I am currently charging 2,000 for my four-bedroom apartment. I normally have four tenants. If a family of seven wants to rent, can I increase the rent to offset the included water/sewer, included electric and wear and tear? I don't want to discriminate, but my costs will go up with more people.

My current tenants lease is coming due at the end of this month, and I am currently seeking new tenants. I have told my tenants that instead of having potential tent and physically see the property that I will do a one time video walk though. After we agreed upon a day and time I went up and the place was a mess. I obviously don't want the video walk though to show and unkept property to potential tenants. My question is, if they are unwilling to clean up, can I hire a cleaning crew to do it and then require them to pay the bill?
