House Trashed By Ratbag Tenants

icyfroth — Tue, 10 Dec 2013 09:35:55 GMT

A NSW single mother has been forced to clean up skiploads of soiled nappies and rotting garbage after evicting tenants from her south coast investment property.

Tracy Jones thought she was doing a good deed when she opened her four-bedroom Blackwall home to an unemployed family-of-seven that was down on its luck.

And this is how they repaid her.

Footage filmed by Ms Jones and her son Doug shows walls smeared with human faeces, shattered windows and layer upon layer of smelly garbage trodden into the floor.

In return for Ms Jones’s charity to Cory Gilbert and Teagan Perry and their young family a home, she has been burdened with a massive clean-up effort and $3000 in uncovered rent after she failed to insure the property.

To top it all off, Mr Gilbert would later mock Ms Jones – a breast cancer survivor – in a phone message by calling her "cancer **bleep**".

Omg what sort of role models are these parents for their young family!?

Feral.......feral....feral.

ALSO....charge the parents for subjecting children to those living conditions........

I also found the reporter offensive, as the feral women had two small kids with her as he chased her down the street to hurl abuse at her.

Disgraceful on all sides.......except the lovely landlord.

I really dont know how people can live like that in all that garbage, especially with children, it would be a very unhealthy home to be in.

Just doesnt pay to rent out houses today, especially to people like that. The owner of the house obviously just let the family move in without references or anything.

I am referring to the ACA report that was on tonight regarding these people........ferals.

It's quite depressing to think that for some kids this is normal.

Agree with the Lake in this:

I once rented out a four bedroom house to a family who was having trouble getting a rental.

Both parents had tatts....5 children and one on the way.....old car..

The local agent turned them down.. I was angry that he did this without informing me.

I met them. Had a good gut instinct....also had Landlord's Insurance.

They were with me for four years, with no increase in rent because they were good tenants.

Not just good,.,,,,they were the best tenants anyone could have and their children were courtesous and very well behaved..

They kept and left the house in pristine condition.

They had saved enough while with me to put a deposit on their own house

I was happy for them (still friends) but sorry to see them go.

All my rentals have been good. However...........with exceptions..

I rented to tenants with good references and seemed responsible....who were pigs.

Two bad experiences in the Whitsundays with two separate properties.....I will never be an absent landlord again.

I do not trust agents.

Sold all but one of my rental property over the past 3 years, never again would I ever buy a rental property and allow feral animals the opportunity of trashing the house, not talking about people of welfare either because some were rented by the so called upper echelont.
