Certainly some damage, but they didn’t destroy the place. Driveway & street next to house completely saturated with oil. Not sure what can be done. I expect its permanent in the driveway.

Re-keyed all locks.
Got trash out of the house & had a company do a move-out cleaning.
Handyman begins tomorrow on repairs.

Will start advertising for move-in ready next week.
Definitely screening carefully going forward.

I got lucky.[/quote]

is that motor oil? If so, call the EPA and report your tenant and screw them over that way.

If you need a cleanup, go to an autoparts store.They sell material that will soak up the oil. Then scrub with degreaser or use muriatic acid… The degreaser will dislodge most of the oil. The muriatic acid will burn the concrete and turn it a full white. Then when it rains the concrete will eventually weather and turn back to a normal color. Please don’t let degreaser and concentrated muriatic acid run into the storm drains. It will empty out into the ocean and kill a lot of marine life.
