When to make repairs or replace damaged items?
I have a single family home that has been leased to the same tenant for 3 years. They pay on time but are extremely messy people. There are 4 broken or missing window blinds, a broken kitchen drawer, molding damaged by the cat, etc..... Should I go ahead with some of the repairs and charge them for it? I know I can keep the deposit but I'm concerned the deposit may not cover all the unseen things that might show up whenever they move. I know I will have to repaint the inside of the house too.
