If I can't find someone to take their place right away I enforce it otherwise I will let it slide if there is no vacancy.

The "template" consists of the merging of two spreadsheets (Income and Expenses) I had previously sent to them with a sum feature added (which I had already done on my end to a subsequent revision).  

first, get your heat looked at and get a qualified tech to confirm it is working, or fix it. you do not want tenant using a fireplace for heat.second, if tenant rented unit with a working gas fireplace, you are likely obligated to fix it. especially in a tenant friendly area such as California.third, I would seriously consider not leaving this in for subsequent tenants. what if they leave something to close and there is a fire?

We also were nice and dropped her rent $50 a month.That was March 2015  She soon after started paying rent late, like between the 5th and the 15th,and we let that slide, even though the new agreement says we can charge 5% every day it is late past the 1st.
