Good day to you I am a landlord myself and sometimes we have to take the blame because we do not view our property every six months and do walk through. We need to do background checks find out the reason why they have to leave their previous property. Sorry for your loss be strong this too shall pass
That’s harassment. It’s a business risk that comes with being a landlord. I know the loss very well
Respectfully. doing regular walk through and finding out why they left their previous home is NOT harassment. Renting comes with risks but it's quite in order to take these steps to avoid being in a bad situation, some landlords even ask for paystubs. @@yagga8885
Do a twice a year check next time you rent out
@yagga8885 it's the norm to have property inspection at least here in the UK. It should be part of the contract.
Of course you should put in contract that you will need to inspect the property at least twice per year.
As a landlord you will need to include in your lease contract that you will be inspecting the property every 6 months or every 12 months.
I agree. The contract should include a biannual check and inventory. Also, state tenant/s are responsible for utility amounts to date of termination of tenancy. Best of luck.
I remember moving out of a rented house and when I was done, the landlord had nothing to do because it was ready to be rented. I cleaned it and left it the way I got it. I can't understand how people do this to people's place.
Jealousy
I know exactly what you mean; been there as well.
BAD MIND
God bless you
That's because they have no integrity! They may look good on the outside but are rotten to the core. People show you who they really are.
This is the reason why a lot of owners don’t want long term rental because of these terrible tenants. So sorry for all these damages.
@diannecampbell5074 ... Exactly!
I remember when you guys posted that house.The tenant was downright nasty. People should care for other people properties like it's their own. Sue the heck out of her.i bet she was so nice and mannerrable when she was looking it to rent 🙄
Yes suh dem always come een good wen dem a look place, this tenant whos a public health inspector that signed to an agreement to keep the place clean now she is refusing n saying she not throwing anything in the yard so i let her kno she signed under false pretence so in that case ill do the next step
@rosetaylor8426 Exactly 💯 protect your property, by all means necessary 🙌
So sorry about this. It looks like the walls are affected by molds though. That explains the paint coming off the wall. It is an indication that there is excess moisture accumulating in the walls or there was inadequate ventilation.
I had a similar experience, and when ppl come to rent and behave desperate them a trouble
I do rental but i put in curtain rods.No drilling of holes without my consent
Wow! It's quite obvious a lot of those damages were deliberately done to spite you. As you said, both long & short term rental have their advantages & disadvantages, but give me the short term rental any day!
Always have a 6 months inspection clause in your lease.
These days, need monthly inspections.
Different from the nastiness those house never build good from morning the piant always a strip like wall paper and if the kida jus pull on it it gone
Thank you. I could show you many more
And the garbage if from frustration he had been there every month arguing for money and he's getting paid in US and was never being owed
What you should do is install the little hook things for the curtain rods so they don't have to drill. Ensure your contract has in all that can be done and not done and how you expect to get back the place
Kerosene lamp , that means her lights were probably cut off
Welcome! They do the same thing in foreign. Always take a deposit for damages, and always do a drop-in visit before the end of vacation and get a driver's licence. I saw the worst.
The damage seems deliberate. She might have done all this out of spite.
Going forward every 6 months inspection clause in the lease
You have to yearly check up on your place. You have to put that in your contract. Take her to court
More like monthly checks, with the type of scammers these days. Even if you don't do it monthly have it written into the lease/contract for your protection.
What the heck was she doing for that kind of damage in just 2 1/2 years?! Wow.
she belong in the woods; most likely she will end up homeless for sure!
Because the fresh paint covered all the faults
Everything you said about the NWC is true. My ex-tenant ran up the water bill and when I asked the NWC to lock off the water they said its illegal. Yet I have seen the NWC lock off other people's water for a small amount. At the end of the day I had to pay all of the outstanding water bill that was left there. NWC has a double standard with these things.
Whenever you are renting any where never put the water/light/net in your name, give them whatever they need to get same in their name because in the event they owe a dollar when moving they cannot get any connect anywhere else if they dont settle the outstanding balance.
I mean that is illegal and landlord harassment. You cant blame NWC for your poor planning lack of expertise.
