To me, some common culprits that come to mind that an enterprising but not handy individual may attempt to claim is your responsibility would be issues with the dishwasher, garbage disposal, clogged toilets, shower water pressure, keys/locks & anything requiring a circuit breaker reset.I’ll echo that you shouldn’t have the utilities in your name, and for good measure state that internet/cable tv should also absolutely be in the other party’s name – this is one of the most common source of complaints by STR guests and you will not want to be contacted every time there is a Comcast outage.Good luck!

I choose to stand for at least 60% of my workday.All of my coworkers routinely choose to eat garbage fast food for lunch everyday.
