Things have been a little busy around here. The kids have had a little cold and we have had some issues with our house in Greenville. Long story short we have had some issues with this lady and cutting her grass. Pretty much this was the only issue we had for 10 out of the 12 months she lived there. Well the last two months of her lease she decided not to pay rent either. We thought we were going to have to evict her to get her out but thankfully we didn't have to.
Wade was so proud of himself. He came out of his room at nap time and said "I packed for the lake!" He got his suitcase out of the closet and packed one pair of shorts and one shirt and he was ready to go.
We are SO happy we have a property manager to handle all of this mess. She said she was going to be out two weeks ago but she wasn't. So our property manager emailed her and told her we would be there Friday to help her move out (this was a week after her lease was up.) So mom and dad took Wade to the lake and the three of us headed to Greenville. We got there Friday night and thankfully she was not there. The utilities were off (I am sure she didn't pay the bill) so technically the house was ours again. All the eviction/getting people out of your house rules are insane in NC. Thankfully it didn't come to that. All the neighbors were so excited we were there because they were SO ready for her to move. They have been cutting the front yard and said she was "crazy!!" I am just so thankful she did not trash the house. It was not clean by any means but it could have been a lot worse. Now the back yard....Holy Cow. It was a jungle. I don't know if she ever cut the grass in the back the entire time she lived there. It was almost up to our knees. Once again this is where we love having a property manager...now we don't have to worry about cleaning up all this mess.
However the reason we went to Greenville in the first place was because we had a showing at 10am Saturday for new tenants. They knew she was not out completely but were in town that morning. So we got to the house at 7am Saturday to do our best to pick it up a little before the showing. Our property manager found these people and said they were really interested. It needed a ton of cleaning and she had stuff in every room so there was no way with WK there that we were going to get it all done. We basically put all of her stuff in one room and just swept and wiped down the counters etc. We promised them when they got there that we would have it professionally cleaned and that the yard would look very different. I forgot to mention she had a huge POD in our front yard-in the grass of all places?? Thankfully they over looked the mess and the yard and signed a years lease. They seem really nice and I am glad we got to meet them. We have not met the last two tenants. Now PJ- who is the realtor that takes care of everything is busy busy. They want to move into the house in 9 days. I don't know how people rent without having a property manager. It is so nice that he gets everything done for us. The only thing we have to pay for is to have it cleaned. Because she neglected the yard he is charging her for that. Thankfully we get to keep her deposit so we really just didn't get paid for one month. So thankful for new tenants and they may want to stay 2 years which would be wonderful!!!! I took a picture of the yard and will have to put it up here. You wouldn't believe how bad it was.
WK was a trooper while we were there. She was so off schedule but she did great. Thanks to the Nicholson's for letting us sleep over Friday night. And thanks to Erin and Stephen our great friends and neighbors that we miss dearly. Because our power was off I had to pump at their house and WK even got to take a great morning nap over there. We appreciate all the help!!! We are so glad it rented again so quick and so thankful our old tenant has moved out. Here are some pictures from this week. WK looked so cute for church this past Sunday in her little flower bow. I am amazed at how easy it is to only have one child to get ready. We used to think one baby was hard but after having a weekend with just Westin Kate we realized how easy one was!!
All ready for her first Halloween!!!
