My question is should we include internet, water, gas, and power?

She sounds like a giant PITA who will only get worse,This is actually a gift to you - gives you a very valid reason to get rid of a bad tenant.

While this isn't a long-term solution, it could buy you time to arrange finances for a complete fix.Insurance Claim: If the issue with the tub is due to improper installation, it's worth checking if this is something that your homeowner’s insurance or a builder's warranty (if still valid) might cover.Partial Renovation: Instead of a full demolition and remodel, consider if there's a way to repair the tub area without a complete overhaul.

I have explored a variety of online and physical side hustles, but now it's time to transition to brick-and-mortar as I build towards my dream of creating my own private equity firm.I am officially closing soon on the acquisition of an absentee gas station and laundromat business.

I may even move into my little bungalow eventually when I get off the road working (oil and gas industry ) my W2 job.

The way I understand is that as long as the tenant has a valid lease the bank will have to honor it until it expires.

I made the entire unit electric so I didn't have to split gas.

You can deduct a proportionate amount of your mortgage interest, property taxes, insurance, electricity, water, gas, etc. and you can deduct any expenses that are directly associated with the portion of the property that is being rented out.

It will be nice to be splitting this and it gas historically improved quickly.  

From your responses it is evident to me that you validate it as an important tool so it appears that it is most likely what I should be using.
