As a landlord in Edmonton, discovering your rental property is in disarray after a tenant eviction can be overwhelming. Whether you’re managing a single unit or multiple properties, unexpected messes and damages are an unfortunate reality. Before rolling up your sleeves, consider calling professionals like the Grimebusters team to restore your property efficiently and safely.

The Reality of Rental Properties in Edmonton

Edmonton’s rental market is dynamic, with approximately 86,000 rental properties as of 2024. Despite thorough screening processes, landlords can’t always predict tenant behaviour, leading to situations where eviction becomes necessary. On eviction day, it’s not uncommon to find significant property damage or neglect— up to and including biohazardous conditions.

Common Reasons for Tenant Eviction and Resulting Damages

While the most common cause for eviction is non-payment of rent, other issues can result in tenant removal. Renters can engage in behaviours that cause substantial damage, such as:

• Unauthorized Pets: Animals kept without disclosure or proper accommodations can lead to scratched floors, stained carpets, contaminants, and lingering odours.
• Hoarding: Excessive item accumulation can create fire hazards and attract pests.
• Illegal Activities: Involvement in activities like drug production or consumption can result in superficial and structural damage as well as biohazardous conditions.
• Property Neglect: Failure to clean regularly or perform routine maintenance tasks can lead to mould growth, pest infestations, and deterioration of property features.

While property managers expect cosmetic damage upon eviction, like drywall holes or damaged doors, situations like hoarding or drug use can leave more invasive, dangerous damage, like:

• Mould Infestations: Long-term tenant neglect or the inability to access the unit for maintenance can lead to widespread mold, affecting air quality and structural materials.
• Pests and Waste: Whether a unit has illegal pets or an infestation of roaches and mice, these four-legged squatters usually leave urine, feces, and other contaminants behind.
• Drug Materials: From the sticky resin of cannabis smoke to the more serious chemicals and needles of hard drugs, these materials should be handled by trained professionals.
• Biohazardous Waste: Even without water damage, pests, or drug paraphernalia, many of these units have garbage, urine, and other biohazardous materials present.
