Anyone here ever have a resident rip up the grass and throw it away? I have :D

I had a resident steal plants out of the planters in front of the office and leave a trail of dirt

Why in the world? Please let us know how you addressed this with the resident.

Called the police who were disinterested, served a non-compliance notice, and will be charging her the replacement cost of the sod. Failure to pay will result in eviction.

I've had a resident cut down a pine tree on site during the holidays and found it in the trash in January!

Would bill them for what ever it costs for new landscaping!

I had a resident pull all her carpet up, roll it in the middle of the living room floor and set it on fire.

How about 2 dead cats in a residents freezer

I had someone take a hose and wash their whole apartment and then complain about mold.

Did they put the orange tape up? What were they going to put there instead?

Oh yes, she certainly did! She claims she was “seeding” it with a different kind of grass lol

Had a resident take their doors down, cut them up, and burn them in the fireplace. #truestory

Vendor story: Had someone build a garden box in the living room, planted, and watered. Perfectly shaped water stain on ceiling below.

Send the bill for sod!

Watch them send you an invoice for the labor and seed. Then not understand why they get charged for their “upgrade to the property”

well the conversation with the manager after she received her non-compliance notice went along the lines of “I don’t understand. I’m making it better.” Soooo... probably lol

So many residents act like they own the property.

I had an apartment about 10 years ago - heavy shade wouldn't allow anything to grow right at my patio. So I planted several hostas and it was beautiful all summer long. But I took them with me when I moved. (I told the PM they were going with me) The new tenant was so disappointed that they were gone. Then I felt bad about it - even though they were my hostas.

I’ve had them sweep the grass so much it’s just hard dirt

No, but I had a tenant who poisoned and tore out all our ivy because she thought snakes were hiding in it. Left us with an ugly-ass dead bare spot where nothing could grow.

I've had a resident rip out the carpet and paint the floor!

Yes I have a lady who pulls the grass up in her fenced area. I keep stopping her every time I see her move to the front to pull it out!

Wow! Just when I think I’ve seen it all....

Maybe he’s going to lay top soil and sod for y’all. He might think the grass isn’t kept up with. That looks like stakes for top soil and new sod!
I would be appreciative!

Omg I totally had someone pull up all the flowers once

I had one take out a large section of vinca that was gorgeous and full

I wanted to go to her co-signers house and cut down shrubs

Something tells me that : it was a long tine resident . There wasn’t grass. There was only mud. They are probably going to plant new grass themselves. It will look better than before. Btw: those trees need maintenance so that the new grass can flourish. Currently too much shade - thus all the mud.

There was brand new sod laid there very recently that she pulled up, and she has been there less than 6 months. Just wanted different grass

Ah. No excuse. She gotta go. If you let this slide she would think you a pushover . And the other residents living near would think so too. Ya gotta lay down the law … there is only one captain of the ship and it ain’t her!!

Maybe they will lay down sod? Or start over?
