Hello John, in our lease, if the tenant is moving out, we must inspect the property to see if the air conditioning works, if the light bulbs work, if the oven is working, dishwasher, etc.

Very few would decide to leave anyway and they'd be the ones who decided that they're ready to pay more to get an apartment with a dishwasher or where pets are allowed :-)

At my remaining San Diego property I have a lot of outdoor lights that are on from dusk to dawn.  

Sadly, this seems to come with the territory and we need to learn to pass over these like we do over clogged toilets and broken dishwashers.  

Now this unit runs the dishwasher, and it backs up into this unit. 

They were really bare-bones, but clean and well-maintained - with cheap carpet put in new for every tenant.The one thing applicants wanted more than anything else - and these units didn't have washer/dryers, disposals, dishwashers, bathtubs - which nobody complained about - was hardwood floors.If the only thing I ever changed was convincing the owner to put in hardwood flooring - or anything similar that just wasn't carpet but was similar to hardwood flooring, like laminate - I could have increased rents significantly.But, I'm telling you they don't care about dishwashers or counters or bathtubs or disposals or even washer/dryers in-unit as much as they care about hardwood-type flooring.The next thing the care about is in-unit washer/dryer of any kind or size.Next, a dishwasher.And I highly suggest you don't paint in any color other than basic beige.
