Last night after work I had to fix a water heater on one property, a water line leak under a sink at another property, and work on an HVAC unit at a third property.

Hello,My name is LeoOne of my investor friend has an issue with his rental property (2 story townhome with HOA)What was happened to him and the unit is1) the drain pipe on 2nd floor bathroom was broken2) water leaked in the 1st floor ceiling and walls3) in contractors opinion, this problem was caused by just normal wear and tear (already 40 year building)4) Those pipes are not shared wish other units (service the unit only) and HOA won't do anything or take care of it. 5) it will take 1-2 months for everything to be fixed up6) Tenant will need to evacuate to a hotel or shelter I have two questions,#1 In this case, whose insurance should cover the fee of tenant's hotel while the damages are fixed up? 

The water pressure isn't the concern as much as preventing a future leak.

-----But if you have your own addendum referenced above, here are few others you could add to the list you made:Annual Maintenance Encourage tenants to perform or arrange for annual maintenance checks on their AC units to ensure optimal performance and safety throughout the season.Contact Information for Approved VendorsProvide a list of approved vendors or technicians whom tenants can contact for professional installation, maintenance, or repair of their AC units.Emergency ProceduresInclude information on what tenants should do in case of an AC unit malfunction that may threaten the safety or structural integrity of the property, such as water leaks or electrical issues.

You have a leak to repair with some cosmetic repair to the lower unit, and your insurance is doubling.

Big things always happen when you are on vacation, that is a rule of the universe.Below is a picture of a water leak in one of my mobile home parks this last weekend.

Have major water leak and need suggestions for reputable independent contractor in north Dallas, Texas area.

Folks if you have condo in upper unit with water heater please check its condition, make sure it's not rusty and/or has potential for leaking.

Or one of my favorites... the tenant reports the roof is leaking.
