Examples of letters / notification of Excessive Damage that I can use as a reference when writing the one to my past tenant 

Damages far exceeding deposit 

Just looking for a standard format to follow

Thanks

Can not wait to see what everyone say as I am considering the same.

I am putting together a well documented listing of all of damages caused by the renter along with photos.  Which will far exceed the damage deposit.

How long do I need to hold onto these records.  

How long does the renter have to dispute either the damages listed or the cost for the repairs.

Just wondering how long I might have to deal with this person...

thanks

Cleaning us the mess that the last tenant left and was wondering was is a reasonable rate for a cleaning service to do this cleaning for me.

Thanks

SHE IS GONE --  Can not tell you how good it feels to say that....

just got through the same type of situation.  Get rid of them as soon as possible. 

Do not try to be a good guy or gal.

They will hurt you on the end..

Thanks

I understand all the comments - I was just wondering if there was any precedent for charging for holding over.

Why can they stay over without any real cost while we can not rent it for the next month as we do not know it they will be gone.  If I did have someone lined up and they stayed longer what would happen to the new tenants?

Thanks for the comments

Thanks everyone for your input and suggestions..

Have a deposit but assume will go over that amount.

Since she stayed past midnight - is she required - can I charge - her for the additional time.

Actual time - two hours or additional months rent - she was present in April ?

First of all - SHE IS GONE.......

My tenant was given a notice to vacate by Mar 31 11:59 PM

Tenant provided the court a Notice to Move by Mar 31 11:59 PM on March 1

The tenant did not get out by that time - she was there an extra hour or so.

She set the temperature to 85, opened the windows and left - discovered it the next morning.

Left holes in all bedrooms and a hole 2 ft by 1 foot in the hallway and trash everywhere.  

Took 6 people 3 hours just to get rid of all the trash and shop vac the floors.

Already getting estimates for the damage repair - holes

Stove not repairable or salvageable - looks like fire inside and up the front burnt handle and controls.  

Refrigerator is also not useable.  Door shelves broken off.

Can I charge her anything for still being present in the rental as she went into the next month.

actually this is 2 items

A travel trailer

A separate fish house

Sorry for the confusion
