Resident shall notify theOwner/Agent of any leaks, drips, water fixtures that do not shut off properly, including, but not limited to, a toilet, or other.Move-in Move-out checklist:http://www.griswoldremgmt.com/uploads/files/move-out-inspection-checklist.pdfFYI, in a part of their lease agreement, there is a move in check list which they have signed it and by that have already accepted that every item in the list was clean in the time of their move in. ( Clean items are indicated by CLN in the list.)

__________This toilet right here needs no caption.

The toilets in a 3 million, 1 million and 200k property all cost about the same to change.

It's going in the toilet because too many tenants have taken over what was once a predominantly owner occupied area. 

In anne arundel county you need a permit to change a wax ring on a toilet

But if you plan on holding for 2-3 years and are unsure how things are going to pan out, then avoid it. 

By the time they realise it is all going down the toilet it is too late.I strongly advise new investors buy local and manage their own properties until they become callused and hardened toward managing tenants of their own.

Other non-code enforcement issues I look for when doing inspections on my own: change air filter, check to make sure toilets are not running, run water in sinks and check drain pipes for leaks, check for signs of unauthorized pets, check to make sure all windows operate, check all GFCI outlets with a tester and make sure they reset. 

If it is not their fault (ie a tree root has grown through the sewer pipe which is why the toilet keeps backing up or something like that) then I would probably get the problem fixed after the 3rd time it happened.

I have a prospective client in Sunnyside who hired his handywoman to convert an existing garage to a loft-style studio with a composting toilet.
