This is my first post here but I know ya’ll will understand. We had a tenant move out that is severely past due. We went in today and the smell was the worst I’ve ever experienced. Then we found this.
A poop room!!!!
I found one where they removed the carpet and kept puppies in there for a while. Even sealing the concrete did not remove the smell. We had to remove dry wall three feet up all around the room.
Last property I was at we charged the tenant what we could within 30 day mark, however we spent another $3000 after they were sent to collections on repair and restoration, We still did not feel comfortable leasing it for almost a year.
Haha this reminds me of a whole poop apartment I walked at an A property. It was the definition of a shitty situation. It wasn’t a skip and luckily they paid the move out damage charges. I was very explicit in my notes about the state of their apartment
I had a tenant do this once, too. Her unit was a mess and always smelled. We gave her a week to clean it up and told her we would be doing an inspection. When we went in, she had cleaned up but it still smelled. We went into one of the bedrooms, and there was a big quilt covering the floor. We lifted the quilt to find -- you guessed it -- piles and piles of dog poop.
I had a resident that painted their bathroom walls with their OWN feces! It was horrendous smelling Maintenance had to put on hazmat suits and cut out poopy drywall sheets!
So gross. When I started in this industry we had an apartment where someone had turned a closet into a cat box so they poured cat litter on the floor of the closet and just let the cats have at it. It was disgusting. Who raises these people?

I’ve seen this at a few properties. People think it’s funny and then immediately call you after they get the call from collections about the amount owed. “Well, we had to call a company that handles biohazard waste removal and that’s not cheap. So it was $$ rent, $$$ fees, and the remaining amount is property damage”
That is a felony! Ya cant go into WalMart and damage or steal that much & not have felony charges pressed if over $500.00! In my humble opinion this is the same !!!!!!

Please call animal control and report this. Pets have no voice and no choice. This pet was basically a prisoner living in it’s own filth. This is animal abuse and should be taken straight to the police or an animal control officer.
We found a dog that had passed away in a skip last summer.. We believe the residents were living in that apartment with their children while the dog was deceased because we had stopped by the apartment the day before we found the dog. Staff saw them moving out that night and we went back the next day. The power had been shut off. We called animal control and they were going to file charges against them. It was horrible

I can sympathize with that. I had a Health Care Provider with a dog and 2 boys. I entered due to smell complaints and my platform loafers sunk into pee soaked carpet. It came up over my soles. Couldn't tell you who or what peed on the carpet but it was alot.
When the resident came in to discuss, from a hospital as an employee, the urine smell was so strong I couldn't breathe!
So sad! These are the types of things we are finding to! Now we have to pay extreme amounts of money to turn and treat these units that did not generate any income. No one is fact checking on these people that are living for free. I am so worried for the owners of these properties.

Ohhhh I’ve seen something similar to this when i was managing. They had a farret that shit everywhere. Then i worked in high end apartments and had someone that traveled and just left his dog and pooped everywhere. Both apartments required carpet and pad out, special treatment, drywall cut up 12 inches (urine), sealed floors, new carpet and pad, new baseboards and an ozone machine for 2 weeks. Just terrible!
I had one that the dog poo was 12inches up the walls it must-have been sick. It was all over the carpet and in the baseboard heaters. I feel your pain!
We had a tenant move out that had been paying rent but not staying there for almost a year, so his dog could stay there. Tenant was living elsewhere. This tenant was a long term tenant by the way(over 10 years)....the entire 1600 sq foot 3 br townhome was filled from top to bottom with poop, pee, garbage everywhere....unbelieveable!
I had of those when I first started this job. The unit was empty when I was hired and had been for 3 months....she had a large dog locked in a small bedroom. The poo was packed hard on the floor about 4 inches thick....between the dog poop and the drug needles everywhere.....we had to completely gut the place.
Unfortunately, we had a tenant move out without notice last May. We found the same thing in every room of the house, every door was broken, dirty diapers were stuffed into two the air conditioner vents, spaghetti noodles in 4 air conditioner vents, and more. Total disaster and these tenants were prompt with rent payments. We spent 4 months and $15,000 to rehab the disgusting remains.
Wow it's as if people lived constantly taking psychedelic mushrooms and couldn't deal with reality! Jeeze! Diapers in the vents???? TRIPPIN HAAAAARRRRRRDDDD!!
