If something sits for longer than 2 weeks in prime leasing season you should consider adjusting price, marketing package, or easy to change amenities (appliances, include window AC, dishwasher, etc. you really need to review competing rentals and see what they include).

You can give @Dawn A.'

I don’t think anyone fixes microwaves/dishwashers you replace them.

It is no different than a loan company requiring insurance on your house or car.As @Dawn Brenengen said, require that they put you down as additional insured.

@Dawn VoughtYes. same experience with me.

The more info you can give to your guests and the more transparent you can be about all the different and unique aspects of your property or hosting style will pay you dividends. 14 - Dishwasher!

Like so many of you from the dawn of your real estate journey, I'm just trying to be a sponge and get my hands on as much info before dipping my toe in the pool. 

In my instance, my tenants dishwasher was not completely draining and it took about one week for them to get there.

We had a fire/landlord policy with Norfolk and Dedham insurance, however after my last tenant and last property manager allowed my property to get into a state of severe disrepair, including water damage from a dishwasher/septic backup, which was never remediated, my insurer dropped me from coverage as a "bad risk" (we had made a claim for the water damage by the tenant).
