Don't use air freshener spray or candles to mask the odor.

It’s easier to fix the irrigation system than the dead landscaping.”Either personally or with a flooring guy I’d try to cover up the scuffs with wax/polish/wood marker, I don’t think most new tenants would see or care.

,aerosol sprays and candles only replace the odor with a more pleasant odor, they do not remove the odor only masks it.

.- I even have policies like no candles, no open grease cooking, no fire pits within 20 feet of house, etc.

I'm sure I have bad toilet flanges & wax rings. 

.... actually forced entry by an angry ex-boyfriend - some of the wood trim had even been thrown into the bushes outside.)Smoke Detector Missing ("I don't know anything about it".... candle wax found in carpet nearby.)

I sent him certified mail of my intentions and actions according to our partnership agreement ( as there was a section just for partnership buy outs and dissolution of partnership ) He argued with me , said he didn’t understand why I was upset and didn’t trust him .. then wanted to try to negotiate the amount I felt I was due for the work I already did to that hoarder house and even questioned the hrs I listed ( which was already on our daily spreadsheets previously when I recorded them ) but , in the end .. he ponied up the amount I wax due .. it was pennies on the dollar really .. it’s not like i was looking for a $15hr job ..actually, I think I ended up with closer to $25k .. but still .. that house alone I was projected to make over $50k on my end ..Now .. as upset as I was with him .. cause I really didn’t understand why he would blow up our partnership like that .. according to him he didn’t need the money .. he wanted to start building his real estate empire instead of flipping them ..which I would have been ok with ..hell ..

The bid is for this, replacing the vinyl in the master bath, and for replacing both toilets and wax rings.

Dec 23 i get my plumber out there and it ends up being the wax ring and a missing bolt on the toilet on the main level toilet(floor was really wet) fast forward to yesterday i get a $341 water bill (3 months) from the city.

@David JorgensenI put one together with three different seller financed options when I was purchasing my candle business back in May.It really helped to show the seller the interest they will get, payment, and balloon payment.Our third option was a step up payment too so they saw that every 12 months we increase the monthly payment too and with our conversation we brought up inflation and that helped to show we were going to keep up with it too.
