treble damages only apply if you dont send them any move out statement. if you charge something that is later overturned just that amount is deducted.

I charge $30 for 1 gallon of paint, but no charge for repaint labor. I would charge if "unreasonable" amount of holes or wall damages.

I specifically call out that the tenant should NOT patch any holes. they usually F them up and ruin the wall forever.

BTW, best thing I ever did was make a move out cleaning list that is part of lease, spells out exactly what my idea of clean is and suggests cleaning products I know work. I promise them a unit in that condition and expect it back the same. (normal wear excluded)

basically EVERY hard surface cleaned - doors,cabinets, windows, sills, baseboard, floors...+carpets PROFFESIONALLY cleaned - no rental carpet cleaner machines. must leave receipt.
