Door in the basement kicked in; holes in the drywall; blinds broken; etc.She owes me $2000 deductible from a fire her kids caused last December ("You have my word I'll pay you") and she walked out on her last months rent -- so we'll be filing in small claims court.I already have my team scheduled to get in there to pull the carpet, lay LVL, repair & paint.My question -- since I'll be taking some legal action against her -- is should I file a police report for the damage that was done on the way out before I do any repairs? 

Also, to help to reduce the noise from above make sure you have carpet and thick padding. 

A faucet is or toilet is used 10X as much, more spills on carpet and more damage to walls, etc. 

ESA has to be verified with a letter from Dr Dan Dwyer MD in Boise stating that a Mastiff is needed for the disability. 2. you require liability dog coverage of two million dollars for any bite/knocking over Granny incident for the other dog 3. large pet deposit - go higher than @Nathan G. and ask for $2000 deposit (say is for the non ESA dog) as two large dogs will make the carpet smell and any other flooring scratched plus $100 a month for the non ESA dog.

It’s in a great area and probably needs some cosmetic work (carpet & paint).

Paint/markers on the brand new carpet.

And any basic rehab (carpets, paint) aren't going to force too much appreciation. 

They tend to gloss over necessary repairs, focus on paint and carpet, underestimate costs on any repairs they do take on and do a poor job of managing subs and making sure things like liens are released and tax docs are in order.

Replaced the back porch/deck, painted inside and outside, put new carpet in it, added raised planter boxes and added plants around the front of the house.

Maybe cleaning carpet, washing walls, whatever will remedy that.
