Should Dryer Vent Be Replaced Because of Potential Fire?

Hi BP Family! Hope this year is treating you well.

I had this question come up for my Property Managers for my SFH out of state. He wrote:

"During the recent dryer vent clean and check it was found that the ducting is not up to code. Flex duct was used in closed spaces, which is a hazard. We have a quote of $385 to have this replaced with proper duct work."

He then sent me this link to explain Dryer Vent Safety

Do you all think that this is necessary or a good investment? $385 sounds pricey to me. I know they have their maintenance guy's labor worked into the quote, but I don't know what is involved.

Thanks for your feedback!
