my sweet innocent tenent never cleaned a thing in 9 months , she stained the carpet , it took 26 passes with a steam cleaner to get the carpet looking like new , she kicked a hole in the wall , these are just a few things , total 1,500 dollars worth of clean up and damages, she paid 400 for security deposit , do i send her a bill for the difference or do i have to eat the diff, i took pictures before she moved in and of all the damages after she moved out , :shock:

As a professional we are duty bound to advise our clients of the risks… So if you ask me will a lender enforce a Due on Sale clause?

Even more important I have a professional photographer take all of the photos.
