I had a tenant who left holes on the walls, took all the light bulbs, and left 3 ft of trash in one room. There were rat feces and rat corpses everywhere. The grosest thing I've ever saw was an envelope labeled "pubes". Your property isn't too bad. At least you everything works and nothing is stolen.

I agree, the condition is really not that bad. I had renters that did 15K in damage, even won a lawsuit, but never did see a penny. It just goes on their credit report, and they don't care. I wasn't making much per month profit and probably would have been less expensive to keep it empty for 3 years while I was on deployment.

I finally figured out how and why you’re able to charge what you charge and be able to stack work up. Very smart. What gave it away is when you said it’s not safe to cut carpet outside at night. When you’re the few that will go into the bad city areas you can charge whatever you’re heart desires.

For leaning stuff like built up grime on doors and trim, even on walls sometime depending on what type of color you use, I would recommend the Magic eraser. I'ts a white sponge like thing that is common in most general stores.

@pocketmonkey101 Год назад

It's called melamine foam/sponge, you can get it much cheaper not branded "magic eraser." You can buy a lot much cheaper than branded but I've gotten batches from two companies, the first was just like the magic eraser the second fell apart quickly. If I recall the better ones were actually thicker pieces closer to the dimension of the branded.

Cool Video. Try using Easy-Off oven cleaner to clean the tub. Just spray and next day wipe off with wet sponge.

Especially with today's modern vinyl floors. I had commercial grade luxury vinyl tile installed on 3 levels of our quad level home nearly 5 years ago. The only exception where we had new carpet installed were on 2 staircases, because that was the easiest and most cost effective way to cover them at that time.

From one handyman to another, RMR-86 is the fastest acting cleaning chemical I’ve found. You can literally spray it on and watch the grout change back to native color. It has chlorine bleach in it, but the manufacturer has figured out some way to make it work faster than any other bleach I’ve ever used. On a different note, your videos have been super helpful and educational. Thank you for posting!

Don't remember where I first heard this but it works! Seal the paint can up good and store it lid down. Write the room and date on the bottom of the can. It will stay good for a long time. I recently used paint that was over 10 years old and it had not dried out. The paint seals the lid area when stored upside down.

@FKS1994 Год назад

I wouldn't re-install carpet again, honestly. It's such a mess to clean and if you allow pets, they're 100% going to have an accident and unless you deep clean the carpet, the mess ain't fully going away. I would have just put some vinyl flooring so you wouldn't have to tear out carpets every time there is an issue. The shower doesn't seem to have any windows so mold will just grow on the grout. Maybe a stronger bathroom fan could help but all you really have to do is spray some bleach onto it and it'll come right off. Honestly, not that bad... I've had tenants who would overload electrical circuits even when I told them not to do so. They would put an amplifier, microwave, and a refrigerator on the same receptacle and then call me because the breaker flipped. Huge electrical fire hazard... dude was a mess, too. Piles and piles of garbage, beer cans on the floor... When he moved out, the bedroom was filled with garbage. I'd take your tenant any day over some of the tenants I've had.

Most people would clean their house regularly. I rem my great aunt coming over once a month to clean for my grandmother. She would dust everything and clean everything all day long. Trust me the folks that rented your house there have no idea what a duster is for. Probably never saw a scrub brush or cleaning rag. They would probably be impressed with the concept of a step ladder.

@oldtimefarmboy617 Год назад

Water got and kept getting onto the paint can and set there in the lid groove and rusted it. If the lid is properly reinstalled and providing a good seal the store the can upside down. that way if any rust happens it will be on the bottom. I understand it will be up to the tenets, unless it can be stipulated in the lease, but for those keeping cats or dogs, I would suggest they get a 20 inch square box fan and then get a 20 inch fiberglass furnace filter and turn the fan on and place the filter on the back side of the fan. Not perfect. But when the fan is running it will pull the filter into the fan housing and constantly circulate the air and filter out airborne pet hair and lint. It will drastically reduce the amount of pet hair sticking all over everything. If you can get a canister vacuum with a hose and a wide tool with a soft bristle brush on it, you can rapidly run it over the walls and ceiling and get all of that pet hair and a lot of the dust and cobwebs as well.

While I was in college, I worked for a moving company on weekends and during the summer. One house we were contracted to “ pack up & move” was locked. The owners had already been relocated and their furniture would follow. We had the keys, and when we opened the front door we basically squeezed piles of dog shit into their carpet. We closed the door and went back to the office and our company rejected the moving contract. No Line Driver wanted that furniture in the back of their truck.
