Really really dirty tenant.....

[Amanda Dehaas]

We closed on a property and inherited the leases (that aren't up for the next 4 months - a year). In doing my initial walkthroughs I noticed each unit was kept really well and tidy, asides from one unit (Lease is up in May). This tenant has leased the unit for 2-3 yrs, her mother lives down the street, and until she inherits that home, then she says she loves living in our apartment complex and has no plan to leave. So, I have a great long term tenant, that pays on time, and that gets along with all of our other tenants, BUT there is a crazy amount of grease on the kitchen walls, the place looks like it hasn't been cleaned in a year, etc. 

Should I just draft a new lease in a few months stating the condition of the apartment needs to be in "x,y,z shape" and/or talk to her about it? How concerned about this should I be? Any words, terminology anyone has to suggest would be great!
