Background: I own a studio that I only rent month-to-month. It's a family property, I'm a doctor and can't deal with frequent turnover. My previous tenant stayed for 4 months and long story short, begged me to stay until the night before the next guests arrived. The cleaner came, did her job, didn't notice anything off. I was working a 12 hour shift and didn't get to inspect the place as I usually do. Well, the new tenants got there for a 1 month stay and found: a splintered accordion pocket door from the 70's, a broken dresser shelf, a non-draining kitchen sink, and a trash pullout that was falling off the hinges. I'm horrified. I got the handyman out to fix most of these things the next day but I feel they are owed some compensation on rent for the trouble. How much would you all comp these guests? The cleaning fee? More? I'm super embarrassed about the whole thing.
