Some evidence of discoloration on gypsum wallboard surfaces does occasionally occur when furnishings (bed, dresser, or other furniture) are located along a perimeter wall.

i want to charge them $100 to clean it and they think it's "normal wear and tear". what's so normal about having the carpet dark in the areas where furniture was not present?

Do they have personal property, furniture, car, truck, boat, guns anything of value?

I have a lease that makes requirements; no inoperable vehicles or machinery, trash carts returned within 24 hours, no furniture or other items left outside unless designed for outdoor use, lawns kept in like manner of other surrounding properties...etc.

,Does your photographer get the seller to rent furniture when staging or use the existing furniture?

I might go there in a commercial lease, if available, where a piece of machinery could be siezed, but I'd never go in a residential property and get a TV or furniture!

Imagine moving large furniture into those 2nd fl apts?

Or I could get good at staging myself and just relocate their furniture to show better.Still, with a risk/reward ratio of about 7, it is still looking good to me.

When she and her two housemates moved in, there was furniture already present (the place was rented unfurnished), left by the previous tenants.The landlord is now refusing to return the deposit, claiming that the cost of moving out the furniture (which was present when they moved in, and they left when they moved out) exceeds the amount of the deposit ($1550).

I think you would have better luck with the investor that is doing rehabs and has no furniture etc.
