So let them know if the vinyl flooring or whatever is damaged, that it's fair for them to pay to fix it.For a "long term" tenant I'd let them do it and I'd figure out someplace to store my refrigerator. 

One 2/1 is pending now with the same sq footage and floor plan, but on the top floor with vaulted ceiling (which makes the place feel bigger and gives much more sunlight). 

If something like that happens I am usually standing in some 3rd floor corner office to make things happen. 

Fresh and clean with large windows and great natural light with new carpet and paint, nice remodeled bathrooms, kitchen and finished basement with extra bedroom and bathroom.

@Kristin Kerr Let them know they can switch out lightbulbs and keep the place clean.

At current asking it is a slightly positive cash flow situation....I would have to go in, immediately be the bad guy and say look, clean all this up, here are the new rules, and your rent is going up too.
