Hoarders
 

anyone ever have an experience with hoarders? Those people who rent someone elses home and live there for a long time and never throw anything away and never once clean?

I'm in the middle of some SHIT! I mean real shit, on the walls, all over the bathroom and what not. These people are ****ing nasty. I don't even know how to motivate myself to get to it and start working on this place.

I've already hired a guy with a 50 foot dumpster to throw shit away because the basement was full to the ceiling of nothing but worthless trash, total fire hazard.

If you are a hoarder, I hope you burn in ****ing hell.

not to mention ****ing bed bugs. Burned my clothes and drove home naked so I dont get any in my place

oh sonofabitch. bedbugs are tough to get rid of. and yes, been in your shoes before, I feel for ya. rentals are such a PITA.

I've been in hoarder house once. Found this in an old thread:

This house was being rented from a guy in my division on the ship. He was nice enough, but a bit hygienically challenged - perhaps that should have sent up a warning flare. But he invited me and a couple of other guys over one day and we went. Lived in a new house in a new neighborhood in Virginia Beach. Opened the door, and it was basically like that picture, everywhere, only worse. The shock of it was truly amazing. He had a trailer trash wife and a couple of nasty ass little kids, who apparently were on a mission to ruin the place. Not even the walls were spared. It was beyond vile. One of the other guys had to use the bathroom, and said the inside of the tub was black with grime. At one point he asked us if we wanted anything to eat, and I said "No, that's okay. I'll just grab something off the floor."

Obviously we didn't stay long, and never went back. I can't imagine what was going through his mind when he asked us over knowing the place looked like that.

Here's the photo I referred to:

I already gutted the place with a bio hazard suit on and a respirator, goggles and hat. I main regret is that if I would have sent in a video of what it looked like I could have gotten on that tv show about hoarders. My place would have been the prime example of what that show is about.

Sickening. The kitchen, grime everywhere, the walls, everything. The oven? omfg. just gonna replace that.

They had the audacity to tell me I needed to pay for their 20 yr old nasty washing machine and chandelier. I just wanted them out and this was before I knew, so I said fine, don't pay rent your last month, that should cover it.

I have a guy coming on monday to heat the house to 160 degrees or whatever it is to kill the bedbugs, its gonna cost a fortune.

You should have taken some pictures.

they would never let me in when they lived there, I even offered to replace the windows a couple years ago, but they just flat out said no! I was like, why wouldn't you want new windows? and they just said no thanks, we dont want them. I was like whatever, okay even though I could tell from the outside it's needed.

Sue the shit out of them for clean up costs and potential lost rent.

My mom was seeing this one guy....and his entire family are hoarders.

He didn't want to put his mother (who's very elderly and broken down) into assisted living, and he couldn't take care of her himself because he always worked, so he had her move into his home and his sister moved into the basement and was going to take care of the mother.

Well my mother didn't want to get very deep into this relationship (and didn't) because she didn't want to possibly marry this guy and move into a house with his sister and mother and rightfully so, that'd be a giant pain in the ass not to mention they're both hoarders and slobs. They have this knitting hobby and they would just buy more and more knitting and quilting shit and would just leave it around the house, then had to store it all in the garage because there was just no more room. In the basement where the sister lives/sleeps (also keep in mind this woman is single and in her mid 50's), there's a small spot on her bed where there isn't any clothes,junk, quilting shit where she can curl up and sleep.

The sister, also has a knack for finding random garage sales around the metro and then just leaves shit around the thouse and never uses them. Just wastes money and makes giant messes around this guy's house. It got so bad that you couldn't even walk down the hallways or even park a car in the garage. Just ****in ridiculous if you ask me. The mother doesn't nothing but sit in her rocking recliner and bark orders, and shit/piss, snore, and shit more. Her bowls/plates of food are just everywhere in the living room to the point there are little fruit flies flying around and it smells.

Not to mention just random piles of junk laying around the house, some piles waist high blocking doorways, hallways, shit on the stairs (one case you have to skip a step on the staircase) because there's so much shit piled up.

I dont know how people can live like that. Just complete worthless pieces of shit.

How long did they live there?

25 years or so. of straight up hoarding.

not possible with this states laws. Tenants can practically own the house they rent if they are elderly.

****, didn't realize they had been there that long. Hell of a long time to do damage. I'm sure you've got your work cut out for you.

yup, the foundation of the house is good at least! lol
