Yep. Thanks for chiming in!

That's what I suspected. Thanks for the insights!

We have a reasonably new tenant who's had several repair issues since she moved in back on July 1. She had issues with her kitchen faucet leaking. We repaired it at no cost to her. About 2 weeks ago, she contacted us with similar issues. We had a plumber replace the entire faucet, again at no cost to her. 

Las night, she sent a text (along with a video) showing that the hot water doesn't come on from the kitchen faucet. She said "it's weird, doesn't happen all the time." Our plumber will go take a look at it today. If it's related to the work he did, he won't charge us.

In the same text, she showed a picture of her tub hardware, which has come apart from the ceiling support. 

Is this just normal "wear and tear" we should expect? Is there a point where repairs become the tenant's responsibility?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks @Ned Carey!

Just a quick hello to the BP community. I'm so grateful we found this resource. BP has saved us a lot of time and money already with just our first property. Looking forward to much more in the future. 

@Bryan Montross Thankfully, the upstairs tenant voiced her concerns directly, and things have (literally and figuratively) quieted down. We didn't step in as a result and didn't see the need to. They're both good tenants, so I'm confident they've worked it out. 

Appreciate your chiming in!

Great advice!  Thankfully, we haven't heard anything else from either party since. They're both good tenants. Let's hope they've figured out how to co-exist and that will be the end of it.  

@Lynn McGeein Agreed. The downstairs tenant also has another floor available, bonus room in the finished basement, which might help with noise between tenants as well.
