Moving? Don't Let The Landlord Keep Your Security Deposit!

Hey Oregonians, moving to a new pad? Great, hopefully you're next journey in life will be a memory worth cherishing! 

If you rented, the security deposit you put down in the place you're moving out of can be useful when moving into your new place. Having those additional funds available will definitely allow your departure to be smoother. 

Unfortunately though, many lose out on the money that's actually theirs for simply not cleaning out the rental of their junk. Landlords have the legal right to keep your security deposit if you fail to satisfy their move out checklist.

So many procrastinate to the last minute when it comes to planning their move. Understandably too. Moving is stressful! 

What really becomes overwhelming is once you've jammed your moving vehicle to the brim and yet you still have a garage or bedroom full of stuff. Maybe more.

Some of it could possibly be sold but you simply DON'T have the time! You're expected to be out in a few days and your friends suddenly become "busy." 

You panic and decide to leave, knowing you'll lose the security deposit. How much was it? Over a thousand? Ouch! You could of easily got that deposit back if you would've cleared the house out of the debris. 

You may justify it in your head by telling yourself, "oh well, I just didn't have the time." In reality, you could've called a junk removal service to clean it up. 

The service isn't necessarily cheap, most jobs average around $300 in the Eugene area but if it means getting a $1,000+ security deposit back then its money well spent? 

If you're eco conscious you'll be relieved to know most hauling services will do their best to donate and/or recycle as much of your junk as possible.

The House of Horrors

Early October of 2016 Junk Munkiez had its biggest and dirtiest job still to date. We received a call from a lady in Washington asking us what we did exactly and what our prices were. By the sound of her voice you could tell she was in a stressful situation. A tenant they had rented their property to became a drug addict, collecting enormous amounts of trash and junk that he apparently though was useful stuff. It wasn't! To make matters worse he was a messy hunter, having a poached bear hide hanging in a shed that was leaking rain water, preventing the hide from ever drying.  When the tenant stopped paying, the lady and her family had the man evicted but that didn’t stop him from returning. He’d continue living there by breaking into the property which was easy to do considering how far away the family was and the fact the house was far out from the city.  They eventually found out, turned off the power to the house and had a restraining order filed against h...
