Inherited teanent damaged and moved out.

[Alex Moazeni]

Hi.

My inherited teanent moved out since her lease was up right one month after closing the property.

I have no pet policy, but she had the $500 deposit for pet along with $1000 deposit.

The thing is all carpet are damaged to the point that I've been replaced them with the Planck,due to the very strong smell of animals urine.

But,still after the floor replacement, the smell is there as strong.

Found the company they will start deodorizing and use all kind of chemicals, but they said there is slight chance of I might end up painting the entire unit.

They will charge me $2000 just for deodorizing not the paint.

So far I am at $3900 flooring wich has been done plus $2000 for odor and another $500 for cleaning the unit, so hopefully it will be rentable if not ending paint job wich that would be another $6000.

Already emailed the situation to the teanent wich she already moved out on July 1st.

I am thinking wat would be the best action I can take if (most likely) she refuses to pay the damage?

Appreciate your thoughts in advance.