The first time I paid the water the husband scam me because I was paying the water bill to him. I don't know this wife I have never mate her before and she's commentating that's crazy. The husband wanna call me nasty because I wasn't finish moving and because they wanted to make a video so.bad the did this. True them live a phonixx
This internet is for these people to make money from your pocket. The can't trixxxxxx me
I never owed him nor water commission big hole Cass. I wear a size 7 shoe how about you
I rented a house for 2yr landlord never visit I was the first tenant on when I was leaving the owner had to shake my hand I paint n clean down the house even part's where they didn't get to finish I did my landlord call me couple months ofter asking if I'm sure I don't wanna come back even if they drop the rent cause there new tenant is from straight outta hell lol😒😒some people are just NASTY
Adrian and Cass I feel it for you guys. My Dad and Stepmother went through a similar situation. The tenant deliberately destroyed the house before they left. It was so bad that the house was refurbished and sold. It took millions of dollars to refurbish. Someone made a good point. As landlords we have to do an inspection every six months. Also background checks are important. Your tenants were nasty and deliberately destroyed your place before they left. Don't despair. Pick up the pieces and learn from this experience.
I think it was deliberately done....
Even when you put the 6 months inspection if they difficult to deal with it becomes an issue as I had that in my lease and could not gain entry. And the system takes forever when you pursuing legally
But Jesus..smh..not a landlord fan but my God man..wicked act..May God help you to restructure and and recoup your loss..Such people make it bad for future tenants..Take heart my friends..
In America, the landlord is responsible for fixing water leaks (while tenants occupy the premises) and painting the property after an exiting tenant leaves.
When I lived in a rented apartment the property manager made sure that I don’t have water leakage etc… and if I did, it was fixed.
That's exactly what I'm thinking, why are they complaining when they haven't painted the property or made fixing to the plumbing while the tenant was there. The Landlord is responsible for those fixing, the cupboards looks like they weren't good to begin with. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves as landlord your making yourselves looks extremely bad!
Are you assuming that they were made aware of leakage and didn't fix it? I mean how did you draw that assumption from this video? If you didn't watch the whole video they had to go the legal route to get the tenant out for over a year.
@@nastasiasmith-williams6629 did you watch the video??? i mean they clearly said they had to go to court, if a tenant does not grant access to the property you have to go to court unnu just love chat rubbish... Clearly they have not been able to access the premises while the matter was in court...
Oh wow guys 🙄 People can be so vile. I'm so sorry this happened to you.
Hi Delprat Family, the tenant had subletted your property, that's why you have oil splatter where none should be because more than one stove was in the apartment.
Oh wow, nice to know this. Thank you 🙏🏼
Wait what?
She worse than nasty, can't even call her the right name on youtube 😒
I heard thats the "in thing" now...smh
Wait a min that cupboard wasn't make for proper materials from day one that seems like termites were already eat those cheap materials cause its not wood
Some people use kitchen badly,chop things on the raw counter,peel bananas anywhere,oil splash on the back splash etc.I would never do long term rental
This is really sad I had a similar situation to this it’s so crazy to see how people can be so callous
The lady needs to be arrested & sued man those poor innocent kids, I can just imagine what they have to go through on a daily basis.
Oh my God, I am so sorry to see this. What kind a person does this to someone property. They make it bad for other good tenants.
Nope, a lamp alone couldn't cause what I am seeing. My parents burnt Home Sweet Home lamp when we were children, and I swear our house was clean and nice and it was eight of us, including my parents.
Good morning
My husband and I are landlord ourselves. We have two rental properties and when we was renting our properties we got a realtor to rent them for us, and thank god so far we don’t have any issues. We live in the states and our properties is in Jamaica. But it is good to get a realtor because they do all the background checks not saying things can’t go wrong and tenants will be perfect, but I personally finds it helpful especially for the background checks and making sure the tenants have a steady income and that the income can cover their rent and utilities etc. long story short, it pays to get a realtor to rent your place. Only downside of getting them is whatever you renting the property for that’s what they charge you plus GCT. Example if your rent is a $100,000 P/m that’s the fee plus GCT you’ll have to pay them , a one time fee
I did that and felt comfortable, also they don't really come and do walk throughs for you, ur relationship ends when they find the tenant and the money was paid. But I wholeheartedly agree with using the services of a realtor.
Paint could have been defective because why would it be stripping like that. Outside of that nasty tenant!
omg. Jah know. pure badmind that. This is just how some of our Jamaicans behave and why people don't like renting their place. Just keep strong and continue on your journey. You guys have been an inspiration to so many of us and we are with you every step of the way. Blessings to the fullest.
