The other utilities will just come on when you change them to you, but you do want to be there right away to check for gas leaks.

But that’s going to be toilets, faucets, leaks, garage doors, etc etc. 

If the drain pan isn't working, that must mean the washing machine is leaking, which should be a tenant issue if the machine belongs to them. 

@Ryan Leake thanks for sharing helpful tips.Steps 4 and 5 for "boosting ratings" is why I've designed an auto-mated post-stay review intercept survey.

The chimney contractor replaced the cap, but requires the branches be trimmed before he can perform repairs on the chimney because it is still leaking into the fire place after the cap was replaced. 

Why are you paying $250 for someone to check a leak unless it's an emergency?

After the tenant moved in the repair calls starting coming in 9 times in 12 months - backdoor was stuck again (that was part of minor repairs), heat went out, AC not cooling, kitchen sink leaking,  etc.
