It’s a little bit harder than Monopoly.

The Most Common Maintenance and Repairs you can expect from your Rental Property:

  • Fridge/Stove/Dishwasher not working
  • Minor repairs may be fixed by the landlord themselves
  • Larger repairs will require a qualified appliance repair person
  • Between $50 and $100 per hour and can be handled in an hour
  • Water Leak in Ceiling or Under Windows
  • Can destroy wood, flooring, drywall, or any other surface on your property
  • Moisture can cause mold to grow
  • Could require a plumber or a roofing contractor
  • Be sure to verify whether your property was water supply lines
  • Water Leaf Under Sink
  • Can be because of
  • the supply line -> the pipe that brings water to the sink
  • Or the drain -> from sink to sewer
  • Drainpipe not fitting together properly
  • Can fix yourself or hire a plumber
  • Water Drip From Faucets
  • This can cost you $100s per year in hydro
  • The faucet may need to be replaced; don’t cheap out on the plastic one because it’ll come back at you in the long-term…
