If you really have to get down to it, do an inspection and focus on the food on the floor and countertops and tell them  its not your problem until they learn to clean up after themselves.

For example, one had high end granite slab countertops and the other had cheap granite tile.

Yeah if you cut the power as mentioned they do the candles and wax thing all over the place not to mention it could start a fire and burn your place down.The carpet will need replacing as well as the burnt counter tops if you have the laminate stuff.

You will find that your renovation cost will sky rocket because your will always want the better tile, stove top, counter top. and if you can afford it why not after all it is you home.

Cararra marble is an example of this for counter tops. 

I plan on replacing countertops with granite, but am thinking about leaving the cabinets as they are.

Now, I dont install new dishwashers or upgrade to granite countertops, but for what I call the The Coziness Factor, when I newly renovate a property I spend extra on - nice paint on the walls, tile/laminate, nice light fixtures (cheap), and new appliances.

I'm here putting a counter top on but it seems like the day is dragging, There isn't any other contractors here today.

All about how to evict and how renters deserve concrete floors and counter tops because they will destroy them anyway - investors do not even appreciate the hardworking families that make them rich.Investors take the labor and wages of the poor and disadvantaged to make themselves rich.
