Destructive/No Paying Renters

Landlords beware--Flynn & Huffman left a home in McHenry a mess!!! including feces & a dead rat on the property !!-- windows, doors broken!--damage to the ceiling and carpeting destroyed, bathroom/kitchen disgusting -- Also owed Rent money and didn't take care of grounds -- left all sorts of trash -- please beware. They appear v. sincere.

That's terrible -- had a similar thing happen to us -- to bad the courts are so in favor or the renter -- when the police came out to us they said they had the arrest a landlord for entering his own property that was being destroyed. Police Officer he hated to arrest the landlord but that was the law -- unbelievable!

There should be a board where are the names are posted..does anyone know of one?

My renters from hell moved out June 1st. Damages: over $8,000. Was advised by the Prosecuting attorney and 5 separate attorneys, to NOT EVEN BOTHER suing them. They all said to save my time, energy and money because I wouldn't get a cent out of them. Small claims court is an option (up to $5000), but even then, trying to first find them, then to collect, is another story. They destroyed all of the hardwood floors, kitchen floors, destroyed 2 toilets, left a filthy mess behind, kids took black magic marker to closet doors, there was dog feces in the bedrooms, destroyed window coverings and window screens, left behind tons of their junk. And that's only the tip of the iceberg. I had to call in the pest control for mice and ants. They caused plumbing problems beyond belief. It took from June 1 through mid August to repair and get the house back up to where it was before they moved in (actually it looks BETTER now). My property mgr has had it up for sale / rent since end of August (I know, bad time to list it) and some calls do come in, but people are really flakes.... they either don't show up or they don't call him back. So, don't feel bad, here it is November and I'm in debt and paying the mortgage pmt while the house sits empty. (I live 350 miles away), hence the property mgr.
