We have had to complete evictions and clean up after tenants more than expected.

This even extends to situations where you send a contractor to do one job, and the site mgr has them do additional work that doesn't show up on the invoice.Hire a small vendor to perform regular cleaning, and make sure your House Rules have something about how tenants are to handle their regular trash daily (bagged and tied, nothing left outside of the receptacle) as well as in common areas (clean up spills, use proper receptacle) ....and an appropriate fine system to change behavior.A camera system with remote access and at least two weeks of continuously saved recordings is by far the best, and only way, to keep MULTIPLE eyes on your property and see what really is taking place, and who is responsible, even after the fact.

He too thought it was our responsibility, and blamed US for a decision he made, and wanted us to clean up his mess.

I was a long haul driver until April 2015, my wife had a stroke and I had to be off work and take care of home with money depleting fast and on our way to homeless status its a all in moment.

I might be shooting myself in the foot tenant wise but this would really help cleanup the depressed areas.

They will not treat it as theirs, and I'd expect to have to spend some rehab and cleanup once they vacate.With STR, I've had the following bookings (not yet completed or paid, only booked)Mar-Apr         $3,405Apr-May         $1079May-Jun          $4260Jun-Jul             $5583This is NOT what I've been paid these months, but these are gross numbers that were easy to compile.My expenses are all of the utilities, cleaning, and MY TIME for managing all this.Utilities average $400/monthcleaning cost about $300/monthsupplies cost about $50/monthinsurance cost about $100/monthI spend several hours a month writing reviews, researching strategy, fixing stuff, etcOther expenses are maybe another 10%I'm still setting up the business formally, and am probably forgetting some things right now.For me, this is a good return on my investment. 

Although I have never worked as a contractor, through various DIY projects My current skills include anything from landscaping, painting, drywall, siding, windows, trim, cabinet work, decks, minor electrical, minor plumbing, roofing and most any kind of cleanup.

During previous inspections by both us and the section 8 folks he was told to clean up his act. 

If you have carpet you run the risk of urine on it but some sort of plank or hardwood is easy to clean up.
