ADVERTISEMENTS

So, I have this little rental. It is not much. It is the house we started in. I thought I would keep it as an 'investment'. I had a young couple move in. They were just starting out with a small child. So I agreed to keep the power in my name. I filled the oil tank so they could get through the winter and they agreed to fill it up when they left. I let them be late on rent and trade work for rent. I let things slide when things were tough, even though it was hard on me. Then, in October, they didn't pay rent at all, despite promise after promise after promise. So, I had to boot them. I even agreed to give them a few extra days because they told the judge that they would fill the oil tank. Pay the power bill. Clean the place. So Saturday came and went. They didn't move. I had to threaten to call the cops and exercise my writ of assistance. Finally, they "moved". The left behind two junked cars (one of which I don't how to move it is so 'set' in). Appliances. Tires. Mounds of garbage. Broken windows. They were growing dope in one room and caused a mold problem. Holes in the drywall. A dog chewed the wooden stairs. They let the oil tank right dry and the house was on the verge of freezing. $787 to fill. I had to borrow $5000 from the bank to cover the loss and damage and it was not enough. I tried to be nice. I tried to help a young couple. And they destroyed my house. I don't know what to do....I have no money to fix the place. Yes, yes I will get a judgment. And no, the damage deposit does not cover this carnage. And in years, if I am lucky, through garnishment of wages and the PFD, I may get my money back. But I have many, many, many hours of work ahead of me. Moving garbage and cars. Fixing drywall, painting and cleaning. These pictures do not do it justice. The place is just trashed. Even as of tonight the house and yard are still full of garbage, despite 3 dump runs. I will never be nice like this again. This set my family back a lot. I cannot let the place be as I have new renters com ing in December. And I could not sell it like this...it is barely habitable. I was just starting to get a head a little. I borrowed what I could and it is not enough to even do the basics. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. FUCKKKKKKK!!!!!! Landlords. Never, ever rent to Danny or Melissa Gentry of Soldotna Alaska. Or Kenai Alaska. Daniel or Melissa Gentry. Danny or Melissa Gentry. Of Soldotna Alaska. I am repeating myself for Google. Danny or Melissa Gentry of Alaska. They destroyed my house and laughed about it. Danny and Melissa Gentry of Alaska.
