Yeesh, I have an update as well. Since I quit being the fool for my uncle, he finally came back to the States a month or two ago to handle the issue. You see, ever since I quit, the tenent never paid him another dime in rent!!!
Since my uncle lived out of the country, he kept believing that this guy would make up the back rent when he got another job (lost the one he had).
The bottom line was that it cost my uncle almost $500 in court costs to get the jerk thrown out and then he discovered
massive damage!! The house was beat to hell. Holes in the wall, numerous items stolen; including a wood stove that weighed 800 pounds. When they stole the wood stove, they simply dragged it across about 30 feet of hard wood flooring, ruining the floor as well. The septic system was intentionally plugged up, the well pump was destroyed, several
exterior doors were stolen, and they broke into a detached garage where my uncle had his possessions stored. Needless to say, anything of value there was stolen as well; including an LP collection of over 2000 albums! My uncle came up with a conservative estimate of $35,000 in damage besides 11 months of back rent at $700 per month. They have a court date in a week or so.
I'd say my uncle won't get a dime. First off, the asshole who stole and destroyed everything doesn't have a dime. Secondly, he already told my uncle to go ahead and sue him for a million dollars; he'd just file bankruptcy no matter what if the judge says he owes anything. Can you believe some people?!
