Evan Not intending to be too tough love on you,....but you are In the business of renting residential income property. You may have indeed over improved what you're renting And have unreasonable and unrealistic expectations for a tenants care and attention.
You need to emotionally remove yourself more from this.
Tenants are tenants because they don't want to do all that Homeowner stuff and or because they can't afford to buy.
Successful LLs rent bullet, idiot and animal proof properties with detail and amenities at the market they are in,.....with the expectation that when the tenant leaves, they can hose the place down, mop it out and turn it over fast.
No tenant is going to look after the property as you would.
The running joke about carpeting is that it has to be replaced as frequently as it does,....is because the last time it was vacuumed was when the landlord last prepped it for turnover to the departing tenant, when their tenancy started.
Straighten the place out and get it re rented. Be gracious and generous in your computation of charges to the departed tenant. You're not In the business of maximizing yield from security deposits or spending your time in court against a legal aid tenant lawyer.
