One approach I've seen work well is to let the tenant know that there are appliances in the house that they are welcome to use, or you can remove them if the tenant doesn't want them there, but that you will not be "providing" appliances.

If you do not do this you will end up with gouges.Sand the edges, then the field, then vacuum, then move to next higher grit.The 20 or 40 grit is for stain removal, and leveling.

Our lease holds all accountable jointly and severally, so until its a breach situation, CC everybody with clarification of what will happen if the rent is not paid, then leave it at that.I also schedule an inspection of the property.Holes "magically" appear in the wall when angry people live together, and cleaning/trash removal can become a game of who can ignore more.

If someone tries to buy this house they would have to remove the existing occupant.

Still, there's so much untapped potential.We just removed the 7 diseased Cypress trees, and would like to incorporate drought tolerant (grasses/flax/queen palms etc...).