Good day guys. Yes continuous use oil lamps can cause soot. It can go up in your nose too!
So sorry your place got such damage. I am a landlord myself and recently I went through the same. Tenant left owing 8 months rent, almost $100G in water bill and a lot of damage inside the house. I’m just in the process of renovating. God will work it out for you.
How come they stayed that long without paying rent 😳?
@@familyramsay8235 The lease was expired and the tenant decided he was not ready to move and he’s not going to pay rent anymore. I had to go through the court to get him out and trust me the lawyer fee is not cheap.
Put the water and light bill in your name so that you can monitor it monthly, you send the tenants the water bill and light that way if they don't pay one month you are aware.
Install the pay as you go from jps. NWC should have pay as you go as well. So If they don't pay the bills they get no service
Please do walk through every 6 months to a year.
There were two stoves. One in kitchen are and one in living room area and he stove most like had a glass backsplash that was against the wall hence, a small area on the wall looks clean but going down the wall and the floor will have evidence of cooking on a stove
Check if the black stuff is mould and if it is, check the roof and walls for leaks and damps
Give them curtain rods or at least brackets for it next time to prevent drilling and then damaging your walls.
Family, this one gives me flashbacks. I am glad the tenants are gone. You will grow from strength to strength.
So sorry you guys had to experience that.
That cupboard damage is definitely deliberate. No joke.
Something wrong with plumbing system at your house and if anything the landlord is responsible to If that. I wonder why she didn’t call you. My landlords were used to maintain the house such as paint the wall yearly
Yes,it is really sad. I also had a similar experience, but I live in America, and I rented my house in Jamaica to district constable someone who should be upholding the law she didn't pay rent for 13 months nor did she pay light and water when she left I found out my house did have light legally for 1 year so they took my meter. I thank God the day she left,but it cost about 200,000 too.
I told my Realtor no police no soldier and I was very serious about that
Same here
Mek sure is not mole cover the wall and ceiling.
Buy solid surface from Cameron in Hatfield Manchester for future counter tops. If it ever breaks, which is highly unlikely, you just get someone to bake it back. Material is similar to the stone.
Don’t give them back the first and last month rent. This was maliciously done.
Not even that can fix the damages they left, u no hear say she left n have rent in the back..smh
I am so sorry for you. That is why I am afraid to rent my place.
That mattress looks riddled with bed bugs, be careful guys.
Anytime you see potential tenants desperate, run!!
Outside of the mess, I believe some of the damage seems to be purposely done. It should have been legal to call her name so that no one has to go through this with her ever again. Wicked!!
Exactly!
Exactly
I agree, why remove cabinets and damage tiles. This was definitely a spiteful tenant.
You have to do a more serious venting of your tenants also you seem to have a moisture problem
Please say a prayer in that unit cause you don't know what that tenant was doing. This is not my place and I am upset. This is crazy not because what one person did please don't be heard on the next person you rent it too. This is so sad
So sorry this happened to your property
Nice video to use as court evidence.
Jesus, the bathroom 😮
If you burn the lamp without the shade that will happen
Faulty paint job, faulty tile job and around kitchen sink did not sealed properly so water damaged the cupboard. Concrete and tile counter work best on rentals
Candle can cause the smoke over a period of time.
Kids were there so accidentally there can be broken window.
Longterm rental is not for everyone. You have to vet prospectives.
Those tools doesnt seems like it was properly lay out from day one come on now.
Good day I am a land lord my self and I draft up. My lease agreement for me to view my property every three months and my tenant never let no one in even though she sign to it😢
She just signed under false pretense to get ur place give the tenant notice that means they have something hiding,u have to b firm its ur place not theirs
@@rosetaylor8426 yes I just got my lawyer to serve her notice 👍
Hello Mr & Mrs Delpratt I feel it. God’s promise is to prosper u and so u will. However, as in the previous comments walkthrough requests written and agreed to in the lease is a must-do. 🙏🏽
Maybe it is some sort of mold on the wall because the beds in the room looks like it is covered in mold.
sometimes the quality of paints and infrastructure influences the deteriation the wall and ceiling colours sometimes change from not being so pretty, have houselocked up for over a year these schemes houses finishes contribute everthing is just basic after use quickly things deteriate, what has made it worst this was a nasty tennant you had
That person is very wicked, that happened to me couple years ago in the UK,from that day it puts me off from letting, when they want your property they come in very friendly and nice, its so sad.
