I had one $180,000 rental when turned over had most windows broken, roof shingles damaged, the tenant rebuilt his harley on the living room floor, cigarette burns on the bathtub edges, used,diapers crammed down all the vents, holes kicked in the walls and doors. 

In order for the property to be habitable, it must have all of the following: a) Effective waterproofing and weather protection of roof and exterior walls, including unbroken windows and doors.b) Plumbing facilities in good working order, including hot and cold running water, connected to a sewage disposal system.c) Gas facilities in good working order.d) Heating facilities in good working order.e) An electrical system, including lighting, wiring and equipment, in good working order.f) Clean and sanitary buildings, grounds and appurtenances (for example, a garden or a detached garage) which are free from debris, filth, rubbish, garbage, rodents and vermin.g) Adequate trash receptacles in good repair.h) Floors, stairways and railings in good repair.In addition, the rented property must have all of the following:i) A working toilet, wash basin, and bathtub or shower.

Plus I am a landlord too and my car fits a full sized bathtub or 6 foot ladder, and clients get that.  

I made a repair request to the seller that included the replacing the sub-floor under the bathtub, fixing the foundation, updating the outlets to GFCI, replacing the roof and other small items. 

We  then moved over to the other side of the duplex and sealed a cracked bathtub and then replaced all the plumbing under the kitchen sink including the sink drain baskets.

GFCI protection is required for outlets near a water source(like a sink or bath tub), anywhere on the exterior of the building or in an unfinished portion of a structure(like an attic or crawl space).

I stopped by yesterday and saw more work had been done including replacing the drywall in the bathtubs with cement board and the entire basement stone foundation had been drylocked.Still lots to go but it was progress nonetheless.Will keep you posted!

As long as the hump (like the side of a bathtub) is lower than the top of the tank (maybe six inches below the top of the unit itself), siphon action will pull the last of the water out.How often do I do it?

The bathtub has the old style valves—one for hot and one for cold, and there's no limiter on the hot water.Anyhow, these tenants are having a baby soon and I wonder how I might protect the tenants from accidentally letting the baby get scaulded, and also protect myself from any lawsuites resulitng from scaulding water.Does anyone have any ideas?

I have decided to renovate my house and I am also looking forward to change the tiles and bath tubs of the washroom from simple tub to jacuzzi hydrotherapy walk in tubs.
