They left him for dead and he suffered permanent brain damage.Another time, we had a cleaning person performing her regular weekly duties in a laundry room of a 20 plus unit property, she was attacked and raped.I personally, when working maintenance years ago, was on a ladder in the common hallway replacing a fixture when a teen pulls a knife and demands money.

Wires plug switches light fixtures, add fixtures add switches etcetera.

I would say replacing flooring if dated or in bad shape, painting to a neutral color, changing light fixtures and outlets/switches are usually the biggest return on investments but not always the case and sometimes if the kitchen or bathroom is bad doing work in there returns some good value.

Some need to be fully renovated with new bathroom fixtures, kitchen appliances, cabinets, flooring, windows, etc.How much you pay depends on the work you want/need done.

Thanks in advance for any insight, im located in Lynchburg, VA if anyone out there in the BP community would like to share a cup of coffee or a beer sometime. 

That being said, if you are Adding fixtures (Bathroom, kitchen, laundry, etc.) you will be increasing the "Fixture count" and bring the building further out of compliance; therefore prompting a Water Service Upgrade (Which the City has been pushing pretty hard on).

The equation for property taxes generally uses plumbing fixtures, square feet and quality of neighborhood.

Replacing toilets, light fixtures and outlets are minor and we never get permits for things like that.

Weak link in the plumbing... it's probably not the actual toilet. 1. put 1/4 cup baking soda in toilet bowls and sinks 2. then a cup of vinegar, it will bubble, let it sit an hourflush, rinse sinks with two cups more or less of boiling waterThis should cut out the bacteria high up in the drains for a couple weeks.I would give the tenant a big box of baking soda and walmart gallon bottle of vinegar and notsend a plumber.

I would have a friendly cup of coffee with the seller, the tenant and yourself together and give each copies of both leases and let them hmm, and haww about what happened here.
