Be prepared for total repaint and professional carpet cleaning to remove smoke smell.

So I have a rental property that needed it's fence repainted.

If it were me, I would proceed with some gradual increases, and maybe pair that with some niceties - i.e. address some maintenance the previous landlord was deferring, a fresh repaint of a room or two, etc.

Could I get away with not re-painting the cabinets and just do new bronze cabinet pulls and new laminate?

The bathroom has a new window and was repainted just last year.Looking into eviction law here in California I see that I can go straight to filing and not bother with any other notices, since the tenancy expired with the expiration of the lease....anybody have experience with this ?

The cabinets are in very good condition for their age and I am looking at updating them by possibly repainting or staining.They definitely do have an aged look which will be hard to overcome and I've looked up some ideas online but haven't found cabinets with the same shape.

If it cost $1,000 to re-paint clean etc. and was vacant five weeks, it was well worth it to lower their rent by $50 a month for two years (1,200 cost) to avoid the cost and hassels.

However, they repainted my living room, dining room, first bedroom, and damaged my master bedroom.

So far we have ripped out the green laminate flooring and old, dingy carpets, replaced it with LVP, got rid of the wallpaper and repainted.

I normally repaint the place after tenant moveout, and nowadays I use professional painters.
