Never again am I renting to someone who's leaving the country immediately after the lease period. Either that, or I'm treating them like everyone else when it comes to the rent deposit. Closing your checking account and getting your money converted is your problem, not mine. No more concessions. I tried to be nice. I did a pre-inspection before I left last weekend, gave her a list of what still needed to be cleaned, and gave her most of her deposit back, with the understanding she would take care of it. Did she take care of it? No, of course not. I understand that my definition of clean is probably different than a lot of people's understanding, but when I spell out and physically show her what needs to be cleaned, and what products will probably do the job, I expect at least 75% of my expectations. Needless to say, I gave back too much of the deposit. At least I have a week of tenant-free living to get things done, plus enjoying having my house to myself. Here's to no more elephant-feet, and hoping the next one is better!
