I think they should be much faster and more effective at making repairs. (My mom says the same thing about her building.)
It’s all about greed. If they don’t have to make repairs, they don’t have to spend money. However, the last time I did taxes (a VERY long time ago!) repairs on rental property were deductible, so why the bother? Also, the employee cost.
The manager asked if “we” had taken care of all the repairs and I said, “It’s been almost a year, and I think the door about finishes it. I’ll look at my list, though, and let you know what else needs to be done.” So owner and manager know I keep records.
