Why I Hate Renters

Some people are truly weird. Case in point, 20-something nutball junk collector who rents the house next door. First it was the Halloween graveyard (complete with bodies hanging from a tree!) that stayed up through 2 Halloweens. Lately it's been chairs, a wood bed frame, a crap-ton of scrap metal and plastic that is piling up in the front yard (and yes, it has been reported). Oh, and I almost forgot the overstuffed loveseat that has been upright, on its back, and now upside down — great critter nest.

Yesterday while he was out, the zombie tree at the corner of his driveway dropped a rotten 6" diameter branch right where he usually parks his pickup. When he finally got home, he drove across the grass, parked on the front lawn, threw a hissy fit, took a bunch of pictures, then took off. Still not back. Now, this kid is a weight lifter and has the upper body muscle development that moving the shattered rotten branch should be no big deal.  But did he move even one tiny piece of it? Nope. Jerk!

The property owner is in Israel, so the property is being used to circumvent laws that govern money transfer between countries. Property managers apparently don't give a rat's ass about things as long as they get their cut of the rent. Idiot renter has been in the house for almost 2 years now, and has never paid a water bill. Thanks to the pandemic moratorium on turning off water, every 6 months the unpaid water charges get added to the property tax bill.

I think I need a cabin in the woods — away from lousy tenants.
