tell her, "I'm paying this time but if it happens again, it's on your dime." the danger is she doesn't tell you at all and it causes further damage.on 2nd hand, I wouldn't say anything at all. thankfully, she called you.stickers and scratches on the wall are not a big deal. just wait until you REALLY have a tenant hard on a house. :)

And when that happens with this tenant, he'll be wanting to pick out new flooring on your dime.

You wont see a dime of the $$...So you have to ask yourself if the time, effort and some extra $$ are worth trying to make this issue possibly haunt this tenant in the future....show up when he tries to rent again, buy a house or a car etc.....For some the answer is YES.....I know the $$ is gone but I want to inflict some shred of accountability......if no one EVER does it, these clowns will keep doing it over and over.....someone has to at least try....For others, the answer is NO....its not worth my time and $$, let it go and move on....I understand the economics of the situation....but I hate to let people get away with ZERO accountability....that just contributes to many of the issues in our society

And best of luck trying to get a refund from them through Airbnb – unless you’ve extensively documented condition of items before and condition of items afterward, you’re not seeing a dime.

@Sue Kelly,Like any professionals - especially since all the other good jobs were shipped overseas - JDs are a dime-a-dozen.

I had great renters and became friends with most of them, I didn’t try to nickel and dime them and shared my internet.

You don't have to get in their faces and scream at them that they are losers - but you can firmly say, nope, go learn your life lessons on somebody else's dime.

I am a pet friendly landlord (pets on approval policy) but I don't do puppies or non house trained pets (prefer they get that training on someone else's property and dime).Some folks may have some hacks or strategies for this, but if you are not planning on refinishing the floors or flooring over them, it may not be a good fit.

Our government is out of control and grasping for every dime to keep themselves in cushy jobs with retirements paid for by taxpayers.

You probably won't see a dime in the near future.
