Damage can include graffiti on the walls, concrete in the toilets and sinks, ripped or stained rugs, broken windows, nails or hammer marks in the floors, missing doors, and any other damaging mischief your angry tenant can dream up.8. 

@Rob Duhon,Splurge and get wood looking ceramic tile, it looks beautiful, easy to clean (for tenants and for turnover) ,tenants love it, waterproof, and as a bonus-- it's cold, so a lot of people put down rugs so it's another layer of protection!     

The gov agent you are colluding with Your business partner who works for the government going to sweep things under the rug for you?

They will clean top to bottom and even wash throw rugs, load dishwasher etc.

Upon his departure he was supposed to leave the keys under the rug but he did not do so because he believed that the $200 security deposit was to be returned.

Do they tear down old homes in mature neighbourhoods  and intensify by building towns or semi-detached dwellings?

I tend to put it bedrooms also as a tenant always has the option of putting an area rug over it if they prefer a warmer feel, whereas there's no alternative if there's carpet in the bedroom.

I even had my leg fall through a floor and another time a rug was hiding a 3’ diameter hole on the third floor.

Have accidents on rugs and carpeting.

This will intensify, leading to greater wear and tear, higher utility bills, etc.We know that there will be even more renters, as the homeownership rate is dropping sharply, due to foreclosures, bad credit, lack of down payments, and tighter mortgage underwriting.
