Smell is gone without replacing carpets or repainting.

I have just got the place cleaned out and repainted.

I did offer him a gradual increase and even offer to repaint the apartment, install new flooring, and add a dishwasher but his reply was "I don't want any changes, just leave me on the same price that i'm paying in the last 35 years".His 30 days notice was for Nov 1st. and was served on 09.28.18.

Everything has been recently repainted inside and out.

Besides lost rent, you got to re-paint, re-carpet sometimes, and major fix-up if the tenant is a slob.

Personally I would not change anything and generally stay away from paint on wood so as not to have to continually do repainting.

The deposit is really inconsequential, especially since there's already plenty of damage and repainting to perform.

Nothing much to add here, just re-texture and repaint.

Purchase price: $77,000 Sale price: $109,000 House hack, no upgrades other than a little interior paint to cover up some oil stains and repainted the trim to the backdoor, and we put some mulch in the frontyard around the tree and under the shrubs.

For the bathroom, for instance, repainting, re-grouting the shower walls, installing new shower head, swapping out vanity, swapping out toilet, and installing new faucets would completely transform the space and isn't too difficult to do on your own.
