Are my tenants high maintenance or am I crazy?
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?
