Ask for restitution for damages and delays. 

The roof begun leaking this week and has caused water damage to the ceiling of my unit and I notified the HOA of my issue on Monday.

Further, set a demand for a HUGE amount of damages.  

Why pay $2,000 more and then run the risk of damaging the kitchen table or spilling wine on your white chair and having to pay for a replacement?

Have always wanted to do it, but never had the nerve or the knowlege. 

Also how much pet damage insurance I should ask them to carry or do I just need to make sure their renter's insurance covers pet damages?

If there are any concerns with the property that are suspected to be causing a safety issue or potential damage to the property you can enter without notice.

@Atul Mohlajee not sure who your attorney is, but three of our attorneys approved our automatically renewing lease that requires tenant to give proper Notice so it does NOT auto-renewal.Michigan law also allows any length of Notice requirement, ours is 60 days.That aside, a judge can rule however they want, forcing the losing side to go through an expensive appeal process.Regarding the 1.5 SD, they are legally allowed to deduct any damages, then apply the rest to outstanding rent.My opinion is that the PMC should only be able to charge:1) Rent + lease utilities until a replacement tenant is found (Michigan statute)2) Whatever the lease contract states

We do not replace cabinets or vanities without charging the tenant for the damages they caused.   

They would still be responsible for repairing any damage above normal wear and tear.
