Under our rental contract, we would be responsible for the cost of repairing that damage once they found it if we let something go like that. When we signed the lease they encouraged us to include that "extra" $100 in our budget under a home repair category so that if/when things come up, we've already planned for it. Anything left in that budget category at the end of the month gets swept into savings. I do see how that part of the lease could create a negative incentive, however, if money were tight and getting that faucet fixed meant the difference between food on the table or not. Fortunately we're not in that position and a maintenance issue like that would just drive me nuts until it were resolved. -Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:342137 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
