These 19 Landlords Had Tenants From Hell

Townhouse style apartment, one of the rooms had several fist sized holes in the wall and other rooms had obviously bad patch-up jobs done, and whomever had been making the holes decided that it would be a good idea to use the holes as garbage receptacles, had to tear out all of the walls just to make sure we got all of the trash.

Small but nice house in a very well off suburban neighborhood, was being rented by guys who actually lived out of state, but would use it as a party house and drug den when they wanted to party or fell off the wagon. Trash, broken furniture, clothing and drug paraphernalia everywhere, lots of tiny bags of various drugs, unmarked medication bottles half full of pills, needles hidden all over the place, walls with holes or completely caved in, mold and mildew everywhere. While cleaning out a room went to empty out a desk to make it a little easier to get out to the dumpster and found tons of hand written letters to one of the guys from his wife and children all begging for him to get sober and be in their lives again, including pictures drawn by what I assume was a small child in crayon and markers.

Krusty: A Vietnam vet. I never knew his real name, but g/f always referred to him as “Krusty” because he bore an uncanny resemblance to Krusty the Clown. He got in trouble multiple times for climbing out his window trying to install surveillance cameras on the ledges of the building. He was insanely paranoid, and police were called once because he was crawling around the front lawn of the building with a loaded shotgun.

My mom had some tenants in a rental property who apparently were serial crap sacks and would live in a place until they got evicted, then move on to the next place. They’d do things like not pay rent while claiming AC was broken or some other property related issue then avoid actually letting it be examined or fixed. Long story short, after getting evicted they waited until the very last minute to move out, left a bunch of their stuff behind, and filled a microwave with hot dogs which they left to rot.
