Are my tenants high maintenance or am I crazy?

[Chris Young]

My tenants moved into my SFR built in 1923 in Pasadena, CA on January 1. In the lease it states they accept the property "as-is", but so far in the first 10 days they've made complaints about:

-Hot Water taking too long to get to bathroom faucet

-Small rips and holes in window screens

-Torn crawl space vent (they said they were sure a cat was living under the house which was determined to not be true”

-lumber scraps behind the shed

-fireplace tiles that were loose

-outlet cover missing

-water pressure low from the showerhead

-heater not working correctly

Now there is another complaint about the shower bath faucet having a small leak and they want the whole thing replaced. This is my first rental property and man hear first two weeks have been a lot of lessons learned. The heater was a legit issue that we got resolved within a day, and I’ve taken care of a few others but it seems to me like they’re being really nit picky? I want to keep them happy and I don’t want to be a bad property manager/landlord. Maybe this is my fault for not being more detailed when getting my property ready to rent?

I hate to say it, but all of those things sound like valid complaints to me other than the time for hot water to travel. All of them should be easy to fix or at least look into.
