I'm not sure what you mean by alignment question but I wish I had asked how does a property manager determine if a repair that a tenant is requesting is due to malfunction of the system or part (so the owner's responsibility) or something the tenant is doing either intentionally or unintentionally to cause something to break.

Relocating a unit a bit away from the stove (but in compliance with fire code) may help.Regardless, I think it is very unlikely that your issues are caused by equipment malfunction as you have used two different companies. 

I understand that guests need to get into your property, but in the case of a lock malfunction, one hour to resolve it or else face those penalties is outrageous. 

An outlet malfunctioning is not a covered peril.  

James, if you don't understand ROE this late in the thread, it seems you want to bluster that you know better than everyone without understanding the most basic concept of what I'm writing about.Sorry that everything I've said has fallen on deaf ears and best of luck to you.I don't understand your malfunction as multitudes have told you what your playing at is bizarre, makes no sense, is twisting things etc etc.. 

Tenant shall immediately report any malfunctions or failures of the smoke alarm to Landlord.23.

I don't think you can charge the prior tenant for the oven if it is malfunctioning unless the prior tenant actually broke it. 

As a landlord myself if an appliance has a tech problem such as control panel malfunction, then it's time to buy new.

And then there's reasons not to....Reduced upfront costs: Providing appliances requires a significant initial investment.Lower maintenance and repair responsibilities: If the tenant owns their own appliances, the landlord is not responsible for repairs or replacements when they break down.Less risk of property damage: Washing machines can sometimes leak or malfunction, causing water damage.

This can help you identify when spikes occur, which may indicate either overuse or issues like leaks or malfunctioning equipment.
