I did a surprise apartment inspection last night *PICS*

The landlord has some rights especially if a strong stench coming from the residence. I had to enter a rental when that occurred a few years back. I was shocked with the condition of the unit and took interior pictures of unit preparing for possible action. All for naught, the renter took off that night and was never heard from. The cost of renovation was in the low teens.

What this situation taught me is to have a property manager who holds regular inspections. All of this is written into rental agreement with spot inspections if a situation arises. So far, I am glad to say that the above situation never occurred again. The rental agent could make surprise visits to prospective renters is one way to circumvent a serious breach of contract. I never had to resort to such action because my renters were excellent in everyway. Lucky am I.

As bad as that apartment looks, I've seen much,much worse.

When I was younger I worked a couple of years for a relative that owned 40+ rent houses (slum shacks), I was the cleanup guy when they moved out and I've seen things most people wouldn't believe. I literally wore a full body bio suit and carried several five gallon containers of bleach with me at all times. Many times my first move was to prop the front door open and throw 10-20 gallons of bleach in the front door before I would enter. I've seen feces smeared on every wall, I've seen crap heaped up in the toilet 12" higher than the seat (scratched my head on that one). I've cleaned up houses where the gas was turned off, and the tenant bypassed the gas meter with an inner tube bypassing the filters and burning raw gas covering the entire inside of the house with black soot.
In several cases I called the police because of evidence of a crime (huge blood stains etc..), in one house I found two human fingers and several garbage bags worth of human hair. And on several occasions I ran across the remains from aninmal sacrifices.

wow. i hope you were well paid.

 
OMG what a mess...

Do like Guitardaddy used to do,
don't start stirring the dust/mold/maggots/fruit flies without a biosuit
and a decontamination area (someone to spray water with a hose on you when you're done). Maybe your local hazmat officers could provide you with some advice (also equipment or even use the appartment for practice)

I said practice, might become intervention.
 
you better kick his butt out. reminds me of my old roomate when i lived off campus. not this bad but this is crazy!

look, a perfect example. gaming makes u lazy! lol
 
how can i get a start in the rental industry? LOL

wow. hard to imagine how a human being can put up with such filth. makes you wonder how one can be that lazy for so long.

those plastic food containers look like they're about to pop from the expanding gases! YUM!

i bet $5 that even the trash pick-up guys retch when they (eventually) pick this garbage up at the curb!

*shudder* i feel for ya, OP!

If you really want to put the cherry on top of kicking him out, I would call the ASPCA on him. That is no condition for a dog. poor thing.

Yep, that looks just like what I see on that show on Animal Planet... is it called Animal Precinct?
 
I'd call the pet police people as well. Maybe they can take the dog. That dog doesn't deserve to be living in a mess like that. Who knows how his next place will be.
 
Reminds me of a television commercial that used to be on Sky Satellite in Europe. This couple walks in the front door and the girl says looks like you got robbed. he says he'd look around for anything missing and picks up the Yellow Pages for a cleaner. Hilarious commercial - gotta see it in person I suppose, but this place looks like it.

are you kidding?? In picture 5, i wonder why they guy even has stick of old spice deoderant there!!!

OMG I am completely floored. I cant believe he actually lives there and sleeps in that bed and eats there. He's gonna kill himself!

Sometimes i give myselt crap about letting the dishes pile up....!!

Also another poster wrote that you should notify his workplace of how he lives...THat's not illegal and you could do it. I know it's kind of mean, but I had a friend in college who suffered terribly from hepetitus A, which as you know can be passed through ingestion of fecal matter, oftentimes by a restaurant employee not washing their hands. He really really suffered, and I would hate to think that this guy could put other people at risk.

Even so, I'm so amazed and angered that he could treat your property like that! What about the people near and around him?? They could be suffering from cockroach infestations just because of his dirty a$s!!
