You can let them know that your goal is to get it rented ASAP and that will get them off the hook for added rent when it vacant....so their cooperation would be greatly beneficial to both sidesIf its a good tenant and they are leaving for a reasonable cause, I try not to be too harsh.....make arrangements to get it ready to go ASAP and move on...

He simply stated that these were pass through expenses or damages incurred by us.

She has been a decent tenant, and I'm not expecting any damage or cleaining fee.

As you probably can guess, this has caused me quite a headache.

Hope you can give me some input/guidance.Tenants caused all kinds of damages to my property. 1)Tenants turned down the temperature when the December weather was yo yo (high and low) last year, forgot to turn back up the thermostat and went on Christmas vacation.

You need some money, not a property that causes you to work for free. 

But then again if there is a big tree leaning over that brand new roof, or if you often get significant hailstorms and the like then the equation may change and you would want to be setting aside more for expectable damages/treatments. 

Hourly and daily post end of term charges are "liquidated damages" where it is difficult for the parties to agree upfront what the cost will be. 

why not a tank w/ warranty then you don't have to deal w/ it and let the tenants call in and get it fixed.... tankless seems like you're paying a premium for something that could just cause more headache (from breaking to tenant complaints etc). 

I used to be like that and I got involved in a flip 4 years ago that didn't go the way it was "supposed" to go and was financially damaging.
