I will just negotiate the total repair cost (while removing myself from making judgement about what's tenant damage or not), and receive the full deposit. 

@James Wise You've got to share your connection man...every time I post my map it gets removed from the forums...interesting.

He offered me $2k to remove them amd never talk about him ahain but wanted me to sign such a messed up contract.

For most parcels this means removing trash, bush-hogging, tilling and planting a food plot to attract wildlife, posting no-trespassing signs, etc.  

Lastly, you need to immediately and forever remove the payment of attorney legal fees to the prevailing party from your lease.

Otherwise, if he qualifies on his own, say you can remove her name from the lease with his knowing about it and it is up to them to sort out the deposit themselves.

We have so far removed all the stuff, gutted almost the entire house, and are currently stuck in permit jail working on the septic relocation.

It turned out that the roommate had been molesting the 8 year old for months and his wife new about it but she didn't want to loose this monster she was married to.

But before this, if you had carpet on the wood (which is a bit crazy), it will take hours/days to remove all the tack and nails, take out all the quarter round, scrape the edges, replace the bad wood, and fill the cracks. 

It has appreciated a bit since we've purchased and I've been wondering if I should remove myself from the deed.
