If they do and damage or crime (ie registered sex offender) and they were living in your property and something happens you could be held liable and it could be a slippery slope that we don’t want to go down.

My experience is you get  a reserve credit at closing from the seller for the items not working properly or reaching the end of their life expectancy.Even if tenants for example are base rent plus CAM and pay for it they hardly ever have the extra money on top of the estimated typical base CAM payments monthly.

Some retail center leases have CAM caps each year on how much expenses a tenant will pay.

It tends to get smaller as size gets bigger the management fee just like multifamily.Also you have to read the leases and see if any caps on cam because tenants might be currently paying less and then you pay more and eats into your NOI as you do not get reimbursed above a certain amount by the tenants.3.
