Imagine being a landlord, owning a few properties, and experiencing this failure rate. I wouldn't be surprised that this might affect rental prices on a huge scale. I own just a few rental properties, but I'm constantly fixing things. Just in the last month. Delta faucet that had a plastic mixing valve, broke off. 5 hours to fix. Water damage to the vanity. While fixing the vale, noticed a year old baseboard heater in the same bathroom, that cover fell off. Exposing wiring. Possibly a deadly situation. Electric Water Heater, died at 6 years. 7 Hours to replace. Within the last year, I also replaced a washing machine and dryer. A closet door, so poorly made, the hinge broke out. A dish washer that works, but the plastic hinge for the detergent broke. A toilet flapper replaced twice. That also has a plastic handle for flushing that also broke. And this is just one property, in the last 6 months. Most of these things originally bought at a big name orange department store. While these appliance manufacturers might profit from selling new appliances. The losses they cause to the economy, are far greater than their profits. The reliable options are not really available anymore, at the orange store, or the blue store.
