[quote=Anonymous][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.

My amazing tenants a couple with one kid were nightmare train wrecks wrecking things during pandenic from around summer 2021 to spring 2022. Back to great again

They normally work in person and kid in day care. They in pandemic both worked from home, kid then home then mom moved out to help with kid. Now I got 4 people 24/7 and wear and tear was really high.

It is what it is and back to normal

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][/quote]
