They're only required to repay you for health, safety, preservation of the property....fixing broken windows, roof leaks, locks, etc.#3. 

It's allowed me to do some of my own work like changing toilets and fixing leaking ceilings, but even if I don't want to do a job personally hopefully I'll have enough knowledge to not let a contractor over charge me, or recommend something I don't need.You'll also meet local contractors, and hopefully investors.They may offer an employee discount too.

Hi Everyone,I have a unit whose gas wall heater just got tagged by the gas company for leaking CO.  

My bedroom ceiling started leaking...I put a pot on the floor to catch the water and called the landlord at 11PM.

The majority owner should be required to sign reps & warrants at closing to be personally liable for them.You didn't mention checking the plumbing - hidden plumbing leaks can cause more damage over time than just about anything else!

When I dreamed of affluence circa 1991, it included the obligatory hot car (that I can buy a few times over now), lots of cheap women throwing themselves at me (my body would end up weighed down so deep in the Mon they'd never find it, I married a dangerous woman), and a lot of expensive stuff (me, a student of minimalism today).It also occurred to me that if my wife and I had kids, there was no way we could have asked them in 2017 to move into a leaking shack on the edge of a heroin ghetto, where a dude got shot just walking home in the alley out back in 2018, where the school system was ranked about as low as you can get for southwestern Pennsylvania (which is really saying something).

Toilet leaks, some stuff like that.

(For example, a minor leak that when neglected turns into something more significant.)In conclusion, I'm not going to tell you it's all candy canes & lollipops with Section 8, but if you properly vette all of the particulars, in can be something that works for you.

Leaks, mold, and lots of hidden problems.

Suppose, for example, the tenant delays in reporting the leaking roof - then you've got mold, damaged ceilings, etc.
