I agree that most tenants have cell phones as a minimum - they usually have a smart phone from what I have seen in my area.Since you wondered what to do in case a landline is desired: If, as you say, the phone company's line does come to the house, then you should be able to identify a gray colored box where that wire terminates.

Company colors, how's it look in royal blue and light grey, red and white, yellow and black....?

The covenants states: Section 2 Residence Each Owner shall maintain his Residence in good condition and repair and all exterior colors and materials, including the exterior walls, trim, doors and roof, shall be retained as close to the original as is reasonable possible.

If it appears lazy or is more yellow in color, clean orifice where gas comes out.

In fact, you could use this as a trial-run:go through all the motions and then walk away over something in the inspection.

For instance, today I am meeting the contractor at one of my rentals, I am redoing the kitchen, and we are picking out granite colors for the counters (Granite goes in all rentals that rent for more than $2,000 a month).

put the same color siding on it, the same bay window, etc.I see the ad on the MLS that the thing is listed for $25,000 and is listed for owner occupancy only by the city.

I did have a rental with a slightly gray tub (not from age, just a fashion color) and found some brown-gray flooring to put in there to coordinate and the tub fit in just fine.

I had to re-rebuild a shed as it was not the exact material they require, and also found out I couldn't replace wood trim on the house with vinyl as that book requires wood trim painted a specific color until all owners on one street agree to all replace with vinyl at the same time.

I once spent several thousand dollars on a whole bunch of nice, full-color postcards, only to find out that they didn't produce a lick of leads for me!
