Picky Tenant Requests

My first rental property.

I screened tenants, thought I found one that would care for the property nicely - she is too picky though.

She always has many maintenance requests for things that are not necessarily necessary.

She pays on time, her only flaw is being picky (wanted a different toilet seat, wants rear lawn re-seeded, wants, wants, wants.... Now she's saying she's unhappy in the home (she thought she'd be happy) and blames unprofessional tradesmen sent by me to make repairs (they are licensed pros) and my slow response to maintenance requests.

One of my big complaints (and I've expressed it) is that part of my screening process is asking what they would change or want fixed about the home - she filled that space with something along the lines of, "it's perfect, I wouldn't change anything, I hope to move in."

I'm tired of dealing with her.

Maybe I don't really have a question, I just had to let this off my chest.

Does anyone have any experience with this type of tenant? Was anything able to make them "calm down"?

Thanks
