How do You Address Missed Repairs/Issues After Tenant Vacates?
I have had this happen many times and I end up paying the cost of the repair/issue since it is caught by the new tenant and the security deposit has already been returned to the old tenant. Property manager charges 100% of first months rent. My properties rent for between $2000-$2600. Would it be fair for me to ask the PM to cover the repair cost since he was the one who missed it?
Examples are cracked window (blinds were closed at the time of inspection), cracked bathroom tiles, carpet stain behind closet door, missing cabinet shelf, hold in drywall behind door. Each of these issues would have been items covered by the previous tenant's security deposit, but they were all missed during move-out inspection. These examples span 5 turn-overs. How do you normally handle these situations?