He also have the nerve to asked for reference which I refuse and explained the situation to the people what they did.
What a wicked bad mind demon tenant. How could anyone do this to someone property? Such a disgrace.
This is yet, badmine
I'm so sorry for your loss. Don't know what is wrong with some of these people. Sigh!!! I rent, and I treat my landlord house like is my own house. The very 1st place I rent I lived there for 8 years and the landlord never had to paint because I keep the place clean and the paint was white. When I was leaving, I got back all my deposit because not one damage was done to their place.
The only reason I left was because I purchased a vehicle, and they started giving me a problem saying I could not park my vehicle on the property. I should leave it on the road that was not going to happen. So, I looked somewhere else, and I leave and I know they will never fine good tennant like me again.
Where I rent now my landlord now said he would make regular visit, he use to come regularly when I just moved in to check if everything was in tact.
I could not tell when I saw my landlord because he recognized that I take very good care of his place like I would if it was my own place. I ensure that I take care of his place because people work every hard to have their house and they are offering a service so I ensure that I take every good care of the property.
What I observe is that good landlord hardly get good tennant and good tennants hardly get food landlord's.
You all should publish their faces so they don't go somewhere else to do the same to other people and sue them for damages done to your property. She is very out of order.
No sah 😮... craziness and nastiness. So sorry you guys are going through this 😢
I hope your tenants are watching because I want them to know they are nasty and have absolutely no conscience. Whenever you are leaving a rented space you need to clean it over before handing it over. Come on people.
OMG!! That's terrible!!
Yes it can be a lamp or candles I depends on how long they been using it.
Lamp without the shade can cause that they really did a terrible damage to the place I can't believe people do your place like that
That a bottle torch she was using and she left you with frosted glass.Sad,sad.
looks so to be, look like electricity did cut off
Landlord's will soon have to ask for recommendations,if they bring it from previous landlord's... they won't be able to rent.
I'm learning a lot from you guys
This is HORRIBLE!! So sorry that this happened to you. More blessings to you and your family.
My only advice to you guys on the long term rental is make sure to put window treatment over your windows before renting out. That way they won’t drive nails in your wall. They’ll just add their curtains.
I remember the video that you showed before she moved in. Back then it was very nice.
I just cannot imagine why or how the paint got washed off the walls?
Amigo that's faulty painting and the ceiling wall wasn't render properly.
13:49 trust me a lamp doesn’t do that. Something caught on fire in that house or someone tried to lit an artificial camp fire in there.
it look so for true
Many say do inspections. Tenants like that wouldn't allow you innuour own house because they know you would evict them immediately. Stop feeling sorry for people like her.
I remember watching this video years ago. So sorry this happened. In her defense however, I looked up reasons why paint would peel from walls and only one of the many reasons would be on her. Shame on her for everything else however. All the best❤
OMG !, That's terrible. How could they live like that and take the paint off the walls and tiles off the floor ,mighty God , I wouldn't be so calm for shore...
People like them make it’s hard for me and others than have to rent until we can able to purchase a house 🏡. This tenant is nasty. She doesn’t seem like she was cleaning this house. I am so sorry for your loss. I remember this apartment renovation
That’s awful. Sorry to see this. I’m a landlord myself have experienced similar situations. It’s a financial nightmare to refurbish for the next tenant to rent. Kmt. Hope you get it sorted soon.
Ok hear me out, I understand this is hard to look at but my question is, did we/you factor in wear and tear in your rental cost 💲?
For example (not necessarily real numbers for some houses)
Mortgage - $30,000 (2 Bedroom)
Unforeseen exp - $3000
Wear & tear - $2000
Possibly structural damage- $3000
Just in case tax - $2000
Income to owners- $5000
Total rental - 45,000/ monthly minimum
Plus 💯% deposit- this should be able to cover cleaning and garbage removal if the renter leaves the house/apartment dirty or leaves behind the property.
This way if the property is left in this condition, the expenses have already been factored into the renal cost.
This makes sense
I do aluminium kitchen cupboards.... More durable... No termites... No wear....
you guys are HOPPING MAD!!! I've never seen you like this. I feel for you. Keep strong ❤
No wayyyyy you have to sue her!! This is unbelievable!!
