Hi. How do you determine normal wear and tear if a Tenant has lived at the property for over 33 years? Never wore shoes in the house, no pets, no smoking what would they have to clean I don't expect they would have to clean the carpets, blinds, etc. California
wonder about small screw holes about 3/16 that you patch before you go. i’ve never had an issue in the 6 apartments i’ve rented before i bought my house. i’ve always got my full security, but I was military and I also was very clean and kept things nice. I also made sure the place was reset and immaculate. i’d follow any list if management provided it and went above and beyond. i’d patch holes as small as thumbtacks, but I didn’t paint any patches bc I didn’t know the color. never an issue in any state I lived in, though my last apartment was a decade ago so what do I know!!? lol
It's interesting to learn about the useful life expectancy of various items in a rental property. It's important to keep this in mind when determining what constitutes normal wear and tear versus tenant damages.
Take pictures of your apartment before you run it out and then take pictures.Afternoon I was around lord twenty two years no but new jersey tennis don't respect your property
My landlord charged me for basic cleaning like dust and crumbs in the kitchen drawers. Here is his list. Cleaning: Various areas have dirt, debris, and/or residue that needs to be cleaned: - Surfaces: Window boxes in the basement, laundry room shelf, hardware in sinks, basement bathtub, kitchen cabinet doors and shelves, various closet shelves. - Floors: Stairwells, attic carpet. As a reminder, the lease agreement contains the provision that carpets are to have been professionally cleaned and a copy of the receipt provided to Property Manager. - Appliances: Stove hood filter, bottom oven broiler drawer, clothes washer interior rim. - Windows, window sills, frames, and window blinds. This isn't legit right?
As a tenant, I always leave my deposit with the landlord. Especially if the landlord was always curteous and kind to me. I understand that a property tends to deteriorate as time goes on and I never mind if they keep it for whatever they need to fix. It helps leave things in peace between one another and you will always be considered back if you ever need to rent again. Now this is not geared toward apartment leases, but rather studio homes for landlords renting their own homes out and such to make ends meet.
I left my deposit with my landlord, now she is trying to sue me for a stained bathtub. Showed the picture to my lawyer and he laughed at her and said sue us
Overall, this was a very helpful and informative video. I appreciate the clarity and detail provided on the difference between normal wear and tear and excessive tenant damages.
This video was incredibly informative and helpful! I've always struggled to understand the difference between normal wear and tear and tenant damages, but this video cleared it up for me.
This video highlights the importance of having clear lease agreement clauses that outline what constitutes normal wear and tear and what will result in tenant damages. It's definitely something to keep in mind when drafting lease agreements.
The examples provided in this video really helped me understand the difference between normal wear and tear and excessive tenant damages. I'll definitely be keeping them in mind for future reference.
This video provided some great tips on how to avoid security deposit disputes by properly distinguishing between normal wear and tear and tenant damages.
As a landlord, I found this video to be very useful. It's important to know how to distinguish between normal wear and tear and tenant damages, especially when it comes to security deposit disputes.
This video provided a great overview of the difference between normal wear and tear and excessive tenant damages. It's definitely something that every landlord should be familiar with.
I appreciate the emphasis on the importance of tenant screening. It's crucial to find responsible tenants who will take care of the property and minimize damages.
The section on the importance of security deposits was spot on. Security deposits can often be a point of contention between landlords and tenants, so it's important to have a clear understanding of their purpose.
In my state, Massachusetts, if a tenant has rented the apartment for over 10 years, all damage is considered 'normal wear and tear'. Different states have different cleaning standards. In Massachusetts, when a tenant moves out, the unit has to be 'swept clean' (that is swept with a broom), unless otherwise mutually agreed upon. I moved out of an apartment I had rented for 18 years and my landlord told me not to bother, for he was going to completely renovate the apartment. We also mutually agreed upon an earlier move-out date,. I was scheduled to move out December 30. If I could move out by December 15, he would forgo the last month's rent. He wanted to get the renovation booked and paid for, for tax reasons, so the sooner I was gone, the better it was for him... and me, too.

Can I charge for cleaning if they left fleas and I had to have them treated and re cleaned ?

The section on carpet cleaning was especially helpful. It's good to know when carpet cleaning is considered routine maintenance versus tenant damage.
