I remember moving out of a rented house and when I was done, the landlord had nothing to do because it was ready to be rented. I cleaned it and left it the way I got it. I can't understand how people do this to people's place.

Good day to you I am a landlord myself and sometimes we have to take the blame because we do not view our property every six months and do walk through. We need to do background checks find out the reason why they have to leave their previous property. Sorry for your loss be strong this too shall pass

As a landlord you will need to include in your lease contract that you will be inspecting the property every 6 months or every 12 months.

This is the reason why a lot of owners don’t want long term rental because of these terrible tenants. So sorry for all these damages.

So sorry about this. It looks like the walls are affected by molds though. That explains the paint coming off the wall. It is an indication that there is excess moisture accumulating in the walls or there was inadequate ventilation.

I remember when you guys posted that house.The tenant was downright nasty. People should care for other people properties like it's their own. Sue the heck out of her.i bet she was so nice and mannerrable when she was looking it to rent 🙄

Different from the nastiness those house never build good from morning the piant always a strip like wall paper and if the kida jus pull on it it gone

The damage seems deliberate. She might have done all this out of spite.

Wow! It's quite obvious a lot of those damages were deliberately done to spite you. As you said, both long & short term rental have their advantages & disadvantages, but give me the short term rental any day!

I had a similar experience, and when ppl come to rent and behave desperate them a trouble

I do rental but i put in curtain rods.No drilling of holes without my consent

What you should do is install the little hook things for the curtain rods so they don't have to drill. Ensure your contract has in all that can be done and not done and how you expect to get back the place

Always have a 6 months inspection clause in your lease.

Welcome! They do the same thing in foreign. Always take a deposit for damages, and always do a drop-in visit before the end of vacation and get a driver's licence. I saw the worst.

Kerosene lamp , that means her lights were probably cut off

What the heck was she doing for that kind of damage in just 2 1/2 years?! Wow.

You have to yearly check up on your place. You have to put that in your contract. Take her to court

Oh wow guys 🙄 People can be so vile. I'm so sorry this happened to you.

Going forward every 6 months inspection clause in the lease

Nope, a lamp alone couldn't cause what I am seeing. My parents burnt Home Sweet Home lamp when we were children, and I swear our house was clean and nice and it was eight of us, including my parents.

Anytime you see potential tenants desperate, run!!

Everything you said about the NWC is true. My ex-tenant ran up the water bill and when I asked the NWC to lock off the water they said its illegal. Yet I have seen the NWC lock off other people's water for a small amount. At the end of the day I had to pay all of the outstanding water bill that was left there. NWC has a double standard with these things.

In America, the landlord is responsible for fixing water leaks (while tenants occupy the premises) and painting the property after an exiting tenant leaves. When I lived in a rented apartment the property manager made sure that I don’t have water leakage etc… and if I did, it was fixed.

I rented a house for 2yr landlord never visit I was the first tenant on when I was leaving the owner had to shake my hand I paint n clean down the house even part's where they didn't get to finish I did my landlord call me couple months ofter asking if I'm sure I don't wanna come back even if they drop the rent cause there new tenant is from straight outta hell lol😒😒some people are just NASTY

The lady needs to be arrested & sued man those poor innocent kids, I can just imagine what they have to go through on a daily basis.

Paint could have been defective because why would it be stripping like that. Outside of that nasty tenant!

Some people use kitchen badly,chop things on the raw counter,peel bananas anywhere,oil splash on the back splash etc.I would never do long term rental

Adrian and Cass I feel it for you guys. My Dad and Stepmother went through a similar situation. The tenant deliberately destroyed the house before they left. It was so bad that the house was refurbished and sold. It took millions of dollars to refurbish. Someone made a good point. As landlords we have to do an inspection every six months. Also background checks are important. Your tenants were nasty and deliberately destroyed your place before they left. Don't despair. Pick up the pieces and learn from this experience.

you guys are HOPPING MAD!!! I've never seen you like this. I feel for you. Keep strong ❤

Hi Delprat Family, the tenant had subletted your property, that's why you have oil splatter where none should be because more than one stove was in the apartment.

That cupboard damage is definitely deliberate. No joke.

This is really sad I had a similar situation to this it’s so crazy to see how people can be so callous

Please say a prayer in that unit cause you don't know what that tenant was doing. This is not my place and I am upset. This is crazy not because what one person did please don't be heard on the next person you rent it too. This is so sad

omg. Jah know. pure badmind that. This is just how some of our Jamaicans behave and why people don't like renting their place. Just keep strong and continue on your journey. You guys have been an inspiration to so many of us and we are with you every step of the way. Blessings to the fullest.

