Has anybody figured out a solution to this?

Hi Victoria,All of those individuals could hold the solution to your problem but may not necessarily offer budget friendly options as they have their own additional fees for such service.I would suggest speaking with a Carpenter or General Contractor who specializes in Kitchens and Baths as they can assist with the design and execution of the project.As far as some options that you have (without seeing you kitchen) you can refinish the cabinets to update the color, replace the cabinet doors to a modern style, or update the counter top and backsplash.

Kept the place clean though, and never complained about anything/bothered me.I made the decision to split up her rent payments.

The town also had few rentals available, and all the neighbors are homeowners utilizing landscapers to care for the lawns, all neatly mowed, edged, besides having spring cleaning, mulched, etc.

My main concern is that I would have to find local housekeeping and maintenance folks and coordinate cleanings/fixes between checkouts or if the guests have any concerns while they are there.

Hi Quy,It sounds like Ashley may have a couple solutions for you.  

I had one unit that we just cleaned up and put new appliances in and got $200 more in rent. 

You should talk to an attorney and clean up your lease.

No pet deposit but a clause to acknowledge any new damage caused by pet would be paid for by Tenant, like any other leasee, must clean up common areas of pet fur and usual pet clauses. 

With minor repairs/cleaning the property should get at least $200 more a month.
