TIRE: Walking Vacants

A couple of quick field stories:

The two gentlemen at the pool harassed residents for a smoke, a ride to town, or other disruptive behavior. A quick check of their ID caused us to discover they were squatting in a unit vacated earlier in the month by a college student.

At another property, I started walking units as part of my property inspection. As I walked into one unlit unit, I heard the familiar crunch of glass on carpet. Sure enough, a window was broken and the kitchen showed signs of recent use.

There’s no way around it: you must inspect vacant units at least every other day and preferably every day.
