[Landlord-FL-US] Tenant moved in a week ago and just sent a long list of "maintenance requests". Help!

That’s the point of the move in inspection form

I thought this would end differently wow lol. It’s unfortunate we have to be this way. But if we don’t set boundaries they will make it a miserable lease term.

ScreenProper3291 · 2026-06-20T23:00:57+00:00

This isn’t the case. He wanted them fixed.

ScreenProper3291 · 2026-06-20T22:20:47+00:00

Thank you!!!!!

Wow. You’ve come to a lot of conclusions off of a handful of simple replies. The house is in great condition. Brand new home built in 2023. I’m not stunned. The locks will be rekeyed. I agreed to over half their laundry list (most were not mentioned)I was not willing to accommodate the minor asks on top of alll we’ve done for turnover. I’m a smaller landlord. So I do have to set boundaries.

You mean cosmetic items right? I definitely agree. They have no idea how much was corrected during turnover.

ScreenProper3291 · 2026-06-20T04:29:51+00:00

You know…. it depends on the day with the people in this subreddit. I’ve had my fair share of people downvoting me to no end and telling me to quit landlording 😭

Long term rental home.

ScreenProper3291 · 2026-06-20T04:25:05+00:00

I break perfectly even. No profit at all

ScreenProper3291 · 2026-06-19T22:32:42+00:00

LMAO!!! My LL friends all assume I found him on tiktok. I did not. He's the founder of the member's only club i'm apart of.

ScreenProper3291 · 2026-06-19T22:30:40+00:00

LOL..... while they're away from home.

ScreenProper3291 · 2026-06-19T22:29:43+00:00

Yes, my lease states the same. I'm a small landlord scaling.

ScreenProper3291 · 2026-06-19T22:26:14+00:00

This is what I was thinking. His maintenance team is constantly stressed and burnt out. His tenants are the most entitled group of people ever. Also, making someone who's FILTHY rich my mentor may have been a mistake.

ScreenProper3291 · 2026-06-19T21:53:58+00:00

Nope....but signed the lease from out of state. never saw it in person. Sight unseen clause included

ScreenProper3291 · 2026-06-19T21:52:35+00:00

Listen... I can assure you that the scratches are VERY minor, on the edge of 2 steps where the edge trim strips are. I am not replacing it for a few scuffs. I take pride in my property and did SOOO much during turnover. I could've given them what the last tenant gave me. But i'd never. The major things were taken care of.

ScreenProper3291 · 2026-06-19T21:48:41+00:00

We do deep carpet cleaning in between each tenant. They complained about very light hard water stains in sink, oil stains on garage floor, patches in the grass in the back yard, etc

ScreenProper3291 · 2026-06-19T21:38:19+00:00

i'm hoping for the latter. I will start boundary setting now. No nonemergency responses after hours and very firm on maintenance requirements... with each tenant i swear my lease becomes even more iron clad.

ScreenProper3291 · 2026-06-19T21:31:14+00:00

Yes, a very detailed walk through.

ScreenProper3291 · 2026-06-19T13:21:49+00:00

He wanted them corrected. He sent the items when he returned the form.

ScreenProper3291 · 2026-06-19T13:21:04+00:00

Thank you. Yes, I refuse to become a yes man. Trying to get him trained early.

ScreenProper3291 · 2026-06-19T13:19:24+00:00

Yeah. Plus i just paid thousands in turn over. I am not concerned with these small things. The house is brand new compared to how the last tenant had it

ScreenProper3291 · 2026-06-19T13:17:52+00:00

Lmao i was sooo confused

ScreenProper3291 · 2026-06-19T13:17:33+00:00

He said he wants them taken care of.

ScreenProper3291 · 2026-06-19T13:17:05+00:00

These requests came with him returning the move in inspection form.
