edit: my understanding is the vapors can ignite, especially stored by a flame in a closed area over time
Thank you. At least one other person knows this! I just wanted to know if this was knowledge I could assume a reasonable person would posses. A tenant's water heater just caught on fire and he's all sorts of blaming us and the water heater, but the picture he sent us shows cleaning chemicals stored all around it in a very small closet. Before I send him a sternly worded letter about never doing this again, I wanted to know if it was reasonable for me to assume he should have already known this.

Public Service Announcement: Folks, don't store cleaning chemicals around your water heater. If you want a pic of what can happen I can share one, lol.

I found out about this from a landlord. I wouldn't have known this unless they told me. :shrug:

OT question, but I am wondering what the consensus is on this and y'all are a great sample population :)

Do you think it is safe/ok to store cleaning products in the same cabinet as a gas water heater?
As a former underwriter who worked with risk managers and loss control/mitigation specialists, the answer is no. And as an old adage-spewing Jamaican granddaughter of my grandmother, the answer is: Prevention is better than cure.

I was tempted to stay up to ham them last night but I just couldn't :p. Started around 8:40 am myself.

You did great yesterday though, and I'm sure there will be more.
Thanks, and you have done very well today! I actually woke up at midnight at the reset but half those RU ones were borked so I passed back out.

Well good to know!

Maybe I need to make up a sheet for all my tenants of things they should know. Like no flammable chemicals around an open flame. Change the filters in your heating and air units so they don't burn up, they work better, and they save you money. Don't use your oven to heat your home. Do not remove the smoke detectors or CO detectors. Do not tamper with them, either. Do not hire your friend to do electrical work in your home. Do not BBQ where there is a balcony 3' above your head. Do not park your car on the lawn. Do not cook meth in your garage.

I could go on, lol.

Not sure if I'm allowed to post this. I lost my qual a few months ago and got it back. This is the reply from them back then:


Message from OCMP5
---------------------------------
Accuracy on our tasks is VERY important.

During a recent audit, we found several obvious mistakes you made.

E.g. you marked “Motherboards”, “Projector Replacement Lamps”, and “Tail Lights” wrong for products that were obviously such by looking at both image and title.

I’ll raise you qualification back, but you have to slow down and not make these obvious mistakes again.

Thank you!
---------------------------------


PS: It was after a $0.04 batch.
Do you recall roughly how long you waited for a response from them?

the people you rent to are the people who don't need this information.

say water heater and furnace and fireplace, not open flame. they might be used to electric or them not being in an enclosed area.

Do you require that your tenants have (and show proof of) Renter's Insurance?
