Inform us of any outstanding maintenance requests.For the other questions I would frame it in more of a neutral way.

I know the new thinking is gender neutral and we are all the same, but men and women are different.

We use a very light beige color (neutral, not cold or warm) and we paint walls, baseboards and trim all one color.  

Further clarification - when we were renting the unit to them, they had asked if we can change the carpet as they didn't like the color (the bedrooms have non neutral color carpets).

All my questions are open ended and asked in a neutral and accepting manner.

Color is Biscotti very neutral tan looking color, never had any complaints. 

Hey all,I know the countertops question has been asked quite a bit, but wanted to get some answers from people who have installed butcher block (Ikea specifically) in their rentals and how they have held up.My kitchen will have terracotta tiles, so I'm thinking white cabinets with a light, neutral colour for the walls.

It was a nice set of neutral colors, so the owner was okay with the colors and asked for the info on the paint used, so he could just touch up the same paint whenever he moved out.But, most people don't do a good job of painting.  

I'll be going neutral gray on all of my units from here out.Definitely a little dark for my taste, but if you're getting them rented ASAP, clearly it works for the people that matter!

keep it neutral paint colors with bright white trim and baseboards.
