Can you charge a tenant for a rust stain in the bathtub?
Hello! I have a condo that I rent out in Michigan. My renters just moved out and they left my condo filthy. I've been reading up and apparently in Michigan I cannot deduct a cleaning fee from their security deposit. However, they left some rust stains in the corner of the bathtub (what looks like from a metal can they had there), I've tried CLR, Lime away, bleach, etc. and I cannot get this to come out. Is there something I can withhold from their security deposit for this type of thing? Any input is appreciated. Thank you!!
