4plex,that is why I am looking in UTC or maybe CV, because it would be within 20′ drive at most. I live in UTC and when I buy a SFR for me, it would be on the 56 corridor if not UTC. I meant that in case my sister buys, I’d probably deal with all those problems.
I now rent in a townhouse that is managed by a rental agency (out of town owner). I haven’t bothered to call the agent for every single thing that went wrong in the house. If I had spare, matching light bulbs, I replaced them. I figured out how to remove the sink stopper and remove all the crap the previous tenants left (yes, sinks were backing up like you said). I repainted 2 rooms on my own dime. I replaced the really old garden hose. I applied WD40 wherever necessary. Didn’t even bother to mentioned ahead of time all those little things to the agent (except for painting).I guess we are model renters. We did call the agent when the problem was too complex, too big or too time consuming or too expensive. The agent then sent in a handyman or whatever.
The agency is ReMax, BTW. Any experience with them?
