Sometimes it’s hard to be objective when tenants don’t keep the house exactly as you would, even though they may be considered good tenants by most people, try to look past the dust.
Generally periodic inspections are conducted after the first 3 months of a tenancy then 6 monthly thereafter, in which case written notice must be given to your tenant on each occasion.
