I am a newbie trying to structure a deal and have the cash for a 20% DP and 10% rehab but don't necessarily want to dish out the cash on one deal.

Am I responsible for covering the cost of extermination if the bottle flies are caused by sanitation issues, and I have observed tenants dirty dishes lying in sinks, empty bottles lying around apartments, and trash put out on the back porch?

I would just get it tested and be prepared to dish out some cash to get it fixed.

And if I manage to tell this before my husband finishes the dishes then I'll move on to part of the contractor saga.

So the amenities she is given is a parking spot, washer/dryer access in our basement and of course her own apartment with dish washer (not common from what I've seen).

Some people keep dirty dishes in their sink, others don't.

I understand that there is a federal law/regulation prohibiting landlords from favoring cable providers or dish providers.  

For the dishwasher this time, i don't think waiting til this Saturday for a new one should get me in trouble, washing dishes is not an urgent issue. 

New dish washers are not that expensive. 

I have told him that he needs to take the dish down and will be responsible for any repair costs.
