Complaints with a new renter; should i just say no?

Account Closed

Hello, I just rented out my first unit. The renter asked for a couple of maintenance works to be done upon moving. Some of those requests are legitimate, which will be fixed asap by my contractor but a couple of them seem not worth fixing. For example, she says some shelves in the kitchen are missing in cabinets and in the freezer and a handle is missing on a closet door. Do you think it is ok to let her know that even though I will fix any structural issues asap, I will not be adding shelves to the kitchen or handles to the closet door. What do you think? I don't want her to text me everytime a handle gets loose.

Everything you listed is 100% valid request by the tenant.  Fix them.  They are also all stupid cheap.
