For instance, there is a list of things with values assigned, ie each damaged blind will cost x, if they don't steam the carpets they will be deducted x, if the fridge is not cleaned they will be charges x, etc.

For example,- my tenant made no effort to clean the apartment, floors were dirty, oven untouched fridge dirty.- I had a former landlord charge me for replacement of lightbulbs, in my case the tenant had about 6-7 bulbs burnt out or missing.- I had to re-caulk the tub as it was in rough shape.

At 19, depending on your savings, having 4 of everything (electric, gas, boiler, hot water heater, sinks, showers, ovens, fridges - things that can cost a lot) can be a big capex surprise even in units not in need of cosmetic renovation.

We don't provide washers/dryers in our SFR (or fridges).

For instance in CA, if you upgrade the kitchen you have to have a minimum of five dedicated circuits for things like the disposal, counter top GFI's, oven, DW, fridge, etc.

There is no way I'd repair a 14 year old fridge.

Maybe a mini fridge....?

I always put a couple of blocks behind the kitchen range & fridge & laundry machines, never where a visiting toddler might find it.

I wrote a welcome note to each guest, stocked the fridge with cans of bubbly water, bottle of wine and snack bars.

If there's a big hole behind the oven or fridge, you can get sheet rock or the steel wire mesh.
