If the former, the consider just making it sparkling clean and give it a fresh coat of paint.New knobs on the kitchen cabinets will often make a bigger difference than you'd think and not much expense.

It is refreshing to hear you suggest what I had just decided to do and tell her that she is welcome to sue me if she feels she has a case.

Here's our before and almost finished after of a kitchen we refreshed:

That's why it pays to have the unit sparkling clean in every possible  way.

At that price point, tenants are grateful to have a landlord who actually takes care of the place proactively, refreshes elements of the property before they're decrepit, etc. 

I could get $100 more a month and maybe attract a better tenant if I can get the kitchen to sparkle a little more.

Anyway, they just moved out and the paint needed some refreshing (wipe pet slobber :), the yard was full of dog droppings, and the carpets needed to be cleaned.

My business partner and I were discussing this the other day, about how refreshing it would be to see a PM company offer certain guarantees to us as owners.

This unit was sparkling, with brand new appliances and professionally cleaned when they moved in.

Just to refresh your memory, I am trying to get a permit to replace 6-8 studs and put new siding on the back wall.
