I've never had to use it, but I know painters who prefer Zinsser Gardz to Kilz for damaged drywall. Gardz is supposed to prevent the sort of problems Reilly mentions, such as water soaking through and loosening paper or leftover wallpaper paste. I even know a some who use Gardz before they patch or skim-coat. That seems extreme to me, but they swear by it.

I wonder how much it would cost to have that residue tested. I am curious as to what it is. Any scientist out there with a lab?

Well- whatever it is... it sucks. Painting starts today.
One of the reasons they got evicted was for converting the garage into a grow room. They were bottling and selling... something ( there's rolls of blank "r/x" labels all over the place) There's sticky paths where they tracked resin all over the house. Turns out they disabled the stove regulator to burn extra hot and also tampered with the house wiring to run extra juice to ythe garage. - so I know a portion of it is pot residue but they may have been cooking something else. Would be interesting to know what it is.

Black tar heroin maybe? Apparently makes a mess...
You can order narcotic test kits online. Same ones the local cops use.

I doubt they would be labeling black tar heroin with Rx labels. Thanks to our feckless leaders the decriminalization of pot is supporting a huge black market, something it was supposed to prevent

A friend has 80% of her wealth in rental properties at one location. I'll make sure she reads this. I warned her that one bad tenant can put your finances in the crapper.
There are still some good mid-cap stocks available. Diversify or die.

...tampered with the house wiring to run extra juice to ythe garage... That’s what the investigators would have found after I torched the place...
What you want probably isn’t sold at Home Depot. Anything that works probably has fumes and causes cancer, and there are laws against this class of solvent from being sold at non commercial outlets. Call some pros.
Next time check criminal and credit, go month to month after a period, don’t renew if the place isn’t pristine. Bet you missed these points as they prevent 99% of problems and it’s been expensive as fuk, huge difference a bad tenant makes.

You could try one of the resins to see if it is a marijuana!
Or maybe get your stoner guy to verify...

Pot residue should clean up with isopropyl alcohol and some scrubbing.
Unless it was like lacquered on somehow. Possibly the result of hash extraction.
Speaking of hash oil extraction, and landlords, here's a cautionary tale from up in The Emerald Triangle - an area largely devoid of people, yet brimming with cautionary tales. These a-holes sure bit off more than they can chew. Don't let this happen to you!
...around October of 2016, the Pauls allegedly agreed to rent their detached garage to Mohr for between $100 and $200 a month so he could trim marijuana in there.
...Tamara Paul smelled gas and went into the garage to investigate, finding Renner and Mohr with a "small" case of butane, according to the affidavit. She allegedly told investigators that the young men told her they were just making a small amount of hash and that she told them to be careful.
First came the explosion, and it came out of nowhere.
Then came the flames, and as they reached some 40 feet in the air, what sounded like gunshots — hundreds of them — echoing down the quiet residential street...
...three young men — Xavier Renner, Arron Mohr and Aaron Schisler — were taken to the hospital with third-degree burns covering an estimated 60 to 90 percent of their bodies is that the explosion was the result of a butane hash lab.
Five weeks later, Renner died in the University of California Davis Medical Center's burn unit...
In court Sept. 18, the Pauls pleaded not guilty to charges of manufacturing a controlled substance, manufacturing concentrated cannabis using a volatile solvent, allowing a place for preparing a controlled substance, child endangerment, drug possession and murder.

I guess smoking pot's no fun anymore, now that it's legal, so some people have to make it drugs to keep that edge. Only senior citizen hippy throwbacks smoke buds today. The kids are all into dabs, oil, shatter now. Probably not one in twenty could even roll a joint.

If you scrub with full strength TSP and spray with oil base KILZ then you should be good to go with your previous tenants.
Otherwise you are in the realm of Galloot Cologne. Don't try it people...

Pre screening isn't a failsafe. Im not sure what I could have done differently in the beginning. The couple passed a credit and background check 3 years ago when they applied. ( at least the property management company *told* me they did) For the first two years they were clean and paid the rent on time. I did inspections once a year and noticed the electrical modifications and a couple other lease violations early this year. What changed was their occupations- they quit their jobs to " work at home" and everything went to hell in in less than a year.
I dont think being drug dealers is working out for them . Definitely didn't work out for me.

A property management company is a double agent, they work in the interest of the tenant as well. I had an ex con literally just out of prison placed by a property manager because his wife passed the background check. That wouldn’t have flown past me. Like 3 mos later there’s an eviction, neighbors were getting threatened, etc.
Credit is a funny thing, they all have blemishes, that’s often why they’re renters. Love to see the report for these potheads, bet it’s awesome. I don’t trust others to screen any of that stuff after watching a property manager deal with it for a few years - all losers.
Property manager doesn’t care, they can look at that mess and see the $$$ they’ll make on the cleanup, or maybe they won’t bother and the next tenants will be even bigger losers to live in a degraded place - they get their take of your rent all the same.
Clean the place up so it attracts good ez tenants and manage it yourself. Be patient and ruthless screening, the place empty an extra month is cheap compared to a bad tenant.
