All depends on the lease - Further - good luck in court if you have a dispute  - 6 years for paint and carpet in a rental is likely past the economic life in a rental (regardless of when they started smoking).

You only have yourself to blame if your tenant doesn't do the right thing, or maintain your property well.I meant with my agent who owns a property in the high class suburbs of Atlanta, and he seems to having if not the same, but more issues with his suburban tenants with drugs, headaches and disputes, then another individual would have on section 8. 

You have no rights as a tenant to make any assessment on the value of your contribution and any portion of non payment can result in an eviction.What you do have is the right to stop doing the maintenance or apply through your state landlord/tenant dispute system for a rent rebate.You will need to read your state landlord tenant regulations to find out exactly what your rights are and how to claim as every state has different regulations.Rather than do that I advise tenants that are not happy to move.

I had this happen few years back, bought at courthouse steps, owner occupant said it was an unfair foreclosure and its in dispute. 

No YesDo you dispute any of the information on that tenant statement?

They are only used if there is a dispute.

My management company doesn’t dispute this fact.

Working for rent creates Sweat Equity and in a dispute, you run a foul of state employment regs. 

In MD, for instance, a tenant can sue for 3 x disputed amount, so unless it's a major issue, I find it not worth the risk.  

This are medical bills and most of the is disputed.
