You will find a cleaner one for close to same price.Matt

I have used a mixture of vinegar cleaner to clean the carpet and get pet smells out and it may work for smoke smells as well.

He was a great painter/cleaner/yard guy, did great work and was CHEAP.

It was inexpensive carpet, but it is all documented, and he lost his deposit, plus is in the process of getting a judgment against him for the balance.A TRUE professional carpet cleaner MAY be able to salvage it for you, depends on the basic quality and age of the carpet.

And I mean telling everyone, your friends, neighbors, your dr's, dentists, dry cleaners... everyone!

They will get taken to the cleaners by bad PMs.It will, however help the tenant who's in a house that's getting foreclosed.

TurnoverBnb looks like a good platform but only 1 cleaner in the area and I googled her and she has a criminal history. 

I wonder if I should use odor sealing paint, cleaner or lay something on the floor before installing carpets and vinyl flooring?

Does anyone have referrals for property managers, handymen, plumbers, electricians, lawnmowers, turn-over cleaners, window installers, roofers....you get the idea! 

Vacant at closing is definitely cleaner, then again if you already know the guy takes care of his place and he'll agree to market rent you could be booting someone who has potential to be a good long term tenant.
