We also have our cleaning crew check all doors and windows to make sure they are locked during turn overs.

They were clean, neutral colored walls with black appliances in one unit, and white in the other.  

We're hoping to salvage the appliances and perhaps replace them after the next tenant but that all depends on how clean we can get them.I've yet to come up with a simple landscape plan (not my strength) so if anyone has any great ideas, we're open to hearing them.The house was built as a 2/1 and at some point (I believe in the 80's), the garage was converted to another bedroom/living room with a fireplace. 

If they were to be responsible for damage, you would then be able to first lean on their coverage to pay for damages before having to rely on your own coverage, keeping your claims history clean.  

The previous tenant had it cleaned but it's still bad. 

To clean the rift raft out.

We did a holdback of several thousand to cover rent, eviction and cleaning as she was a borderline hoarder.She stayed for 5 weeks and our holdback wasn't enough. 

We’re getting it cleaned up and I am off to Home Depot tomorrow to get another new washer!

Can I get out of my contract easily? Is there a way?

A daily rental manager needs to provide some sort of reservation service (preferably it includes an online presence), physically inspect and clean the property each day as your renters check in and out, and provide a linen exchange and laundry service for the sheets, towels, etc.
