You don’t charge tenants for damage

Make sure that you state in your lease that tenants are responsible for damage(s) done by them or their guests. I give my tenants a list of common damages and what the charges are to repair them (e.g., a small hole in the wall: $60; broken window: $80). Unpaid damages become unpaid rent. If the rent is not paid, you should begin eviction. If you won’t do it for yourself, do it for others. If you don’t charge tenants for damages, they will think that they can break things and not be held responsible when they move into the next property. Put every repair bid in writing. Know exactly
what will be done, what will be included, and what will not. Every material should be listed.
