Since I posted this I was introduced to a short sale negotiator in the next town over that has offered his servicies for a pretty reasonable fee so Monday I'll touch base with him and hopefully dish it off to him to deal with for a % so I don't have to.

He went on to explain that all the remediation company will do is wipe it down with Dawn dish detergent and repaint the surface.I would love to save on the rehab costs but do not want to set myself up for issues down the road.

If they get a buyer call or email, if they have time to even deal with it, they'll dish it off to a buyers agent in their firm.

We are in Florida so I have 30 days from March 20thNot sure if today April 19th counts since this is the 30th dayI have pictures of the damages and receipts for work but they are only close to $1000Receipts have handyman workThere lease expired on April 14 th and i gave them 6 days to repair damagesI have receipt for cleaning, pest control , Ac repairs , dish washer repairs For some items i do not have receiptsI sent them a copy of notice via whatsappIs that admissible in court or can i send a new notice today ?

Don't mind @Lucas Carl, he just wants me doing the work for him ;) I do have another thought re: the kitchen, though - consider glass-front cabinets or open shelves, so guests can easily spot the location of dishes, glassware, etc.

@Geoffrey Tanudjaja People that rent bedrooms in a shared house aren't going to have their own furniture 99% of the time, so that means you have three beds, dressers, etc plus enough living room furniture for three individuals to comfortably occupy one space, plus kitchen utensils, dishes, etc.

Or is it like DISH network and they have you on the hook for min. 2 years?

Or you might notice an approach to housing that might be applicable upon your return to US market, albeit perhaps only to Korean submarkets in US (K-town, etc), who knows.  

It's a strong Korean community.

For a few hundred dollars a year, you have the peace of mind that you're not going to have to dish out thousands when that dishwasher, AC, furnace, microwave, or whatever goes out.
