He can see an attorney, better later than never, to make sure he's out clean.

Who didnt clean the dishes?

We have a tenant whom we hire to do all our move out/in cleaning.

They'll complain about noise, other boarders not cleaning the kitchen, etc.

Carpet was new when the tenant moved in 21 years ago.I'm putting in new kitchen cabinets, new granite countertops, all new flooring, carpet replaced with hickory, a new window, and refinishing the walls and ceilings.Over the years I replaced all the other windows, replaced the electrical service and totally re-wired the place and replaced all the plumbing.The plan is I'm going to be keeping the place and will raise the rent with the new improvements.

Maybe they cleaned up their act a bit.

The deferred maintenance to the property includes, but is not limited to, roof damage/leaks/roof replacement ($4.5k), deck repair ($1.5k, gutter replacement ($1k), landscaping & tree work ($1k), carpet replacement ($500), and kitchen/bathroom repairs/upgrades ($3.5k).

Things such as knocking down walls, raising ceilings, framing, installing carpet/hardwoods/tiles, ect.?

Carpet was quoted at $2500, paints more of a preference and it needs a fridge (the last tenant who was evicted took off with it.)I was marketing it at $89k with room to move down.This is my first Lease Option contract.

Clean job sites and quality work.
