Very hard to clean all the cat hair and dander after a cat owner has moved out.

That may well prove to be a more fruitful proposition than trying to sell a house with an uncooperative tenant, and dog hair.

It's my opinion, that by the time you pay fees and higher maintenance costs associated with a PMC, you could make a better profit if you buy close to home and manage it yourself.Most property management companies are not going to ask your tenant, by the way, if the reason the breaker keeps tripping is because they have 50 hair dryers plugged in at the same time, and then just tell them not to do that.What they will probably do, is send someone out to the property (and charge you for it) then charge you for a new electrical box that can handle plugging in 50 hair dryers in at the same time (and then charge you for having their guy do it, and a supervision fee, etc.).I don't see how anybody makes much profit if they have to hire a PMC.  

The sterotype for somebody who didn't have a car payment when they came in was someone with gray hair, they would own their car and pay cash and were sensible about the new car, or somebody who was driving a rat car that they owned for 20 years. 

Or what about all the pet hair on clothes/furniture.  

My 2 cents are to raise the rents a hair.  

And/or market it as a great unit for people allergic to pet hair :-)

Candle wax on fireplace: scrape up the big stuff, use a hair dryer or heat gun with something absorbent to wick up the rest, or use a wax dissolver such as mineral spirits.Personally, I wouldn't see any of this as something I would try to collect.

He'll either reprioritize where his money goes and the problem will go away or you'll soon have a solid eviction case and he'll be out of your hair.

Someone may have lost weight, gained weight, changed hair color, gotten eyeglasses or contacts, etc.
