During the housing frenzy some out-of-state property management companies bought 3-4 houses in our subdivision and turned them into rental houses. This hasn't been an issue until the past year, with one house in particular, which just happens to be the first house as you enter the subdivision, and which is clearly visible from the main road from which you enter our subdivision.
For some period of time the tenant(s) were taking their bags of garbage and just sitting them on the driveway right in front of their house. They did have some type of kitchen chair also sitting out there over next to it. I'm not kidding. I bet 40-50 bags of garbage piled up out there. We have several different options for garbage pickup in our area, but they (apparently) weren't subscribing to any.
They also leave their garage doors open and have had 4'x8' sheets of plywood placed across the openings, apparently keeping some dogs inside the garage. A few months ago someone called the county because these two dogs... both of them pit bulls... were outside and one of the dogs had blood all over its face and chest. When the county was called the dogs were let loose (by the owner) and they ran off somewhere. We haven't seen nor heard of them since.
The police came out about the piled up garbage and somebody rented a small U-Haul truck and carried it away. Since that time they have been piling the bags of garbage on their back deck.
Now with warmer weather they have not cut their grass one single time. Somebody in the neighborhood actually gifted them a lawn mower. It hasn't moved since it was given to them. Their grass got up to pretty much weed-field condition, and their shrub beds are full of 6' tall milk weed, sticker plants, all sorts of wild weeds that have all outgrown the shrubs.
Calls have been going to the property management company and the county. The property management company said they began the eviction process back in December. They're still there, though. You can see the blinds in the windows are all getting torn up, to the point that in one bedroom they have taken down the blinds and they now have a sheet hanging up over the inside of the window.
Somebody in the neighborhood has been putting notes in their mailbox or mailing them letters... something... apparently complaining to them. The other day the woman (who is apparently the legal tenant on the rental agreement) had one of her kids bring a kitchen chair out to the edge of the road, with a note on it telling people to stop leaving notes, saying that in the last 3 years she lost her husband and one of her kids and people should instead be offering to help her. Ironically, the very next morning somebody was driving past the house and they said an adult male was standing at the front of the garage, peeing into the yard. I guess whomever is that adult male wasn't able to help her cut the grass, so she needed somebody in the neighborhood to do it.
Somebody in the neighborhood DID go cut her grass (I would never have done that). But that same day two police cars were out there and the next day a county marshal car was there.
Their Range Rover is still parked in the driveway. I haven't seen in move in weeks, if not months. Random other cars come and go now and again.
One girl in the neighborhood has been in contact with the property management company, complaining multiple times over the past year. I guess the people in the house are now officially squatting, and the property management is having to go through the legal process to get them out.
Yay.
