Wait...so you're going to leave a black sink, black stove and stainless microwave/fridge along with that God awful tile in the kitchen?  

People staying at a place they don't want to stay are more likely to kick doors, slam fridges, drag a chair across the beautiful hardwood floor, you get the idea.Plus, these people are messy if you can smell their pet in the house.

The carpet was stained like someone walked around spilling who knows what and never bothered to wash it up, very dirty dirty walls, black water in the toilet, screens busted out of the screen doors, the fridge was new but you about died when you opened it from the smell of rotting food...you get the picture.

This means it will be on time and when it comes to the move out is is typically the parents scrubbing the fridge and oven and making any necessary repairs to get the deposit back.

She also explained that the brand new fridge isn't working, so I've ordered repair service for that but dang, what a predicament; damned if I do in a way, but damned if I don't!

Expanding on that: Can I separate some of the fix up costs like flooring, the new hot water heater, the new fridge, etc and make each of these separate assets for their own depreciation.

The doorway project was completed November 12 and the new fridge was delivered the same day.

So I would guess that a lot of land lords like me scour craigslist trying to get things 50% of new / retail.But Craigslist can be a bit dodgy.Just the other day when i was trying to source just the right sized fridge, I found an older lady on Craigslist who had such a fridge that she was unloading from an estate from her recently deceased mother.

Like a lot of you, I troll craigslist for extra fridges, stoves, etc and when a good deal comes up on tile, doors, or normal things I go through a lot, I stock up on them.
