My friend who is first time landloard took over an tenant and got a long email from tenant FWD to me. Does she sound like a trouble tenant from the email? And any of those thing she describe is need to be fixed? The lease she took over say rent as it is. I personally would hate if someone email me such a long list of small things . After, moving in physically we noticed a few broken issues existing in the apartment and they are as follows:1) The kitchen has a cracked threshold in the entrance on two places and it is moving.2) Some of the cabinet doors in the kitchen are broken.3) The first closet door from the entrance is off its hinges and has to be closed forcibly. The second closet door does not close, the door knob is defective. 4) The wooden flooring all around the apartment had several cracks and niches more distinctly at the entrance area. 5) The ceiling has a crack running through right across the fan.6) The TV Mounting rod from ceiling was turning out to be a hindrance and a lethal weapon. We banged into it on several occasions and so requested the Super of the building to take it down. The super yanked it out of the ceiling and kept it in his custody.7) The bathroom "bathtub" is in deplorable condition with the inner sliding screen door almost off its hinges and can fall on us while taking a shower. 8) The tap is moving around in the sink. 9) The bathroom doorknob was off its hinges but I got that fixed... but now the door does not lock.10)The A/C might have not been installed correctly, cold air seems to flow through from outside constantly, it may pose to be a problem in the winters.11)The window net is torn and patched with a piece of sticker. However, we can work around it as it is... and I am not requesting you to get them fixed. Just letting you know, so that you are aware of some of the immediate pre-existing damages that

@Liz C. honestly, I think she is just trying to cover her *** because these were issues when she moved in, she does noy want to be blamed, nor deduct from the deposit when she moves out.

An appointment to physically go and see these issues is important, take a photo of them, notate and take care of any issues that are a hazard or big nuisance
