I don't miss this stuff... when I had a rental property my last paying tenant was my brother, didn't end well and made me sell up!

I am just getting quotes for a lounge, master bedroom, small bedroom, galleried landing and stairs... if I get mine for twice that I will be happy!
Not down to the tenants though, just fair wear and tear.... but the missing blinds (x 3 in the porch), missing curtains (x1 room), random acts of weirdness, and the worst decorating ever definitely are! Of course they dispute it so I can now await them getting round to submitting the dispute (why should they rush?) or the 90 days passing - its only £1600 no problem....
Appreciate the betterment piece - I had decent decorated walls and now I have something you just cant leave so I consider all the decorating costs to be valid.....if they hadnt touched it I wouldnt charge them!
And yes, I might sell this time, but its still a decent return overall.... and the market will be dead post stamp duty holiday ending...
