re: Give me your renting your house out horror stories

I have a condo that is an upstairs unit. My tenant was washing dishes when her newborn started crying so she went to check in him and walked away from the running faucet. She flooded the unit beneath her and caused $6k worth of damage. My insurance covered but the whole ordeal was a pain in the arse.

Anytime my phone rings and it's a tenant, I cringe because I fear the worst. Fortunately I am putting my unit up for sale next week and I am getting out the rental business. The BR flood made it a sellers market.
