I have rented out a house for less than a year. We found that tenant has been very poorly maintaining the grout, which has changed from white to almost black on huge area. Also, there is chip on the cabinet frame and door frame, which I know can be fixed easily. However I am not very happy with how negligent the tenant is towards a rental home. Can I deduct the repair and cleaning from the security deposit? Thanks

Hi, I am new landlord here and recently rented out a house. The tenant asked for replacement of the stove burner grate due to grease covered. It costs about $200. There is no functional issue to the burner and rather seems to be cosmetic. Please advise if this is reasonable to change. Thanks.

just a side note, the tenant has requested first month free rental, windows coverings (not satisfied with the new blinds being provided), and free utilities for 5 days. We have try to accommodate all the items she pointed out, but this seems to be unnecessary.
