This happens to a lot of LLs when they go to increase rent. Tenants ALWAYS seem to find things wrong at that time. You are responsible for fixing all 5 things on your list, UNLESS you can prove the T caused the damage/problems. You should definitely fix #5, as you don't want someone getting hurt. #2 further secures your T and YOUR residence. #3 needs to be done, because things GROW, and sometimes you need to (cut back) mother nature. #1 only needs to be done if it's posing a hazard of some sort. As far as #4 goes, can you prove the T caused them? If not, repair them to make your T happy. As you said, the items are easily fixed, so just grit your teeth and do them. Once you get these items done, expect the T to find 2-3 more items for you to fix, before they are "happy" with your rent increase.

Thanks for your response.
I agree, I think these issues are only being brought up because of the rental increase. My plan is to repair the requested items as I can't prove whether or not the damage was there previously since it wasn't documented (My mistake).