Welcome to Delpratt family, waiting for Dis vlog 🤔 must be interested
Adrian and Cas I been through this so as am writing my heart hurts I felt your pain I rented my one bedroom to a girl for about 1 year and I flow down from the cayman island suddenly because of the death of my mom and I when I reach my house her door was open and when I look and see the mess I had was to do a video and send it to my husband and she curse me out and said I am a perfect janitorial cleaner because she have to work and don’t have time to clean .when she do move out she left with my keys the police call her and she hang up the phone on them so the police give me the permission to change my lock so I feel your pain guys 😢i
A tip for you , whenever you rent a house please do frequently inspections.
Sigh , Cas and A she is not coming back for the bed. She is the type to leave her unwanted garbage there. If she had a deadline to move and it has passed I would get rid of them. God bless her kids.
You should have a regular inspection of your property .
O wow...this is wickedness. Just because it's not theirs there were no care in this world during her stay, smh
There should really be a local eviction database
I would sue her because that is destroying of property.
😳😳😳😳😳 Nasty! My plan is also property but renovate and sell on... Not renting!
Had similar tenant damage done several years ago in the kitchen and bedrooms (we almost passed out when we saw it first) and came to find out they were making and smoking meth. That’s why all that soot looking damage from the chemicals and use of multiple propane tanks in the kitchen area. I am so sorry this happened to you.
😮, my goodness
Wow!!!
Some people is too much
There was a fire in there. Probably new paper or card board
Don’t think it’s just lamp I grew up with lamp and we didn’t paint every year now bottle torche 🤷🏾♀️is another thing 😢
If you are renting a home with inadequate or missing windows/AC/Fans the ventilating of moisture could become a problem, with time. The so-called "candle/dark walls/smoke/soot" could be mold. Molding is caused by inadequate ventilating of moisture. Weeping concrete/moisture wicking in the concrete- will result as the moisture is trying to evaporate and will result in condensation/moisture on walls, flooring, ceiling. Yes! Moisture can also lift tiles- and is mostly evidenced in the center of the room as it is trying to escape/evaporate. If moisture has inadequate ventilation, it turns into a darkening of the concrete and could lead to mold- see the nice gentleman trying to rub it off the wall and the nice lady telling him to leave it alone- that is possibly mold. Installing fans, ac or another cross-ventilating window could alleviate the issue. If you are planning on renting a place and there are rooms with only a single window/ no cross windows or other ventilations- even if the place looks "great" be cautious. A lack of adequate ventilation is evidenced by peeling paint on the wall caused by the concrete weeping under the paint and subsequently lifting the paint off the wall so that it can be easily peeled off. Be aware that breathing issues could be caused by mold and could be harmful to those with health issues such as asthma.
Beside all your fansy talk about mold, breathing etc. its like you are blaming the landlord or u are assuming the house didn't have adequate ventilation. Listen I know person who lives in these homes for years and never see one looks like this, even lock up and gone overseas, none in this condition, so please get the facts and stop justify these tenants disgusting behavior from book knowledge.
It was smoke. This is not America! Home don’t develop mould like that here. Hundreds of thousands of homes across the island are built in the same way, same floor plan layout. Don’t come with speculations and assumptions based on where you are living. This is a tropical place.
@@NATURALMYSTICMK "Serious mold issues" Most definitely! Which is why many people will awake with swollen nasal cavities and other eye and throat irritations. Some could wonder: "what is that damp, musty smell in certain areas, rooms, and closets in my home." There are others who will be deluded into thinking their ear, nose, throat issues are allergies. With prolonged exposure, health will worsen, and could result in permanent lung scarring and difficulty breathing, ... if the mold is not remediated. Even a minimal exposure to mold spores can be dangerous. I know first-hand of many Airbnb's and other places in Jamaica and the tropics that are riddled with mold. Mold is most often growing under sinks, around windows, inside closets, anywhere that has moisture coupled with inadequate ventilation. As the spores spread easily, it is quickly inhaled into the lungs, so it has to be remediated carefully. Any belief in the absence of mold in Jamaica/the tropics is a critical error. Many other commenters have also pointed out the faulty construction, the quality of rental maintenance, as well as their own mold suspicions.
