I had the craziest landlord ever out in Louisiana.

She inspected the apartments monthly and expected everything to be perfectly clean. You would get an eviction notice if your stove was not free of any kind of Grease or debris. She also lived on the property so she was nosy about everything people were doing.

We all had balconies but we were not permitted to bring out chairs and sit on them. I didn't know about this rule until I came out one morning and noticed my chair was missing. I found it down by her office. I guess that was my punishment.

We were, of course, required to clean up after our pets however, the landlord kept a stray cat portion of the property. There were over 35 cats that wandered the property, would poop everywhere, throw up , and fight all night. It was nothing new to walk outside of our door and find a pile of poop , cat hair, or throw up. She would leave dishes of food in just about every corner of the property , and in Louisiana it's very hot with a lot of flies so you can imagine what that was like.I could never understand why she was such a clean freak but yet let these cats crap all over the community. I even tried to call the city about it and they said there was nothing they could do. The owner of the property could not be found because Louisiana's process is practically impossible.

When we moved out I did not do a final cleaning on purpose. If she's not going to clean up after her cat I'm not going to clean up after myself. Although, while we live there I kept it very clean.
