Lights and Gas would have to be put in their names and verified on or before the signing of the lease. 

Your annual budget and reserve funding documents can shed light on that, and you absolutely need to understand them.Owner's are ultimately responsible to pay fines, and typically charge them back to the tenant directly, or if they are using a Rental manager to oversee their unit, the PM would do so.

Can anybody shed a light on this?

If gas, is the pilot light lit?

Just bought a house that I'm renovating as part of a BRRRR, and I'm trying to decide what the best material is for flooring, countertops, and lighting.

I have other clients of mine that i have funded over the years and they do a turn key light program they will find  do the fix up for the OOS person and charge a fee ranging from 5k to 10k per property so you get the asset at cost you get the fix up at cost and you have a TRUE PRO who owns over 220 rentals himself managing your rehab.. worth every penny. 

Some of the additional benefits include:Reduction in current tax liability Insurance savingsImmediate increase in cash flowMinimization of recapture upon sale of the assetIdentifying disposition expensesIdentifying repair and maintenance expensesEnergy cost savingsConstruction tax planningPreservation tax credits (historical and new market)Fixed asset reviewDEIRA Reports (reduces insurance premiums, benchmarking reports, energy audits and reserve studies)Depending on the state in which you own the property, you may also qualify for state taxdeductions or credits which can be identified with a thorough cost segregationstudy.Real Estate is such a unique type of investment and pairing it with cost segregation makes it even more unique.

I am inside of a situation that I mindfully created and I am wondering if anyone could help shed some light from a new perspective for me.

A few lighting fixtures and vanities in the bathrooms.

The units have been completely updated with new flooring, paint, light fixtures, designer hardware, granite tops, vanities, showers and appliances.
