A lot of humorous help in this thread, but the bit quoted here is dead-on for serious guidance.Require that all maintenance requests be in writing, and that they be sent to your office address / place of business so that the staff that you have dedicated to ensuring customer satisfaction can take care of such matters.That should limit things reported to you to the more serious issues, and that you seem to want brought to your attention anyway.Now, if she writes down the sorts of things that you mention she is happy to chat about, then your otherwise great tenant is likely going to be a long-term pain.

5.Location of the vents and the returns.If they ran the returns improperly into the garage etc. it could cause a problem.If there is low air pressure the lines could be having needing tape or being pinched as mentioned earlier or the runs and angles could be wrong.6.Where is the air vents located at for each room.They used to put them on the floor but the problem is they would get covered up with curtains etc. and the builder would not center them in front of the window like they were supposed to.In these cases relocating the vent worked wonders for air flow.The air flow and coldness was great it was just being blocked creating hot zones in the room.7.Is the thermostat the old mercury switch kind or the new electrical ones??
