No major damages, but all kinds of stuff, random people living there, that werent authorized, carpet, stains, and cleaning needed at the least.By the time the tenant moves out, they will owe me about 1300 in rent/late fees.I have a 1k security deposit, that I will be keeping.Considering it is always hard to recover money from tenants, especially degenerate ones, would it make sense, to offer to the tenant, if the place is cleaned, the keys and garage door opener is left, and all stuff is removed, and you are out by the 21st per the judges order(not by a sheriff the next day) that I will drop the damages hearing?

On the other hand, if the tenant cleans up after the cats, keeps the very packed unit relatively clean AND pays rent on time, then I wouldn't get overly worried.

I guess I could always put in CHEAP but decent looking carpet that may only last 3-5 years. 

I am looking at a property on auction.com. it is an "occupied property" I have done the title work and it looks like I will get a clean title with the exception of the occupied status.There is clearly no one living there.

You lose 2 months rent let's say at 800 a month to carpet, paint and get your higher rents of 100 a month but have to put 2,500 into new condition for a tenant then you are at 4,100 in costs.

I have found that most people that I meet that still own their homes work really hard to keep their neighborhood clean.  

The third one could be rented out, but I asked him to let me fill it with a tenant so I could do some minor repairs in the house (new carpet, fix some cracked tile, minor stuff he overlooks).

The title company will not issue a clean owners title policy without the taxes being current.  

That means 8 roofs, 8 foundations, 8 interior units that need painting, 8 exteriors that need painting, 8 units that might need carpet/vinyl/tile, 8 hot water heaters or a single boiler, 8 AC or evaporative coolers (if there are coolers, have there been leaks?)

Clean the carpets and its ready to rent.
