Tenant Chargeback?

[Burke B.]

Good Friday All!

I have a land lording question. I turned a primary residence in another state into a rental last summer. Since out of state and new to land lording, I turned property management over to a PM. Our first tenant from last summer just vacated at the end of their lease. PM said that the tenant left the property in exceptional condition. However, there were a few items 1) there was a light stain in the master that neither my wife and I remember or that the PM caught upon assuming responsibility when we left. We believe it to be new but admittedly could have all missed it. Carpet cleaner got it out but at a $75 cost. 2) there was some small "dent" damage to a wall in a spare bedroom that we are certain was not there before. Repair estimate is $100 plus paint. Easily fixable if I weren't 8 hours away but I am.

Would most of you experienced landlords charge this stuff back to the tenant or would you give them some slack and cover as a part of doing business because of leaving the rest of the house in such exceptional condition otherwise?

Thanks!
