Let me guess; when they moved out and it came time to return their security deposit they told you that they left it better than they found it.

I was having the same problem with missing batteries and light bulbs. So I started writing into my leases that tenants are supplied with working light bulbs and batteries at move in time and if they are missing at move out time, they will be charged $2 for every missing/not working battery and light bulb. I have't had any more problems!

I truly feel bad for the kids of these people, they can't help living in filth. The parents don't care. We had one situation where all the doors inside were kicked in and several windows were broken. When I asked the woman (girl really) about it she claimed the neighbors came in when they weren't home and broke everything. Yeah, the landlord is going to believe that.

Yesterday mu son was watching "funniest home videos" and a mom was taping her kid who made a major mess of the kitchen with all kind of stuff in which he was covered as well. It was all over the place and must have gone into the smallest corners and spaces....I wonder who ownes that home and why the mother was even taping this. It was to me more of a mother taping her neglecting her kid by doing this .....not even funny and she kept taping likes she was proud of it.

What if this is a rental and not cleaned very well which to me was hard to do, due to the amount the kid had messed up....this could be a major bug invest if not cleaned properly.

Okay I understand this was a funny program, but to me this wasn't even funny because this kid couldn't have done this in 5 minutes....

To me the mom was a pig!

I have never understood why parents are so enamored of their kids making a mess. I can't tell you how many truly disgusting pictures of kids covered in various types of food that I have seen being used as computer desktop backgrounds. I have no idea why someone would want to look at that multiple times every day, but they do. I imagine the same dynamics were at work with the video you saw.

I guess so and since I had been writing on this forum it made me think of who ownes the home and how good these so called "moms and dads" will clean afterwards because it is not a normal mess otherwise they wouldn't make the program.

I would be emberassed if my kid would ever had done something like that and blame my self for the neglect that made it able for a kid to do so...
