My Tenants Trashed Several Rooms in My House — But Karma Got Them Before the Police Even Arrived

After my father passed, I rented out his beloved country home, hoping tenants would respect it. Jodie and Brian seemed perfect at first, but when I visited months later, the house was trashed — stained carpets, slashed furniture, garbage everywhere, and even water flooding the basement. It was clear the damage was intentional.

I gave them notice to leave and called the police and my insurance. On their move-out day, I found the basement flooded. Moments later, I learned their SUV had crashed into a nearby pond while fleeing, uninsured and damaged.

The court ordered them to pay for repairs, and I used the settlement to restore the house. Slowly, I made it my home again, cherishing my father’s memory and finally finding peace.
