Tenants are the leaches. I will never again invest in rental properties. The law lets them destroy a house, and there is little you can do about it. The last one I rented out was a disaster. It was left wrecked and filthy after finally getting rid of them. They got 4 weeks behind with the rent, so the bond was gone. Then I had to give them four week's notice to quit. another four weeks unpaid rent. Then a repair bill of $3,600. Plus another $500 cleaning fee.

Another one used the paling fence as a source of firewood. The fire was on a sheet of galv iron on the lounge room floor which also made a mess of the polished wood floor. They also kept chooks in the kitchen by taking off cupboard doors and putting on wire netting.A leaking water bed had ruined a bedroom carpet. At least the rent was paid because it was paid by some charity organisation finding them accommodation.

A better bet is storage units. The rent gets behind and you lock them out until it is paid up to date.

Housing prices would drop if it were truly like that and tenants were leaches.
