One of the other things my renters did was replace my lovely old oak front
door, with a cheaper metal one. . . .
The only 'problem' is the new door is white and my house is almond and
dark
brown exterior.

Have these renters left the country? A front door is a "fixture"
i.e. if it is removed the landlord can legally require that the
renters provide a replacement equal to what they removed.

A judge looked at my former tenant and told him he was getting his
deposit back, nor should he expect it. It was about a door change and
I was not advised of. I replaced his replacement, before I sold the
home...
