A break from the normal for this week, we have a collection of stories from Kevin McDonnell, from his years of working in property. With the amount of experience Kevin has, he has a lot of stories to share with you. From serious issues that needed fixing, to hilarious moments that you almost can’t believe happened (but did!). With everyone stuck wherever in the world you are, it’s time to lighten the mood. What are tenants most likely to steal? What happens when tenants get caught cheating? HOW do they get caught? Listen to find out more!
Key Takeaways:
There are funny stories from years of property that you can learn from- Kevin has seen a lot in his years of working in property. Here are some of the very interesting stories he has to tell. They say you learn from experience, so use kevin’s before learning the hard way yourself!
What do tenants like to steal?TV’s? Furniture?- You have to be aware of what tenants who move out are moving out with! In HMO’s especially, things can easily go missing. Make sure you keep an up to date record of everything you have in the property, not just for yourself, but for the happiness of all the other tenants still living there.
Health and safety, how to protect yourself from incidents- Sometimes bad things happen, and people get hurt. Apart from making sure everyone is ok, you need to make sure all evidence is collected to present a case if anything were to be reported.
What do you do for accusations of stealing? With more people living together comes more issues, and unfortunately so does accusations of stealing. Everything from food going missing to credit cards, dealing with these situations in a timely manner are important to keep all tenants happy.
Best Moments:
“They stole part of my kitchen to make a makeshift wardrobe”
“They put frozen peas in the thermostat to reduce the temperature of the house”
“He caught the tenant cheating through google maps and was so ready to move on he handed it back to me despite already paying”
“Make sure if you have HMO’s properties… that it’s health and safety safe”
“When they moved out, they left the cat”[1]
