this came to me in my email from a possible clinet odd request your thoughts?
I basically just need professional advice via email on property maintenance of acreage house being rented to tenants. I have following queries:
If the tenant has lived in the house for just 2 months, is it very likely that there will not be
potential damages to the property except normal wear and tear, which will also be rare and the house is very likely to be exactly in the same condition the way it was prior to renting?
If the tenant has lived in the house for just 2 months, is it very likely that the basement (though not used by the tenant and no one lives there) will not have major issues of maintenance including moisture accumulation that would need dehumidification daily?
Is it true that running two dehumidifiers every day would most probably be required in case of emergency flood situation only if there’s flood in the basement?
Is using dehumidifier in the basement optional or is it mandatory to be used? Can the basement be still fine if dehumidifier is not used and especially when no one lives in the basement?
If dehumidifier is to be used, running it just once or twice a month is fine to get rid of any moisture problem if there is any? Or is it required to be run every day?
Under what circumstances, do you consider the basement to be in serious condition or emergency for moisture related issues that would require immediate attention?
How basement can be checked to monitor moisture if there’s any app?
How frequently regular house inspection should be conducted? How frequently house needs to be maintained? How frequently the house needs to be inspected for damage?
Yes, I’m in the business of offering free consultation. I thank you for the opportunity to share my decades of experience at no charge. Here is my careful analysis of your situation.
Thank you for contacting me to utilize my vast knowledge. Unfortunately my crystal ball has broken and since I have helped so many for free I do not have the money to have it fixed. I do apologize I could not help you. If you would like to make a very generous donation to my “Repair My Crystal Ball Savings Fund” please send a check to my business address. Once the crystal ball has been effectively repaired and tested I will contact you with answers.
i often find that stupid people have stupid money they need to get rid of or as Manny says donate toward the cause
all my contracts/agreements for the past 15 or more yrs state
“the entire report and the inspector named have no extraordinary super- human powers or equipment and are incapable of identifying or revealing any hidden, concealed, or latent defects nor can he recite previous events or predict future events. In the event you require such services I am not the inspector to hire and this agreement shall not be entered into.”
i do my best to reply to the ?s i get
3 to the end of the nonsense request require on site evaluation imo
after that book the inspection & collect the fee
i’ve gotten to old to care what anyone else thinks

Two comments come to mind. 1. SCAMMER 2. Someone trying to set up a lawsuit.
RUN away from this - don’t just Walk away. Don’t get involved.
If the tenant has lived in the house for just 2 months, is it very likely that there will not be
potential damages to the property except normal wear and tear, which will also be rare and the house is very likely to be exactly in the same condition the way it was prior to renting? If the tenant is a drunken slob with three non-house broken Dobermans, then the house will not be the same
If the tenant has lived in the house for just 2 months, is it very likely that the basement (though not used by the tenant and no one lives there) will not have major issues of maintenance including moisture accumulation that would need dehumidification daily? Moisture comes from many places, occupancy seldom has any bearing unless there is a leak or 3 un-house trained Dobermans
Is it true that running two dehumidifiers every day would most probably be required in case of emergency flood situation only if there’s flood in the basement? Dehumidifiers do not mitigate floods, but thirsty Dobermans may help
Is using dehumidifier in the basement optional or is it mandatory to be used? Can the basement be still fine if dehumidifier is not used and especially when no one lives in the basement? Mandatory only if the Dobermans require it of you
If dehumidifier is to be used, running it just once or twice a month is fine to get rid of any moisture problem if there is any? Or is it required to be run every day? Everyday for every minute for eternity
Under what circumstances, do you consider the basement to be in serious condition or emergency for moisture related issues that would require immediate attention? Dobermans are feeding on a deer carcass in the basement
How basement can be checked to monitor moisture if there’s any app? Yes we have an app for every situation of course
How frequently regular house inspection should be conducted? How frequently house needs to be maintained? How frequently the house needs to be inspected for damage? a home inspection should be conducted daily if not hourly. The home should be maintained every second. If not inspected for damage during the daily or hourly inspection, then it should be inspected for damage momentarily or soon enough
