I would make this decision purely based off the numbers.When washing machines don't increase the rent, I always recommend getting rid of them. 

With 5 children to wash dishes for, I feel like I'm living in the kitchen to keep everything clean and the cockroaches in check.

My friend said she'd like to wash the mold off the ceiling first, and he told her it wasn't necessary, and he painted over it anyway. 

Was he a good landlord?  

Not only inside, but outside - landscaping, power washing, painting, etc.I would communicate with them myself.  

I've had the carpets cleaned twice, replaced the washing machine, rewired the dryer, replaced light fixtures, hired pest control services, replaced blinds, realigned door frames, and had multiple calls out to plumbers (some of them frivolous).  

Emails such as an announcement that on this day and time the washer is being replaced and plan on no washing in the morning, or that day there will be pressure washing of the driveway between 9am-11am please move your vehicle etc...and Jack in the past always respond with a quick thank you for letting us know reply.I never asked Jill where Jack is. 

Maybe go wash their cars?

At first they said they only use the dryer and wash at the laundry mat...then they said they have only used it twice. 

Reasonable cleaning costs would include the cost of such things as eliminating flea infestations left by the tenant's animals, cleaning the oven, removing decals from walls, removing mildew in bathrooms, defrosting the refrigerator, or washing the kitchen floor.
