You finally get the keys back.
You open the front door...
And immediately think:
"What the HELL happened in here?"
Unfortunately, plenty of landlords know the feeling.
You expected some normal wear and tear.
Instead, you find:
๐งฑ Holes in the walls
๐ช Broken doors
๐๏ธ Mountains of trash
๐ Pest problems
๐ถ Pet damage and odors
๐ฝ Destroyed bathrooms
๐ณ Filthy or damaged appliances
๐ช Broken blinds and windows
๐ง Water damage nobody bothered to mention
๐ฟ A yard that hasn't been touched in months
๐ฆ And enough abandoned belongings to furnish another house
First things first: document everything.
Take photos and video before cleaning or repairing anything. Review the lease, security deposit requirements, and applicable North Carolina landlord-tenant rules before deciding how to handle damages or abandoned property.
Then comes the bigger question:
Do you actually WANT to fix all of this?
Because getting a rental ready again can mean dumpsters, cleaners, painters, flooring, contractors, landscapers, pest control, appliances...
And weeksโor monthsโwithout rental income while you're paying for everything.
Sometimes that's worth doing.
Sometimes it's the moment a landlord realizes:
"I'm done."
At Sell My House As Is Wilmington, that's exactly the type of property we're comfortable buying.
We're not scared of the trash.
We're not scared of the damage.
