In my experience the only issue with water heater is if they get old they eventually start leaking and have to be replaced.

Exploding water heater issues sounds like more exaggeration and scare stories from Mr. Dan. Things that will never happen.

However I do turn down the temperature on the heater a bit on it's thermostat if it's been set too high by the factory (or whomever), so that tenants don't get scalded.

advice from a very helpful professional landlord dismissed by lowly a little person who misses the point also. facts verses your experience? facts will always win!

I'm always amazed by some small fry landlord dissing advice from seemingly a more professional landlord such as Mr. Dan. Nothing wrong with his advice, point was well made with facts. And that was to protect your tenants and your rental property by inspecting the water heater when you do your quarterly or seasonal inspections. Didn't see any claims of violent explosions happening being stated either. Just facts that a landlord should be aware of. If memory is correct, J is is a small fry 4 property landlord with little experience behind him. He surely is no expert in water heaters!
