Yes, you should have to pay for them.Blinds typically pop into a clip, so that might be 5 minutes to repair. 

(just looking for a ballpark here)- Average number of room turnovers per year - PadSplit says the average tenant stays 9 months- Average cost of each room turnover (room & carpet cleaning, repairs due to wear and tear)- Repairs and maintenance - how much are you typically setting aside for this?

Also remind them that they may be held responsible if a repair is necessary because they failed to change the filter.

For reserves, you'll want 3-6 months of potential expenses saved (repairs, vacancies, unexpected costs).

I've never done one of these, but I would reach out to someone like Jeff Watson for assistance getting solid paperwork in place.

We only learned this meeting with the towns assistant commissioner of planning who was a co-worker of my wife who worked in city planning for a while.

Total cost (purchase + repairs) is 49,000, that is approx 64% of ARV, less than the recommended max of 70%.

For first-timers, leveraging programs like down payment assistance or FHA loans can make a big difference.

If I can be any assistance let me know...Thx

We did floors, and multiple interior repairs ourselves while living there.
