My good buddy from college wasn't so lucky, he got jumped by a Grizz out fishing one day on the Russian River, didn't have time to draw and the bear chewed his face off (he survived just barely but lost his eyesight, sense of smell, entire face and part of skull, spent a year in the hospital undergoing many surgeries, etc.).  

As an example, Milpitas has had a smell issue because of a nearby landfill. 

So we are ridding it of fleas and smells prior to listing it.

To that broker you are a warm body. 

We need to refurbish the tub and the renter is sensitive to smells also this is a 2 day drying and chemical smelling job. 

Then do a good make-ready/light rehab (possibly just new paint, the smell of fresh paint makes a world of difference!) 

If she cannot find a new place by then, sheriff will give her a 24-hours from 9/30, then sheriff lock her out from the property, you hire a locksmith to change the lock, then sheriff will post a big yellow tape at the door that “no body can enter”, and she will just sleep in her car or sleep on the street until she/her social worker can find her a new place.

If I repainted I'd be doing it to get the "wow" factor (and fresh-paint smell) of a completely repainted apartment, not because any walls are so bad currently that potential tenants would look at them and run.I no there's no one-size-fits-all answer, but generally speaking, which of these upgrades would deliver the biggest bang for the buck?

Two universities will be opening their doors there next calendar year with a combined initial student body of 20k roughly.

But, it smells fishy to me.
