Couldn’t get into the locked property because the battery was dead on the door and the latch was broken. Ice maker didn’t work, light bulbs burned out in house, refrigerator light out, lights on deck broken and hanging, pillows so flat they were unusable, bedroom tv didn’t work, grill missing, one knife in the knife holder, dishwasher dry cycle doesn’t work, toilets ran constantly, bathroom faucet broken making hot water difficult to find, shower light burnt out, etc etc
