When someone worries too much about the details, that's when I have seen plenty of people freeze through analysis paralysis.

Now we have the challenge of Many aging in place, with people unable to maintain homes of size.For look at demand you can ask a number of high end architects around here, they are all doing ADUs and trying to increase density to respond to today’s demand.Healthy neighborhoods are always changing, and restrictive zoning often attempts to freeze a moment in time that becomes out of step with the current market.

I'm going to assume the dishwasher is connected to the same drain system from the kitchen sink.Is it possible the pipes are freezing? 

Sharon,In my personal opinion.First thing first, resolve Ice-maker issue by removing the water line from the back of the freeze and offer her one-time $20-50 off for inconvenient (usually you don’t want to give incentive, else they will complain more often).

When tenants stop paying for utilities other problems arise, such as burning candles for light, using propane devices for heating, and BBQs for cooking, running extension cords from other residences and overloading them, and in the winter, freezing pipes.... to name a few.

To give you a complete picture, there's also many other minor issues such as: the refrigerator is freezing all of the food and the light is broken (not the bulb), the kitchen light is broken (but the fan works), the doorknob latch sticks a lot so I can't close my door (it swings open from the slant in the house if not latched).

I'm glad the city will put a freeze on rent increases until the bad offenders repair their properties.

It works for a while, then there will come a point where typing just freezes, etc.  

I have a tenant that's calling me on the installed microwave door being "hard to open ".. ...another called me about the fridge not "cooling enough".....I've provided appliances always....I had the fridge looked at.....regular cooling....as in excuse me, "but your melted ice cream should not freeze within 3 minutes of you putting it in the freezer?

those are the risk we all take in ANY NICHE in real estate.I mean look at the post now of those who drank the BRRRR cool aid and most of the QM and non owner occ lenders put a freeze on lending and they are stuck with HML with no exit.. or cant pull their cash out..
