[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It probably covers the minimum fee a handyman charges just to come to the property to evaluate the repair. [/quote]

Yes but that’s part of the landlord’s responsibility, unless the tenant caused the problem. [/quote]

With WFH a lot of tenants are causing more wear-and-tear on homes. Makes sense that now a nuisance fee is attached. [/quote]

What exactly- besides the toilet- is getting used more? Working from home I use the dishwasher less, it's one time a day versus two times a day when I was going to the office. I absolutely shower less often. I blow dry my hair less often. The temperature stays the same in the house as when I worked out of the house. I cook the same amount I just cook it three times a day versus only two.

Fridge is being constantly opened and closed for more snacks, food, lunch, coffee, baby needs etc. A/C or heat is running all day instead of off from 7-6. Showers and toilets are being used all day. Carpet and flooring had greater tread patterns and if you have kids at home - spills and mess.

Utilities and electricity is being used more and therefore the appliances that run on them as well.[/quote]

This is asinine. You're not running a hotel, you're renting a property. Tenants are allowed to LIVE in the property that they're paying for. You have no business being a landlord. [/quote]
