The only thing I put in my lease is that tenant is responsible for plumbing clogs and stuff they caused.That is reasonable, and if they want to continue to use the toilet, they will find their own plumber, unless they want to dig a hole in the yard and crap in it.I don't specifically put anything else in the contract.

On the other hand, it could be a new house in a primo neighborhood with a seller that keeps the house like pigs, with a turd in the toilet when you view it ... you can get a discount and it is more likely to be a good deal because the defects from "perfectly good" are easy to remedy (a little bleach, paint, elbow grease and a dumpster).

My contractor brought beautiful vanity 2" longer than old and it leaves only 28" between vanity and bath. Could I have any problems with it?

Baths need a deep clean, needs one new toilet and one vanity.

Lets say a tenant calls you for a leaky toilet at 10:00pm.

I would take that $15K and lend it out at 10 - 12% to rehabbers, use it for 3 months, be a private lender, make $1500 every 3 months, and -no maintenance, no taxes, -no asset protection costs, -no law suits from tenants, -no property management costs, -etc.Better yet, I would start a Self Directed Roth IRA.See https://www.trustetc.com/resources/education/case-...Own loan notes. not property with tenants and toilets.

It's not that it has to function perfectly like that unless you're intending to run the hose, take two showers and flush the toilet all at once, but it gives you an idea of whether you'll have issues.I should also mention that while I'm comfortable looking for structural issues in a house with a brick-walled basement, I'd be completely lost in a stick-built home on a slab.  

They even complain about hearing toilets flush and cabinets closing. 

On top of this, the last tenant left the unit with a broken toilet and without a toilet tank lid and it cost him "a lot of money to fix" - which he wasn't happy about and seems to have taken his frustration out on us.Now my question is - are there landlords out there (anywhere) that would lower the rent price to have a good tenant (I feel I'm a good tenant, please correct me if I'm mistaken) that can and will maintain the property if said tenant could not afford the market value?

You can see if the water lines to radiators and or water feed lines or a toilet cracked.
