Per the lease, Michele was allowed one dog at the unit. On at least one occassion, there was another dog heard, and a reliable neighbor reported that she typically had up to 5 dogs at the unit. Upon moving out, numerous damage was found. The living room and master bedroom carpets/padding were completely covered with animal urine. There was also burn damage (which Michele attempted to disguise with a different colored carpet) to the padding (perhaps a candle?) Additionally, the garage floor was covered with dog urine and some feces...the smell was overwhleming. The unit was also infested with fleas. This is just the worst of other numerous, minor damges (i.e., scratches on the front door due to her dogs, etc...). Michele also used her deposit (which the landlord did not get paid in full until 6 months into the lease) for her last’s month rent, thus breaking the lease and leaving the landlord with no monetary means of covering the damages done by her and her pets. She also paid rent late at least twice in 8 months. The unit was spotless and only a year old when she moved in. This unit was located in Knoxville, TN. I believe that Michele has since moved to Florida.
