Differing costs.[4] The owner cares most about SPEED of repair because they want to re-rent as fast as possible.[5] Some of these products are made for rental use and are faster to repair.[6] Repair cost includes labor and a possible up charge by a local management company for handling the repair.[7] LVP likes to remain in a certain temperature zone, if you do not use A/C some types of it may buckle.[8] At least they didn't charge you pet rent for the rodents (that is a joke).If they replace it, just be as careful as you can.
