First things first - u're a landlord now, so you must choose your words more carefully.  

Hi Landlords,My tenants have complained that their oven seems to have stopped working correctly.

As a rule these "accidental" landlord situations are usually a sell rather than a rent.  

Yes in MD a lawsuit was filed to strike  down the provisions of the lead paint laws that protected landlords from lead paint lawsuits by limiting damages if they followed state guidelines.

In VA the landlord must accommodate the tenants request given a good amount of X time which was fine and given.  

If the rental market for landlords accepting pets is tight they will pay.

If the stock market were to see annual gains of 20%+ for a few years then a large number of people would stop being Saturday afternoon landlords and start being 'stock gurus'. 

However, if it lands you with a good mentor from which to learn, it could save you thousands in mistakes you will not make going forward.

@Alex Craig  unfortunately the cycle in these price point homes is just a rinse repeat cycle.. burnt out landlord syndrome.. local wholesaler investor snags them from out of area buyer tired of losing money.the chances are greater than 99% that htis person will never make a dime first 3 months his cash loss's will equal 3 to 4 years of cash flow so he will never catch up... and now he is stuck.. property as it sits is probably not worth more than 15k or so to a local wholesaler / low end turn key buyer... sad but true.And its why I always preach on BP buy the BEST you can buy not the cheapest.. the cheapest in the midwest markets is only appropriate for locals that own lots of these and do it for a living.. these are simply not appropriate for out of area passive investors they get killed financially .
