So we finally got the tenant out and my God, she left that place a mess.
Dirty diapers everywhere, bird food everywhere, dirty dishes, you name it, it was done.
We had thought she'd stole the air handler and filed a police report but thank God that was not the case. I have to now have the report amended. She did remove the thermostat and took all the closet doors as well as cut the house to the hot water heater. Unbelievable
In financial news, other than buying plywood today to secure the house I spent nothing. It's only five days this month that I actually didn't waste any money spending.
I had stop by Michael's because I've been wanting a Budget Happy Planner, they're so cute and well I just want one. When I entered the store the line was out the door, they did not have the planner I wanted and it wasn't in my budget. I almost bought the extension packet but thought a) you don't need this, b) you haven't budgeted for this plus your fun envelope is empty and c) your homemade planner is just fine. So needless to say I left the store without a thing.
I'll admit it was tough but I'm glad I did not purchase.
Messy Tenant

Be consistent in applying your standards. Don't accept excuses and sob stories. You will go broke trying to accommodate people with excuses.

Good job on not spending money on the planner.
