While I don't think we have had flooding like you had recently we have had floods take out basements, mechanicals and homes that didn't have a basement had water 1-2' up. 

That's a 110 gallon trough and an RV water holding tank. 

I have two recently purchased water heaters.

We are able to rekey a lock in about 3 seconds per lock and give everyone a guaranteed fresh key every time.

Sometimes I have to override them on choosing a plumber, when its just a handyman job, ie, when the handle set screw comes loose on the shower hot cold water handle, that does not require a plumber, but the PM was all set to send in my plumber, and I told her that a handyman can do that.... of course she agreed, and got me a handy man within 24 hrs.

Kind of like the frog in boiling water.

There were times when maintenance was needed (new shower head, sliding closet doors, fresh paint from bags hitting walls, etc.), but we had a handy man who took care of all that for us.

I am landlord in California.Tenant has not paid water bill for a year.

This will be my first property in this MSA, wanted to test waters before expanding.

The only use would be to cause you water issues and it's unnecessary and the bedroom would be more spacious without it.