Good day guys. Yes continuous use oil lamps can cause soot. It can go up in your nose too!

Oh my God, I am so sorry to see this. What kind a person does this to someone property. They make it bad for other good tenants.

Give them curtain rods or at least brackets for it next time to prevent drilling and then damaging your walls.

So sorry you guys had to experience that.

Welcome to Delpratt family, waiting for Dis vlog 🤔 must be interested

Mek sure is not mole cover the wall and ceiling.

That mattress looks riddled with bed bugs, be careful guys.

Don’t give them back the first and last month rent. This was maliciously done.

Family, this one gives me flashbacks. I am glad the tenants are gone. You will grow from strength to strength.

I'm learning a lot from you guys

I am so sorry for you. That is why I am afraid to rent my place.

Jesus, the bathroom 😮

Good morning My husband and I are landlord ourselves. We have two rental properties and when we was renting our properties we got a realtor to rent them for us, and thank god so far we don’t have any issues. We live in the states and our properties is in Jamaica. But it is good to get a realtor because they do all the background checks not saying things can’t go wrong and tenants will be perfect, but I personally finds it helpful especially for the background checks and making sure the tenants have a steady income and that the income can cover their rent and utilities etc. long story short, it pays to get a realtor to rent your place. Only downside of getting them is whatever you renting the property for that’s what they charge you plus GCT. Example if your rent is a $100,000 P/m that’s the fee plus GCT you’ll have to pay them , a one time fee

That’s awful. Sorry to see this. I’m a landlord myself have experienced similar situations. It’s a financial nightmare to refurbish for the next tenant to rent. Kmt. Hope you get it sorted soon.

I appreciate you sharing as it cam give perspective to persons understand pros and cons

Buy solid surface from Cameron in Hatfield Manchester for future counter tops. If it ever breaks, which is highly unlikely, you just get someone to bake it back. Material is similar to the stone.

Please do walk through every 6 months to a year.

This is HORRIBLE!! So sorry that this happened to you. More blessings to you and your family.

Hello Mr & Mrs Delpratt I feel it. God’s promise is to prosper u and so u will. However, as in the previous comments walkthrough requests written and agreed to in the lease is a must-do. 🙏🏽

Check if the black stuff is mould and if it is, check the roof and walls for leaks and damps

Sorry to know about the damage to your property .who now will pay for the damage. Blessings to you and your family guys.

There were two stoves. One in kitchen are and one in living room area and he stove most like had a glass backsplash that was against the wall hence, a small area on the wall looks clean but going down the wall and the floor will have evidence of cooking on a stove

I feel your pain guys! Since Covid it has gotten even worse… similar situation here in the US is costing 20k! For a proper renovation.🤯and that’s just labor!

I remember the video that you showed before she moved in. Back then it was very nice. I just cannot imagine why or how the paint got washed off the walls?

So sorry your place got such damage. I am a landlord myself and recently I went through the same. Tenant left owing 8 months rent, almost $100G in water bill and a lot of damage inside the house. I’m just in the process of renovating. God will work it out for you.

Wait a min that cupboard wasn't make for proper materials from day one that seems like termites were already eat those cheap materials cause its not wood

Faulty paint job, faulty tile job and around kitchen sink did not sealed properly so water damaged the cupboard. Concrete and tile counter work best on rentals Candle can cause the smoke over a period of time. Kids were there so accidentally there can be broken window. Longterm rental is not for everyone. You have to vet prospectives.

I remember watching this video years ago. So sorry this happened. In her defense however, I looked up reasons why paint would peel from walls and only one of the many reasons would be on her. Shame on her for everything else however. All the best❤

If you burn the lamp without the shade that will happen

I hope your tenants are watching because I want them to know they are nasty and have absolutely no conscience. Whenever you are leaving a rented space you need to clean it over before handing it over. Come on people.

Those tools doesnt seems like it was properly lay out from day one come on now.

This was a deliberate act!

So sorry this happened to your property

Outside of the mess, I believe some of the damage seems to be purposely done. It should have been legal to call her name so that no one has to go through this with her ever again. Wicked!!

sometimes the quality of paints and infrastructure influences the deteriation the wall and ceiling colours sometimes change from not being so pretty, have houselocked up for over a year these schemes houses finishes contribute everthing is just basic after use quickly things deteriate, what has made it worst this was a nasty tennant you had

No sah 😮... craziness and nastiness. So sorry you guys are going through this 😢

Yes,it is really sad. I also had a similar experience, but I live in America, and I rented my house in Jamaica to district constable someone who should be upholding the law she didn't pay rent for 13 months nor did she pay light and water when she left I found out my house did have light legally for 1 year so they took my meter. I thank God the day she left,but it cost about 200,000 too.

