Tenants split leaving $25 000 bill

A KIND-HEARTED landlord has been left thousands of dollars in debt after two tenants ran off without paying rent.

As a result, Olvin Clarke has been forced to take legal action in an effort to recoup the almost $25 000 owed to him.

The 71-year-old retiree, who resides at Lot 1, Constant, St George, has two upstairs two-bedroom apartments attached to his home, which he shares with his teenaged daughter.

But both of his former tenants have left within months of each other still owing him a substantial amount of money. (RB)
