The list your new tenant was a list of things that would appear on a move-in list so the tenant would not be charged. Some of them might need repair while others done. If your maintenance person was responsible fro punching out the rental, you should address the missed items.
The same with a sprinkler head that is set to high and is damaged by a mower. Fix these items and move on unless you desire to deal with a unhappy tenant during the lease term.

Did anyone go over each area of the property and show the tenant how to use or operate items? That should have been done during the inspection tour between landlord and tenant. If the water heater was off, just shows that no one inspected it for problems. Looks as if the rental was not properly repaired prior to new tenants moving in.
