Dad's House:

The month of October was a long and trying month for me concerning dad's house in Rexburg. We had just moved in new tenants and after being in the house only 6 weeks, the tenants reported a water leak/mold damage problem in the bathroom. Because of the mold, the tenants promptly moved themselves out of the house and in to a hotel at our expense. From there, I had to go into the home with an insurance adjuster to asses the damage and get a claim started. The house was a wreck - there was dirty laundry in every room, trash in every room, left over food in every room and just down right filthy! I was so upset by their filthy way of life that I proceeded with a 3-day notice to have the premises cleaned. I also proceeded with getting to the heart of the bathroom problem. The company that came in to abate the mold and solve the water issues were very good to work with but the tenants kept coming by the house and hassling them about the mold and what type of proof could this company provide the tenants with so that they could sue us for health damages. When the company told them that they didn't have grounds to sue, things got ugly and the company refused to continue to work on the house unless the tenants were out - completely moved out, never to return. Because the tenants had done some damage to the interior of the home, I was able to legally proceed with eviction. Long and short of it all, the house is now empty, the bathroom is gutted and the work to put it all back together is now going forward.
Damage done to the kitchen area - tenants didn't like the wallpaper and decided to start peeling it off.


This is a bedroom that was wallpapered with matching curtains. The tenants decided to paint this room bubble gum pink and they painted right over the wallpaper!
