Inability to pay the deposit in advance is a great screening tool and you should never compromise on it.Your next step should be to start the eviction.

I would try and compromise on the cost of repairs.For you this cost would be a tax write-off, for the tenants it is not.   

Compromise on something else other than that. 

Do you have the mindset that will allow you to walk away if they won't compromise?

@Rion RedingerIf someone has a massive portfolio and is making 6 or 7 figures in passive income per year, then helping out a single mom or whatever is no big deal but if someone only has a few properties, handing out gifts, credits and all this other stuff might eventually cause the tenants to start paying late and cause an eviction and cause a negative cash flow.There's a balance between being nice and compromising your business and future.

I told one of the tenants by phone  and email on April 30 I would reimburse her part of the floor replacement cost ($300) as a compromise if she pays all of the April rent by the 10 day notice deadline (May 6) and the May rent by May 30. 

This might be a good compromise between painting the whole house ($3.5K-$4.5K) and giving for that fresh smell which tenants arguable seem to love (from the various responses). 

It actually turned out they had genuine issues with their bank accounts being compromised.

If he questions the fact that he did not receive his year long longevity fee back I would likely compromise with him at that point.

I like that they appear to have worked out a compromise.
