Seems like you should not have to but showing they broke house rules leading to damage may help. 

I would send a lease violation notice that advises the tenant that they have violated the no smoking provision of the lease and that it needs to be cured immediately - to include complying (not smoking) and remove any odor/damage that may have resulted.

• How do leases typically handle furniture/appliance damage or wear?

Poor communicators, poor housekeeping skills, prescription med abuse, big dogs that they couldn't properly care for, damaging, etc.

Normally, we would say no and wait until the end of the lease but due to the situation and hardships we would inspect for pets and pet damages.

An attorney is not needed provided your not making a claim of fraud or misconduct/damages are being sought. 

@Fulati PaerhatiRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Does anyone have a template or method that they use in order to screen tenants effectively in order to reduce the risk of non payment and damage to the property? 

Please, if anyone has the name(s) of a reputable Detroit management company, please share. 

When the tenant moves out and the funds are distributed either to the tenant or the landlord for damages, then the subaccount for that specific tenant has a zero balance and that subaccount is closed.
