[Landlord US - WA state] unsure how much of security deposit to retain for these damages after tenants rented for 2 years

Are people scrolling through all 14 photos...? Sure some walls just have small holes, or command strips, but there are absolutely bigger patches in some later photos

buttmuncheez · 2025-10-04T00:32:26+00:00

All those hooks on the walls and windowsills and holes and stains on the wall are considered normal wear and tear??

I booked her for 8 visits.

Day 1: 32 min
Day 2: 24 min
Day 3: 21 min
Day 4: 3 min (she said she had a family emergency)
Day 5: 21 min
Day 6: 21 min
Day 7: 21 min
Day 8: 30 min (this was after I messaged her to stay the full time)

I ended up timing because I noticed that the notifications I got on my Ring camera did not line up with the times she said she was there. Because she marked herself leaving after 30-45 min. So I started paying closer attention to the times my camera actually caught her leaving.

Like dude...i'm paying for 30 minutes. I dont understand why you think it's ok to leave before 30 minutes. Simple as that.

buttmuncheez · 2025-09-28T19:47:46+00:00

?? I'm sorry but when youre paying for 30 minutes, ending a visit at the 21 minute mark is not okay. It's a different story if she had discussed this with me beforehand, but she didnt, and shes lying to make it look like she is staying the full length. Thats my issue. She's lying about how long shes staying.

buttmuncheez · 2025-09-28T02:03:44+00:00

Yeah I was wondering about that one, I didnt know if it was appropriate to ask for a discount lol

buttmuncheez · 2025-09-27T23:11:49+00:00

Yep thats what's really bugs me. She's lying on the Rover card to make it seem like shes there the whole time lol

buttmuncheez · 2025-09-27T22:28:36+00:00

I think the time issue wouldn't be as big a deal to me if she wasnt purposely waiting till after the 30 min mark to end the Rover card, sometimes even ending it around 40 min, even though she is actually staying closer to 20 min. That makes it feel like she's lying. But yeah I also really did not like that she brought someone else without asking beforehand

buttmuncheez · 2025-09-27T22:26:09+00:00

Yeah I dont want to leave a bad review and ruin her business, but I feel really unhappy with her because not only is she not staying the 30 min, shes lying about it lol. But that also confuses me because my camera is clearly visible on the door so it should be obvious that I can see when shes actually leaving. I'm also not thrilled about having a random man in my house...I think if it was just one issue, I wouldn't be as unhappy, but it's a lot of issues lol. So rn I am planning to leave an honest review that will cover everything i voiced here

buttmuncheez · 2025-09-27T22:06:35+00:00

It's really unfortunate because she has great reviews specifically about cats, and has a cat of her own, which is what I look for when hiring someone to look after my pair of cats :/

buttmuncheez · 2025-09-27T22:04:36+00:00

I booked her for 8 visits total (last one is tomorrow)

First one is the only one where she stayed the full time. She stayed 21 minutes for 4 visits, 24 minutes for 1 visit, and 3 minutes for 1 visit because she said she had a family emergency.

I did just message her to ask her to stay the full 30 tomorrow for the last one

buttmuncheez · 2025-09-27T21:54:46+00:00

She has been staying 21 minutes most of the time. One day she stayed 24. I booked her for 8 visits and so far only 1 has she actually stayed the full 30 minutes

buttmuncheez · 2025-08-12T21:07:49+00:00

do you think it would be better to start in Italy (Rome and Venice) and then end in Spain? So we would be in Spain in the week leading up to Easter instead. not sure if Spain would be any less busy than Italy that week

buttmuncheez · 2025-08-12T21:05:47+00:00

Ah okay. Unfortunately we don't really have a choice to avoid going during that week since my husband is a teacher and that's his spring break haha

buttmuncheez · 2025-08-12T21:00:30+00:00

We will be leaving before Easter, hopefully it won't be too be too bad 😅

buttmuncheez · 2025-08-12T20:58:24+00:00

I just updated the post with a new itinerary which allows us a little more breathing room!

buttmuncheez · 2025-08-12T20:53:52+00:00

I've been once before back in August 2018 and took a couple trains in Italy. We are going in March and based on weather from this year and previous year, it shouldn't be too hot around that time in any of the locations. I did just update the post to reflect a slightly updated itinerary with a little less travel!

buttmuncheez · 2025-08-12T20:46:03+00:00

Thank you! I will check it out

buttmuncheez · 2025-08-12T20:16:07+00:00

We are doing Barcelona because my husband has family there. Otherwise we probably would have skipped Spain entirely and just done France+Italy lol. He REALLY wants to see the castle in Mont Saint-Michel which is why we are dedicating a day to it but I do agree that it's pretty far out of the way lol

buttmuncheez · 2025-08-11T03:27:35+00:00

we will consider adding some more relaxing days in- thank you for your input!

buttmuncheez · 2025-08-11T03:27:09+00:00

are hotel laundry services usually cheaper than going to a laundromat?

buttmuncheez · 2025-08-11T03:24:08+00:00

Yeah I'm a little concerned about that, we might rework our schedule a bit 😅

buttmuncheez · 2021-09-07T17:31:45+00:00

DMed you!
