Sounds like there is about $300 needs to be done something about the supply lines yadda yadda.

I expect to hear something today as I passed along the phone call I got.

Maybe just go check into the cannery for a couple nights and stick them the bill LOL

@lvoc - You probably have a policy that is more inclusive and thus you pay a higher yearly premium. The amount of rentals I have makes having warranties pointless. I just use the premiums I would've spent as my reserve for unexpected expensive replacements.

Sorry, but that isn't an option. But "have it fixed yourself and deduct" is. Just so long as you don't try to have a diamond-encrusted heater installed. A general, run-of-the-mill heater, a $60 permit, and a licensed/insured plumber. That's all you need.

You can do your landlord a solid and try to find one that will let you buy the heater at HD/Lowe's. (Hint: Bradford White makes the best of the low-cost water heaters.)

Read the stuff. Scoop's approach will not work with many LLs. And you likely lose in court. And at best you end up with a mess.

You can't throw a fit right now, it hasn't even been half a day. You have to allow the landlords warranty to service the unit.

Interesting. My warranty (orhp.com) covers the water heater. At one of my houses, the tank water heater started to leak, I called ORHP, and a plumber with a new tank showed up within 4 hours. It took him about an hour to replace the leaking tank with a new one. All it cost me was the $60 per call fee.

Actually I maintain mine primarily because of two AC units over 20 years old. I would tend to agree that they don't pay otherwise. Most small things I don't even bother. The home warrantees are too big a nuisance.

I would note that the last dish washer repair end up hung for three days waiting for the part. So it looks like the ability of the local repair guys to procure parts locally and quick is going away as they adopt internet stocking systems.

Just curious -- how many rentals do you have where you found it makes sense to self-insure?

And of course, all forms of insurance are, statistically speaking, a bad deal. That's how insurance & warranty companies earn a profit. I'm thinking of dropping the protection plans and self-insuring as you do, but I haven't done that yet.

You chose the wrong home warranty company. My hot water heaters are covered by HSA.
