My iphone, other electronics, cosmetics and some clothing were damaged beyond repair.I informed my landlord of the damaged items the next day and he brushed it off.

Buying real estate is like buying clothes...Sometimes expensive, sometimes cheap.

If you're buying a residence (or a car, a TV set, clothes, or pretty much everything else) buy the cheapest thing available that meets your needs.

But recently I found out afterwards that the drain line to the clothes washer has been clogged.

I'm sure you don't like paying retail (full price) for your clothing, so why would you pay full retail for something like a HOUSE?

In the last 5 months, she's already had claims paid out for the clothes dryer and dishwasher. 

In my area, we've had a couple of very severe nit pickers (one got rejected for peeling paint on a metal clothes line) and others frankly give anything the thumbs up.

I do my own taxes so I am unsure about a couple of items are repairs and can be expensed or if they need to be depreciated.New Clothes DryerReplaced carpets with laminate floorsThanks for any help!

The service technician also identified that the big main wire (I'm not an electrician) coming from the exterior main panel to the interior sub-panel was some old cloth jacketed wire that doesn't meet current code.

Do not use your balcony as storage or to dry clothes.
