[QUOTE="HereWeGoAgain, post: 188399, member: 3485"] Very good. I hope it helped to get that off her chest. Stepgfg ought to be hanging her head in shame. The description of how the apartment and trailer were left hit home for me -- been there done that. A long time ago I helped my dad manage some rental properties. They were low-rent, but in decent condition, clean and safe. We had renters skip out just ahead of being evicted a couple of times. Dad tried to work with them for months and months, accepting partial payments and waiving late fees, etc., but to no avail. After they ran it fell to my lot to go clean the places up. One woman left a puppy behind. Her water had been shut off, and she left a mess in the toilet, so the poor thing had no water or food for a couple of days before I found her, still alive. I cleaned her up, fed and watered her, and took her to PAWS... But anyway, the condition those places were in had to be seen to be believed. Every horizontal surface literally covered with trash, rotting food left out, dog and cat feces and urine everywhere. And the stench -- I'm talking wipe Vicks under your nose and duck outside for fresh air every few minutes. Not to mention the roaches and fleas. Both times were in the summer, and I had to dress in long sleeves and pants and wear rubber gloves and face mask to clear the places out. I must have sweated two gallons a day. It took two weeks, and five times the amount of the damage deposit, to clean and fix the place the puppy was left in. I think I would die of pure shame to live like that. [/QUOTE]
