1- Yes. I am a small landlord and had to put this clause after one of my tenants called me in the middle of the night for silly things (i.e they clogged the toilet, could not change a simple light bulb, bathroom door handle was a bit loose etc). Why would the HOA charge for small repairs inside the condo though?

2- This one is weird and I would not agree to this. I have a clause where tenants are responsible for appliances ONLY if they do not report issues in a timely manner.

3- Some HOAs charge for move-in & move-out, he is just passing the charge to the tenants. I have rented in high raises and some of them do charge tenants for movein/moveout fees.

I rent below market and do not use a management company. I made this very clear to my tenants so they are aware that if they are high maintenance, I'll pass the charge along.

on #1 i've seen some condos that allows the building maintenance staff to do work in residents' buildings for a set fee. you can choose to get a plumber, or ask the super, etc

Makes sense especially since OP says that requests go through the management company

The mgt company doesn't do the actual maintenance--if they can be bothered, they make a call to one of their vendors (who invariably gives them a cut), and the tenant is then on their own. They'll likely be paying full freight for that minor (i.e., $400) plumbing repair.
