Rental property house repair damage
#1
So that rental lady finally moved out after 9 years. She was never late, but constantly asked me to fix silly things like replacing light bulbs and stuff

Anyway, shes out and well the house is gross. Feedback from potential buyers was that it was in such poor condition they were overwhelmed with the amount of work that needed to be done

That just sucks. My parents had a few renters do over 10k in damage to the house. It was a pain dealing with ins and they had to take the one renter to court to cover some stuff ins wouldn't.
Oh the joy of being a landlord.
