Besides water bill, if you get a clog the water will overflow from your bowl (happened to one of my residents)

No more chance of a problem, definitely the best idea until it's fixed as well 👍

You'd rather turn the water on and off 5x a day for the foreseeable future vs spending $20 on a new fill valve and 30 mins of work to fix it?

Some people have bathrooms that are rarely used

Fair point, I'd still rather fix it for a few bucks vs having to instruct guests how to work the toilet. Gonna be an awkward conversation if someone needs more than just one flush

In my experience the water valve will start leaking from the valve itself outside of the toilet . I've never had on of those valves close and not leak. I think my failure rate is 10 out of 11
