re: Give me your renting your house out horror stories

owned nice rental house in AL while living in suburban DC. Older gray haired couple driving new Cadillac came to see rental and they decided they wanted to rent it. The man pulled out huge roll of cash and paid first and last months rent and damage deposit signed lease and I go back to DC. That was the last $$ I ever got from them - ended up evicting them (long process) and on their way out they put over 100 holes in the interior drywall, nailed shut the interior doors and put superglue in the exterior door locks....only advice I will give is to not rent unless you live close to rental property and can keep an eye on things. I have several more bad experiences but that was worst.

And this was an older couple? They were pissed because they were evicted, but did they think they would not.. If they didn't pay?
