How to minimize potential for damage upon tenant moving out

[Brian W.]

What are some ideas that can help encourage the tenant to leave the place in good shape and to prevent or minimize damage done by a disgruntled tenant who is getting evicted?

Should I remind tenants of their security deposit before they move out (either voluntary or eviction) so they leave place in good shape?

I was thinking about reminding them of the exact dollar amount of their security deposit by saying something like, "Upon moving out, pending there are no damages, you'll get your $1000 deposit back." I would do this for both voluntary move-outs and evictions: 1. To get the tenants in good standing who are voluntarily moving out to leave the place in good shape, and 2. To discourage damage resulting from anger over an eviction.

What are you guys' thoughts?

Any other ideas?
