Depending on how her contract is worded the landlord can probably find "something" to charge her for after 3 years that would not be considered normal wear and tear.

Makes thing easier to remove for repairs or replacements with out tearing up edges.

I knew he was waiting for me to answer so he could tear me to shreds.

Your memories of that house will fade quickly with the wear and tear of tenants.

Everything you have to do to the property to get it back into its original rentable condition (not including normal wear and tear) can be deducted.

I am not sure if it is a desire, or desperation, but it is there, and it hunts me, it calls my name, it brings tears to my eyes.

If they bid it as a 1 layer tear off , with no wood replacement and there were 3 layers and that much bad wood , the salesman does not know his business .

He asked me....is it better to stage the house or remove all the furniture.Since all of our properties were bought to be rentals, we have never "staged" a house....seems like a hassle to set up and tear down.But, seeing that the furniture is already in the house, I was curious what the BP community thoughts are.So......To stage or not to stage....that is the question. :)

When do you find a complete tear down is better than trying to rehab a property?

I am not sure you can charge the cleaning and painting since that would be normally wear and tear costs.
