The fun landlords have to deal with when a tenant leaves

I can't tell you the fun I've had to deal with after a tenant vacates a property. I've had dirty diapers, one year old kitty litter, and more rotten food that I care to look.


Probably the worst thing was the ashes of my tenant's husband (he was a great guy...I really didn't want to be that close to him).
