Where we are located, the city requires the water/sewer bill to be in the landlord's name, so the students pay the landlord the rent, water, sewer and trash and then the students pay the electric, gas and cable/internet directly to the utility company.  

She is requesting that I pain the kitchen, repair chipped Formica on countertop and Formica that is coming up on counter and also fix or replace hood over gas stove.

Avoid people with poor pay history on utility companies (power, gas phone).

There are openings in the upper west exterior walls where electrical conduit was removed.10.The stucco in these areas has not been repaired to prevent moisture penetration and deterioration.11.The front unit has issues flushing the toilet, which was confirmed with a tenant, so camera scoping of the drain pipes was performed that revealed damages and blockages in the pipes.12.Deferred maintenance on multiple items: cracks around windows and pipes, gas pipes are not supported, pilot lights in heater units were not lit, a water heater unit has no ventilation.I hired a plumber to scope the pipes (please see his report in the invoice attached and photos); a roofing company was hired to assess the damage to the roof above the middle unit only (please see proposed work sheet); a general contractor has inspected the settlement of the wall in the second unit due to the damaged frame.

Tax lein and gas $17,000 in the 44105 zip code.

If a gas stove, do any of the burners not work?

Default tenant that owes several months back rent has finally moved out and my mom who is the new new owner (brother died and left house and assumable mortgage to her in his will) is trying to get gas service but the gas company says service is still active and past due balance under tenant's name.What is the best resolution?

Plumber took a look and suggested it would be a good time to switch over to gas forced air furnace.

It's an easy, free (except for gas) way to get leads.
