House needs work before renting
This house is in need of some definite repairs before it should be rented out. There are some spots in the living room and office that are leaking so bad that the flooring was wet, drywall and plaster is peeling, and there is mold in spots on the walls. The deck is basically falling apart in spots, there are broken railings, and even broken steps going down to the water. In addition, the downstairs bathroom toilet leaked so bad it was running on the floor in the basement. It has been leaking for so long the floor was rotten so the toilet wouldn’t even stay fastened to the floor. The worst part about the house is the septic backed up. The owners said it was from tree roots growing through the pipes, and it happens every so often. They sent Rotorooter out to fix clog, which we appreciated, and told us not to use the bathroom downstairs but could everywhere else. The first time anyone used the bathroom the septic backed up again. The smell of sewer gas in the house was terrible. We called them back and told them it was still backed up and they did nothing. 4 of the 6 days we were there the house smelled like this. We were from a long ways away and didn’t have anywhere else to go, so we spent very little time inside. Honestly, my daughter has asthma, and if she was with us there is no way we would have even stayed there. None of the pictures showed any of these problems, nor was it brought up to us by the owner. Their cleaning company also did a terrible job as house was dirty.
