For houses, we still provide range and refer, but no laundry equipment...only the hookups.Furnishings also do add cost to your turnovers, as there will be wear or stains that are "normal wear and tear" and you will need to reupholster; or a tv will fail; lots of issues that you might not have in your own home, but that prospective Tenants will notice if you do not address.

I always install a 30 inch stove with a 36 inch fan that has two fans built in to get the grease out of the kitchen.I own many rental units and every time a tenant moves and the house has a white kitchen sink the sink is always chipped, or has a yellow rust-colored stain and the entire sinks always have to be replaced.

That said, if you do get them and you choose a "fancy" front loader washing machine I would post some rules about leaving the washer door open, physically drying excess water off the door and drum, and any other instructions to prevent mildew because those units are evil and you will get mildew stains when your tenants leave, especially if they're used to normal washers.

Am afraid your lease was not descriptive enough and may have a tough time in court.Take this as a lessons learned and start working on improving your lease from the things you are seeing with current tenants and then wait it out if you can, which you seem to indicate you can do.Even with a very tight lease, I paid close to $3000 in evictions not to mention the heartache from tenants that I inherited on my first duplex purchase where I lived on one side and rented the other.I will never again inherit tenants.These ones moved in an extra person a year and a half in, despite lease saying not to, smoked marijuana and cigarettes in house despite lease saying not to and worse, I lived on property so they became very sneaky about how they broke their lease and these was just a nightmare.I hate evictions, but I equally hate bad tenants and tenants that I have not personally screened and that is why I refuse to take on tenants at property purchase.I also always, always do unit inspections.I just did one yesterday and glad I did, which I had initially decided I would not do, but nope, get in there and see how your property is being maintained.My fairly new tenant seems to have an issue with basic housekeeping.There was a smell in the unit, which I still cannot figure out what it is, but brought it to their attention and will be following up, he has a car that leaks oil endlessly on my newly resurfaced concrete driveway and garage flow, has a ring in toilet bowl that is also stained and smelling toilet from lack of cleaning.It pains me to see a unit that I took great care of when I lived in it to see what it is quickly turning into but I am nipping that in the butt right now.Dirty tenants can be a liability to any landlord, but overall tenants will try to test you and see just how vigilant you are and how much they can get away with.I also make notes on what I want to update on my next lease when I run into issues.Pets?
