@Sparkle Williams Your lawyer can be anywhere, HOWEVER, if there's a loan involved the lender (in some types of loans, such as CMBS loans), requires you to have legal counsel that's licensed in the state where the property is located.Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (CMBS) loans are a type of commercial loan.As for the procedures, @Wayne Brooks is correct.

They also have a product called Sparkle that will clean it before hand.

You need to have a great house cleaning crew that can get you place sparkling clean between guests.Then is comes down to you managing the VRBO and/or Air site and proving great communication with your future and current guest.There is a lot more details that can be found here on BP.

Its better to have sparkling clean windows than dirty horrible blinds.  

San Diego has lost most of the sparkle due to COVID and many of the people I met out here have moved away.

Treat your real estate like a business and your friend will receive their security deposit back when they leave your property sparkling clean as you expect them to.

walls are in great condition with only a few minor nail holes and additional minor sparkling needed.  

So you can tell them that you're filing for the eviction, but if they leave the place sparkling clean and no damages, you will withdraw the eviction.I guess it depends on what kind of tenant they've been, but you say they've been late frequently, so they may not be responsible people to begin with.

Case in point, I know a tenant who is looking for a house (with guaranteed income, her take home monthly is $4,660 and she is looking for a 4/2 rental in the price range of $1000-$1200 within Memphis); I have been involved in a conversation with her landlord (she is deaf and does not communicate well in written word and speech; but is a sharp, sparkling woman).
