Rent

   We own the most adorable little home in Vermont that we rent out. We have always had bad luck with the renters in that home but back in February, we had a young woman and her one-year-old move in. Her references checked out beautifully and we thought that finally we had found the right person.

   A few weeks ago, my husband contacted the girl to let her know he didn't receive her rent. She said that she was running a bit behind and would get the money to him by the following week. When that didn't show, he called her again and she stated she was going to move out and would get her stuff out by the following week. That never happened and when my husband drove over to the house, he found the place had been trashed.
   I went with him today with one other person to "clean up." I cannot believe that someone could do what this person did to our little home. When we entered the garage, there were piles and piles of rotten food, dirty diapers, and other horribly smelly things that we couldn't even get into the door.

   Upon entering the Kitchen area, I thought I was going to be sick. The same thing was in store for us. On counters, the refrigerator, the sink (which was toppling over with dirty dishes) and the floors was a disgusting mess. Everything was covered with rotten food and bugs. The smell, I won't even begin to go into the smell.
   Let's just say the whole house was trashed. Floors were ruined, walls also. The bathtub was full of dirty water that she first dumped orange paint into then dirty diapers and then when she had no more room in her kitchen sink continued to put dirty dishes in the tub.

   Did you ever see the movie "Pacific Heights" with Melanie Griffith, Michael Keaton, and Matthew Modine? Well, the movie is kind of, like what I have written about above. I just cannot believe someone would be so disgusting and disrespectful of a piece of property.
Well, I hope everyone has enjoyed his or her day! Have a nice night!
