In the event you do have to pay for the repair (although I would heavily contest this with the contractor) I think its fair to charge the tenants with an explanation that you did incur damages for the repair although you previously believed that you would not 

They offer a $10K repair fund to fix damages in addition to SD plus warranty for appliance repair etc.I have no say in whom they choose to move in, whether there are animals, limit on # of occupants etc. they reserve right to inspect property so i have no idea if they can tell me to remodel, paint etc.does this make sense i have a vacancy coming up in October (bad rental timing).

Insurance doesn't cover anything anymore and we can almost just pay for all damages with the money we spend on it! 

The guests have a credit card on file and your policy should allow you to charge for damages or excessive cleaning.

It's all in how conservative you are in your approach to underwriting your deals.Even when a Seller says they've improved the property, the tenants are still tenants and do damage to brand new improved units. 

They are very likely to respond, but keep in mind you can't get dollars from a turnip.My experience is wear and damage are higher with some S8 tenants and not at all with others, just like regular tenants.

With no structures, there's little to damage and it's not like a defaulting tenant can steal it. 

Here’s what CCC looks like when applied to large multifamily properties:Key Elements of CCC1.

If you really want to get rid of them, sweeten the pot by offering to return their deposit after you verify the unit is empty with no damages. 

Also think about what can be damaged (tenants generally don't take care of the place as well as you would).
