Hey may be charging less than $100 for very specific items to perform, and then charging you more money to perform other things.   

The things you reference in your correspondence should reference specific items in your lease (even if its just the nuisance clause).

There are occasions when it simply easier to have the customer pick it, but mostly when it's a specific item that they still have to make a choice on.

Unless you have specific items in your lease that they need to perform there is nothing you can do about how they keep their home. 

You can always reject repairs and tell a buyer that specific item is as-is, but having the whole home listed as-is points to a red flag.

@Ryan LinskeyThis specific item is not common, but service providers can charge itemized fees for pretty much anything if they wish.

Various property-specific items are not captured when using the GRM.

Secondly, make sure you get an inspection before you are locked in as I have walked away from houses that had extreme repair costs for specific items (10k and more per issue) due to: Failing septic system, mold remediation, methamphetamine contamination, dry rot.

I can see where simple items like roof and AC are must know, but more specific items tailored to houses that are not going to be owner occupied.

@Connor Heaton, I agree with Gino, that some HOAs cover exterior items, and some only cover certain items.But beyond, the specific items covered by this HOA, they will also want to understand how well funded the HOA currently is for items.
