Instead of a place that smells clean and like fresh paint.  

Covered patio to sit in the fresh air with some grass and flowers and talk.

I'd do a bit of staging and take fresh pictures like you plan.  

You have a perfect opportunity to start fresh with screening tenants A LOT better.

And a few years after this applicant was accepted as my tenant, I checked the eviction records where the false name match happened; lo and behold, a fresh eviction pops up for the same name and that happened while this person was my tenant.

And this BK is still fresh.  

For example, in Cali, to collect a late fee, you must provide a separate  three day cure or quit notice and cannot tack a late fee onto the pay or quit notice for late rent.If the tenant is on a month to month and paying late seems to be a pattern, consider giving tenant notice to not renew the tenancy and start with someone fresh.

The home is otherwise "rent ready" with  fresh paint, tiled floors, and relatively updated kitchens.
