I had one apartment that was so bad I had to replace the HVAC ductwork, the HVAC, the carpet, the ceiling tiles and repaint all the surfaces, plus put in an ozone machine for several days!

Since we started this, we usually kept about 6 months worth, but we’ve been hit with multiple AC’s going out at the same time, redid flooring throughout house as well as repainting....all at the same time.

I dont want to do these updates now because I plan on doing a major gut job and repaint job so Id rather wait until their lease has expired or if they want to move out earlier I'm okay with that too. 

, when they want new landscaping , but , of course you should get on it right away , repaint the house to their taste ?

Tenants splatter grease all over, and if you have tile behind the stove, it just wipes right off and you don't have to scrub and repaint.

I offered to repaint his garage doors (which desperately need it) in exchange for him putting up with the all the noise from the jackhammering.

Some Kilz for the ceiling and a complete interior repaint and I netted $23,500 in about one month.My wife and friends laughed about me paying all that money for my masters degree just to be a roofer, most of whom earned about $3.50/ hour.

For example one tenant wanted his unit repainted they had been there a few years so it wasn't an absurd request.

Tenants left after 30 days notice (given the high increase in rents) and a two-man crew spent 5 days re-painting the entire apartment top to bottom, installing new lights, pressure cleaning exterior walls and driveway.

Goal is to rent again for $1,650 so feels like we should repaint.
