- Aloha 3y agoIn the states not having a garbage disposal is a relative rarity, but I'll give you that. Sprinklers are a regional thing. We also had to replace: Drywall due to mold issues Leaking Laundry Valves (see above) A leaking hose bib which necessitated sweating on new fittings New fittings on the hot water heater (to add a shutoff) Various other electrical work (replace outlets, retorque loose neutral, brought grounding most of the way up to modern code - house had no buried ground rod) To make my point further - I've had many of these issues at an apartment, in my time living in apartments I've had the following work done in or around my unit: Replacement of in wall heater Replacement of Garburator Replacement of Hot Water Heater Replacement of Shower Vales Replacement of AC Condenser Replacement of Dishwasher Replacement of Hot Water Heater (and remediation of the water damage from it) Replacement of Water Faucets Replacement of Load Center (Fuse Box) Repair of Refrigerator and Stove Installation of new landscaping (new sod, bushes, etc) Repair/Replacement of Sprinklers Repaving of parking area Replacement of Roof Painting Replacement of Siding Cleaning of HVAC Ducting The total cost to me on all of these issues was zero dollars - and thats my point. Those multitude of repairs are not free when you own your home, and can often be quite costly.
