Things like a light fixture that has been removed and not replaced or properly capped off...actual missing flooring...any plumbing leak that would keep the system from holding pressure...a malfunctioning thermostat on the oven...etc.The reason I bring these things up is that if the required repairs - that is the repairs FHA requires to be done before they will underwrite a loan - are greater than $5000, then the property WILL NOT qualify for FHA financing.  

In the event there is a malfunction of an appliance or an appliance is in need of repair, Tenant agrees to notify Landlord in a timely manner and in writing.

We've read of a tenant suing a landlord for providing a lawnmower that somehow malfunctioned and injured the tenant.  

To your note about the tenant complaints, (usually) the only two times I see tenants get involved in those matters are if their quality of life is affected by a building malfunction or if they're what I would call "professional" tenants.

@Rufaro Chirewa all it will take is one system malfunction or a large capex repair for this deal to be an absolute bust, not that it isn't already.

We have a lockbox with a key for backup in case the electrical part malfunctions.

Any damage caused by improper maintenance of the appliance or its malfunction will be repaired by the Landlord at the undersigned Tenant(s) expense.Tenant’s clothes washer and dryer will only be used by the legal occupants of the rental unit (as determined by the signed Lease Agreement, referenced above).

I also feel like it's a good way for me to check in on the property in an appropriate way & opens a line of communication pretty regularly throughout the year with my tenant in case something is malfunctioning or not working right.

Three weeks ago the tenants reported that the pool/spa heater is malfunctioning.

In the interim, I want to practice some of the basic repair skills that I'll need to draw upon to be the sort of landlord who doesn't have to blow cash on a contractor every time the tiniest thing malfunctions.
