As a seller with a skillful handyman it’s easy to patch and hide problems.

The holes left behind, from nails/screws - possibly hanging something, and the required small drywall patch are the result of direct actions by the tenants.

I decided to do a walk through on Fri, July 31, 2020 and found that they are growing marijuana inside a tent in the living room, have 6 cats 1 dog, 4-5 firearms in a closet with no lock-box, holes in the walls - some are obvious that they've been patched and others have not been patched, leaks under every sink that now are growing mold, 1 bathroom sink is completely molded underneath the sink to the point where the sink is slowly sinking in through the wood, and that they are not cleaning.

At $75 per day plus $300 per month the fines will be over $2500 per month because we can't mow a small patch of grass! 

Essentially a no foot traffic zone because any disturbance left patches of exposed weed screen and caused an unintentional intermingling of the rocks and mulch.

Holes in plaster have been patched and repainted in all rooms during week one.

I guess it depends on what you mean by trashed, but it is amazing what patching holes, painting and replacing flooring will do.

Let them leave and if you don't want to remove all the flooring, patch in a new piece of plywood subfloor and glue new VCT over it.

$1000 to swap two appliances is different than $1000 to swap half a dozen light fixtures, do some drywall patch and repair, etc.

*Adding high efficiency water heater & furnace so we didn't have a chase in the kitchen *Custom bar and hand crafted bar top in the basement - we could have gone with something pre-made or not have done a bar down there at all - just a cool feature we added cause it added value/storage to the space  *Upgraded plank flooring in the basement - it had a water proof sealant and was about $2+ more per sq foot than the cheaper stuff *Demoed walls that would have closed off the kitchen - requiring electrical movement *Added a sprinkler system/new sod - we had a sewer pipe we replaced in the yard, so instead of just patching up what we had to, we made the backyard brand new Again, we did make a profit so in no way was this a sour deal for us, just added a lot of really unique personal touches as well as going the extra mile in certain areas.
