Its one bedroom with 1000 sq feet, condo fee is 135 which includes heat water and trash, taxes $1200.

Unless it's an emergency or an urgent need, our tenants won't be calling us in the middle of the night and I won't be going out to the property in the middle of the night.As for what a typical clause might look like, here is are examples from our rental agreement:MAINTENANCE OF PREMISES.Landlord will maintain all electrical, plumbing, heating, and other facilities and appliances supplied by Landlord in good working order.Landlord will perform periodic inspections of the premises, no less than once a year, for the purpose of property maintenance and repair.Landlord will notify Tenant in advance of the inspection.

Tenant pays for their heat, electrical, and hot water.

Now that I am preparing to "turn up" the metaphor "heat" on my new real estate investing career, I have heard a little of this and  little of that about qualified retirement plans (QRPs).

Electrically heated appliances and equipment shall be installed with the required clearances to combustible materials.And, most manufacturers will require 5' on a top discharge unit.Most installers hate enclosing them even with this clearance -- makes the units work harder.Keep them in the wide open. 

A year later we ended up having problems with one of the units (leaking evaporator coil) and ended up replacing them both.

This could provide heat and cocking gas for the unit ($130 /month value).I'll check with the city for kicks..

Hey Guys, This is more of a shower thought and thankfully hasn't happened to me yet , but I was wondering what should do as a landlord when your tenant is responsible for the utilities and decides to stop paying the heating bill in the winter (electric, gas etc).

Just got a call from a tenant , no heat .

I had an electrician address a problem with my hot water heater, he fixed the wiring, but referred me to a plumber to replace the heating element and thermostat.
