[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Learned the hard way: make sure they change the air filters regularly. I would buy the ones you use to have on hand. Know someone whose hvac system basically exploded when the air filters were never changed by the renters and it wasn’t spelled out who was responsible to do it.[/quote]

This and include running exhaust fan and that tenants are responsible for mold on caulk and grout. [/quote]

Mold, caulk and grout is the landlord's responsibility if it's anything beyond basic cleaning [/quote]

My DH rented a townhome with friends in Arlington when we were first dating. They were mid-20s guys but took good care of the place (had a housekeeper once a month, kept the kitchen and bathrooms clean, etc). On move-out they were charged $2k for recaulking both bathrooms and gutter clean-out. They were pissed but apparently landlords are allowed to charge for this? I told them they should fight it but they didn’t. IMO DC favors the tenant to an extreme degree, but VA does the same for landlords. [/quote]
