Email her and tell her you will meet her at the property when she is TOTALLY out, and ready to give you the keys back right then when you meet. Get the keys FIRST, before you do any walk-thru. Then if you get into an argument, simply leave, and come back later in the next day or 2, to change locks. If there is more cleaning for her to do, or there are things which she needs to take, that she left behind, or damages that she needs to repair, you can leave the place unlocked for 2 days for her to do that. When you do your walk-thru, without the tenant, be honest, and only charge her for what is TRULY her responsibility. If she does take you to court, it's easier for you to win, if the judge believes you didn't try to screw her over.

As for the property manager, YOU hired that person. They are an "extention" of YOU. If they screw up, it's ultimately YOUR fault for hiring the wrong person.
