They ruin the houses, carpets, appliances and more. In a couple houses they took all the inside doors, light fixtures, stove, fridge, carpet from 3 rooms and paneling from family rooms. Total wreck costing about $15K each to fix back up.

My pushing to her is to SELL the houses and bail out of it. Really not worth the hastle. Maybe 1 in 10 here in Michigan are responsible renters.
