"home like blocked drains, then sprayer fell off faucet, even though its in the lease for her to repair she could not afford it"

Tenants should not be responsible for making repairs themselves. This will cause them to either not notify you of needed repairs or they will make shoddy duct-tape repair jobs.

Tenants should be held responsible for problems that they cause directly or by negligence. Tenants should not be held responsible for things like 'the sprayer fell off the faucet'. Was the sprayer abused or did it just break?

A stopped drain if it's happening repeatedly may not be the tenant's fault. You should analyze every repair yourself since, after all, it's your property.

hi thanks for your opinion the blocked drains were 1st time sanitary towels and the 2nd time it was toy cars and the sprayer was actually pulled off the pipe , the lady makes all the kids have chores which I thinks great but also is resulting in damage I don't mind paying for repairs I expect to perform repairs but wondering how many repairs I will have to make with 8 kids that was the question, if the house becomes a liability I may as well leave it empty thanks

If the drain was blocked by sanitary napkins and toys, then the cost of the repair is definitely on the tenants. Just don't let them do the repairs themselves.
