Hello @Jake Andronico,I wish the properties I owned in other states came close to our $400 annual average maintenance cost.Note that the $400 includes minor repairs such as running toilets, dripping faucets, and appliance malfunctions.

Electrical outlet issueIf an outlet is malfunctioning or short-circuiting, that is typically the landlord’s responsibility because it’s a safety issue.But you are not responsible for the tenant’s damaged computer.

Malfunctioning smoke detectors or CO alarms.g.

The basement did flood before I bought the property and before the basement was finished but I was told that was due to a sump pump malfunction that has been rectified.My question is do I just gut the whole basement so it's not a problem?

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. 

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.. 

An outlet malfunctioning is not a covered peril.  

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