yup you do win the 'landlord horror stories' for the foreseeable future.

and when I go to rent your place and I ask to contact the last tenant to see how you were as a landlord, do you think that the drug dealers will give you a good reference?


also, do you have to give them their SD back? do the cops confiscate it?

Well since they're all in jail for a while I don't think they'll be giving references on me. The police said all their personal effects are mine inside the house. I now own 2 60" tvs, a gorgeous king size bedroom furniture set and a lot of brooks brother clothing. Oh, and two cars in the garage, although I'm pretty sure I don't get to keep those. I have no idea what to do with them. I did collect first, last and security deposit and they are 4 weeks into the lease. And yes I get to keep all of it. There is no damage to the house, so this may work out in my favor quite nicely! ;D

wow, that is super crazy, but the turn of events where you get to keep all the stuff is pretty sweet. At least you get something for your troubles of having to deal with all this

Crazy!

[rubytue]

So glad to hear the house is fine! I hope you can get it turned over quickly. I'd also probably double check with a layer about keeping the stuff for some time period. I know that in some states it takes 30-60 days before the stuff is legally abandonded. But you may work out fine in the end. Yay!

[aspentosh]

Yikes!

[everam01]

I am speechless.

[mrshandy]

Ugh how terrible!

[satama]

Wow, crazy!

[whitepicketfence]

Holy crap!

Wow that's crazy!

A house that's a few row of homes down from my parents was having a gun party... They unloaded all their guns before playing. This one guy was demonstrating how awesome his gun was and held it to his head and squeezed the trigger. 'BOOM!' Apparently he had one bullet left in the barrel and killed himself.

Yikes!

Ditto Bucky, it's not "murder" when someone is shot (& killed) during a shootout with the cops.

I agree with consulting a lawyer about their personal belongings.

holy fuck!

no! this is why I'm pretty sure you're always supposed to treat a gun as if it is loaded even if you "know" it isn't.

omg - what a nightmare!
