Pig update

The tenants we had on that side of the duplex were a single mom and her two kids. They have been there for some time - four years, maybe? We have met her - she's a college professor, articulate, clean, etc. I just couldn't connect the dots as to why she would leave the place in such a mess when she left. It simply did not make sense.

I found out yesterday, what Paul Harvey would call "The rest of the story". When her son turned 18, they put him on the lease, also. She apparently moved out some time ago and Junior was supposed to move out all the stuff. HE'S the one who left all the crap, which totally makes sense now. She called the property manager to ask about her deposit - well..... she's not gonna get much of it back.... maybe a couple hundred bucks. She is angry (at her son) and embarrassed. I feel sorry for her, but he's not my kid and we still had to pay big bucks to get the joint rentable.
