I'm pretty busy so I don't have time to be wasting communicating/ keeping track of items in hallways so I sometimes throw away items when there are signs stating "no storage" and it says in lease items will be disposed of.

Are they more upscale places catering to people with some disposable income versus businesses catering to lower income people that are necessities? 

I am not an expert on this but you want to use words of EMOTION for house buyers and not descriptive only comments (has updated kitchen, garbage disposal, etc.)

Not only that, but lending to the poor also became a qualification for take overs and mergers, if you had not lent enough to the poor, then a take over would be blocked.So in one stroke, ability to repay took second place to other things.Mortgages were then made, packaged up into so called bonds and sold to investors (not re investors, but people like pensions companies etc).In 2006 a lot of these packaged mortgages were found to have deficiencies, eg people not repaying, and the investors holding these investments started disposing of them.Banks were asking accountancy firms in the City of London and Wall Street to start unpacking each one of these instruments to redo e paperwork and pull out the bad loans and then repackage them.The Banks were offering in London £50,000 to redo one of these bonds (for a better word) and offer insurance on the bond after it was repackaged, the auditing and accountancy firms asked for £250,000 per bond and no insurance. 

Abatement or Remediation:  Many contractors will try to "sell you" on encapsulation, which is acceptable, (such as "painting it" with a recognized/certified sealant)  but leaves the potential there... and again it is ALL about disclosure...Abatement/Remediation is the more costly but permanent solution.... if is a roof, the roofer should be certified in the removal and disposal.

The contractor needs to be large enough where these become a nuisance and begin to cost them money in handling/shipping/storage/disposal.

I do not have dishwashers or garbage disposers, ever - in my experience, they are just problems waiting to happen. 

I had a bad light switch connected to the disposal.  

My inspection is next week and I have a garbage disposal that is installed but does not work.
