There isn’t a single thing in the house besides the heater that hasn’t been changed out. 95% of the stuff I put into the house came from auctions which is how I kept the costs down (was getting pallets of lights and ceiling fans for $175.00, bath tubs for $1.00 yes one dollar and hardwood flooring for $0.50 linear foot) as well as doing 90% of the work myself.

The tenant was also charged $130 for tenant caused repairs (I.E. dog holes in back yard).The work needed upon move out was:- Full paint including ceilings in all 3 upstairs bedrooms - normal wear and tear- Paint interior and exterior doors front and back - normal wear and tear the sun beats down on these doors- Fill in all nail holes and repair where old curtain rods were on windows- Install smoke alarms - normal upon move out- Change furnace filter - normal upon move out- Fill dog holes in back yard - Check all plumbing and electrical to ensure is functioning (switches, plugs, outlets, drains, faucets) - precautionary to avoid maintenance issues as it is cheaper to do everything at once rather than have several maintenance calls after a move in- Roof repairs - not tenant damage- Ceiling repairs in upper bedrooms - due to roof leak- Repair storm door on front and rear entry- Remove all debris throughout the property- Check all cabinets, doors, hinges, are tight and open/close as they should - precautionary to avoid maintenance issues as it is cheaper to do everything at once rather than have several maintenance calls after a move in- Repair kitchen cabinet that is leaning forward - minor repair- Install shower head- Reglaze bathtub - not tenant damage- Install light bulbs in every socket - normal upon move out- Check all ceiling fans operate and install globes where missing - precautionary to avoid maintenance issues as it is cheaper to do everything at once rather than have several maintenance calls after a move in- Change front and back entry door locks - normal In move outYour response below:Skye,Isn't this supposed to be covered by the tenant's deposit?

The category contains Vanity/mirror/Vanity top, Faucet/connections/trap, Bathtub, Diverter, Cement Board, Shower Tile, Accent Tile, Flooring, Tile Setting and Waterproofing, Fan/light, Vanity Light, Toilet/connections and Misc.My example house I carried $1,135.00… WAIT, just over $1,000 for a bathroom remodel.

I guess it’s a culture thing  when I worked for a big syndicator in the 80s.. they kept having fires .. turned out some of the folks that came in after the war were using the sink in the bathroom to put coals in it and cook their BBQ right there.. it was a mess and this probably pre smoke alarm days..I think my Napalese family keeps live fish in the bath tub but I cant  say for sure  .

The tenants in my condo (upper unit) left the water running while filling a bathtub, resulting in water leaking into the downstairs condo.My tenant has $300K liability insurance, but apparently it doesn’t include any negligence water damage.

During the working hours, I have been working with a custom staircase company building absolutely bananas spiral staircases and solid wood bathtubs and sinks. 

@Ashish AcharyaGive me a shout post 4/15.Right now I generally get on BP in-between clients to de-stress a little.Not a good time to get into a debate and dive into code sections.Perhaps my most recent example was too hasty reviewing the regs right now...The "-3" reg defines structural components by reference to Treas Reg Sec 1.48-1.The term “structural components” includes such parts of a building as walls, partitions, floors, and ceilings, as well as any permanent coverings therefor such as paneling or tiling; windows and doors; all components (whether in, on, or adjacent to the building) of a central air conditioning or heating system, including motors, compressors, pipes and ducts; plumbing and plumbing fixtures, such as sinks and bathtubs; electric wiring and lighting fixtures; chimneys; stairs, escalators, and elevators, including all components thereof; sprinkler systems; fire escapes; and other components relating to the operation or maintenance of a building.We know that a building and building structures are a single unit of property.  

One of them brought up that some of the caulking in their bathtub is cracked and could start having mold at some point.

The entire drainage system isn't functioning properly and it causes some staggering in the bathtub.

With some fresh paint new counter, and a new bathtub and surround in one of them I think they will get $575/mo each side all day long.
