Our 4 family is haunted.Every time we change tenants and that unit sits vacant for any amount of time, the bathroom, kitchen and bedrooms lose electricity, only the living room has power.

If I cover them with electrical tape, should that solve the problem, or should I cut the wire off before the breaks?

We were destroyed- no electricity for 9 days(our condos are 178 steps up with no elevator!!)

Many times, the property owner will find a way to pay rather than lose the property.Just like you, as a tenant, might get a letter from the electric company telling you they are about to cut off your power.

I have had major issues with electricity, plumbing, rotten windows, gutters falling off, citations from the city for peeling paint.

I spent about $16K but did a new heater and hot water heater, and paid for plumbing and electrical labor.Buy price $60KClosing costs $1500Insurance $1000Rehab $14,000Utilities $500 (hopefully high)Sales closing costs $10,000 (assumes 2% for concessions and using a realtor to sell)Net profit $13,000Opportunity cost (5% on $75K for six months) $1750.

We will bid on the chance that plumbing or electrical may need to be moved.

@Chukwudi Motanya,Would you buy a $50,000 automobile without first physically seeing the auto?

I've left it as is so you could see it.If I'm the only one still having the issue, it could be firefox, or it could be my electric fingers. :-) BTW, this happens on 3 different computers, an Acer netbook, a Lenovo Laptop and a Dell Desktop.

However, make sure the plumber and electrician are master level (not knocking the other trades but electrical and plumbing are two areas that can and do cause serious injuries when installed incorrectly yet commonly screwed up imo).
