@Franddy Aguasvivas I would personally never cover up classic solid wood siding with plastic, just because it needs a fresh paint job.

Cabinets were sprayed in a plastic chamber, quarantined and sealed on-site.

Add sections of 4" plastic pipes through the 6";hopefully to street connection, averting the need to deal with the other properties owner(s) and resolving your sewer problem.Just my thoughts.

My tenant is on permanent disability (an older gentleman who does everything in cash since he cashes his disability check the day it arrives and doesn't use plastic/checks) so it didn't seem like a big deal to accommodate receiving payment in cash. :)@Liz C. - I do have liability insurance, but I'm hoping I won't be needing any of it, per the update from the tenant's PI Lawyer.

Also, portable AC units and window units jack up your utility bill in the summer, and those can sometimes fry the outlets since they draw a ton of power compared to central AC. 

For instance, I had a tenant that never washed their dishes before putting them in the dishwasher...she also deep fried everything...after a time the drain got clogged with grease....I refused to pay for the bill from the plumber and told them if they didn't clear the grease off the plates that this would happen again and again.

Plastic blinds are the worst...the string pull mechanisms are junk; vertical blinds self-destroy themselves between constant motion from wind, and cheap plastic hanger guides.I have NEVER had a prospective Tenant comment negatively due to no curtains, and certainly never had one say it was a deal breaker.

The chips on the cabinet door edges are wear and tear.I would say hard use of the unit, but wear and tear.The paint chips on painted cabinets sometimes, and the plastic film peels back on the coated type sometimes.If you have trouble making them look nice, perhaps you can get replacement doors.For apartment use I think the easiest to blend in repairs is the old oak type.To many this look is dated, but in some neighborhoods this would be an acceptable (clean roomy) rental.
