Downloading, filling out, serving RTB-10 forms a lot of admin time that can be spent on putting the place back in the market. After all OP has deposit + first months rent.
my 0.02. Would like to hear if there is anything wrong with my process.

I totally get where you are coming from..and dude, it goes through my head all the time, do I REALLY want this.
Because its a pain in the ass. It really can be.
BUT. It's a pain in everyone's ass. I like to think I'm reasonable with people. I genuinely do. Some tenants agree with me, and some do not. A lot agree on principle, until they see what things cost and then think I'm being unreasonable. At this point, I say fuck it, its not my job to hand hold people through life.
My point is, I'm not one of those guys that think the way to make easy money is hold back the damage deposit for bullshit items and gouge people. i want me, and the owners to be made whole. That's it.
But I think there are a lot of people that don't think the effort is worth it,and let the tenants walk. And if I let them walk, then they get away with it, and will do it again. Or have done it before.
Plus..some tenants are just assholes. Just the same as I'm sure some landlords are. And after I've had a bad day, or a few other tenants got away with it, and they do, I sometimes like to ruin the day of some asshole tenant that had it coming. And I think that when I pay my $50 to the branch to hear my case.
