@Paul Moore is coming out with a Bigger Pockets published book about self storage. 

This book explains how to handle security deposits in CA:  https://store.nolo.com/products/the-california-landlords-law-book-lbrt.htmlThis is a pamphlet that used to be put out by the Department of consumer Affairs in CA (they quit publishing it a few years ago), that contains a section about what you can charge as far as painting, etc., based on life expectancy of things.https://www.achhd.org/documents/California-Tenants-Guide.pdfAs to the cupboards - normal wear and tear is when something happens with normal use over time.
