Hello Brian and Bretney, I just wanted to shed some light on this deal so you understand why it is structured like this.

Light colors and finishes have been shown to hold their value along with simple hardware and fixtures that are not overly trendy.

Anyway you look at it, house flipping is a rewarding, but demanding, endeavor—not to be undertaken lightly.

If they screwed us around, didn't pay last months rent, or left the place incredibly dirty, broken blinds, burnt out bulbs, didn't get moved out in time etc   Then we might be a little more strict on keys.We are strict with light bulbs and blinds. 

Anything more I keep for the next one or return for a refund. inhave had extra flooring, tiles, paint, cabinet hardware, lighting (cans), mulch, etc. it sits in my garage/she's ready for the next house.

The lights in the home are on but no one will come to the door.

Common areas that tenants miss are parts of the range and range hood, the far reaches inside cupboards, ceiling light globes, inside the furnace and hot water heater closets and the heat ducts (take of the heat registers/grilles and see what has dropped into the duct).Read the information in this link:http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/new-jersey-...It will give you some insight on how the landlord should have approached the itemization and return of the security deposit in New Jersey.

Handle any problems with the front desk from long distance likely late at night or really early. 2.

@David Wong I just use a note pad and a calculator on my desk.
