It took a woman 3 years and cost her $200K to kick a tenant out of her LA home. She says she cried when she saw the bloody mess he left.

When Alison Weinsweig, 67, rented her luxury Westwood apartment to a tenant in 2020, she never anticipated it would turn into an almost three-year ordeal, let alone one that would set her back more than $200,000.It was a "strain on many levels," she told Business Insider."I felt terribly violated," she added. "I never thought I'd get him out. I thought I'd be stuck with him for the rest of my life."When Weinsweig finally gained access to her property in April, she found it in an eerie state of disarray, which caused her to run out in tears.Images provided to BI…
