mainly cosmetic: stained floors, repaint, may need to replace carpet with hard wood, resurface cabnets, new shower, repatch water damage. 

Is this as simple as (1) install gutters, (2) install french drain, (3) use killz and repaint? 

If smoking does occur on the premises: 1) Tenant is responsible for all damage caused by the smoking including, but not limited to, stains, burns, odors, and removal of debris; 2) Tenant is in breach of this agreement; 3) Tenant, guests, and all others may be required to leave the premises; and 4) Tenant acknowledges that in order to remove odor caused by smoking, the landlord may need to replace carpet and drapes and paint the entire premises regardless of when these items were last cleaned, replaced, or repainted.

It has already been repainted and had roof sealed recently.

Hello everyone,Can anybody advise me on how much I should pay for labor cost to repaint my 2 rooms (living and bedroom) (around 1000 sf).

Agree the clean out and repaint should be 2 days.

However be prepared to repaint every 2-3 years, seal the deck, and fight the battle against rust.Ultimately we enjoyed owning our property and it did fairly well for us. 

I might treat that bath tile and tub abd have it repainted too.

you fix the place up and rerent ASAP to mitigate damages. any damages are paid from security deposit and a statement as such is mailed out in compliance with your local regulations. then, if your new tenant does not come in until april, you bill old tenant for any days unit was vacant. assuming they paid march rent on time, if you rerent in march, you have to refund any days not vacant. you cannot collect double rent. in the meantime, tell tenant now that you understand his problems and want to do everything possible to keep it from negatively effecting him, however, he has signed a legally binding lease, and if he does not pay april rent, you will file for eviction, which will stay on his record for 7 years. his best option is to help you get a new tenant in there before april 1...no harm no foul. his next steps need to be cooperating with you so you can get handymen in there to assess damage and plan for turnover. tenant can also make sure everything is as clean as possible, as soon as possible. in no way shape or form should you let tenant repaint or even consider repairing anything. that should only be done by your people. honestly, he is only leaving one month early, and leaving mid month gives you more time to rehab and get somebody in there by april 1. if he left last day of april, you would most likely experience a one month vacancy. this may be a blessing in disguise, so use it to get someone in for april 1.
