I'm refering to such things like:  plumbing leaks, gutter issues,  shingle issues, general careof the home / property, and a myriad of other items. 

You can save money by installing all plastic shower pans and plastic walls, but being a plumbing contractor we encounter cracked shower pans almost every day and we encounter the drains leaking in plastic shower pans because when people stand on shower pans the plastic flexes and the drain strainers loosen causing significant damage.

They said the hot water heater under the house had been leaking and had caused both the mold and the floor to split.

I’ve had my fair share of fires, car wrecks, a broad range of medical calls, traumas, gas leaks, baby deliveries and really anything else you can think of.

You will have guests reach out with leaks and misc problems, people will complain about things completely out of your control, etc.

I did work for them in California and they own almost every storage facility.While operating a public storage facility sounds like it is easier to manage than housing rental units the business comes with inherited problems i.e. 24/7 management, theft issues, issues regarding damage to your customer's personal items caused by leaks in the roof, flooding of the storage yard and maintaining the asphalt driveways and parking lots is often very expensive and can take several years to recover from.I do underground utility installation and repairs for sewers, water mains, electric, etc. and I recently completed a job for Extra Space where we had to replace 1200 feet of 6 inch fire water piping.

There aren't any leaks or issues otherwise.

I would first not mention the increased rent coming but ask if there are any issues currently in the unit that the tenant would like addressed(Shower inoperable, leaking ceiling, etc.)

I go and inspect and there is literally no leaks upstairs, no water lines in this section of the house and no rain for days outside and no sign of moisture intrusion from outside.
