bathroom stinking and the trash this area was the worst in the house. I may go and paint the small kitchen and the rest of the hall, I am really tired and my neck hurts but its got to be done. But I so want to do nothing but that is not an option, I have so much on schedule this week that I cannot cancel. How is Monday looking for you?

Ewwww just why?? Wondering do you ask for a security deposit? Wouldn't make the clean up easier but at least the supplies would be paid for. I am feeling better, so school and cleaning.

It's always a shame when tenets aren't respectful of their rentals. I'm doin laundry little by little, my home made laundry line isn't very long so I only do small amounts at a time and have to wait for the stuff to dry before I hang more out to dry.

Driers do come in handy @andriaperry but I'm not shellin out money to get it fixed, I've had the thing since 1996 so I figure I got my money's worth.

Some tenants can be dirty. You did a good job doing the cleaning although she was supposed to. I will never marry a woman who cannot clean up where she lives. God forbid!

@andriaperry That is the truth. They dress up like if they cannot and have not seen dirt. When you go to their house, it smells.

Awful for you to have to do all that- and I do hope you get through your list fast and then you can relax a bit.

That is really nasty and I can't believe people choose to live like this. How hard is it to wipe it clean so that it doesn't turn into that mess. Do your tenants leave a deposit when they rent so you can use it to clean up after them when they leave?

Yes! And this one moved at the end / first of the month so she did not try to use it for a free months rent. Plus she left the water on, it may not be on today but it has been since she gave me th keys last Thursday.

That is so gross. It's bad enough cleaning up your own mess and trash without having to tackle someone else's.
