This is just an annoyance..nothing more.
I keep saying that being a landlord is never boring.
Ex A- Tenant moves in.Within the first month, her first rent cheque goes NSF and the 3 subsequent replacement cheques do also.The electrity was still connected from the previous tenant when she moved in...and was quickly disconnected by our one and only power company, when she wouldn't pay off her provious balance. She had the nerve to ask us to include electricty for a higher rent. Mind you, she hadn't paid any rent. We said no..and gave her an eviction notice. Yesterday, they moved out.
Ex B-An out of province couple reserved this above property, paid bond, and then told us they can't move in. They told us to keep a $100 'for our troubles' We keep all of the bond ....we had another person pay a bond for it yesterday.
Ex C- Another tenant didn't want to leave when her lease expired. We helped her along when we removed all the exterior and interior doors. She moved and left most everything behind. We then rented a uhaul trailer and took the soft furnishings, that smelled, to the tip, and placed clothing and toys in storage. We have Director's approval for this.The place is disgustingly dirty.
Ex D- New tenant wanted us to allow them to install a wired security system, and when we said we would only permit wireless, he wanted to leave. No problem, but it has to be within 30 days. We went to show property yesterday and all the bedroom doors have padlocks on them. Applicant and us were not amused. We went over to speak with tenant that late afternoon, and soon after police were called by the tenant. They wanted the police to charge us with Break and Enter and assaulting their children, when we 'shoved past them' (we didn't). Police backed up our legal rights. Children told police we were very nice to them.Next time we attend, we will have bolt cutters with us.He wants to get out of lease and is doing everything in his power so we cannot show it !
I think the tenant is more angry that his 'attack dogs' allowed Rob in, without the tenant's presence, and wagged their tail.
Ex E- Tenant needs to leave, because he is failing his course.He asks us to find a new tenant.No problem. Tell him to pack up everything, clean unit, and hand back keys. I found a new tenant. Excpet now, tenant went on vacation and will return 3 days after new tenant wants to move in. We offer to clean and pack his belongings..he says yes, thank you. Former tenant picks up his belongings this morning, and then asks about getting his bond back. He looked perplexed, when I said there isn't any left. After packing and cleaning, finding a new tenant, changing locks,and needing to clean after his sublessee leaves, it is used up.
Ex F (this was a fun one) Tenants left owing $760. They had a history of bouncing cheques. We deposited a $700 rent cheque and it cleared.
That left a balance of $60. We deposited another cheque and it cleared
Former tenant called irate, of course, wanting to know what was going on. We took the money that is court ordered, owing to us. He want the $640 back...sure, we will write you a cheque. It is post dated for another 2 weeks...just in case. He was threatening Rob, and I had to restrain him from getting out of the car....not worth it.
Ex G...hasn't happened yet, but it is only 11:30 am....the day is young.
Rob loves it when tenants threaten him. He gets to puff up his chest and get back in their face.
