Reasons Why I Hate My Tenant

My tenant is finally out of my life after I evicted her incompetent arse. I’m definitely ready to close this chapter in my life right after I’ve documented a list of reasons why I want to skill fuck her. I’ve wrote a few blog entries on this issue, and in parts explained my feelings towards her, but here is a neat list. Ahhh to be mature.

This list is in no particular order.

1: Late payments
I don’t think I received one payment in time. Every time rent was due she fed me with an excuse in attempt to justify the delay. Little did she care to realise is that I didn’t give a flying fuck about her stupid excuses. She signed a contract to make payment on a per calendar month basis, and that’s what I expected.
I can live with one or two late payments, but making late payment consistently got tiresome, as did her excuses.

2: Failing to make payments, period.
She failed to make payments 2 months consecutively. That left me out of pocket by about 1.5k. I wonder what I did to deserve such a rewarding experience- letting some crack-whore squat in my property. Let me tell you, there was definitely a certain amount of satisfaction knowing that I was helping the genuinely poor and needy. No, really!!

At this point I started the eviction process.

3: Benefit Fraud
My tenant was receiving cheques from the social benefit to contribute towards her living expenses. However, as mentioned in my previous point, she failed to pay the last 2 months of her rent. Where did her allowance go? A few people have their own theories in regards to where the money went; and I have a few theories of my own. Of course, my theories are all drug related.

4: Liar
She’s a compulsive liar. She lied about pretty much everything. For example, she would tell me that she was going to deposit money into my account on various occasions, but never ended up doing so.

5: Attitude
She consistently gave me attitude for chasing her for late payments. She was acting like I was an arsehole for wanting rent. I don’t think it entered her mind that she was in the wrong for making late payments and completely avoiding payments. I just assumed she was constantly high and oblivious to reality. I’m no expert in the drug industry, but I’m pretty sure her social benefit cheques gave her more than enough pennies to purchase illegal drugs on a regular basis.

6: Avoiding the situation
Ignoring my phone calls and text messages was her method of choice to solve the situation. Not the best method, may I add, but I expected nothing less. I just assumed the drug abuse distorted her perception of reality, consequently led her to believe in that method to be successful. Needless to say, the method failed. I wasn’t prepared to leave her in peace.

Of course, she started barking again once she received her eviction notice.

7: Unable to take blame
Even a 2yr child has the ability to know that shitting on the carpet is wrong. If a child knows wrong from wrong, I wonder why my 28yr old tenant struggled so much. Every time I spoke to her, she put blame onto something or someone else. For example, “I haven’t been able to make payment because my mum is ill” or “I haven’t been able to make payment because the council have messed up my payments”

The fact that her personal life and her arrangement with the council had NOTHING to do with me didn’t seem to enter her peanut sized brain. I felt like screaming at her, “SHUT UP, BITCH!!! None of that has anything to do with me. There is no clause in the contract that says your personal problems reflects on your payments. You agreed to make monthly payments, so fucking pay, you dumb crack-whore”

8: Incapable of apologising
Since she wasn’t able to take blame, she then put herself into a situation where she didn’t see the need to apologise for the situation she put me in. By the end of it, I was not only out of pocket due to her lack of rent, but I also had to dig further into my pockets to cover the letting agent fees to find me a new tenant.

Throughout the entire ordeal, I didn’t receive one single apology.

Some people just don’t understand how much they are putting there Land Lord out by not paying rent or paying it late. At least she didn’t completely destroy the place before she left. A friend of mine had a rental that re rented to 3 collage students. He was living in it for a while and it was completely remodeled when he moved out. In 3 months time they completely destroyed it. The carpet was ruined. There were holes in the walls. Cabinet doors were ripped off of there hinges. Did she really shit on the carpet or was that just a metaphor or something.

Hey Lucynda, I think most tenants assume that landlords are rich, so that’s why they think it’s ok to delay/skip on payments. I’m far from rich, and I certainly can’t afford to pay someone else’s rent. Home reposessions are at an all time high! Fortunately, my tenant left the property in really good condition! So I can’t fault her on that. But to be honest, I wouldn’t have been surprised if she trashed the place, and I was half expecting it. hahaha, the shitting on the carpet thing was just a metaphor. As in, if a 2yr old child knows wrong from wrong, then certainly a 28yr old is more than capable of knowing what’s wrong! I guess I should have been clearer
