If you have to do a lot of cleaning, then charge for it but be reasonable.Dishwasher..... unless the damage is very evident and pretty bad and its VERY evident that if the tenant had notified you earlier the damage would have been more limited,, the court will likely side with the tenant if they fight it...... proving the tenant was negligent in not notifying you is a tough thing to do.... up to you if you want to fight that battle.Some advice I've gotten for those "gray" areas on deductions...... if its gray, charge for it, but be reasonable..... if they fight it, then push back a little with your justification for the charge, but don't make it a battle....if they keep pushing hard, let it go and move on....not worth the fight unless you are talking big $$
