Does your lease state that the premises should be kept clean and orderly?

And no dont do pink tiles becasue that is what one person wants for their 7 year old daughter - that is too limiting.genrally people want clean and comfort and ease - so if one item is not going to look clean with usual wear get one that will (usually black shows the dirt, as does stainless) - an as has been said, the inexpensive touch ups like nice hardware, a better countertop finish that wears well are the things you will want - think back to your life as a renter to help.

IMHO anything other than a clean contract negates or nearly negates the premise we are operating under- which is a bird in hand is better than two in the bush.  

So I let her know it's part of the routine maintenance / cleaning schedule, would you do it annually thereafter?

Dog urine can be cleaned up but cat urine will ruin a house.

That said, what didn't pencil was the over-valued land price, the cost of running electric and water hookups for each of the houses over 40 acres, land-clearing and excavation, and the amount we anticipated people would be willing to pay per night extra for glorified camping.  

The money was conditioned on a checklist that I gave them prior to the close that detailed what the exact conditions of each of the requirements were, "broom-clean, free of debris, all seller-owned appliances left in good working order" etc.Many of the tenants, knowing that the bank would likely evict them in a few months anyway, were cooperative enough to leave the property in "not-horrible" condition.

Let's say you want me to climb a tall ladder to clean the gutters.
