“Help! My Last Tenant Trashed My San Antonio House” – Sell My Rental Property In San Antonio

Do you own a rental property? Did you have a tenant leave it in less-than-perfect condition? It happens! In fact, 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 San Antonio house” 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 usually isn’t worth the time, money, and energy it will take to go after them. However, if the damage is significant enough, you may choose to do this. You may want to consult with an attorney about 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 small fixes like 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. However, if the damage is not worth repairing yourself then you might be interested in a couple of other options:

You could rent your house to a handyman

One little-known option that is actually really helpful is to find a handyman who wants to rent the house. In exchange for a discount on rent (or even free rent) they can fix up the house 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. There are also regular people out there who are looking for a property at a discount and do a live-in flip. They’ll move into the house in its as-in condition for a discounted price and fix it up as they live in it.

Are you thinking “I just need to sell my rental property in San Antonio”…

Another option is to sell the house and move on from owning a frustrating rental property. However, be aware that if you try to sell the house on the open market, you may have to fix it up first in order for the agent to list it. Another option is to sell privately to a cash for houses team like ours. (We buy houses in as-is condition and we’ll fix them up ourselves).
