Man Signs Lease For Elmhurst House and Finds Doors Damaged, Beer Cans Inside

The man found out somebody was apparently living in his Elmhurst rental before he moved in.

Uninvited guests apparently broke the doors and left beer cans around an Elmhurst house a man was planning to move into Tuesday.

The man, identified only as "Jim," reportedly signed a lease for the North Geneva Avenue house Tuesday, but when he got there "noticed the window on the front door to be broken and the side exterior door and frame to be damaged," police said.

"The victim also observed empty beer cans inside the residence," police said.
