We Took Possession
August 30, 2010
We finally took possession of the house, this past Friday, the 27th. Of course, we were both very happy and excited. By mid-afternoon, the excitement turned into frustration. Our lawyer was running behind schedule wiring the money to the other party. Then the other party's realty office took a long lunch break where the office was closed. By the time our realtor finished her end of things, grabbed the keys, and met up with us, it was 2:30 p.m.
That is where the fun began.
The fucking family that moved out with two kids and a dog, didn't have the decency to do any clean up at all! There were food stains caked onto the kitchen cabinet shelves and pantry shelves, breadcrumbs in the dishwasher, wood shavings in the washroom and laundry room, food strains or whatever stains at the base of every door in the house, layers of dust on the baseboards and tops of doors, a film of grey on every window, crayon and pen drawings on all the walls, brown stains on the top shelf of the linen closet upstairs (how the hell did it get up there??), dead flies on all window sills, dirt and soil on the inside of the patio door area, brown stains behind the toilet, a fist size hole in one of the closet in the master bedroom, a few nests of spider eggs in the basement, to name a few.
We spent the past three days cleaning from morning to night, and only managed to get it in a liveable condition. Since the cleaning, damage and garage opener (they listed two but only gave us one) is less than $500 to fix/repair/clean, our realtor doesn't suggest making a claim. It would only waste our time and we may or may not receive compensation.
So I've been doing a lot of cursing while I am cleaning. I sure hope to God or whoever is listening that the family received the same treatment that they gave us. What fucked up irresponsible people!
Did I also mentioned that the furnace guys told us the furnace, water tank and central air conditioner has never been cleaned ever!? Talk about a hazardous and unsanitized environment to live in. They were breathing in mold, dust and you name it the entire time.
Who wants to come with me when I find their new address!?!
