Also, I have an electronic keypad lock on my front door that allows me to change the entry code whenever I get new roommates.

That's more like of a free buffet of electronics :) He has renter's insurance, so he's not worried at all.

I went for option #1 for the repair/replacement.Hope it helps.THe HVAC technician's findings were that the system extremely low on freon. they performed an electronic leak search and found evaporator coil leaking severely.

So when my deal (that I mentioned at the beginning of this discussion above) came along I made sure I got in on it and it has been the best thing I have ever done in my life.Along the way I got into electronics, electricity and construction. 

I believe this is an exorbitant fee / ripoff for what amounts to probably 15 minutes of work sending some electronic documents. 

Even if unmodified, the shields/sleeves on the wires have deteriorated with age - or become part of someone's nest - leaving exposed wiring in walls, ceilings and attics ... we had an incident a few years ago where a tenant drove a nail to hang a mirror and shorted out three rooms {new acquisition at the time that has since been rewired}.Additionally, household electrical demands (a few light bulbs, a radio, and {perhaps} an electric icebox and/or range) were far less in the age of K-n-T and installations were not designed to accommodate today's electronic lifestyle.  

Everything is on electronic forms these days, so it's not like agents have to fax papers and/or run all over town getting signatures and counter offers and more.

Would love to install an electronic gate to keep the riffraff of the neighborhood out.
