One of the repair items in my letter is to "uneven sidewalk" that is due to the neighbor's tree roots lifting the neighbor's sidewalk section adjacent to the "uneven" area.

If I run across a great deal I will take it but I don't spend days rooting around bargain outlets

So in the last 12 months these are some of those kinds of unusual expenses:- replace oil tank $1800- replace Bilco door wrecked by tenant $950- replace sewer pipe clogged with roots $2000- repair neighbors gutters that were destroyed by one of our trees $250Anyone else have unusual/extenuating expense stories?

Nothing a landlord can or should do to remedy those type of problem sources, but I give the benefit of the doubt and pay for the first time and document the root cause to assess any future requests ...

But do talk to the tenant about the plumber's report to see if the tenant can shed some light on the matter and help you determine the root cause.When I was a child, my friends and I made a little "play house" area in the attic and equipped it with a rug, chairs, and other household items.

I still tried, however, to fix the issue for the tenant by offering to call PGW and have them fix the issue or take a look at the issue to see if they could find a root cause.

Is it possible that the trees roots might damage a near by fence or anything? 

Identify and address the root cause of the problem with their help and the tenant's help.6. 

No reimbursement other than keeping her security deposit.Here is a recent one (we took 3 of these out) & if it wasn't for the tree roots the socks & toys would have flushed all the way through.

Hello, although it is not the same, Iwould like to know if I am responsible to fix a sidewalk broken by the roots ofa tree that is in HOA territory, in front of my property, between the sidewalkand the curb (got a notice by the city).
