It smells like smoke....It was previously an apartment with animals and and a smoker.

It is important to set the condition at the start of each lease, with date-stamped photos, in case there is any doubt or dispute.Also, professional cleaners will be able to tell you if they see animal urine (black light) or recommended stain treatments/etc. and it was declined.

The property is only about 10 years old and generally seems to be in good shape; minimal improvements would be needed outside of a fresh coat of paint, carpet in common areas and landscaping.

If you're looking for the quickest fixes that will make it most marketable, I'd say a fresh coat of paint and some new floors!  

With STR being a newer animal for places that haven't traditionally been resort areas, municipalities are trying to figure out how to deal with them.

To be fair it was a 3k sf house with very bright paint colors that required multiple coat's but the 1st guy didnt even give me a bid becuase it was too small of a job and the 2nd guy was 14k plus 5k for carpet for lowes theres 20k right there.  

Paint won't do it without a shellac based primer coat first.

The animal is causing wear and tear to your property, not the property manager’s.

but then again Texas is another animal LOL

Starbucks they tend to go up 10% every 5 years but it's almost guaranteed money from corporate.Different animals.
