I had relatively few problems with the tenants - the biggest one was when they didn't replace the smoke detector batteries!

We actually own and operate a high-end luxury home cleaning business.We hired professional cleaners upon move-out & also had the carpets professionally cleaned at 6 months living there and again upon move-out and used proper chemicals and a professional power washer to clean any oil stains from the driveway we may have caused with our old work vehicle.Our landlord charged us the following odd, ridiculous charges:$3.33 To empty out the ice from the freezer ice maker $1.08 To screw a lightbulb in the bathroom vanity$30.00 To remove a nice black metal paper towel holder we had put in the kitchen cabinet$6.67 To fill and paint a tiny minuscule hole barely visible to the naked eye in the kitchen pantry door$3.00 For a smoke detector battery$3.33 To remove a small piece of duct tape from a wall switch in the kitchen we had placed there because every time someone flipped the switch accidentally it would turn the dishwasher off.
