If not just compose one based on your observations and hope that the former tenant accedes to it, some will, some won't.I used to have a room-by-room checklist which noted some of the following:Condition of walls and paintCondition of carpetCondition of doors and doorknobsCondition of ceilingCondition of light fixture and the bulb worksCondition of toilet, sink and tub in bathsCondition of stove, oven sink, garbage disposal and dishwasher in kitchenCondition of grass and shrubs.On the move out version I had a list of amounts that I was deducting, including but not limited to:Missing door stop (the move in one showed that there was one for EVERY door) $5.00Hole in wall from doorknob going through it (somehow in my 60 years on earth I've never destroyed a door stop or knocked a doorknob through a wall, but it's not hard to tenants) $75.Pooper scooping the yard $5.00 per pile.

They had first thought they had a burglar break into the home and destroy it, until they came across this guy in the tub.

Destroyed carpet and huge flea infestation.

In my opinion, that is cheaper than going to court, get tossed out, start over, all while he is destroying the property.

Interesting side notes-1) the two current tenants are longterm 4+ years, but are also not clean and tidy at all.2) there are several very nice houses in this neighborhood, but the one next door is condemned (in tax default), and a house a couple blocks over has been destroyed completely by fire.3) Comps of SF and MF homes are all over the place in the area and it's pretty much impossible to get comps on this type of unit even going back 2 years.Any suggestions on how I should factor the current tenants, neighborhood, comps or empty unit potential???

Martin describes, but we had the hardest time keeping Soldiers from destroying them in the military and those are supposed to be disciplined people that are under as much "control" as people will ever be.

I am currently owner occupying a triplex which when I purchased had a non rent paying hoarder living in it who had completely destroyed the place.

A real estate portfolio without a pot to piss in backing it up has destroyed plenty of individuals (no less nearly taking out our economy).

On gas, they charge roughly $60 for the hookup, since it's a gas line and they're slightly worried.The downside of electric is when their gas gets turned off for non payment, many tenants convert their stove to a furnace until they destroy it.

Even if the place is new, you must factor in repairs in case a renter destroys the place or something else happens that maybe insurance can't cover.
