I have found some strange things when visiting vacated properties.
Bits of clothing, furniture, books, cd's, letters, electronics, the odd pound coin, even bits of hair and scabs !
I've not yet been left a pet, thankfully. Unlike the American landlord who on arriving at a vacated property to clean up before the new tenants arrived, found a surprising bit of unwanted tenant property.
The landlord from the Wisconsin town of Beloit arrived a month after the tenant had vacated the rental property, only to discover a hungry two-year-old alligator in one of the rooms.
The landlord got the assistance of a local animal charity who took it in and said that although it was unwell it would probably make a full recovery.
The animal charity said alligators made bad pets. "They are going to look at you as food at some point," he said.
A further incident of tenants trying to take a bite out of their landlord !
The question is would this be covered under landlord insurance policy ?
Just off now for my lunch at Ord Ban in Aviemore, the one I recommended in my blog a month or two back. I'm pleased to say the standard is still excellent and the cakes to die for ! A pear strudle for me today - Thankfully they don't yet serve aligator steaks.
Well worth a trip out if you get the opportunity.