Yes it can be a lamp or candles I depends on how long they been using it.

You have to do a more serious venting of your tenants also you seem to have a moisture problem

Hi Delprat family! I am sorry that you're having a nightmare of your property. You both have worked so hard to achieve your goals. That's a lot of damages. Its unfortunate that your written contract probably didn't limit the number of adults and children to live in the unit. Also an inspection every 6 months. It seems that there was a stove in that greasy area. This is the most disgusting , with all that garbage to clear out and the bath tub may need replacing. Stay blessed any how ! 🙏❤️🇯🇲🇨🇦 g to deal

Wow!!! Some people is too much

Prepaid Meter/light is still an option at JPS. It's a good option for rentals. I am not sure how to do the water but it's usually a cheaper than an outstanding light bill on the property.

Maybe it is some sort of mold on the wall because the beds in the room looks like it is covered in mold.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Don't know what is wrong with some of these people. Sigh!!! I rent, and I treat my landlord house like is my own house. The very 1st place I rent I lived there for 8 years and the landlord never had to paint because I keep the place clean and the paint was white. When I was leaving, I got back all my deposit because not one damage was done to their place. The only reason I left was because I purchased a vehicle, and they started giving me a problem saying I could not park my vehicle on the property. I should leave it on the road that was not going to happen. So, I looked somewhere else, and I leave and I know they will never fine good tennant like me again. Where I rent now my landlord now said he would make regular visit, he use to come regularly when I just moved in to check if everything was in tact. I could not tell when I saw my landlord because he recognized that I take very good care of his place like I would if it was my own place. I ensure that I take care of his place because people work every hard to have their house and they are offering a service so I ensure that I take every good care of the property. What I observe is that good landlord hardly get good tennant and good tennants hardly get food landlord's. You all should publish their faces so they don't go somewhere else to do the same to other people and sue them for damages done to your property. She is very out of order.

People are crazy out there, I can relate to the experience.

Nice video to use as court evidence.

I understand your pain! So unfair. You have your asset. It will get better.

Jah Jaha i feel your pain sister and brother

What a wicked bad mind demon tenant. How could anyone do this to someone property? Such a disgrace.

Second room seems to be an electrical fire like a fan or iron left on for long time. As it relates to utilities the light goes with the person wherever they go. But the water is attached to the premises and so whatever bill they leave behind you the owner has to pay.

Good day I am a land lord my self and I draft up. My lease agreement for me to view my property every three months and my tenant never let no one in even though she sign to it😢

Talk about putting “a hog in a floor house” like my granny used to say. So sorry that you’re going through this.

No wayyyyy you have to sue her!! This is unbelievable!!

Lamp without the shade can cause that they really did a terrible damage to the place I can't believe people do your place like that

I would sue her because that is destroying of property.

Many say do inspections. Tenants like that wouldn't allow you innuour own house because they know you would evict them immediately. Stop feeling sorry for people like her.

Is there no way to write some form of contract that for example says if you miss 3 month payment evict, if property is damaged you’re responsible for it? 🤔

People like them make it’s hard for me and others than have to rent until we can able to purchase a house 🏡. This tenant is nasty. She doesn’t seem like she was cleaning this house. I am so sorry for your loss. I remember this apartment renovation

Hi fam be grateful that its not worse am in the real-estate business too and hav seen way worse

That person is very wicked, that happened to me couple years ago in the UK,from that day it puts me off from letting, when they want your property they come in very friendly and nice, its so sad.

Had similar tenant damage done several years ago in the kitchen and bedrooms (we almost passed out when we saw it first) and came to find out they were making and smoking meth. That’s why all that soot looking damage from the chemicals and use of multiple propane tanks in the kitchen area. I am so sorry this happened to you.

Sigh , Cas and A she is not coming back for the bed. She is the type to leave her unwanted garbage there. If she had a deadline to move and it has passed I would get rid of them. God bless her kids.

Something wrong with plumbing system at your house and if anything the landlord is responsible to If that. I wonder why she didn’t call you. My landlords were used to maintain the house such as paint the wall yearly

Really sorry to see this happened to you guys. Next time, create a 12 months contract with an option with inspection and a further 12 months extention.

O wow...this is wickedness. Just because it's not theirs there were no care in this world during her stay, smh

This is an actual nightmare 😢
