If you own a rental property but had a tenant trash it when they leave then make sure you read this article because we’re addressing the all-too-common problem that landlords have when they say, “Help! My last tenant trashed my Lafayette mobile home!”
Do you own a rental property? Did you have a tenant leave it in less-than-perfect condition? It happens! It’s an experience that probably every landlord has faced at least once. If you looked at your empty rental property and said, “Help! My tenant trashed my Lafayette mobile home” then here are some things you can do about it.
Is it worth going after the tenant?
You need to first assess the damage and decide if it’s worth going after the tenant. Unfortunately, it often isn’t worth the hassle because it may be a time-consuming and even expensive effort to get the tenant to pay you back. However, if the damage is significant enough, you may choose to do this.
Is it worth repairing the damage?
From holes in the walls to missing toilets – we’ve heard of just about everything you can imagine! Sometimes a bit of drywall and paint will fix the problem, in which case you may want to fix it up and rent it out again, and then just accept the inconvenience as the cost of doing business. Here are the Best Mobile Home Parts and Supplies we recommend and here are the Best Tools for Making Mobile Home Repairs. If you want to make DIY repairs to your mobile home, we recommend this Book. However, if the damage is not worth repairing yourself then you might be interested in a couple of other options:
You could rent your mobile home to a handyman
One little-known option that is helpful is to find a handyman who wants to rent a mobile home. In exchange for a discount on rent (or even free rent), they can fix up the mobile home for you to make it a nice rental property again. Make sure you have a timeline all spelled out, though, to avoid then staying too long without a lot of work getting done.
You could sell the mobile home
Another option is to sell the mobile home and move on from owning a frustrating rental property. However, be aware that if you try to sell the mobile home on the open market, you may have to fix it up first for the agent to list it. Another option is to sell privately to a mobile home-buying team like ours. We love to buy mobile homes! (We buy mobile homes in as-is condition and we’ll fix them up ourselves, even if it has to be moved).
